HOPKINS NAMED | Leaders Discuss Church
AS PRESIDENT OF
"MISSION GROUP §
Assumes Office in Ritual Conducted at Third Christian Church.
Bry HARRY MORRISON Dr. gumed the presidency of the United Christian Missionary Society at] ceremonies last night at the Ng Christian Church,
Robert Milton Hopkins as-|
In accepting the charge of the|
gociety as given to him by former} society president Dr. Frederick W. Burnham of Richmond, Va, Dr. Hopkins defined the task that lay | before him and the society.
Christian Unity Urged
He declared the Church was fae-|
ing more dangers than it the past century and urged the need] for more missionaries and more resources, Stating that there were more nonhristians in the world now than there were ten vears ago, he said the goal of the Society “was to ap-| propriate the Christian way of life, | to realize a great Christian brotherhood. and to achieve a unity of all | of God's people.” More than 600 persons, a third of them from the 41 other states in which the Disciples of Christ, So-! ciety parent body, are represented, jammed the church auditorium for the two-hour ceremony i
Gavel Is Presented !
Dr. W. F. Rothenburger of Indianapolis, board of trustees chairman, gave Dr. Hopkins the society charter, a Bible and a gavel, indicative, Dr. Rothenburger said, “not so much of authority as of administra-| fon.” “The Church is facing again the! forces that have ever sought to des i Dr Hopkins said. “War, race hatred and greed are among them and they are all man. Save] forces “Missionaries are no longer alone | in their tasks. Colleagues are multiplving men and women equally daring and| equaily devoted as those who have! gone before. They are ushering in hat era of goodwill for which the| whole world is longing. Pleads For More Churches
“But there is more organized opposition to the Christian Church at) this time than at any previous time within a century. The world is in a ferment seeking substitutes for Goad “There are more non-Christians in the world than there were ten years ago and the resources in missionaries and funds from sending; jes are relatively considerably less than they were a generation! ago | “In order to achieve a more per-| fect union with which to fight] against the lag in Christianity we must rekindle the fires of evangelism. We must plant churches and Sunday schoels. We must start the rekindling in our home circles. | “And we must sound the cail for! recruits. The shock resuiting from the interruption of volunteers for missionary service is undoubtedly more directly responsible for our present lethargy than any other cause,” he declared. |
TEACHERS' TRAINING SUBJECT OF STUDY
A committee of 15 school patrons and educators from all sec-| tions of Indiana was organized at} a State House meeting today to start a State-wide study of teachers’ training. The committee, Flovd I. AeMurray, tendent of public instruction, will outliy he a new pattern of training for future high school teachers “Changi ng conditions of modern times have made it necessary that the training of teachers be revised along more progressive lines” Mr AléMurray said
