Center Cuts Delinquency

Meridian Street Church Has Work and Play Rule That 200 Like.

Juvenile delinquency in the area served by the Meridian Street Methodist Church has decreased 50 per cent since it opened its community center, a survey of Juvenile Court records by Federal social service agencies indicated today. The center is sponsored by the church's Stansfield Circle, but Mrs. Wilbur D. Peat, president, says that its activities are social rather than religious and that Jewish, Catholic and Protestant children alike are served. Since there is no settlement house close to St. Clair and Meridian Sts., where the church is located, children come to the center's clubs and classes from as far as two and a half miles away. “The exciting thing about the work,” says Douglas Edwards, director, “is that new activities are opened up constantly as the children express a desire or need for them.”

Smiles For Everyone

province director, was to award the achievement cup for extra-curricular activities and scholarship to Miss | June Winter of DePauw University. | |A cup also was to be presented to | the chapter with the greatest num{per of alumnae and active members present, | Mrs. J. M. Coleman, Loveland, O, a founder, was to be a guest. Active chapter presidents inclyde Miss (Winter, DePauw; Miss Marian | Johnson, Indiana University, and | Miss Edna Agnew, Franklin College.

Active and alumnae members of | Alpha Delta Pi Sorority of Eta Province, comprising chapters in | Indiana and Illinois, were to meet |today at the Indianapolis Athletic Club for their annual province convention, About 300 members and | delegates were expected. National officers who were to speak at the sessions are Miss Maxine Blake, Seattle, first vice president; Mrs. Howard R. Peter-| ‘son, Chicago, Adelphean editor; Mrs. Richard M. Palmer, Chicago, ‘vice president of Eta Province; | (Mrs. Richard Sheppard, Cleveland Heights, O., Zeta Province vice] president, and Miss Mary Elizabeth | McKeand, Rushville, president of Eta Province. Program features were to include an informal luncheon, a tea for In-|

dianapolis and Butler Pan-Hellenic |

Councils, a banguet and a formal] model initiation. The four active] chapters, Sigma, University of Illi- | 'nois; Beta Alpha, Indiana Univer- | sity; Phi, Hanover College, and Beta Rho, Lake Forest College, Lake Forest, Ill, were to present stunts. Miss Blake will broadcast at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning over Station WIRE. Music for the program will be furnished by the Hanover Sextet, composed of Misses Dorothy Allison, Martha Bunch, Alice Robinson, Roberta Jones, Jeanette Turner, and Mary Shelby.

“For example,” he recalled,” ® group of little girls decided they would like to embroider as their grandmothers did. They ‘were

promptly organized into a class, a teacher found for them and now they work away one afternoon a week. Tap dancing and piano lessons were provided in the same way for others.” Sightseeing visitors being shown through the center by Mr. Edwards may expect interruptions, for he greets every boy and girl who passes with a smile and as often as not by name, although about 200 children attend the center regularly. To observe all the clubs and classes in action it would be necessary to be present daily, Tuesday through Saturday. Children too small to read the books in the center's City Library branch attend the story hour when carefully selected tales are told to him. They also join the rhythm band and enjoy supervised play.

Boy and Girl Scouts

The Boy Scout troop, of which Robert J. Webb is scoutmaster, is sometimes called an Americanzation club. Italians, Armenians and Greeks are now enrolled and Koreans, Japanese and Chinese have been among former members. Miss Elizabeth Taggart, who is chairman of the dance to be given

(by the Stansfield Circle at the

benefit of the center, is also Girl Scout leader. Proceeds from the dence are to be used to purchase materials and equipment for the center. Model airplanes, bird houses, bookends and all manner of useful or decorative airtcles are made in the woodcraft shop by boys or varying ages while girls turn their hands to weaving, ‘dressmaking and the like. A recreation room is open where

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

Text: Acts 15:36; 16:4-15

By WILLIAM E.

GILROY, D. D.

Editor of Advance

the strategic nature of the facts

HE title of this lesson, “Paul Crosses Into Europe,” suggests at once

with which it is dealing. Tt is quite

probable that some of those of the new Christian faith had already made | their way into Europe in a day when, despite all the difficulties of travel,

the Jews were found in various places as

| craftsmen. One of Paul's early letters was the Bpistle to the Romans, and there was evidently a strong group of ‘Christians there before Paul ever made his way late in life and as a prisoner to the Imperial Oity. But if Christian disciples had made their way into Europe, they had lacked Paul's fervent spirit of propagandism and his organizing genius, so that Paul's crossing over into Europe in answer to the Macedonian call may be regarded as the real introduction of Christianity into Europe. There it was soon in its development to transcend its growth and spread in Asia. » » »

T is well that we should grasp the dramatic fulfillment of this beginning. Paul comes to Macedonia in response to a vision in a dream. His course in the Grecian cities of culture and progress is not greatly dif|ferent from the course shaped by persecutions in the cities of Asia! Minor. We find him in the midst of riot and tumult in Ephesus as hostile Jews and pagan Greeks alike resent his proclamation of the Christian faith; we find him thrust into prison at Philippi, in the stocks with his companion Silas, and far in the inner dungeon; we find him disputing with the seekers of religious novelty on Mars Hill in Athens, laughed td scorn when he speaks of the resurrection. Yet, here and there, as he went, in spite of hardships and persecution, he left groups that developed into churches, and churches that developed into a great movement, until the ‘Church—becoming a more worldly organization—attained its place as the chief power in the Empire. We find the Christian movement

aggressive tradesmen and

It is a time for all Christians to seek a share in Paul's vision and faith. It is a time for us to remember whence our religion has come and how much the Christian world owes to the Jewish race; also how essential Jews and Christians are linked together in the great ideals of righteousness, brotherhood, and peace,

games are available, Work and Play, Too

One fast rule prevails, according to Mrs. Peat. Those who come regularly to the center to play must also join some class or club. Mrs. Peat does not hold with the all play and no work theory. A basket ball league has been organized and teams come from neighboring towns to play. Meridian Center won the basket ball trophy in its league last year and second place this year. The mothers’ club meets regularly to sew and talk over the latest ideas in homemaking, baby tending and family health with Dr. Ada Sweitzer and Mrs. Ethel Dennis. “Once a month they have a party, and a very festive time it is,” says Mrs, Peat,” ‘with all the mothers looking fresh and lively as their daughters.” “Very soon now the church building ‘will seem ‘warm and confining to the youngsters,” Mr. Edwards prophesies. “The call of the out-of-doors ‘will get pretty strong by the middle of May and we’ll move over to Public School 2 ‘where the playground will be at our disposal.”

parish and the Motor Mission work by the Rev. Fr. Thomas J. Mindrup. Meetings are to be held on the streets of Hancock County towns, Father Spalding said. They will begin at 7:30 p. m. and close at 8 o'clock usually for a period of six evenings. A prayer, frequently the “Our Father” ‘will be said at the opening and close of the services. A familiar Catholic hymn will be sung each evening by the two priests and seminarians assist them, ‘after which Father Spalding and Father Mindrup will each make a 20-min-ute talk dealing with some phase of Catholic faith. Listeners ‘will be encouraged to ask questions when the priests finish speaking. “We ‘use the positive method of teaching,” Father Spalding explained, “since it is our purpose to give information and not to tear down or take issue with the religious beliefs of others. So far we have been treated with respect and there has been no heckling.” Tather Spalding described the Motor Mission equipment as being “almost as simple as that of the earliest Christians,” consisting of a portable organ and pulpit and literature for free distribution. No collections are taken. Father Spalding cited the good feeling generated and the fact that

They have been instructing five convert classes with a total enrollment of 60 and four children’s groups, including 50 boys and girls. About 135 adults interested through the Motor Mission are now taking religious correspondence courses with Kenrick Seminary in Missouri. Protestants have become better informed concerning the Catholic Church and some Catholics, in towns ‘where the Motor Mission meetings have been held, who had grown slack in spiritual matters, have renewed their faith, Father Spalding claims.
