D4 JANE JORDAN—I am a businessman and seldom read your column although I am a subscriber of The Times. However, my young daughter is a regular reader of yours.

are still on the loose, and

I hate to see my children subjgcted to such

theoretical doctrines as were erroneously declared by J. C. ~~ Your good ability to quickly expose such radicals is a'good influenge for the readers in your community. I have no hopes that J. C.

By WILLIAM E.

NEVITABLY lessons on the kingdom of Heaven have to do with the coming of the King, the founding of the kingdom in His teachings and acts while He was here, and the commission that He gave to His disciples for the continu building of the Kingdom. ; We begin our study of the kingdom of Heaven with a lesson on the infancy of Jesus and the preservation of His earthly life. The Messiahship of Jesus was grounded in Old Testament prophecies. Jesus himself would have denied that He was the founder of the kingdom of God. He said that He had come to fulfill the teachings of the prophets, and He constantly represented the teaching and work of the prophets as having laid the foundation. It is this, also, upon which’ we find Paul and other early ‘Christian leaders insisting. Saints and prophets have laid the foundation of the structure of which Jesus Christ is the cornerstone and head, and the saints and prophets, as they

are always aroused about anything that may shake their power and authority. When the wise men came from the East to seek the infant Jesus whose star they had seen, they naturally appealed to Herod, the ruler of Judea. The talk of one porn who was to be in authority in Israel greatly alarmed Herod. Herod wes a glamorous ruler, but he was cruel and relentless where his own interests were concerned. He did not adopt half measures but determined to do away with this king, of whom prophets and wise men spoke, by destroying all the children in and around Bethlehem under 2 years of age. 4 It was under these circumstances that Joseph took Mary and the child and fled into Egypt, to remain there until after Herod’s death when they returned to the homeland and dwelt in the city called Nazareth. It was from this that Jesus was to be known as “the Nazarene.” Nazareth was the fitting home for a future Messiah, situated as it was on the brow of a great hill where the very loB suggested, vision, and near

preceded Jesus, are following Him

A Church’s Personality—

More than 100 children formerly without religious connections of any kind are now attending Roberts Park Methodist Church School as a result of public school surveys. They have been enrolled since December when surveys made of near-: by Schools 2 and 9 disclosed that

church or Sunday school. The church school officials sent

out letters of invitation to the children to come to a Christmas party and thus made the first contact with them which finally resulted in enrollments.

3 ‘Homecoming Tomorrow

This is one of the achievements to be celebrated at the Roberts Park Rally Day and Homecoming tomorrow Bishop Titus Lowe will be a guest and speaker. The Roberts Park Church has two popular names. One of them, “The Cathedral Church of Indiana Methodism,” was given to it by Bishop Thirkield. That was even before Methodists and friends from Indianapolis and the whole state aided in refinancing its debt .and before the Methodist Indiana Annual Conference made it the official meeting place. Members of the church gave it the second name, “The Young People’s Church,” despite its 98 years, because of the influence of its work in a downtown parish. Two thousand young people with no church affiliations live in a five-block radius. :

140 Youths in Church

“Not a week goes by in which I don’t receive letters from pastors or parents of my own and, other deeir young people are in the city and asking me to look after them,” the Rev. E. E. Aldrich, pastor, said today. “I've got five right here fo answer this morning.” The pdstor or Miss Vera

of the church’s young people calls on each of these new arrivals. A census taken on a typical Sunday some weeks ago which showed

bowling, gymnasium work and I Lcraft will be included in thei
