First Evangelical Holds

No Money-Makin

The First Evangelical church sponsors no money-making projects of any kind, its pastor, the Rev. Harold H. Hazenfield, said today. It is supported entirely by freewill giving, he stated. Another unusual feature of the church is its emphasis on variety in worship services. | The Rev. Mr. Hazenfield says he has been “merely trying to get the run of things” since he came to Indianapolis in May. Nevertheless he and his congregation are planning to welcome members of joint « commissions of the United Brethren and Evangelical Churches next month. . In discussing the support of the church, the pastor said that he and many of the members tithe, setting aside a tenth of their incomes each month for the church and benevolences. “In addition to the spiritual benefits you get from tithing,” the 28-year-old minister observed, “you plan your finances very carefully and that somehow leads to greater prosperity.” | Organ Honors Veterans

Distinguishing features of the church, which was built in 1882, ape the book-shaped bulletin board, the four crosses outlined in flashing lights on the steeple and the loudspeaker that amplifies the sound of chimes and organ, giving the steeple the name of “The Tower of the S . Crosses.” The organ, a memorial to the church’s members who served in the World War, has one pipe for each of them. Sa In regard to the variety in worship, the Rev. M. Hazenfield described the Sunday morning service as in sharp contrast to the evening program. The morning worship | is choral, stately and dignified. | In the evening an easy informal atmosphere prevails. The congregation and youth chorus sing lively hymns, an evangelistic sermon is preached and members of the conile ¥ encouraged to rise A :

g Events

On Thursday evenings, after a church supper and worship service, the men of the Albright Brotherhood, the women of the Women’s Federation, the youths of the Young People’s Department and the children of the church school hold separate meetings and prayer, the Rev. Mr. Hazenfield said.

Origins Are Similar

The uniting commissions are to complete plans for merging the denominations, both of which trace their origins to disciples of Wesleyan missionaries among Germanspeaking Americans shortly after the Revolution. These Evangelical churches are distinct from those of Calvinistic origin which now form part of the Evangelical and Reformed denomination. Business sessions of the uniting session are| to be held in the Evangelical Church and mass meetings in the| First United Brethren Church Nov. 9 to 12. Dr. Reuben H. Mueller, | district superintendent and member of the First Evangelical Church, and Bishop H. H. Fout, senior bishop of the United Brethren denomination and member of the| First United Brethren Church, form the arrangements committee. | A week | of spiritual emphasis meetings is to open at the evening service Oct} 22.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Text: Matthew 5:1-16

By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D.D. | Editor of Advance - | THIS LESSON is taken from the early part of what we call the Sermon on the Mount, which is generally recognized

as the greatest of all sermons. This was a sermon to a very

preacher of today would be apt to feel that his sermon was wasted if he

delivered it to a handful of people In the church today as well as in the world, we tend to measure Yungs too much by size and numers. ‘ Jesus sat down while delivering the sermon. It was a session of teaching rather than the subjection of His audience to formal oratory. There were no tricks of elocution to enforce the significance of the truth. The Sermon on the Mount is a sheer statement of spiritual truth, dependent for its appeal to mind and conscience entirely upon its truth. The Sermon on the Mount begins with a pronunciation . of blessing. The teaching of Jesus was positive. There were times when, with scornful and terrible language, He lashed the sins of His day, particularly the sins of those who oppressed the poor, took pride in their wealth and position, and made religion a cloak for their hypocrisy. But the Sermon on the Mount is not a sermon of denunciation. It is a sermon of uplift and appeal that sets before the citizens of. the Kingdom of Heaven a great ideal.

THE FIRST blessing that Jesus pronounces is on the poor in spirit, to whom He say belongs the Kingdom of Heaven. There has been a great deal of controversy about what this means. Surely Jesus did not mean “poverty in spirit” in the literal mean-

ing of those words, for Jesus Him-|doing

and His disciples must be as their Lord. | Evidently what Jouus ‘had in mind was the contrast between the Kingdom of Heaven and the kingdom of earth. In the kingdom of earth it is the aggressive and self-seeking who are often powerful. In the Kingdom of Heaven the strength of a citizen is not his aggressiveness and selfishness. It is his capacity for love and unselfishness, and for sacrifice where truth and duty demand it. One might remark upon the strange contrast that is contained with worldly standards in other of these Beatitudes. The citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its savor or its strength it is of no value. : Citizenship is not a matter of formal privilege, but of worth and right. The citizens of the kingdom are compared to a city that is set on a hill. Thay are the light of the world. If the light is not shining, it is of no use. The citizens are called to ‘glorious opportunities and responsibilities and they may so let their light shine before men that their good works may be seen and their Father in Heaven glorified. Here, too, we may note a very real distinction. There is an ostentatious show of good works that glorifies the individual. That is not

Strike at Nash Plant Ends:

Workers to Return Monday.

KENOSHA, Wis., Oct. 21 (U. P.). —The Nash-Kelvinator automobile

| plant, Kenosha, and the Seaman

Body Corp. plant, Milwaukee, will resume operations Monday, reopening jobs for approximately 6100 employees. An agreement to end a strike was ratified by U.A.W. Nash employees late yesterday. The Kenosha plant was closed Oct. 2 after the United Automobile Workers local, C. I. O. affiliate, had called the strike because of a breakdown in negotiations for a contract. The shutdown threw 3000 out of work and halted production at the Seaman plant, employing 3100, which supplies parts to the Nash plant.

I. C. C. Power at Stake

Times Special WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—The authority of the Interstate Commerce Commission to protect employees who lose their jobs in railroad mergers is challenged in an important labor -case the U. S. Supreme Court has just agreed to review. Rights of labor have been an important issue in the long controversy over railroad consolidations. Management and labor reached an agreement here about three years ago governing severance pay for workers who lose their jobs. In at least one recent railroad consolidation, the workers decided to be satisfied with terms of that voluntary agreement. But in the case now before the Court the ICC itself set out protective conditions. The Commission considered the proposal of the receivers for the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific and the Chicago, Rock Island & Gulf Railways for the former company to lease the facilities of the latter. It approved the lease, but conditioned this upon protection of employees of the latter’s auditing office at Ft. Worth. These em-

receive severance pay. The scale ranged from 60 per cent of six months’ pay for employees who had been with the company one year and less than two years, to the same percentage of 60 months’ pay for employees who had been with the concern 15 years or more. In addiion, the home-owning employee in Ft. Worth was to be protected against loss in the sale of

bear the expense of moving employee transferred from Ft. Worth to Chicago. : ICC Overruled A three-judge court heard the protest of the receivers for the roads and overruled the Commission, which, incidentally, had reached its decision by a six-to-four vote, The ICC's cpnditions, the lower court held, are “illegal and void” because the Commission exceeded its authority in decreeing them. ICC Commissioner Joseph B. Eastman: admitted that there is “reasonable” doubt of the Commision’s authority to fix such conditions to protect employees, but added that “such protection is desirable and in the public interest.”

‘Bad Faith’ Charged DETROIT, Oct. 21 (U. P)—A Chrysler Corp. spokesman today accused the United Automobile Workers Union (C. I. 0.) of “bad faith” in negotiations to settle a production dispute which has made 55,000 workers idle. Herman L. Weckler, Chrysler vice president in charge of operations, said the union’s rejection of a com-pany-proposed agreement for fixing production schedules was further proof that its speedup charges were a “smoke screen set up to disguise its demand for a union shop—which in effect becomes a closed shop.” The negotiations were in ad-

journment for the week-end.

Prank Turns . Sour On F: ive

Times Special . FRANKLIN, Ind, .Oct. 21 (U. P.).—Five Halloween pranksters from the Franklin College student body were in Dean John Cady’s ‘custody after a campus caper that ended in a conflagration. Fifty students were about to ‘ignite an outbuilding, which they had seized and carried to the campus, when Franklin police arrived yesterday. As officers were leading the pranksters away, one of them hung back and touched a match to the backyard pagoda. The fire department then moved in and took over. Police released 45 of the party, and turned the others over to Dean Cady, who said he would try to “square things with the. property owner and residents of the city.”

PROOF BRITISH SUNK ATHENIA IS GLAIMED

BERLIN, Oct. 21 (U. P.).—Newspapers gave sensational prominence today to a charge by D. N. B,, offi‘cial German news agency, that the British liner Athenia was wrecked by an explosion of munitions in her holds. Much of the charge was based on an affidavit Gustav Anderson, Illinois traveling agency manager, submitted a few days ago to Congressmen.

Mr. Anderson, one of the Athenia survivors, said he had been told by members of the Athenia crew that

coast defenses in Halifax and Quebec, and that after the Athenia was wrecked, he and 49 other survivors saw, from their rescue ship three British cruisers shell the half-sunk Athenia until she went down, presumably because she was a derelict and menace to navigation. That was 14 hours after the explosion on the Athenia, Mr. Anderson said. The fact that the Athenia floated so long proved it was an internal explosion, D. N. B. said, because if

sunk at once as did the battleship Royal Oak.

Charge Groundless, British Retort

LONDON, Oct. 21 (U. P.).—The admiralty announced today that the report that the wrecked liner Athenia had been sunk by British shell fire was “absolutely without foundation.”
