Local Scenes Highlighted In Jenkins Autobiography

Familiar Indianapolis personalities and scenes are described by Dr. Burris Jenkins in his new autobiography, “Where My Caravan Has

Rested.” (Willett and Clark.) Among the many places where Dr. Burris’ “caravan” has rested in its 70-year journey is the old Third Christian Church here, where he feels he had a very successful pastorate. The Third Church then was at 13th St. and Carroliton Ave. in what is now St. Paul's Evangelical and Reformed Church. The author also served as president of Butler University then in Irvington, but calls his administration a dismal

failure. Mrs. William A. Shullenberger of Indianapolis considers “Where My Caravan Has Rested” not only an story of the minister's

life but an excellent contemporary history of the Disciples of Christ brotherhood.” In the book Dr. Jenkins tells of an encounter with James Whitcomb Riley who supplied him with a verse to use in a sermon, speaks with affection of Hilton U. Brown, and talks at length of Senator Albert J. Beveridge. Among his fellow members in the Indianapolis Literary Club, Dr. Jenkins refers to Booth Tarkington, Meredith Nicholson, D. Laurence Chambers, former President Benjamin Harrison and Thomas Taggart. The author is now pastor of the Linwood Boulevard Christian Church in Kansas City. According to Dr. G. I. Hoover of Indianapolis, ne is such a popular preacher, that lie frequently delivers his sermon

Three generations of Disciples of Christ missionaries in her family have preceded Patricia to India. “Faith” is her middle name. Sailing also are Patricia Faith's father, brother and sisters.

Church and Sunday School At Odds? Opinions Differ

Considerable discussion is being caused here by the charge of Dr. E. G. Homrighausen, former Carrollton Avenue Evangelical and Reformed Church pastor, that “there is a cleavage between religious education and the church.” The indictment is brought in a Christian Century article, “Religious Education vs. the Church.” Dr. Homrighausen, now a Princeton Theological Seminary professor, addressed religious and civic groups in many parts of the city before he resigned his North Side pastorate two years ago. Last summer he returned to preach in his old pulpit and to lead a course for the Indiana Council of Religious Education at Madison. Hoosier Makes Distinction

“A trifle stupid,” is Dr. E. R. Bartlett's estimate of the assumption underlying the title of the article. Dr. Bartlett is president of the Indiana "Council of Religious

Education and a DePauw University professor. He suspects the Christian Century of coining the title rather than Dr. Homrighausen. In support of his criticism of the title, the Indiana Council president points out that religious education is not an institution as is the church but is founded in the methods used by many religious groups, missionary and other service organizations, in preparing worship programs, sermons and the like. In his article, Dr. Homrighausen deals at length with the Sunday School, calling it a laymen's movement, and indicating points of controversy between it and the church. “Persons who identify religious education with the Sunday School are either uninformed or deal loosely with facts,” counters Dr. Bartlett.

Suggests Solution

Dr. T. T. Swearingen of Indianapolis agrees that a religious education problem exists and says that the fact that Dr. Homrighausen has dragged it into the light is a first step toward improvement. Dr. Swearingen is religious education executive secretary for the disciples of Christ nationally. Further steps toward solution of the problem recommended wy Dr. Swearingen are ‘‘the training of ministers and other leadership and B nSetper 4 Shue Ynys ito. basic programs of Christian education.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

Text: Matthew 11:16-30

By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of Advance

precisely the opposite view, Mr. Albertson says: “There is a very genuine effort

on the part of the church and all religious educational agencies to correlate a religious educational program. The church is a religious educational institution in the finest sense.” Has ‘Youth Church’

A demonstration of “oneness” between a church and religious education is being demonstrated at St.

John's Evangelical and Reformed Church by the pastor, the Rev. Ernest A. Piepenbrok. When boys and girls at the age of 14 are beginning to grow restless in Sunday School, the Rev. Mr. Piepenbrok transfers them to a young people's church which he has organized especially to meet their need. They no longer attend Sunday School classes but instead go to their own church service at which grown people are not expected. There the boys and girls hear a sermon which has for its theme the international Sunday School lesson. The Rev. Mr. Piepenbrok reports that parents consider the youth church a success and wish it to continue. It has been organized seven years. Dr. Howard J. Baumgartel, new executive secretary of the Indianapolis Church Federation, received his master’s degree in religious education at the University of Pittsburgh and has been active in the field ever since, both interdenominationally and as a Presbyterian.

Gives His Conclusion

By way of summing up the purpose, scope and development of religious education, Dr. Baumgartel says: “The Christign Church provides for educational growth by means of its environment, activities and con|secrated leaders. This educational | process goes on in the adequate and the inadequate situations of the

Tomorrow ls Bible Sunday

Townsend and Rocsevelt Have Indorsed It.

Both Governor Townsend and President Roosevelt have indorsed the observance of Universal Bible Sunday throughout the nation tomorrow. Governor Townsend said: “I feel that in this troubled work all of us can gain hope and inspiration from the Bible, and prepare for a return to Christian principles the world over. “Surely, a united desire of the masses of the people to live together peacefully and securely as Christians would lead to world harmony.”

Roosevelt Adds Word

The theme chosen by the American Bible Society for tomorrow's celebration is “Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” With that quotation in mind President Roosevelt said in part: “Those of us who believe in the democratic way of life take heart and courage from the fact that the Bible, after centuries of circulation, still holds its place as the world’s best seller. I believe that all of the differences that rend the world today would find speedy solution if men and nations would return in all humility to the plain teaching

of the Sermon on the Mount. There

indeed are the truths that set men free.” One of the newest projects of the Bible Society is the distribution among the blind of Talking Book records on which the New Testament and 12 Old Testament Books have been inscribed. The Talking Book machines are supplied by the United States Government and the Bible records by the State Library here. Texts Are Chosen

Among the special Bible Sunday sermons to be preached in Indianapolis tomorrow ‘is “The Bible and Human Freedom” by the Rev, Virgil D. Ragan, Fairview Presbyterian Church pastor, and “The Truth That Makes Men Free” by the Rev. Florizel A. Pfleiderer, Sutherland Avenue Presbyterian Church pastor. Both the Rev. Ellis W. Hay, First Congregational Church pastor, and Dr. Frederick R. Daries, Zion Evangelical Church pastor, will preach tomorrow on “The Book of Books.”

BRICKER LIFTED INTO PUBLIC EYE BYF.D.R'S SLAP

It Remains to Be Seen if Criticism Hurt or Helped Ohio Governor.

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—President Roosevelt has officially opened the hunting season—the stalking of that game which whirs up from the bushes every four years, in

short, Presidential candidates of the other party. As his first victim he has picked the Governor of Ohio, broad-shoul-dered John W. Bricker, whom he singled out, without naming him, for a lecture on his handling of Ohio’s recently publicized relief problem. Mr. Bricker thus achieves some distinction among his fellow candidates,.and for the moment is lifted temporarily above,them in the public eye. Not that“his name hasn't been mentioned before. It has.

State Also Has Taft

But the Ohio Governor has been, thus far, the professional “dark horse” in the 1940 Republican sweepstakes. Everybody speaks of him as “the man who’s being held back,” “the fellow to watch” in event of a convention deadlock. Governor Bricker assumed the background role, as far as Presidential candidates are concerned, because of a situation which finds Ohio with two possible candidates, the other being Senator Robert A. Taft. To avoid a fight which might black both out of the picture, the two reached an agreement whereby Senator Taft will be accorded Ohio’s delegates to the 1940 convention and, if he fails to catch on, then the Governor can emerge and have his day in the sun before the convention.. President Roosevelt has lifted the Governor out of the background role, held him up, and taken a sock at him.

Ickes Cracks Dewey

Aside from the merits of the Governor’s case, now the subject of sharp controversy, it does not take a professional in politics to discover the political implications of the President’s intervention. It represents an effort to cut down a Republican Presidential prospect. The President’s intervention has made the Ohio Governor a national issue. Whether it will result in killing off his candidacy, or whether it may react to help the Governor as the facts are brought out, remains to be seen.

16,000 in Cleveland Face Dark Sunday

CLEVELAND, Dec. 9 (U. P).— Sixteen thousand underfed relief clients faced a barren week-end today as relief funds were expected to run out Sunday and technicalities plagued the issuance of $1,200,000 in bonds to continue limited food orders. City Council Monday night will be asked to approve the bond issue, which then is expected to be “peddled” to the state, which has not yet said it will buy. Two organizations exhorted the unemployed and jobless to throng the meeting, and Frank Horvach, County Treasurer of the Workers’ Alliance, said that that group would meet Wednesday night “if something is not done by then to solve the relief crisis.”

HUNDREDS TO HONOR FRANK R. BECKWITH

Frank R. Beckwith, lawyer and civic leader, will be honored at a testimonial birthday banquet to be given at the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. Monday evening. Several hundred Negro citizens are expected to attend. Testimonials to the service rendered Indianapolis Negroes by Mr. Beckwith will be given by civic and religious leaders. The Rev. David C. Venerable is secretary of the citizens’ committee sponsoring the banquet. Special mention is to be given to the School Transportation Bill for Negro children which Mr. Beckwith was instrumental in having passed by the 1935 session of the State Assembly. He also is to be honored for his part in the original City Manager League.

That Law Was Never Passed

A 19-YEAR-OLD youth was fined $3 for driving through a safety zone by Judge John L. McNelis in Municipal Court yesterday because the judge had heard his story “too much.” When asked to tell why he drove through the zone at Davidson and Washington Sts, the young man said: “Well, I read in the papers ‘some time ago—.” “That's enough,” Judge McNelis interrupted. “I've heard that too much. Three dollars and costs, costs suspended. “Ever since an attempt was made to pass a law enabling drivers to pass through safety zones to avoid traffic congestion, peopie come up here with that excuse. “That law- was never passed.”

GARNER'S DRIVE T0 START SOON

Friends to Open Campaign For Presidency Next Week; He’s Reticent.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 (U. P.)— Garner-for-President forces prepared today to carry to the nation next week the Vice President’s candidacy for the 1940 Democratic nomination. President Roosevelt remained si-

lent concerning his plans for next year as new advocates of a third term for him appeared among regional Democratic leaders. Vice President John N. Garner, now at his Uvalde, Tex., home, also declined to discuss whether he is available for the Democratic nomination. But his supporters are increasingly more vocal. E. B. Germany, Texas leader, will speak over a nation-wide radio (NBC) network next Thursday on “John Garner and 1940.” Latest to espouse a third-term for Mr. Roosevelt were Rep. William L. Sirovich (D. N. Y.), and M. Michael Edelstein, leader of TamIhany Hall's Eighth Assembly District.

The same number that conceded President Roosevelt a chance to win election again, said there is no Constitutional restriction on a third term in a current events poll conducted by the staff of the Riparian, student newspaper.

FINNISH RELIEF FUND OPEN FOR BUSINESS

NEW YORK, Dec. 9 (U. P.).— Headquarters of the “Finnish Relief Fund, Inc.” was open for business

today under the direction of former President Herbert Hoover. Officials said Americans were responding to the call for help for Finland as they had done in 1914 when the Germans invaded Belgium. Mr. Hoover, following an appeal for contributions through newspapers all over the country, was establishing a Western headquarters for the fund in Los Angeles, and planned to come here next week to take charge of organizing in the East. At a meeting yesterday, fund workers elected Mr. Hoover board chairman; Edgar Rickard, former director of the American Relief Administration, president; Lewis L.
