the congregation. Vestrymen are John Hollett, senior warden; John W. Holtzman, junior warden; Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan, Scott Clifford, Omer S. Hunt,. J. K. Grubb, C. R. Miller, William Turner and former Judge James A. Collins. The Rev. William Burows, rector, says the congregation has not outgrown the old church but that most of his parishoners live north of 38th St. and since Christ Church is - on the Circle, it is logical for St. Paul's to move northward.
Erected in 1867
The church proper, erected in 1867, just two years after the close of ‘the Civil War, has remained unchanged, although the adjoining chapel burned in 1896 and was replaced by the present parish house. The Rev. Mr. Burrows believes the new St. Paul's will take “shape around” the 15 stained glass windows imported from Italy and in-
. stalled when the church was built]
But as yet no architect has been
engaged and no drawings of the future church made, he says. ~The windows are considered irreplaceable art treasures. Three directly over the altar depict “The Nativity,” “The Crucifixion” and “The Resurrection,” while six on each side of them carry full length figures of the Apostles. ° :
Candlesticks Prized
Century-old hWrass candlesticks from Mexico and a small Italian altar are also among the prized possessions which will have places of honor in the new church. The candlesticks, which stand on the main altar, were given to St. Paul's ‘by Mr. Hunt as a memorial to his family while the small altar is in the parish house chapel. St. Paul's was served for nearly half its life by Dr. Lewis Brown, rector for 30 years and rector emeritus for the five years preceding his death last November.

East Side. He is the new president of the East Side Council of Churches which includes 10 congregations. The membership of the Woodruff Place Church had remained around 100 for about 44 years when it suddenly began to increase in 1936 and continued until an addition to the building became necessary two years ago. The enlarged quarters were promptly outgrown and will be supplemented in 1940 either by converting the personage next door into an educational building or by constructing another addition to the church, the official board has decided. Read Braille Lesson
Young people are the majority of the present membership of 300, according to the Rev. Mr. Ball. One of the young people of the church, Miss Florence Daniels, made the first of the lectures by which she paid for her seeing-eye dog at the Woodruff Place Church. She also assisted the pastor by reading the Sunday morning Scripture lesson from her Braille Bible, Miss Daniels, a former Butler University student, is now being supported at Stirling College, Stirling, Kas., by the church’s young people. Stirling is the Rev. Mr. Bali’s alma mater. Mrs. Margaret Perry, 97, who lives just one block from the church is a charter member, Mrs. Perry was a regular attendant until about two years ago when she was injured in an accident. »
Rev. Ball Third Pastor
“A tradition of deep spirituality has been preserved throughout the life of the church,” Mrs. Ralph J. Hudelson, former member for 23 years, said today. She spoke also of the lively concern for others and the disposition to share which characterizes the congregation. Mrs. Hudelson is a one-time vice president of the National Council of Churchwomen and former president of both the Indianapolis and Indiana Councils. The Rev. Mr. Ball is an athlete, manager of his church baseball and softball teams and a brother of the Technical High School football coach, R. L. Ball. The pastor was

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Text: Genesis 1:27-31; | Corinthians 6:19, 20; Il Corinthians 6:16.7:1.
By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of Advance : IN A DAY WHEN MEN, women and children are being slaughtered by the thousands, and even by the
millions, and when nations that ought to have absorbed Christian teaching and practice are at war, a skeptic might be ironical about a Sunday School lesson on “Holding Life Sacred.” But this very situation of war and violence today makes it all the more necessary that Christians should not lose their faith or their vision, and that we should put all the more emphasis upon the Christian teachjhe concerning the sacredness of e. It is fitting that for a lesson like
this we should go back to the
earliest book of the Bible, for there, in these earliest records of religion among the Hebrew people is set
cerning the sacredness of human life and also great teaching concerning war and peace and the means of achieving peace, as found in the story of Abraham and Lot. The portion from G®nesis taken for our lesson emphasizes, perhaps, the general glory of God's creation —the sacredness of man as made in God’s image and likeness—and it is fitting that we should put this fact ahead of all.
” » » : BUT ONE WOULD LIKE to enforce this lesson with the story of Cain and Abel that so soon fole Genisis record, for there teachin
down the profound teaching con-
cerning man and the sacredness of life, but the emphasis upon tragedy of loss and the impossibility of. restoring what was lost. It is true that often we do not realize the worth of things until we have lost them, and Cain did not realize the full horror of what he had done until he realized that he had killed a brother, a man like himself, made in God’s image, The marvel is that, with such clear teaching, thus enforced by examples, going so far back in the history of the race, the business of murder and killing should go on even in this Twentieth Century. How can we stop this terrible thing and turn the hearts of men from violence to peace and love? Is there any way of hoping to do this until we can bring to men above all things a new sense of the sacredness of their own lives? There are also ways of killing and injuring people that have little to do with violence on battlefields. There are evil trades, evil habits, evil things carried on for greed and profit, that injure the bodies of men just as much as if they were wounded in war. And these things, also, too often injure and destroy the soul.

13 DIE FLEEING TORPEDOED SHIP
Hunger, Madness Take Toll Of Survivors Crowded Into Lifeboat.
* DUBLIN, Feb. 3 (U. P.).—Survivors of the Greek steamer Eleni Statathos told today of drifting from their torpedoed ship in an overcrowded lifeboat,’ and of four days and nights of hunger and madness which killed 13 of their companions
| before they reached shore.
Michael Ryan, able seaman, now recovering in a hospital, said the ship was attacked Sunday morning. There was a violent explosion, he said, and later a second explosion blew the ship out of the water, inJjuring the captain, chief officer and wireless operator with flying splinters. : “Then we wasted no time getting into the boats,” he said. Ryan and five others were in one ba), the other 27 men in the second at.
“We heard shouts for help from the second boat, pulled back and found it swamped. It had drifted over the propeller and had been cut in two.” a : “All were rescued from the second second boat. There were 33 men crowded into the one boat. Provisions ran out Monday. “Tuesday was simply too awful to think about,” Ryan said. “The insanitary state of the boat added to our troubles. That night two men went mad and died. They were slipped overboard. All the men were Greeks. The younger ones couldn’t stand the strain. The first deaths had a shocking effect on them. Wednesday morning we found two or three more dead. During the day, two more died. Another two died Wednesday night.”
