Dr. Elliott
Sails Today
First Friends Pastor = Will "Visit About Europe.
Dr. Erroll T. Elliott of Indianap-|
olis sails: today for Europe’ to visit Quakers, or Friends, who embraced the faith because of relief and rehakilitation work with which he helped during the World War of 1914-1918. In discussing his plans just before his departure this week, Dr. Elliott said it would not be fair to the American Friends Service Committee whom he will represent to disclose his itinerary but disposed of it by saying he would “visit about Europe.” Dr. Elliott is pastor of the First Friends Church and president of the Indianapolis Ministerial Association. He is accompanied on the trip by Raymond Wilson, a secretary of the Service Committee. Dr. Elliott was one of the young Quaker conscientious objectors to the World War who helped organize the American Friends Service Committee to “demonstrate peace as a way of life by working constructively in the very midst of the destruction of war.” : “Using money supplied by Americans and British, Dr. Elliott and others replaced some of the agricultural machinery and horses destroyed in the war in France. Dr. Elliott himself drove a plow as part of the program to reclaim French farm lands and villages. Quakers also drove ambulances and fed hungry children in the Friends’ Centers established all over = |Europe and still open. No attempt to “proselyte” the people was made but many embraced the Friends’ faith on their own initiative. It is these groups that Dr. Elliott will visit.
Institute on Missions Set
3-Day Meeting to | Open Here April 29.
Three national conventions which have met here this year have prepared the way for the Indianapolis Missionary Education Institute April 29 and 30 and May 1 in the Third Christian Church. They were the conventions of the Missionary Education Movement which under its name, the Friend-
a |ship Press, has published the texts
which will be used in the institute, the Home Missions Council and the Council of Women for Home [Missions, whose speakers discussed the institute home missions topic, “Shifting Populations,” while here. The foreign mission topic of the institute is “China.” Several who attended the conventions here are -authors of books to be studied during the institute. Dr. Mark A. Dawber, executive secretary of the Home Missions Council who:has been a frequent visitor to Indianapolis and who presided at mass meetings and round tables in January, wrote the text, “Ministering to Shifting Populations.” Miss Edith E. Lowry, executive secretary of the Council of Women for Home Missions, alsc a guest here last winter, has recorded the results of her study of the moving thousands in “They Starve That We May Eat.” Among the institute study books listed for young people is “Move on Youth” by Otto Nall. It describes young men and women seeking jobs, on the move, the efforts of churches to keep pace with them and the ways in which the youth of the churches can help with the problem. How an Oklahoma family was driven from its farm home by drought, forced to earn its living hy picking fruits and vegetables, but
finding comfort in church migrant
centers is the story of the juvenile text, “Children of the Harvest” by Gertrude Chandler Warner. Chief among the books on China used ‘at the institute will be “Dangerous Opportunity” by Earle A. Ballou, recommended for both youths and adults; “Stand By for China” by Gordon Poteat, for young people, and “Bright Sky Tomorrow” by Mary Brewster Hollister, for chil-

Mr. and Mrs. Gert Iverson
A 100-year-old Bible in Norwegian and a sprig of evergreen are Gert Iverson’s visible links with family worship with brothers and sisters in Norway. But as Kristiansand was bombed this week and Bergen captured, Mr. Iverson became concerned over the fate of a brother at Kristiansand and a brother and three sisters near Bergen, where the family grew up. - Mr. and Mrs. Iverson visited Norway three years ago.
: 3 Times Photo. + « + Worried over war news.
The Bible was well-worn when Mr. Iverson first remembers having heard his grandfather reading it. Ten years ago, when his mother died in Norway, the Bible passed to him as the oldest son. Mrs. Iverson was an Indianapolis native. She was a wi
terian and her husband a Luth‘eran; they “compromised” their | religious difference by joining the Irvington Methodist Church. |

toward those who seek His ways and turn from evil. The prophet who emphasizes this side 'of truth is more likely to have in his utterances the note of appeal, the invitation to man to seek this God of love and righteousness and find the fullness of His mercy. ” ” ” AMOS, of course, stressed this side as well. The whole purpose of his arraignment of the society of his day was to turn men from their evil ways and to build up a true society. But in Hosea, it is this note of appeal that is uppermost. His message is God's forgiving love. It concerns the " God whose right'ousness rebukes sin, but whose love restores and heals. ; Like Amos, Hosea represents this God as desiring goodness and not sacrifice. The knowledge of Him is more than burnt offerings. Even in the formal observance of religion, without the reality of good characters and deeds, Hosea sees the back-sliding of the people whom God had chosen. But God will heal the ' backsliding. He loves them freely, and his yearning that they should return to Him is greater|g; than His anger. This is a high point in the progress of Old Testament teaching concerning God. From the idea of vengeance—“an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth”—we are progressing toward the idea that will find its full expression in the New Testament—the message that it is only through good that evil can really be overcome and that only

"Such prophets are necessary, but there is another aspect of. truth. It concerns the mercy of God, who is full of kindness and forgiveness
love and grace can bring salvation from sin.
AS THE WAY of selfishness and sin is the way of folly, so the way of return to God, the acceptance of His mercy, and the dependence upon His power to uphold and save, is the way of wisdom. “Who is wise,” said Hosea, “that he may understand these things? prudent, that he may know them? for the ways of Jehovah are right, and the just shall walk in them; but trans.gressors shall fall therein.” Surely, just as the words = of Amos have such keen and forceful application to our own time, so these words of Hosea come to men and- women in a modern society, many of whom have wandered away from God, and who will find peace

Mr. Wright that “if a total war should break out this spring, Germany would have a dangerous advantage” in the air. “Germany now has approximately 29,000 airplanes, while the Allies have slightly less than 22,000. If real war begins this spring I estimate that each side will lose about 25 per cent of its total air strength each month. With the loss per month at this figure, Germany would have a great advantage during the latter part of the year.” It also is reported by Mr. Wright that in monthly delivery of airplanes, France and England over took Germany about January. a Wright is senior engineering officer of the Curtiss Wright Corp., largest airplane. manufacturer in the country.
