Asks Schools Teach Bibl

New York Lawyer Urges Church-College Link.

Courses in religion which avoid sectarian dispute and cover the beliefs common to church denominations in America were urged for schools and colleges by Ralph Waldo Gwinn of New York here last night. Mr. Gwinn, a Noblesville, Ind. native, is a writer and lawyer and authority on Christian education. He spoke at the closing session of an all-day state conference on Religion in Indiana Colleges at the First Baptist Church. Edgar H. Evans of Indianapblis presided. Mr. Gwinn said the American Government was founded by a people which tried to adapt Biblical idealism to daily life and that for 250 years, education and religion went hand in hand. “But now religion has become a secularized process, such as has prevailed in Europe for centuries,” he charged. “Now we send the boy's head to school, his body to the gymnasium and his soul to the instead of making religious education part and’ parcel of his daily schooling. “There should be a return to courses in theology and moral philosophy both in our cclleges and lower schools. “But the change from the present regime should bring a more significant alteration: That is a presumption that it is the desire of every student to understand God's nature and God's will, instead of supposing that the student has no interest in these things. God help us as teachers and laymen to develop this interest.”

Madame Chiang Writes to Dean

“We shall continue resisting.” says Mme. Chiang Kai-shek in a personal letter from China to Dean Frederick D. Kershner of the Butler College of Religion. The letter is published in the April Shane Quarterly, Butler College of religion magazine, of which the dean is managing editor. Mme, Chiang declines Dr, Kershner's invitation to become a staff contributor to The Shane Quarterly and says in part: “I fully appreciate the opportunity that would be afforded me to expound China's cause and I know what we miss by my inability to take advantage of the kind offer. . . Our resistance has been going on for over two-and-a-half years now and it imposes a great toll on our strength. But we shall continue resisting.”

ORTHODOX EASTER FESTIVAL SUNDAY

The six-week Lenten fast of the Orthodox churches ends today, Holy Saturday, the day before their Easter. The Rev. Gabriel Salhany, St. George's Syrian Orthodox Church pastor, pointed out today that the Orthodox Easter is always celebrated the first Sunday after the beginning of the Jewish Passover. Passover began Monday sundown. For all other feasts the Orthodox churches follow the old, or Julian, calendar, the Rev, Mr. Salhany said.

‘Month of Mary’ tobe Noted At Cologne-Like St. Mary's

“The Month of Mary,” as May

is called throughout the Catholic in honor of the Virgin Mary in St. here, beginning Wednesday, May 1.

All priests of the Indianapolis Catholic Diocese, including the Rev. Fr. John Scheefer, St. Mary's Church pastor, this week received a letter

bishop, asking that “May, the month of the Blessed Mother,” be consecrated to prayers for peace. Bishop Ritter said his letter was written in response to one from His Holiness, Pope Pius XII, making the same request of all Roman Catholics. The bishop also directed that the pastors hold May devotions in honor of the Virgin. Devotions Traditional Devotions in honor of Mary are traditional at any church which bears her name. Services are held after the 8 a. m. mass each morning and after 3 p. m. devotions on Sundays and holy days, twice year-ly—-in October and in May—at St. Mary's .Church, 317 N.

cate, cross-surmounted spires and pointed arches above

“a perfect specimen of Gothic arFather Scheefers also spoke of it as being modeled after the Cathedral of Cologne and recalled this story of its design: Hermann Gaul, a native of Cologne and one-time resident of Indianapolis, now of Chicago, was befriended by the Rev. Fr. Anthony Scheideler, then the “old” St. Mary's pastor. As an expression of appreciation, Mr. Gaul, an architect, drew the plans of the new church, naturally putting into them the beauty of the cathedral he had known and loved in his fatherland. On these plans the present church was built in 1912. The old church on Maryland between Pennsylvania and Delaware Sts. was erected in 1856, becoming the second Catholic church here. St. John’s Church at Capitol and Georgia, built in 1840, was the first. Tablet Honors Pastor

Father Séheideler was pastor of the old church for 38 years and of the present one until his death in 1918. A bronze tablet in the church bears his likeness and is a memorial to his 44-year pastorate. He was preceded by fhe Rev. Fr. Simon Sigrist and succeeded by Father Scheefers. Ten very large stained glass windows, imported from Munich, almost fill the side walls of the church. They are perhaps the church's greatest treasures and relate the chief episodes in the life of Christ. The one showing the mystery of the crowning of the Virgin is of particular significance this month, for it is part of the usual May ceremonies in schools and churches for children and young people to march in procession and crown the statue of the Virgin Mary with wreaths and garlands of flowers. The old carved altars, probably built in Germany, much of the statuary and the pews brought from the original church, are still in use. The organ from the old church was destroyed by fire about four years ago. Steffen Directs Music

Elmer Steffen, now in charge of diocesan music and conductor of the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir, was brought up in the church and first sang in public as a small boy in the choir of St. Mary's grade school. The grade school has been discontinued but Mr. Steffen, who conducted a choir and orchestra in the church for the first time at the age of 17, was last year named a Knight of St. Gregory by His Holiness for his contribution to church music. Other Indianapolis names which have remained on the church roll through the years are “Rink,” “Wernsing,” “Langsenkamp,” “Eyman,” “Ittenbach” and “Guedelhoefer.” In the early days, nearly all the membership was German and sermons were preached in that language but as the German element ceased to predominate, the services began to be entirely English.

Hold Perpetual Novena

A perpetual novena in honor of the Virgin under her title, “The Sorrowful Mother,” is one of the newest services of the church. It was inaugurated two years ago and permanent medallions installed between the Stations of the Cross to mark the novena stations. The Rev. Fr. Leo Schaefer is assistant pastor, and Sister "Leonette, superior, and other Franciscan nuns are in charge of St. Mary's Acade-
