How Nazi Air

Ace Fights

Hauptmann Wieck, one of Germany’s crack fighter pilots, uses his hands to explain to fellow fliers how he attacked and downed a British plane. The picture was passed by the German censor.

The “door bell ringer” is an outmoded minister, Dr. John Rustin, pastor of the Mt. Vernon Place Methodist Church, Washington, D. C., today told a ministers’ meeting of the National Christian Mission. “We should make it possible for people to see us rather than trying to see all of them,” he told the delegates to the Mission, which will continue through Sunday. + “I personally feel that we Protestants have lost quite a bit in not having a confessional,” Dr. Rustin said. “We may not call it that, but we certainly do need some place where our people can find their minister . . . ready and willing to listen to the heartaches, problems, despairs, disappointments and the joys, too, of our congregations.” Other methods Dr. Rustin outlined of “getting close to congregations” included youth meetings, visitation councils and even bowling leagues.

‘Must Be Shepherd of People’

“We may not be able to spend, as our fathers did, as many nights in the homes of our people or eat as many meals, but I still feel that the minister must be a shepherd of of his people if he is going to get close to the hearts of his constituents.” Achievement of spiritual power is a direct result of four elements— decision, daily prayer, human service and moral discipline—Dr. James S. Chubb, pastor of the : First Methodist Church at Baldwin, Kas., said this morning at Indiana Central College. “The local church is the most valuable institution for expressing and producing spiritual life. It needs leadership and it needs solid religious living. The man who woould have the real thing will find a real opportunity for service and activity in the local church,” he said. Addresses Teachers

Speaking yesterday at a meeting of Indianapolis teachers at Shortridge High School, Dr. Ralph W. Sockman, pastor of Christ, Methodist Church, New York, urged a complete rather than “piece meal” study of the Bible. He divided the study of the Bible

LABOR TRAINING FOR DEFENSE IS FAVORED

Labor training by industry for national defense was discussed yesterday at the Indianapolis Athletic Club by Walter Dietz, Western Electric Co., personnel divector of New

the National Defense Advisory Commission. Metal trade industry representatives and personnel directors attended the meeting, which was sponsored by the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce and was held after the monthly meeting of the board of directors. Mr. Dietz commended DeWitt S.

initiating an industrial training program in Indianapolis. He said that only by co-operation of industries and schools and colleges

tion he attained.

"Valentino Ring' Still a Mystery

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 15 (U. P.). —The owner of a strange wedding ring, inscribed “Rudolph “Valentino, 1924,” claimed it today from $75,000 “worth of loot taken by Gordon Phillips, who was shot to death while entering a home. Bev Barnett, film publicity man, claimed the ring at the police roperty room, but its origin rePop a mystery. Mr, Barnett told police that Actress Rochelle Hudson had given it to him a year ago. He said she found it near “Falcon Lair,” the mansion once occupied by Mrs. Valentino. Miss Hudson advertised that she had found the ring, but nobody claimed it, so she gave it to Mr, Barnett. The publicity man said his home was burglarized last June and a radio, some cash and the ring taken.

into four parts—the stage of the scape-goat in which men tried [to deliver themselves from evil by placing the blame on someone else; the stage where each man paid for his own sin} the stage where men sought deliverance by the strong bearing more than the weak, and the final stage where God suffered to deliver the world from evil, “If we would build a better family life, we must also build a more secure social and economic order,” Dr. Edwin T. Dahlberg, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Syracuse, N. Y,, told a mass meeting last night at the North Methodist Church.

Sees Need for World Policy

“A father and mother with two or three children may think their home is a little bit of the Kingdom of God, but all the time the civilization beneath them may be moving backward like an ice flow carrying an explorer away from the pole toward which he is journeying. | It is not enough, therefore, to build a sweet and contented little household which is indifferent to the fate of the rest of the world. “Nothing short of a world-wide enthronement of God as the universal father of mankind can ultimately restore the beauty and security of the family,” he said: “Church finances must come to your altar and be converted to make it religiously effective,” Dr. Albert W. Beaven, president of Col-gate-Rochester Divinity School, Rochester, N. Y., said yesterday during a seminar.

Frowns on ‘Shaming’ Method

“If we take money away [from people by shaming them, by driving them or by scaring them, we are ecclesiastical holdup men. ‘They soon leave the church or resent it and in many ways it stops their growth religiously.” The only purpose of a state |is to serve the interest of the people who compose it, Judge Ernest Millington of Cadillac, Mich., president of the Northern Baptist convention, told Marion Sonny Court House Employees yesterday. To do this, he said, it must be motivated by the spirit of religion. The Youth Mission will take over this week-end, starting with a mass meeting at 7:30 o'clock this evening. E. G. Homrighausen, Princeton, N. J., will be the speaker. Tomorrow's program will be in three sections: high school, college and young people, and young adults.
