CALUMET DISTRICT COUNCIL OF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

CENTRAL POINTS IN EUROPEAN WAR CRISIS Double Stamps Every Morning

KAUF

AUFMANN & WOLF

During the winter of 1919 the Calumet District Federation of churches considered some of the grave social problem of the district and decided that a religious educational program on a community basis would alone be able to cope in any adequate way with the problems involved.

Some of the causes which lay back

of the organization or a body to develop the religious educational, program were: 1. The district is industrial and has attracted a polyglot population. The density of certain groups of European tends towards a continuity of many undesirable European ideals. A very large percentage of these people receive no formal religious instruction. Throughout the district the public educational requirement make for an intelligent citizenship while the present religious educational situation tends toward a condition under which more than 50 per cent of the whole population will be religious illiterates. 2. Democracy presupposes intelligence and morality. Without them autocracy flourishes but lacking one of them democracy can not live. The change from autocracy to democracy requires a transition within the life of the individual from external authority to an inner control which requires intelligence and religion. 3. The war left many people with the belief that the church had failed. Many church men how'ever felt that on the contrary, the church had not failed for the religion, whose representatives they were, had not been tried. 4. The horrors and tragedies of the war led to many hopes of a new day after the war. The church faced the new day with the courage and determination and resolved that by the grace of God religion would be given a trial. 5. Religion has been receiving in recent years an increasingly social interpretation. Men have thought that true religion must express itself in ways which make for community well being. The Father who knows the sparrows fall is also interested in conditions for his sons and daughters which make possible something of happiness. But religion can function only through lives, and when the majority in a community are ignorant of even the rudiments of religion it is evident that religion cannot hope to modify the whole of the social group. Religion being social. Involves an interest in health, housing, parks, recreation.

both commercial and free, government, etc. Only as a considerable percentage of the 'whole group are motivated with religious ideals can religion function adequately. The very genius of religion la its ability to minister to folk to the end that they may have happiness. They are either happy in their social relationships or they are not 'happy any-

where. 6. Fellowship with God is one of the richest experiences possible to an individual. Religion owes as nearly as it can be developed, a religious experience to every indi-vidual. 7. Recent studies in psychology have made it increasingly evident that childhood is the best time to learn. Therefore a religious educational program for childhood would seem to be the very ties approach to to the solution of some of these pro-grams. 8. The newer interpretation of salvation. For a long period the church has thought of her task as reclamatory. Now the church is coming to think of normal salvation as the condition under which, a child never knows estrangement from God. To prevent the need of salvage is being thought of as the greatest task confronting the church. 9. The Sunday 'School is being recognized as inadequate not only in point of time available, but in program, and personnel to cope with the stupendous problems of religious education. An organization which will correlate with the Sunday School and the other religious education agencies already at work was demanded. The Calumet District Federation initiated the movement which, resulted in the organization of the Calumet District Council of Religious Education. This is an organization formed by the local committees from East Chicago, Indiana Harbor, Whiting and Hammond electing delegates to a district organization. The council conducts week day classes before and after school for 2,700 children, under a group of 72 teachers all of whom are paid. Attendance is voluntary, no child being permitted to attend without the written consent of his parents. The instruction Is non-denominational. The program has frequently been spoken of as one of the most significant Americanization programs in the United States.

EXPERT ON FAR EAST

SITUATION

An interesting statement on the situation in Europe and the critical status in the Far East has been prepared by Judge W. A. Fuzy of East Chicago as follows: France's policy and determination to prevent for all time a recurring of the 1914 attack by Germany and to m***ial *** exalted position over the destinies of Europe granted her by the treaty of Versailles, has completely turned her head; The attempt of France to secure for herself the rich mineral deposits and mines of not only the Saar Basin, but her encouragement and later her treaties with Poland and Checho-Slovakla demanding the acquisition to said countries of the other rich mines in Silesia, without which said mine Germany would be forever impotent in her present geographical position. in the field of manufacture of iron eteel, etc. are the direct causes of the present Far Eastern crises. France has from the very beginning of the peace treaty known that her demands for the payments of her indeminty could not be met, yet to obtain the above fields, the coveted mines, she has steadfastly stuck to the payments of the reparations, trusting that under the enforcement

pretext she would be allowed to grasp the said mines for herself and allies, viz: Checho-Slovakla and Poland, opposed however by Great Britain and Italy in her said attempts she flirted with Jugo Slavla and later with Mustapha Kemal. With the former country she hoped to bring sufficient pressure to bear upon Italy, to force Italy's hand, namely, she encouraged Jugo Slavia to make claims upon territory coveted by Italy on the Adriatic, and encouraged Kemal to strike for the redemption of the occupied territories held by the Greeks, for whom France does; not bear any great love, having not forgotten the indifference. and pro-Germanism of King Constantine, and being aided by the elicitations and the approval of the Jugo Slavs, who now turned with covetous eyes to the Aegean Sea and the port of Saloniki, trusting and hoping that Mustapha Kemail would dream of retaking Constantinople to the pointing of which langer she could compel Great Britain to acquiesce in her demands upon Germany, but France has underated the strength of Kemal with his well equipped force who have within the last few days inflicted Total wounds In the existence of Greece as a power. The Turks coming to a realization of their strength have net only attained to where the French would have them, but have overstepped the limit set for them by France and will with the help of the Bolsheviks cross the straits, unless France completely reverses her policies,, as a recapture to the Turks of Constantinople would not be to the liking of France, whose

diplomacy was only the creation of a

Will Mustapha Kemal Pasha, outlaw leader of the war-mad Turkish Nationalists, attempt to carry out his threat to cross the Bosphorus, take Constantinople and then all of Thrace.? Another

war which would soon involve all of Europe is seen if he tries to carry out his plans. The Turkish triumphs in Asia Minor have already brought on international complications. France and Great

danger and not the danger itself, as she is not in the position of widening the gap that has formed between herself and the rest of the Allies, for getting however the treaty of Lenine and Kemal to come to one anothers aid. To more complicate matters the Jugo Slavs, creatures of the French policy, not having gained the coveted teritory now held by Italy are now demanding a part of Thrace with the harbor of Saloniki as their price in their entrance to stop the Turk. The French would willingly agree that Jugo Slavia should get Salonikl, would it not be for the fact that Italy would resist the same to her utmost and the gap would e further bridged, she can not consent and at the same time be unmindful of the hatred In the back ground in the breasts of Germany.

Jugo Slavia and Roumania can well be called upon to transport its troops to Thrace, but Cheeho Slovakia will be unable to send troops, on account of its geographical position unless she violates the neutrality of either Austria or Hungary, causing the repetition of the crises of 1914, as it is certain that Hungary will not only resist but is now marking time and that upon the first opportunity will see her equipped and ready army maike a supreme effort for the recapture of her lost and sacred borders. Should France adhere to her weak policy the world will again be thrown into misery and death, with the Great United States again becoming the hope an' trust of all mankind.

As a reward for being a good boy. Mrs. Levinski took little Sammie to the new opera house which had recently become a brilliant addition to the small town. As the celebrated soprani began to sing little Sammie became greatly excited over the gesticulations of the orchestra conductor.

"What's that man shakin' his

stick at her for?" he demanded indignantly. "Sh-h! He's not shaking his stick at her." But Sammie was not convinced.

A young and energetic executive took hold of a fine old retafl business in New York. ""What this business needs," he told himself, "is a place in the mind of the public." And deliberately he set out to sacrifice the greater volume of his profits and invest the sacrifice into the building of goodwill. He did. And to this old business, advertising was the breath of .life.

For six months had not passed before the business had grown so that the advertising cost was a smaller percentage than ever it had been, and, because of a larger volume, the shop effected economies and gave far superior service. That was five years ago. Today a certain percentage is spent, or supposed to be spent, for advertising. But as fast as the appropriation is spent, the more the' business increases; and the more that the business increases, the smaller percentage becomes.
