LIBBY, ADDRESSING FRIENDS, POINTS OUT. LATTER DAY NEEDS
"Our generation needs to rediscover Christ," said rrederick J. Libby. in the second, of. bis 'series or seven lectures before the Young Friend conference at Earlham Monday. "W shall never move mountains in the strength of our fathers' faith r we must' have our own. ... David cannot win ".victory In Saul's army. . As one brought up in the orthodox church and 'about to become a member of the socalled orthodox branch of Friends, I have no quarrel with the orthodox. The tradition that has been handed down to. us as a precious heritage by our .fathers cannot lightly be thrown aside; by us. . : : Orthodoxy is Peril

INDIANA WILL HOLD NEW HEARING ON SALE OF FINANCE CORPORATION STOCK
(By Associated Press) 1 INDIANAPOLIS. July 25. A rehearing of the petition of the Farmers Finance corporation, a Delaware corporation to sell stock in Indiana, probably will be held by the Indiana securities 1 commission, Ed Jackson, secretary of state, and a member of the commission, said today. Mr. Jackson said John G. Brown, president of the Indiana Federation of Farmers association has arranged for a conference. with him relative to the commission's refusal to authorize the corporation to operate in Indiana, but that before the commission's attitude could be changed it would be necessary to have a rehearing. The hearing, he said, would have to be held before the entire commission.

As. soon as beliefs crystallze into a system, they cease to grow, which means that they lose their life. "Religion is not a matter of intellectual beliefs, but of the spiritual. "The fruits of the spirit are love, joy and peace, and if we find that we are
not bearing these fruits though we be orthodox of the orthodox, we have lost

An Indiana law does not permit com

the voting, at least as so far provided, has been sold to the 21 regional direc
tors, and thus far mostly remains un-
paid for, is the claim. . With reference to this fact, one man, who has dug into the matter, says: "It is understood that the 'action of the securities commission in denying a license was decided largely because of its feeling that the Interests of the purchasers of preferred stock in the corporation could not properly be conserved. It is believed Article 4 of the bylaws of the Farmers Finance Corporation contains the provisions which greatly influenced the commission. This article provides that the affairs of the corporation shall be managed by its directors, who shall be subscribers for preferred stock. It is understood that only holders of common stock have voting power and there
fore have a voice in selection of directors. It is believed Article 4 makes it possible for the directors to re-elect
themselves Indefinitely. Officers Salaries Omitted
The blank spaces for the writing In of the salaries to be paid officers were
not filled in, and this fact evidently did not suit the commission and prob
ably was one factor influencing their
decision,

The Finance Corporation of the United States Grain Growers, Inc., recently filed application at Indianapolis for license to operate in Indiana with the object of selling $750,000 worth of preferred stock in this state. The Farmers' Finance corporation was chartered in Delaware as a $100,000000 preferred stock corporation to handle the money end of the Grain Growers, a non-stock and non-profit combination, organized to pool and handle the farmers' grain, direct from the farm and the co-operative elevators of the country. The Indiana securities commission has so far declined to issue the license asked for. John G. Brown, of Monon, advised on last Saturday that he

Against War Forces "If your God is the Father of Jesus Chfist, you will not be misled by the war gods who ruled the nations during the last few years. The God who is revealed In Jesus Christ is love to the uttermost, love that'concern3 Himself with each individual soul, love that searches the mountain side for one abeep that has gone astray, love that Is crucified rather than do an Injury to an enemy that seeks His life. Faith in Christ, whether, orthodox or unorthodox, it seems to me, should show results somewhat like these in the lives of believers." Ruth Hoskins, of Indianapolis, "and Edith Meredith, of Mooreland, led the young people's meeting Sunday evening. "The Greatest Task for Young Friends Today" wa3 the subject of the meeting.

tered about the proposition for Friends to organize a disarmament council to j work among all people, whether Friends or not. j Frederick Libby stated at the forum that he believed fully nine-tenths of the people of the world were ready and anxious for a disarmament pro
