‘■The l'ni,|uenes.s of the Christian Mossage,” was the subject of an inj -piring, and challenging address of I Dr. C D. Hildebrand, professor of philosophy in D'T’aiuv university. Persons, and what happens to them, is the chi a concern of Christianity, j sai 1 Dr. Hildebrand. No civilization j has -urvhed -where the motivation was the acquisition of things. He further declared that our country must substitute for her pagan spirit a quest of -piritual values, or our nation will go the r ad of other material civiliza-

tions.

Others who appeared on the program were, Rev. Claude Young, superintendent of thn Lafayette district: Dr. H. L. Davis of Indianapolis; Dr. W. S. Sharp, who spoke for the Woman’s Home Missionary society, and Dr C. P. Hargrave, director of the department of missionary education of the Methodist church. A resolution was presented to the conference by Dr. George E. Francis, of Terre Haute, which was unanimously passed, endorsing the present administration <>f DePauw university and deploring the pernicious nagging of certain newspapers and puitrmtic organizations. The resolution was a follows: WhentjiS, we appraise D< 1’auw university as an asset of incalculable value to the Christian church, :n^| Whereas, the influence of the univnrsity in molding public opinion in the direction of the Christianization of our country was never as great as

now, and

Whereas, the record of PcPauw’s progress as a Christian -at of learnI ing under the pres nt administration

Be it resolved, that * . the di-trict i conference of the Greeiicastle district of the Northwest Indiana Conference of the Methodist Epi copal church, in ii ion April 23, 1934, d- pledge anew our loyalty to DePauw university, and our entire confidence in the administration of the university(2) That we deplore tin- attacks

EMM.Y ADJOURNMENT OBJECT! \ir Mail Sto'h Market Regulation and Regular Appropriation Hilla Out of W ay WASHINGTON, April 24, (UP)Congress has put on such a burst of speed since President Roosevelt's return from Florida that hopes for an qarly .adjournment, like the spring flowers which border the capitol lawns, are blooming again The situation today showed the tax hill well on the i ad toward enactment- the contro\er-ial airmail and stock market bills with apparently clear sailing ahead, practically* all major appropriation measures out of

the way.

There remaineil the president’s tariff and relief program-. The former, already aproved by the house, will be brought before the senate early enough -o that even most protracted debate should be concluded late in May or early in June. The combination of Mr. Roosevelt’s return, spring weather and its traditional reaction apon human marts, and the need for political fence mending back home brought " the speeding-up process. Developments showing thi- new spirit include: The determination to wind up conferences on the tax bill after Wednesday, and the confidence of loaders that this measure and its difficult problems can lie worked out satis-

factorily.

Announcement of Chairman Pat Harrison of the senate finance committee that hearings would begin Thursday on tlnj Roosevelt-Hull reciprocal tariff program, and that the hearings would be brief. Limitation of debate on the airmail bill, now liefore the senate, together with i relorated house action on this matter. Conclusion of committee work on the senate bill for stock market reg-
