most faithful “pillars of the church” who would prefer to slow down rather than accelerate the pace of social change. “The pastor who works within the context of a local church, in conscience sharing the position of the impatient social activist, J yet feeling a responsibility to keep in contact with the people of his church, feels increasingly trapped into an untenable position,” the Rev. Mr. Brooke told the congregation. “If he acts wholeheartedly in terms of his conscience, he knows he will alienate — and thereby be cut off from — persons who have many needs which he would otherwise be in a position to help meet.” But if he keeps silent about the disturbing social issues on which he holds strong convictions, he “feels very guilty.” Many pastors, he said, try to compromise by speaking their convictions in a "prudent way” and by balancing forthright public actions on social issues with periods of "more traditional, acceptable pursuits." The Rev. Mr. Brooke said he has tried the “fence-sitting alternative of compromise” and finds it “the most intolerable position of all.” So what’s left? Should he start speaking his mind regardless of how many toes he tramples, or should he quietly leave the parish ministry for some other kind of work—as hundreds of young pastors are doing every year. The Rev. Mr. Brooke asked his congregation to do a little soul-searching of its own, and decide what they want him to do. The issue is rarely presented to a congregation so clearly and candidly. But it exists, and is growing more serious daily, In countless local churches across America.

WGRE says "thanks" to Greeneastle businessmen

“Greencastle’s only non-profit sports broadcasting radio station” is a claim WGRE can make thanks to the generosity of Greeneastle b u s i n e s smen. WGRE is owmed by DePauw University and operated by students, upon contributions in order to pay the costs of sports casting. While WGRE complete broadcasts range from the latest news to the best in classical music, each game broadcast Is made possible through private donations. WGRE covers all DePauw home athletic events and a majority of away games. The reason WGRE Is not able to cover all away games is because it lacks the funds to do so. But this year thanks to Jonathan Houck of Houck’s Music, Frank Cancilla of Nunzio’s Pizza Den, Dale K. Teaford, the President of the Central National Bank, Burglars steal watches, gems SOUTH BEND, Ind. UPI— Burglars broke open a safe in a jewelry store in the process of going out of business and took $100,000 worth of watches and gems, including three diamonds the owner said were 8V2 carats each. The burglary occurred during the weekend in the Jacobs Jewelry Store in downtown South Bend. A cleaning woman discovered it Monday morning. Stanley Jacobs, operator of the store, said the three big diamonds were valued at about $19,000 each. In addition, about 100 expensive watches were taken. They and the diamonds were in a large safe which had been broken open. Police investigating the theft said they believed at least three men were involved. The burglars got into the building by climbing a fire escape and breaking into a club on the second floor above the store. They chopped a hole in the floor and false ceiling to reach the jeweler’s. Evidence indicated an accomplice was stationed as a lookout at the club and drank rum and beer while his companions worked on the safe. A quantity of burglary equipment was left behind, and offi-, cers investigated a plastic putty type of material to determine if it is an explosive. Jacobs said he was not certain whether the entire loss was covered by insurance. A going out of business sale started last Tuesday. Three previous burglaries at the store this year netted only $2,000 worth of loot, police said.
