CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
Our Fellowship-Psalm cxxxiii, 1-3-I
Cor. xii, 1927.

Julian Hawthorne, the distinguished novelist,
wrote not long ago: IF the Christian En-
deavor Society had done nothing else than abate
sectarian prejudice it would have deserved to
exist" favorite among Christian Endeavor
texts. repeated over and over in our conven-
tions. is this from the words of Lord: ''One
is your Master, even Christ, and all We are
brethren" In thousands OF society
is the only visible bond uniting the Christians
of the community. For the last decade. GER
tainly, the leading force conducting the denomi-
nations toward Christian union has been our
society.
Christian union. / say. meaning by it just the
kind of organic union that Paul outlined in his
mastery comparison, study this week-the
symbol of the many organs in the one body.
Just as those organs-eye, hand heart. feet-are
in organic union with another, so the
churches must get into organic union with one
another hand a foot cut of from the
body, would gain advantage from the fact
that both made of flesh and blood. There
is ample diversity in the body. No two denomi-
nations different the eye and the foot

nominations would not mean remodeling them
all the same pattern. That would be TO form

mean-dare II mean the surrender of a single
conscientious conviction. That would be to sew
on to the body dead member
What Christian Endeavor pleads for is a
union of denominations just close and just
as speedy as is consistent with full adherence
to conscientious conviction essential points !:
closer, faster. 1t is hard TO see how any
Christian could oppose this purpose fail to
give it his eager benedction and active assist
ance.

with the phenomenon of diversified sects; but it
is pity that Professionalism cannot set them in
this point a better example
Christian Endesvor tends to bring the denomi-
nations together by the common name, common
principles common methods OF work. common
prayer meeting topics. by practical fellowship
in the local union meetings and the meetings of
the state and national conventions. More than
forty evangelical denominations have entered
into the movement. and their pastors testify
that the young people are no less loyal to their

May the time speedily come, Christian En-
deavorers work and pray, when we may sing,
with fullness OF truth:
We are not divided,
All body we.

WINTER BIRDS.
Robert w. Mcbride Addresses the
Audubon Society.

A few faithful members of the Indian
apolis Audubon Society, organized for the
protection birds and flowers. met last night
with Miss Rhoda Selleck at the Shortridge
High School. Although only a small num-
Der of the members were present a pleas
ant evening was spent.
Ex-Judge Robert w. Mcbride read a
paper on "Our Winter Birds, In which
he told interestingly of the manners OF
birds near this city during the cold months
Of the year. He said that most of the
members of the feathered tribe that remain
North in the winter stay all the season.
although a few of this kind seek warmer
climes as the winter becomes severe. For
the birds that remain here during the cold
season nature has provided warm coat.
but the birds that go South have no such
covering About thirty species OF birds
live in Indiana all winter. OF this num-
Der about nine are members OF the hawk
family and seven belong to the owl tribe.
Quail and owls seldom go South in winter.
The speaker talked of the characteristics
of winter birds and related a number OF
personal experiences while studying them.
He spoke of the fact that birds in winter
rarely sing as they do in the summer and
few of the birds that stay here ever sing.
One exception TO this is the song sparrow
that sings all winter long and entertains
the hunter he goes through the woods.
The next meeting of the Audubon So
ciety will be held on the evening OF Jan.
and Miss Elizabeth c. Marmon is on the
programme for paper on The Pastoral
Prose Writers"

Judge Carter Will Hand Down a
Written Opinion To-Day.

Judge vinson Carter will to-day decide
the injunction case of the indianapolis
Drop Forging Company against White
River Lodge of the National Association of
Machinists. Edward j. Collins, business
agent, and others. The court granted
temporary restraining order to the forging
company on Nov. on the representation
that the strike of machinists in its plant
and the blockade of its property by the
strikers interfered with its business inter-
ests and constitutional rights. The case,
when heard before Judge Carter, brought
out all of the facts of the strike and at
tracted much attention among members of
organized labor. who declared that the
temporary order granted by the court was
the most sweeping ever issued from a
court They declared that the injunction,
which enjoins members of the union from
going near the factory, interfered with one
of their inalienable rights. The decision of
Judge Carter to-day will be written and
will be based his opinion after two
weeks consideration.

Ten Persons Known to Be Drowned
In Southern Visitation.
SEVERAL STATES ARE SWEPT

Heavy Property Loss In Many
Parts-RailrOads Tied Up-Riv-
srs Approach Record Marks.

Nashville, Tenn, March 31.-Latest
reports from the flooded districts bear
| but the earlier news of loss Of life and
| wholesale destruction of property.
Ten lives are thus far known to have
been lost, three towns partially destroy
ed and several million dollars worth OF
damage done in the floods which have
deluged eastern and middle Tennessee.
Kentucky, northern Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi.
The floods in middle Tennessee have
been the greatest known in many years
and have resulted in losses aggregating
more than $1,O0O,0O0. On the Nashville
Chattanooga and st. Louis and Louis
Vile and Nashville railroads several
bridges have been damaged. The Cum
berland, Elk and Duck rivers and their
tributaries rose rapidly, the rise at
Nashville in twenty-four hours being
twenty-five feet.
The rivers are still rising, and reports
come from various towns that the rag
Ing waters have swept away a NUMBER
Of houses. There are reports of loss OF
life at some places, but these have not
ali been confirmed.
The streams between Murfreesboro
and Bell Buckle, Tenn, advanced 80
fast that occupants Of many homes
were obliged to seek safety in the sec
ond stories of their houses until the
food ~had,receded. Traffic on the Nash
Vile, Chattanooga and st. Louis n
Louisville and Nashville railroads at
some points has been stopped owing to
the tracks being submerged.
Mother and Children Drowned.
Three lives were lost in Giles county.
John CIle and his family, who resided
on Richmond creek, al Pulaski, were
driven to the roof of their home to es-
cape the rising water. The foundations
Of the structure gave way, and the
family was thrown into the flood. Mrs.
Cole and her two younger children
were drowned. The damage at Muir
freesboro and other portions of Ruth
erford county Is estimated to be half
q million dollars.
Some of the smaller streams tribu-
tary to the Tennessee are out OF their
banks and still rising. Telegraph wires
along all lines are down, and the re-
ports received here are very meager.
The bridge on the main line OF the
Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis
railroad at Mammoth Ford, between
Nashville and Tullahoma, is washed
away, and no trains are operating ON
that road. Trains which left here for
Nashville went as far as Tullahoma
and turned back.
1t is given out that nearly 5000 feet
of track In the vicinity Of Lafayette.
Ca, on the Chattanooga, Rome and
Southern railway, was washed away
and that several hundred feet Of the
Cincinnati Southern track near Grays-
VILE, Tenn, suffered q like fate.
On the Southern railway all trains
were delayed on account Of landslides
and washouts.
Trains are delayed on the Jackson
Vile end of the Cincinnati, New Or
leans and Texas Pacific railway, and a
wasilout occurred on the Chattanooga
Southern at Gadsden, causing some de-
lay to traffic.
