A story recently in an Indianapolis
newspaper gives the information that
DR.. Frank L. Loveland, of the First
Methodist church of that city, and
former pastor of the First Methodist
church in Topeka, has asked that his
resignation from his pulpit be accept
ed as he wants to take up lecturing.
He hopes to have his eastern head
quarters in New York city, and mis-
western headquarters in Topeka. The
story in full, is as follows;
There is going to be a changed
world after this war is over, and
whether this change will be backward
or forward Will depend largely upon
day rises to meet the crisis" These
words were part of a statement made
by the Rev. Frank l.. Loveland, pastor
of the Meridian Street Methodist Epis-
copal church, in which he announced
to his surprised congregation Sunday
that he would request the annual cor
ference to assign him to work under
the social service department of the
church, in order that he might 60 or
the lecture platform to further the
work of social and national patriotism
Doctor LoVeland's announcement,
made at the close of the services,
transformed into gloom the congrega-
ton, which had come to church hap
Ply over the return of Doctor Loveland
after two months absence on a lee
ture tour. He will not leave the pas
torate until after the conference, Sep
TENDER 10. In his statement Doctor
Loveland said:
Il feel that the crisis that is on in
this country is more critical for the
church than for the nation and that
the social, industrial and ethical up
heavals that lie just ahead of US de-
mand that hundreds of the leading
ministers of the country enlist in the
larger service of forming public opin-
ion and leadership in order to guide
the new movements that are bound to
follow in this country"
Further along he said: 81 believe
that thousands of Christian ministers
should hear the call of religious as well
as national patriotism. This war has
shaken a multitude out of religious
dormancy. Millions are now in a
teachable mood and demand a rein
statement of Christian theology and
national ethics and in this great work
i claim a mans share.
Some men," he added "can do this
work best in their own pulpits Others
can and will do it best on the public
platform. This latter method has for
long time appealed to me.
I can not see how any minister
can face the present great crisis for
church and state and justify himself
In settling down complacently to the
petty routine tasks so often demanded
by the average church"
