YOUTH IN
THE PULPIT

-1OHN H. HARGER, Of s.
Webster Ave, preached his
IL third sermon as pastor Of
the Ravenswood Church yesterday.
He is only II years old, and is said
to be the youngest licensed preach
er in Indianapolis.
That he should actively take up
preaching so young rather bellies
the theory that the younger gener-
alton is entirely submerged in jazz,
gin and gasoline.
Also it disproves the hoary myth
that a minister's o is necessarily
a black sheep. The youths father
Is a preacher-whose ministerial
rec began at the age Of sixteen.
Somehow one usually associates
the ministry with grave maturity.
1t requires a mental effort to pic
ture the occupant Of the pulpit
as ever having passed through
boyhood.
But the hot. flaming zeal Of
youth has profoundly swayed re-
ligious thought. Youth has been
conspicuous in every great relig-
ious movement that has swept the
world.
Jesus Of Nazareth was less than
thirty years old when he started
his short, earthly ministry that
changed the history Of the world.
His immediate disciples were most
ly young men-who had not estab-
lished Misunderstanding to dare all
and suffer much for a cause.
Old men for counsel and young
men for war has been as true in
the domain Of religion as else
where. Why not? Religion Is
not a thing of years but of the
spirit.

advantage of the citizens of Indianapolis. The
city government, whomever should be elected
under the political system, would inevitably. be
conducted with a view toffurthering the ambi-
tions of politicians of one party or another.
The citizens of Indianapolis could not possibly
benefit from such manipulation.
The present plan is wrong also because it
discourages office seeking by men of ability
and leaves the way open for those who revel
in rough-and-tumble political fights, regardless
of what means must be used to accomplish the
ends desired. The administration of the .af-
fairs of the city of Indianapolis is the biggest
and most important job in Indianapolis. Yet
under the present system this job is left to a
man not necessarily skilled in business admin
i~stration but certainly skilled in political
manipulation. Even though the head of the
city government should be a good business
man, his hands are tied by political affiliations
and obligations.
These are some Of the things that are
wrong with the principle of the present system
of city government.
TlHE city manager system, as many Ameri-
I can cities already have demonstrated
does away almost entirely with these Difficult
ties. The best recommendation for the city
manager system is the fact that cities which
have adopted it would not consider for a mo-
ment going back to the old system.
A petition asking for a referendum to de-
termine whether Indianapolis shall adopt the
manager system will be fled. After it is filed
there will be considerable time to discuss and
investigate the plan from every angle.
But no one is going to take the politicians
very seriously. Every one knows that they
will go to any length to stay in the game.

The Law and the
Manager Movement

I"7HE politicians, in their desperation, have
l attacked the Indiana city manager law
without knowing all the facts. They have ad-
mitted that city manager government has
been successful in. other States, particularly
in Ohio, but they have commended that it would
not work out in Indiana because the Indiana
law was weak. They made these statements
apparently without investigating the laws Of
Ohio and other States.
Now the fact has been disclosed that the
Indiana law is in a great many respects SUI
perior to that Of Ohio and that many more
safeguards are thrown around the rights of
citizens in Indiana cities governed under the
city manager act than are provided for citizens
of Ohio cities under city manager government.
So another political bubble has been ex-
ploded.
Any one with any knowledge Of city gov
eminent who read the comparison between the
Indiana and the Ohio law as printed in The
Times Saturday can readily see of what in
substantial material the politicians arguments
against the Indiana law were constructed.
lNT1O one has attacked the principle Of the
l. City mdUdBtI pan duQ Lu6 dCJdchS
against the law have failed to stand up. To
this same statement made recently in The
Times, another Indianapolis publication de-
clared that no one had attacked the principle
o. the present Federal plan Of city govern
nlent.
The whole city manager movement is a
protest against the principle of. the. Federal
plan of government for cities. 1t is not an at
tack on any individual or group of individuals
nor on any particular administration.
The present plan is wrong because it
makes the basis of city government political.
It recognizes political parties in the conduct of
the business of administering the affairs of a
city. .,.
In this country there are two great parties.
Supposedly they stand for divergent princi-
Piles. They are essentially national parties and
their differences are national. In no way are
their differences local and in no way have they
a place in the administration of local affairs.
This is the main trouble with the principle
Of the present system which depends on the
narty system for its existence.
IS Charles F.. Coffin, chairman of the city
la manager committee of 900, said the 9th
er day, there is no Democratic way and no Re-
publican way Of conducting a police depart
ment or of paving a street or of administering
q health department. Yet we find the city
divided into groups labeled Democratic and
Republican and with candidates labeled Demo
Ocratic ard Republican seeking office.
Under the present system, the city cleo
lion in indianapolis has a great deal to do with
The political complexion of the State. If there
should be a political election in indianapolis
this year it would have a very strong influence
on the Indiana senatorial election next wear.
Already strings are being pulled from Wash
ington to influence the Indianapolis city cleo
ton.

believes, fattens the divorce court

Perhaps incompatibility of the

Quite likely much marital happi-

tin cans and the husks Of delica-

But something besides posses
sion Of a cookbook Is needed TO
change home-cooked meals from
sodden nightmares to %gustatory
dreams. One can't eat a cookbook
with relish. The cooks will and
ambition must translate recipes
into edible dishes.
So If a bride is determined to

To the Editor Of The Times:

To the Editor OF The Times:
n RESPECTFULLY request
that in fairness you publish
E1 this communication, to cor
rect definite miscellaneous in Mr..
Charles w. Hale's letter concerning
the new Christian Science move
ment. Mr.. Hale's communication in
which my name was mentioned, APP
peared in your issue Of April 2, but
has just been called to my attention.
Nj. Hale and the organization he
represents cannot possibly be more
anxious than is The Christian
Science Church Of the New Genera
ton to disclaim any and all on
nection between the two.
1t Is untrue that I joined Mrs.
Bits movement after May "a,
1924" the date upon which the Su-
preme Judicial Court Of Massachu-
sets rendered a final decision in
the Christian Science litigation
which had been in progress for over
five years. My interest In Mrs.
Bills activity began in the summer
Of 1920, over four years before the
date mentioned by Mr.. Hale, and l
began my active support of this
work over six months before this
court decision. These facts were ad-
mitted by the Boston Directors Of
Mr.. Hale's' Church in an article
published byithem in The Christian
Cnioaaa Monitor IN Nov IA 1904
and which Mr.. Hale must have on
file in his office.
Facts on Litigation
Mr.. Hale does not correctly state
the facts in regard to the above
mentioned litigation and its conclu-
sion. The finding of facts from the
evidence in this litigation as con-
tanned in the report Of ex-Federal
Judge Dodge substantiated my con.
tentions in regard to the deplorable
conditions within the Christian Sci
ence Mother Church organization
and the misconduct Of certain high
officials. These facts were spe-
officially confirmed by the Supreme
Court, but the court held that what
ever may be their inf1rmities" these
directors are clothed with absolute,
Unbelievable power by the Church
Manual and that the civil court
would not interfere with the execu-
ton of ecclesiastical law. Printed
copies of the full text of the find
ings Of Judge Dodge are available
for distribution.
