Foreign Missions Conference
Hears Leaders Opinions
on Christianity

Views on Christianity by
Mahatma Ghandi. great ascetic
and religious leader of India,
featured an address before the
Foreign Missions Conference, by
the Reverend E. Stanley Jones, in
the Washington Auditorium today.
The famous Hindu's opinions on
the conquest of his country by
Christianity were uttered in an
interview with Doctor Jones, said
the speaker.
Spirit Of Christ.
IF you come to us" Mahatma
Ghandi said, you must come in
the spirit of Christ. II you do so.
we cannot resist you.
You missionaries should live
more Christ-like lives. / would
suggest that you practice your re-
ligion without adulterating it by
compromise or by 'toning 1t down.
II would suggest that you put
your emphasis upon love, for love
is a sacred thing in Christianity
and | would advise you to study
non-C Christian religions more thor
oughly, discovering what is good
in them, so that you may interpret
Christianity in terms that the peo-
pie understand.
Doctor Jones made the point that
foreign missionaries ARE not trying
to make the East pale copy OF the
80 g.. 4 -, aak
to interpret for her own
Somewhat similar trends of thought
were presented by Miss Mabel Il.
Howell, of Nashville, Tenn, who
addressed the convention on Christ
Message to Society,"" and by tho
Reverend John McLaurin. also OF,
India, who submitted Christ Mes
sage to the Individual"
The huge auditorium, seating 5000
people, was crowed.
Pick up add in type.
The afternoon will be given over
to simultaneous conferences and a
general assembly, at which the
Reverend Robert Forgan. of Sept
land, will deliver the principal adj
dress.
Speakers for tonight's meeting
come from such widely separated
tHlSSIOIlS CcHIcI5 DIS JdpedHs A1EICds
India and China.
The great convention, the most
important gathering of mission
workers in half a century, was
given an suspicious opening late
yesterday, when President Coolidge
spoke.
Best Workers Urged.
The Chief Executive told the
missionaries that the service they
aim to achieve "can he rendered
only under the inspiration OF a
broad and genuine liberalism
lit must rest on toleration," said
the President. THE most effective
missionary work will be that which
seeks to impress itself rather
through example in living rightly
than through the te0ching OF pre-
cept and creed"
To uphold such principles as he
enunciated, President Coolidge
urged that only the highest type
of workers be sent to the foreign
fields.

81 MA I { IS
ASKED To
OK. BILL
Mrs. Henderson Behind Cam
paign for presidents
Avenue"

A new campaign to change the
name of Sixteenth street to
Presidents avenue was initiated in
the Senate today by the introduce
ton of a bin for this purpose by
Senator L. Heisler Ball. chairman
Of the Senate District Committee.
The bill is being introduced at
the request of Mrs. John B. Hend-
erson, who presides over the
Henderson Castle at 1900 Six
teenth street. Mrs. Henderson has
already offered to donate to the
Government . handsome home on
Sixteenth street as a permanent
residence for Vice Presidents of
the United States.
Name Once Changed.
Some years ago Mrs. Henderson
was successful in having Congress
change the name OF Sixteenth street
to the Avenue of the Presidents. but
Senators Frank b. Brandegee of Con.
necticut and John Sharp williams of
Mississippi succeeded In. having the
name changed back to Sixteenth
street.
1t is the contention of Mrs. Hen
derson that during the period Of
time that Sixteenth street bore Ire
name of the Avenue of the Presi-
dents that 1t enjoyed its most sub
stantiaI prosperity and that if tile
name is- changed again it will go
down in history as the one outstand-
ing street in the National Capital.
Name Appropriate.
The name is appropriate. Mrs.
Henderson points out because every
President of the United States ex-
cept one has lived at the foot of the
street
She further says that by changing
the name to Presidents Avenue she
is avoiding the objection named be-
fore that the Avenue of the Presi
dents was too cumbersome title
for the street.
