observance of the day are proposed,
including the following:
A four weeks study course in
Bible classes. young peoples groups
and mid-week church services on
the proposal to renounce war.
In the Sunday schools an en-
phasis on the cultivation of friend
ly attitudes toward and apprecia-
ton of the children of other lands
and races.
In the regular worship on ArmiS-
tice day brief memorial service
for those who died in the World
war, including the 1.-TWO Minutes
Silence" and a sermon on the pos
sibilities of the Pact of Paris in
ushering in new relationships
among the nations.
In pointing out the significance
for the world peace of the Kellogg
treaty the message of the Federal
Council of Churches says:
I'm stressing support for the Pact
of Paris, let Christian leaders make
it clear that this treaty is not a
panacea. 1t will avail little as a
mere form of words. It will, how
ever, mean a new era in human
history if we, and all peoples take
1T seriously. With the prospect of
war out of the picture, all the great
world problems will stand on an
entirely new footing-disarmament,
security, inter allied debts, treaty
revisions, monopoliStic control of
raw materials and of markets.
Stripped of all nonessentials
and antiquities, the issue comes to
this: Shall war be dethroned, con-
demned and renowned as a meth
cd for settling international dis
putes and for seeking national OBJ
jectives? Will the United States
of America now solemnly pledge it.
self to these high ideals? And will
the churches now give their whole
hearted support to this challenging
proposal?"

READY FOR CONCERT
CHOIR GETS

One of the major musical events
of the fall season will take place
Monday evening, Nov. 10, at the
Murat when the MendelsShon Choir,
composed of 1876 of the city'S lead
ing singers. will give its annual Fall
Concert under the direction of Ell
mer Andrew Steffen, with John
Charles Thomas, Americas noted
baritone, as the guest artist Of the
concert.
Under the baton of Steffen, the
choir has acquired a high degree of
vocal perfection which has deserv-
edly placed it in the ranks of one
of this country'S finest singing Soc
ietieS.
The feature OF the coming con-
cert will be the observance of the
centenary of the death Of Franz
Schubert who died Nov. 10, 1929.
The choir will sing four Of Schu-
bert'S choral compositions and Mr..
Thomas will sing group of Schu-
bert songs.
Several of the nine numbers to be
presented by the choir will be sung
without accompaniment.
This is one of the most exacting
task for any vocal organization and
demands a perfect balance Of voices,
true pitch, clear articulation, correct
phrasing and breathing and a well
controlled command Of dynamic
expression.
For a number of years many citi-
zens of Indianapolis who are in
terested in the culture and musical
progress of the city have enrolled
themselves as associate members Of
the Mendelssohn Choir.

One of the most trustworthy
signs of the endurance of this mu-
steal endeavor is the fact that many
parents are giving their children the
advantage of this musical back
ground, realizing that it is the fin
est foundation obtainable for a
thorough musical understanding,
and the next generation will reap
the benefits of the pioneering of
the Indianapolis Symphony So
ciety and Ona B. Talbot.
An interesting item observed in
the program printed below is that
the Indianapolis concert of the New
York Philharmonic orchestra will
mark the 2,320th concert of this

the second Oldest orchestra in the

tragic poets for the elements of the music.
They are the monumental ones illustrated
in the "Prometheus" of AeschyIus and the
"Oedipus" of Cophocles. Like Prometheus.

becomes insolent in his pride and goes to
destruction. He is noble, kind, good
courageous, but yainglorious in his pride of
ancestry, position and achievement; and
he falls. The elements in his character
to which Beethoven has given marvelously
eloquent proclamation are his pride, which
leads him to refuse to truckle to the
plebian tribunes; his rage which had
stomach for destruction Of Rome, and his
tenderness which makes him yield to the
tears Of mother and wife and brings death
to him. The moods are two: the first is
published In the stupendous unisono c Of
the introduction and the angry principal
subject; the second, In the gentle and
melodious second theme. The overture dies
with mutterings in the depths; with pride
unbroken.

Petroleum Used by
Builders Long Ago

Petroleum products were well
known 10 the ancients, according 10
the youngest son of Lord Lempill, a
Scottish laird. Speaking before the
Royal Aeronautlcal society In London,
Lempill said. 1--WE read in the Bible
the account of the building of the
Tower of Babel and learn that Slime
had they for mortar Tho slime was
bitumen."
He further mentioned that Pliny
and other ancient writers have re-
ferred to the use Of "Slcillan oil" for
Illuminating purposes. The Dead sea,
originally named the Lacus Asphalites,
provided bltumen, which was sold to
the Egyptians for embalming pur-
poses. In the East the petroleum In
dustry was growing concern long
before the Christian era. Earlier than
this the Chinese and japanese had
sunk oil wells and ventilated the
shafts by means of bellows. In Jap.
anese history 1t is related that "burn-
ing water" was found In the reign OF
Tenjtenno, or about 1920 years ago.
About the year 1900 a japanese
named Niagara found oil which he sub
sequently distilled The product was
sold as an illumlnant II Is thought
this was the first instance of an at
tempt to split up the crude oil into
its component parts.-Kansas City

Majority of Mankind

There are clubs and societies for

The trouble with most of Us is, we
get too excited over little things and
not excited enough over the big ones
Agitation, loss of temper and sur

waste of time and energy. In most
human affairs more can be accom-.
