DIR. Greszinki said there never

CLERIC ASSERTS
CIT les BREED
CRIME

The spirit Of crime in the big
cities of the United States is being
fostered by the Christian churches
OF America is the startling charge
of the Rev. II. w. Foreman, secre-
tary for rural work in the social
service department of the Episcopal
Church.
''No purely city civilization has
ever survived in history" said the
Rev. Mr.. Foreman. Cities never
reproduce themselves, but depend
| upon the smaller towns and farming
sections for the constant stores Of
fresh blood, brains, and energy
necessary for them to carry on. II
is in these rural districts that
American ideals of home life, indus
try. thrift, law observance and es-
sential production are rooted ana
conserved.
1T is essential if the citizenship
OF the big cities is not to disin-
tergated that steps be taken to los
ter in the rural and country districts
high standards of Christian living.
Despite this, the Christian churches,
and especially the Episcopal church,
are doing little to promote religious
ideals and concepts of life in these
rural districts where both are needed
most.
Neglected BY Churches
According to figures given by
Mr.. Foreman, there are 45.000,000
peoples, nearly one half OF the pop
ulation of the United States, In.
cluded in the so-called rural dis
tricts. Of these 2S,000,000 actually
live in the country, and of these 2s,-
900 .o99. a large percentage are alb
solutely without religious affilia-
tons of any KIND"
How can honest, law-abiding citi-
zens he expected in the Cities asks
Mr.. Foreman, when their popula-
lions are largely recruited from this
religious no mans land?'
There has always been a belief
in the Episcopal Church that we
are essentially an urban community.
This may be measuably true; yet
we find the Rev. NJ. A. Dawber,
director of rural work In the Meth.
odist Episcopal Church declaring,
and l am in full sympathy with
his opinion, that the city churches
will be as barren az tomb unless
army of boys and girls, who viii
tomorrow be in the city.

After 4 voyage OF $500 statute
miles. through the greatest adver-
stiles Of weather mistortunes. I
am entirely satisfied with the per-
Torrance of the Graf Zeppelin.
You must realize If there has
been disappointment over the late
ness of our arrival that we have
been on a tour OF France, Spain,
Gibraltar, the Azores; Bahama and
the principal cities Of the Atlantic
Coast.
That was not by choice, as we
had contemplated a more direct
route. After travelling $500 miles
to Gibraltar was still as far
from my destination as when
started. We came during a
season of storms over the ocean
and have found the ship safe in
some OF .the worst weather.
We had, as you know, an acct
dent that further proved the
safety of. this type OF ship. We
were able to make our own re-
pairs while in the air and to
proceed. Our speed, however, was
reduced by about 80 per cent.
