EXPONENT OF NEW
RELIGION IS VISITOR
British. Writer Represents
Oxford Group; Terms
Dole Farce

A religion that may be practiced
in offices, that may hold it's meeting
at the eighteenth green, or wher-
ever good fellows" get together,
visited in indianapolis over the
weekend in the person of A. j. Rus
sell, British NOVELIST and journalist
Russell is a member of what is
known as the oxford group.
The group believes in prayer, read
ing of the New Testament, listening
to God for guidance, and rising
early in the morning.
Creeds Are No Bar
"Creeds are no bar to belonging
to an oxford group" Russell ex-
plains.
"a group can be formed anywhere
among men or women who desire
Gods guidance in life" he says.
Putting into daily practice the
teachings of the New Testament is
the desire of the oxford group. 1t
first was formed in Cambridge uni
verSity, England, and later spread
to Oxford he said.
Contemplative worship with
thoughts luminous ones, received
by mind when receptive, are key
notes of the religion.
'You might call it the shadow
church" Russell asserts.
Terms Dole FarcicaI
Russell termed the dole in Eng
land as farcical.
He says there is much protest in
England at present against its pay
ment to married women.
Asked what England's reaction
would be to the proposal of Senator
Borah for a fve-year vacation in
battleship building he said, It'd
sooner see airships built than bat
tleships. England is Britannia, and
she, like women, always pays. Some
times she feels herself the atlas of
the world.
Business conditions in Great Bri-
tain was described by the novelist
as "treading water"
Russell left today to visit an OK
ford Group in Louisville
