MISSIONARY ASKS
FOR NEW ORDER
Or. E. Stanley Jones Sees
Collective Sharing in
True Christianity.

II Christianity were really applied 1t
would result in some form Of collective
sharing closely akin to Communism,
the United Foreign Missionary Confer
ence was told this morning by DR.. E.
Stanley Jones Of India, who has been
called the best known Protestant mis-
sionary In the world.
THE kingdom of God" DR.. Jones
said, is the most radical state the
mind can conceive. Many Of US would
like the kingdom to come, but not now.
Some probably would be frightened out
of their wits.
1.-THE Communist is likely to make
us rediscover the kingdom Of God by
proving a mustard plaster on the back
Of a capitalistic society to make 1t
think. We have got to produce bet
ter order"
DR.. Jones. who is leader of the mis-
s.onary group. conducted a round
table discussion. during which members
of the conference suggested topics tc
him. Among the subjects proposed
were the attitude Of Christianity toward
personal property, the superiority OF
Christianity as an export product" over
Indigenous religions. the proper rela'
tionship between the races in Chris
tianity, Christ and Communism ano
whether Americans do not need mis-
sions as much or more than the people.
of other nations.
Outlines Mission Work.
DR.. Jones outlined three methods Of
missionary work. One, he said, is icon
oclasm, which discards all it finds anc
superimposes culture as well as religion:
ideas; a second brings together the flnt
qualities of Christianity and other re-
ligions to form universal corporate
faith and the last presents Christ a.
the fulf1llment of all truth and beauty
He said the first two methods have
been discarded for the last.
| The speaker told the assembled min
listers that great pressure has beer
| brought in India to make the Chris
tian missionary movement there accep
the eclectic plan of the second method
This would mean, however. he said
an admission that Christianity can N

President Roosevelt's demand
that the jobs of rail workers be
saved under the bill, which is
designed to effect widespread

to the battle being waged by
SpokeSmen for labor.

q final decision on the measure,
struck out the Norris and Tram.
mel amendments adopted in the

Jected to by railroad executives
and the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
