FEARS NEW STATE
MENACE TO CHURCH
Yale Professor Tells Episco'
pal Congress Mere Wei
fare Role Is Likely.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press. !
PHILADELPHIA, October 27-Chris-
tianity was pictured as hanging in the
balance by DR.. Wilbur M. Urban, pro-
fessor Of philosophy at Yale Univer-
sity. in an address before the Epis-
copalian Catholic Congress yesterday:
DR.. Urban asserted degradation OF
the Deity is the product OF humanism,
which, temporarily, at least, Is far
reaching in modern Christianity and
not unknown in our own communion
The congress, which Is celebrating
the centenary of the oxford movement,
far-reaching Catholic revival, was
told by the educator that the state
over-church doctrine, fought by John
Keble and his associates in 1888, still
imperils the church.
Whereas the "old" erastianiSm sought
to make the church an arm OF the
state, the new" menace Is that 1t will
become a mere instrument OF social
welfare and control, said Drs Urban.
DIR. Will Spens, vice chancellor OF
Cambridge University, brought greet
lngs to the Congress from the Bishop
of London and the Scottish primate.
Contrasting it to the Roman Catholic
doctrine of 'infallibility Of papal au-
thority," DR.. Spens declared that the
Episcopal Church's authority of Cath
Ole doctrine rests not on official pro-
nouncement, but on its relation to ex-
perience."
"Is there any field to which author
ity is so freely conceded or the author
ity of which is SO secure as in the case
of science?" he asked. 1T is similar
authority which am claiming for the
Catholic faith"
DR.. urban said new kingdoms are
being created in the modern world
structures economic, social and pollt1-
cal-"Whose f1nality cannot yet be de-
termined" He raised the question as
to whether these new domains shall
in time become the kingdoms Of God"
THE outstanding character OF Ca
tholicism is the practice OF the pres
ence OF God" said Dr. Urban. The
outstanding feature of the Catholic re-
vival was the revival Of that practice.
The national apostasy, which was the
external occasion Of this revival. was
but the outward sign Of the inner
spiritual decay
DR. Urban and DR.. SpenS were speak
erS at the last days session Of the four
DAY congress The Right Rev. Benja-
min F. P. WINS. Bishop of Milwaukee.
presided as chairman of the congress.
Many other nationally known Episco-
palian prelates have taken part, in

church in America. the Mos. Rev.

Wants Chance for Boys

TOpAY'S wandering boy, in the
opinion of one of them, any,
how, may be tomorrow's Presi-
Il dent At worst he is entitled
to separation from adult 'bums"
and a chance to improve himself.
These are the conclusions OF Everett
Turcotte, 90, short-order cook and
counter man, who has spent the last
18 months on the road in search of
work.
A broken home in Foxville, Mass.
turned him to the highway-smal jobs
and still smaller handouts kept him
moving over the Eastern half Of the
United States, North and South.
For the last three weeks he has been
at the Salvation Army's emergency
home, saving wood two hours daily for
his keep.
Just before Christmas he found
part-time job, selling fruit cake from
door to door on commission.
Majority Want Work.
Today Turcotte brought his written
conclusions to The Star. He said his
ambition was to write and, although
his English teacher had praised his
compositions, he had to leave high
school after the first year to look for
a job.
Turcotte wrote:
'As one Of the boys who are hitch
hiking from place to place. or riding
freights in the same manner, I have
this to say:
The majority Of the boys are willing
to work. BY this I mean we are not
shiftless lot. like the professional
bum, not caring whether we get any
where or not.
I'VE are an active army. We have
ambitions, ability to become lawyers,
doctors, scientists, engineers, Senators,
or even Presidents, Of our country. All
this is not impossible, as has been
proved by the history Of the United
States So I say this:
There must be found way to help
us keep up our courage and moral prin-
ciples. There must be something to
keep our idle hands and brains busy,
even If only for our beds and meals.
Can Realize Goals.

Many economists have proposed a

variable dollar. Such a dollar would
be allocated purchasing power accord

vary as the supplies Of the various

Thus, money would always have ap-
