on trial today. We as . people ere on
trial. Give the gospel Is 1t Is preached
by the average church today chance
in our individual life and this old
world would, g you 50 aptly put 1t,
become In fact . Garden Of Eden. No
we are not In need Of more churches.
What's needed Is for people to humbly
acknowledge that we have refused to
live up to what the Christian Church
stands for, and by the grace Of God ac-
cept It's standard Ia our own lives.
Take courage, Brother Jenkins. Find
the church that comes closest to your
way Of belief, then throw yourself In
to It's work. No tho church Is decid-
edly not the most depressed, but still
is living, vital institution for all that
IS best In the life Of our people.
Sincerely yours.

Editor Tribune:
In reading the article by Mr.. Jen-
kins in yesterdays paper In which he
sees no hope for the present-day
church and feels 1t is Of all, the most
depressed organization. a few things
come to my mind. It has been my
privilege to travel up and down North
Dakota for the past II years, In the
interest Of Christian Educational
work. In 50 doing have naturally
come In close contact with most OF the
churchs and their leaders.
We have at present In North Dakota
about 100000 church members. This
fact does not indicate depressed or
ganization. We have about 10000
members in the church schools. vaca-
ton Bible schools. high school Bible
classes. Young Peoples summer camps,
confirmation classes, and the various
kinds Of Christian organizations with
In the churches. All Of these boys and
girls as we'll as young people are being
trained In the way Of Christian living
by the workers Of these same churches
on volunteer basis. Surely this could
not be possible II the church was the
most depressed institution.

Presidents monetary program was
predicted today by Senate leaders, both
Republican and Democratic.
As the dollar devaluation bill reached
the floor, Democratic spokesmen ap-
peared inclined to yield on the time
limit demand, written In by the re-
belling Banking Committee.
President Roosevelt received from
Secretary Morgenthau this morning the
amended copy Of the monetary bill, but
he withheld comment until he had a
chance to read it.
Republicans were counting on almost
solid party support for both modiflca-
tions. Five Democratic Senator's voted
for them in the committee. and they
might be joined by handful of others
on the floor.
A final vote on the bill by the end
of the week was the Democratic goal
but leaders were far from sure 1t could
be obtained. They expressed more fear
of Republican oratory than OF the
minority votes.
One cloud on the horizon for the
administration leaders was the demand
from the silver bloc for legislation to
aid the white metal.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Of Mon
tana, announced today the terms of the
amendment he will offer to the bill for
the purchase of silver. He said it would
call for buying the metal until silver
reaches the approximate ratio of is
to / with gold. No more than 1,0O0,-
100000 ounces could be bought.
Wheeler contended the plan would
cost the Government nothing, because
it would issue silver certificates to off,
set the cost.
1.-THE Government won't have to buy
more than 100000 900 or 10000 900
ounces to establish that ratio" Wheeler
said.

BY the Associated Press.


GREENCASTLE, Ind. January "a
Trustees Of De Pauw University, said to
be the only Methodist College in the
United States offering military train
ing course, yesterday voted to request
the United States War Department to
withdraw Reserve Officers Training
Corps unit from the university.
The military training course at De
Pauw was placed on an optional basis
soon after DR.. G. Bromley Oman be-
came president of the university in
1928. Enrolment in the department
has fallen off, and the board of trus-
tees expressed doubt that the required
100 students would register for the mil
itary work next September.
Slightly more than 100 now are en-
rolled in the r. o. T. c. unit
A statement issued by the trustees
after their annual meeting yesterday
said the action was taken "in the light
OF the resolutions adopted at the gen
eral conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church In 1928 and 1882, as fol-
lows: We are opposed to all military
training in high schools and to COM
universities. We earnestly petition the
Government of the United States to
cease supporting all military training
IN civilian educational institutions"
Roy 0. West of Chicago is president
OF the board Of trustees. There were
only two dissenting votes, among ap-

tion to request withdrawal Of the r.

RICHMOND, Va, January 24.-As
hearings were concluded last night on
the liquor bill 1t was indicated by men,
bers of the House and Senate Finance
Committee that both stand for the dis
pensary plan as submitted.
1t was said, however, that the poll Of
the two committees was taken before
last nights final hearing, when Dele
gate R. F. McMurran startled the
Liquor Control Commission with the
announcement that Quebec, after whose
plan Virginia's bill was patterned, has
recently legalized the sale Of liquor by
the drink in hotels and restaurants.
The House Committee will remain in
session until it can report bill to the
House.
The Senate Committee will await
action by the House body.
Delegates Vivian L. Page Of Norfolk

OF Virginia, he declared, did not vote for
what they want, when they want it
and in a clean place"
The dispensary plan, he said. ''is just
another big addition to the State po-
litical machine" He declared the plan
adopted for the District of Columbia,
after which his bill was patterned, is
the ideal way to handle the liquor con-
troll situation.
Delegate H. NJ Sutherland of Wise
County asked the inclusion of a provi-
sion which would permit the State to
manufacture its own liquor in competi-
ton with the "distillers' trust" The

>, The committee, during a trip of more
tnan TWO hours, covering a distance
OF more than so miles, visited three
sites In Maryland and two in the Dis
trlct. A number Of sites, including
washington Airport, Hybla Valley, near
alexandria: Va, and a tract northwest
OF Alexandria, were not visited today
due to the necessity for committee mem
bers to return to the Capitol for todays
session of Congress.
We will visit the other sites as soon
as possible" Chairman McSwain said.
Il do not know just when we will 90,
but 1t will be done as soon as we can
get the committee together for the pur-
pose."
A caravan Of 13 automobiles, includ-
Ing six provided by the Quartermaster
Generals Department Of the Army for
members OF the committee, left the
House Once Building at 10 o'clock on

but is at liberty to select any site it
may choose.
