WAR ON INJUSTICE
DUTY OF CHURCH
Tennessee Rector, Whose
Efforts Ended Two Strikes
Sees Work to Be Done.

By the Associated Press.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, April IA &c.
year old Episcopal rector, negotiator
of two strike settlements in as many
days, contended today the church has
. moral obligation "to denounce and
attempt to correct obvious injustices."
Furthermore" Rev. Alfred Loaring-
Clark said, where in society there is
strife and bitterness, the task of the
church is to attempt to reconcile man
with man"
Rev. Mr.. Loaring- Clark, fresh from
successful negotiations of his min
isterial Committee for Social Justice"
In two local strikes, declared that ito
help eliminate strife and discord from
society is part of church work"
Place for Activity.
To do this, maintained the clergy
man, who once was day laborer in a
New York candy factory, the church
must "get down to where the battles
Of life are fought and where men are
bearing the worlds burdens"
The Committee for Social Justice,
headed by the rector, stepped into the
Memphis industrial scene as mediator
after a month marked by disorder.
Women workers were disrobed, several
persons were arrested.
The committee, authorized to act by
the Memphis Ministerial Association
included also Rev. Josiah Sibley, Pres
byterian, and the Rev. John c. Petrie
Unitarian.
Two Strikes Ended.
AS a result of its efforts, 30-day
strike at the Kuhn Manufacturing Co
was settled Thursday and pro-
longed strike at the Nona-Lee Dress
Co. ended yesterday. Approximately
ESQ workers were affected.
Both companies signed agreements
with the International Ladies' Gar.
ment Workers Union, providing fol-
. 40-hour week, a closed shop anc
minimum wage of $l2 for workers Of
average skill. Workers said they
formerly earned between S. and SIC
for as many as 48 hours.
The youthful clergyman ministers
to small congregation on the out
skirts Of a fashionable Memphis sub.
urb. He was educated at the Uni.

Three-Minute
Journeys
By Temple Manning

It isn't necessary to go abroad
in order to lose oneself in the
past or find spots that time
seems to have forgotten. Go to
New Orleans if you would wan.
der in the past, and then go
just a little farther to the
Evangeline country of Louisiana
for an incompatible travel thrill
replete with beauty, wonder and
interest.
Haven for the Acadian refu-
gees driven from Nova Scotia
by the British in 1765, the Teche
country must have seemed like
heaven on earth for the un-
happy wanderers. Odors of jas
mine and honeysuckle fill the
air; oranges and other fruits
grow at the behest of nature,
and with little aid from man;
stately oaks, draped with soft
Spanish moss, fringe the waters
of lovely lakes. It is a land
filled with romance, an ideal
sanctuary for the world.worn
today, just as it was a haven
for the oppressed nearly two
centuries ago.
Romance Is
Still There
Today the primitive roads over
which the AcadianS dragged
their produce have been re-
placed by a network of hard
surfaced highways, but romance
is still there for the motor.st
who has an eye for the unusual
and lovely. But, although it is
wrapped in a mantle of history
and romance, the Teche coun-
try is also the source of cotton,
corn, sugar and rice. And as
such, this part of Louisiana is
attracting industry and capital.
We envy those who can work
in such idyllic surroundings.
A journey from New Orleans
to Lake Charles, in the south
west corner of the state, will
take the visitor through the
core of the Evangeline country.

Its projects would be financed through bond issue
of seven hundred million dollars the proceeds Of which
would be loaned out to communities wishing to clean
up their slums.
And every nickel of that hundred million dol

CHOOSE COMMUNISM AS A
TEXT FOR A SERMON ON
THE MOUNT?
Wait! Before you give shock
ed answer, hear thu story
which lies behind that ques-
ton.
Pastor Carl Beard was
puzzled. Sunday after Sunday,
his older parishioners filed into
the pews of the friendly Luth-
eran Church Queens Village,
Long Island. But, weekly, the
number of younger faces
dwindled. Try as he might,
with this text or that, Youth
refused to be interested. Come
Sunday mornins, they were off
and away to the beach, the
open road, the tennis court.
What to do? Granted that
churches weren't the sole
social centers which they once
had been-still there must be
something in the church which
Youth needed as much as it
ever had. Times might change
but Religion need not.
What Was Youth
Interested In?
Bewildered-startled by the
challenge of his own query
Pastor Beard began to face
some facts, ask some questions.
The conditions in his church
weren't unique. Everywhere and
in all denominations, the prob
lem was the same.
YOUTH DIDN'T WANT TO
GO TO CHURCH. YOUTH
WASN'T INTERESTED IN
THE SERMONS WHICH HAD
SATISFIED ITS ELDERS
THIRTY YEARS BEFORE.
THE QUIET PLAT1TUDEs OF
1907 COULDN'T SATISFY THE
CHAOTIC CLAMOR OF 1887.
Then what was Youth inter
ested in? What would satisfy
it? Pastor Beard looked around
saw his answer written in
thousands of vivid young faces,
voiced in thousands of defiant
young demands.
YOUTH WAS INTERESTED
IN REALITY.
Youth was concerned, as
Christ had been concerned, not
with abstract theology, but with
the practical, pressing problems
of everyday existence.
YOUTH WANTED TO DIS
CUSS LIFE. NOT LIFE HERE
AFTER BUT LIFE AS IT
IS BEING LIVED TODAY BY
THE GIRL OR BOY IN THE
SCHOOL OR FACTORY, THE
MAN IN THE SHOP OR RE-
LIEF LINE.
So THAT-said Pastor Beard
was what Youth wanted.
Then THAT Youth should have!
Where once they had listened
listlessly to abstract sermons on
brotherly love, now they hotly
debated the concrete issues Of
CHILD LABOR :. WAGE AND

Where once they turned in
different ears to the reports of
foreign missionaries from India
and China, now they eagerly

ing social and industrial changes
in Germany, Russia and Eng

most popular spot in town. So
popular that he recently granted
