FORREST WHITE

The following is taken from the
New Concord paper:
One of the most largely attended
funerals conducted in the New Con-
cord M. E. church in recent years
was that held there Wednesday af-
ternoon for Forrest w. White, aged
so, who died at 1880 a. M, Mon
day in Bethesda hospital, Zanes-
vile, following an operation per-
formed last week.
The auditorium of the church was
filed to capacity for the last rites
for Mr. White, who for several years
had operated the Forest Dale hatch
cry on South College street and who
for many years held pastorate IN
the NJ E. church in addition to his
other work Mr. White was elected
without opposition last November as
Union township justice Of the peace.
The only case brought before him
was not disposed of before his ill
ness reached the critical stage more
than a week ago.
The funeral was conducted by the
Rev. C. G. Davis, pastor of the
church, assisted by the Rev. J. w.
H. Brown, pastor emeritus. Mem

V. s. "For laying aside the COM
mandment of God, We hold the ira
dition of men, as the washing of
things To many the Bible has
ceased to be authority. Thus saith
the Lord" has been displaced by
what ''Dr. SO and SO thinks"
V. 8. 'And he said unto them
Full well ye reject the command
ment of God, that ye may keep your
own tradition" Jesus here stated
the stubborn fact which ought to
have helped them to see their err
ror. Teachability is an asset in the
Christian life.

er or mother, 1t is Corban, that is
to say a gift, by whatsoever thou
mightest be profited by me, he shall
be free Jesus now quotes Moses
who they regarded as one having
authority. He showed that by their
traditional teaching of a son saying
Corban meaning that the gift SO ad-
could not be given to parents in
need that they were violating the
law of Moses. In their religious
profession they complied with the
laws prescribed by the elders first
and in this instance they violated
the commandments of God and
therefore sinned against him. They
were caught in their own trap.
V. 13. making the word of God
of none effect through your tradi-
ton, which ye have delivered; and
many such like things ye do" If
the word of God ceases to have an
effect then God is kept at a distance
for the Word is his entrance into
the soul of man. Man has a mind
that must think How he thinks de-
termines his character. If the
thoughts of God, eternal truths
dominate the mind, there is hope
for his soul which can feed on
things spiritual.

SOME HIGH SPOTS OF A
5,70O MILE TRIP

On Feb. Mr.. and Mrs. F. B
Kraps left this place by automobile
for a trip through the southern
states. They started directly south
going to Ripley and crossing
the Ohio river into Kentucky at
Maysville, passing through the
beautiful blue grass country to Lex
ington, Frankfort. Louisville and
Harrisburg. At the latter place
where they visited the historical
state park, there is the cabin in
which Abraham Lincoln's parents
were married; also the monument
to early Settlers" costing $780,
600, dedicated in 1884 by President
Roosevelt. There, also, is the cabin,
enclosed in glass;, where Lincoln
was born From there TO Nashville
Tenn, visiting the state capital, as
they did in each state visited; saw
another beautiful park here owned
by the city; visited Memphis next,
thence into Mississippi, visiting
Jackson, and Vicksburg, where
within the national park are located
several CCC camps and a CCC en-.
rollee is detailed to go in tourists
cars and explain the battlefield.
From here they went across the
state to Natchez, where they visited
the beautiful southern homes that
are open to the public.
OF Baton Rouge, La, Mrs. Kraps
says, had they seen nothing else

Correcting Wrong Ideas of Relig-

March 27:
In what ways may we make void
the Word of God?
What are some of the means help
full in public services of worship
which if over-emphasized interfere
with real worship?
Why is the sfdestepping of re-
sponsibilities both foolish and
wrong?
Can you think of any traditions
of men that have been imposed up
on others in modern times?
When ought man be bold in an
swering his critics and when ought
he to ignore them?

always be tested by truth and right;
it is only one of many means to an
end and never the end itself; that
need is kingdom of God within us,

carry through these means the spirit

Correcting Wrong Ideas of Relig-

March 27:
The popularity of Jesus enraged
the scribes and Pharisees who sent
deputy from their number up in
against him.
V. 1"'Then came together unto
him the Pharisees and certain of the
Scribes, which came from Jerusa-
lem" The delegations purpose
was not sincere. Their object was
blurred and refracted They could
see, but could not see straight.
Y. 2, 3. "And when they saw
some of the disciples eat bread with
the defiled, that is to say, with un-,
washen hands, they found fault. For
the Pharisees, and all the Jews, eX-
cept they wash their hands oft, eat
not, holding the tradition of the ell
ders.'' From the Biblical teachings
OF cleansing, the Pharisees had
evolved detailed program OF
their hands when there was likely
program was SO universally accept.
ed that it was regarded even more
important than many plain Biblical
teachings and served as a means for
denouncing Christ.
V. 5. "Then the Pharisees and
scribes asked him, Why walk not
thy disciples according to the ira
dition Of the elders, but eat bread
with unwashen hands?" They were
inquirers who did not want to know
the truth They were quibblers
who wanted to entangle Jesus in his
talk Their question was tinged
with scorn. But who can learn
truth unless he seeks it with the
whole heart? There is great dan
ger of making too much of the GER
emonial in religion-fine music, art
windows, beautiful cathedral, a
ments of the holy communion and
and therefore displace the true
spirit of worship, the direct COM
munion of the soul with God.
v. 6. "He answered and said un~
to them, Well hath Esaias prophe-
sled of you hypocrites, as it is writ
ten, This people honoreth me with
their lips, but their heart is far
from me- They were hypocrites
because their worship was pretext
and not from the heart; they could
speak beautiful words with lovely
sentiment but in it all was the hol-
lOwness of hypocrisy. Jesus had to
speak because the moral order of
God was at stake.
v. 7. "Howbeit in vain do they
worship me, teaching for doctrines
the commandments of men" When
the commandments or the traditions
of the church displace Christian
faith there follows a spiritual de-
cay and one goes through all the
forms of worship unconscious that

of the Norwich NJ E. church for
time, giving up that pulpit in 1880.
Mr.. White conducted several ac-
tivities to aid the boys of the COM
munity He took the Rangers, a
boys organization, on camping
trips, and he was teacher of the
high school boys class of the church

his health compelled him to give up
this and the superintendency of the
church school, which he had held
for a year.

Tampa. Their course took them in

pOrtant cities, crossing and recross-
ing the state three or four times,
often staying in cabins in the or
ange groves. They left Florida by
way of Jacksonville; visited at
cities. In South Carolina they were
much impressed with the historical

Wednesday evening, March 16.
Throughout all of the $500 mile
trip the weather was delightful,
and no car trouble was experienced.
They did not find so much traffic IN
the southern states, and were sur

saw walking on the highway.
This is the second extensive trip

one was to the far northwest, and

trip already planned.

What is the chief concern now in
the work of religious education?
The time is past when we shall be
satisfied with theories; in fact we
are not satisfied with the objective
of century ago in the goal of sim
ply transferring Bible knowledge
into the minds of others The chief
concern of leaders of religious edu~
cation today is to provide the meth
DDS and materials for the guidance
of local leaders i'll program of PEI
sonal religious experience and
Christian living. We have discover
ed that the mere transmission of re-
ligious knowledge does not neces-
sarily result in Christian living.
There must be a program of exper-
fence in personal and group action.
Practice must be added to precept.
The program of action becomes the
expression of the Christian spirit
and the unfolding of growing skill

policy of protection Of the commercial
interests Of a few at the risk of war
for all the people," Mr. Boeckel said.
THE one hope Of preventing the

in the fact that this is a campaign

in every congressional district. The
