Youth Must Withstand
Commercialized Vice,
Bishop Kern Asserts
Adults Criticized for
Confusing Minds Of
Young People

A warning that the youth of today
must Withstand the attack of highly
commercialized and highly adver-
tised vices" was voiced by Bishop
Paul B. Kern of Nashville last night
at meeting at Foundry Methodist
Church IN conjunction with the
Methodist Advance sessions.
Young people in the audience of
100, however, heard themselves de-
Tended in the Bishops statement:
you did not repeal the Eighteenth
Amendment, and you spent only a
small portion of the $4,000, 900 900
that went for liquor in the country
last year" ~
Adults were criticized by Bishop
Kern for confusing the minds of
modern youth by placing false en-
phasis upon material values. He
also said adult lack of confidence
in the power of idealism is a great
handicap to youth"
The night session climaxed an all
day celebration of the recent unfit
cation of all branches of the Meth
odist Church.
Too Self-Satisfied.
Earlier in the day, Bishop Kern
told another meeting that people are
too satisfied with their present
comfort and beauty of surroundings.
He outlined three-point program
for spiritual development and called
on delegates from the Baltimore
Conference, including Washington
and Maryland, to accept Gods COM
mission to bear a definite mission in
life.
Bishop Kern told his audience
to accept the challenge to regain

Senator Wagner, which eventually
he did, although he was not ac-
quainted with the New York Sena-
tor who sponsored the Labor Rela-
tons Act.
Mr.. Strong said he was born in
Russia and came to this country
with his parents when he was about
8 years old. He received an aca-
demic degree at Rutgers College and
law degree at New York Uni
versity. Asked If he had any legal
experience before entering Govern
ment service, Mr.. Strong said he had
never tried case in court, although
he had been attorney of record in
number Of cases which had not
reached the trial stage.
Pamphlet Distributed.
During the testimony OF another
board review attorney, Raymond
Compton, Chairman Smith sought
to develop whether an unfair labor
charge against an employer had
been based on distribution of a Con-
gressional Record containing a
speech by Representative Hoffman,
Republican of Michigan, assailing
the Labor Board.
Mr.. Compton said there was an
illustrated pamphlet distributed at
the plant containing virtually a
verbatim account of Mr.. Hoffman's

American Federation OF Labor. Mr..
Green charged the board with favor
ing the rival G. I. O. unions and with
failing to carry out the real pur-
poses Of the act. He suggested sew
eral amendments to the law, de-
signed to avert unnecessary delays
IN labor disputes and to assure the
right OF workers to determine their
own collective-bargaining agencies.
Chairman j. Warren Madden and
Edwin S. Smith, board member,
are expected to testify. At the out
set Of the hearings, in December, the
third board member, William M.
Leiserson, was called by the commit
tee counsel, Edmund M. Toland. Mr..
Leiserson told of cases in which he
dissented with the other members
and said he had urged the removal
OF its secretary, Nathan Witt.
Fahy to Get Opportunity.
Charles Fahy, general counsel of
the board, will be given an oppor-
tunity next week to present what
ever evidence he chooses in the
boards behalf. Chairman Madden
and Mr.. Smith are expected to be
among the first defense witnesses.
William Strong, a board review
attorney, testified late yesterday that
when he applied for position with
the agency he was told he would
have to obtain the Endorsement Of

material.
Anderson j. Harrington, another
review attorney, was asked If he
had any practical experience as a
lawyer before taking the board post.
He said he had not. He had been
admitted to the bar q short time
before.
Letter Read to Committee.
A letter was read to the commit
tee from Virgil L. Wolfenberge, bust
ness agent Of the International
Brotherhood Of Transfers, Chauf-
feurs, Stablemen and Helpers of
America, to DR.. Edwin A. Elliott,
regional director of the board at

fervor. Another point brought out
was for personal sacrifice which
would intensity the spiritual life
of the church and its members. He
also indicted the willingness of man
kind to submit to mediocrity and
declared the individual must strive
to break out Of the rut Of life and
seek spiritual and personal advance
ment.
Asks Obedience to God.
Bishop Glare Purcell of Charlotte,
N. c., declared the individual could
no more save the world than he
could have created 1t. He said ours
is to seek God, obey Him, discover
Him and do His will in the world.
God is life. Ours is to do His will
instead of following mans DESIRE"
he said.
In touching on worldwide unrest
of today Bishop Purcell said 1t was
the lack of God" which causes war
and this is an expression of troubled
conditions. He stated there was no
remedy for war or local problems
until mankind sought and came to
God.
The session here is one of a series
