vention of the International Young
Peoples Convention Of the Church
of God opened last night in the First
Congregational Church, Tenth and
G streets NV.
I'VE want God in human life.
What he stands for must be
reality" said DR.. Adam w. Miller,
Anderson, Ind, convention presi-
dent. in a keynote speech. DR.. Mil
Ter stressed that only by making
religious values absolute In their own
hearts could members Of the conven-
ton hope to influence their COM
munitieS.
There can be no compromise be-
tween Christianity and the forces
now at war in the world, DR.. Miller
said. He asserted that to attain this
ultimate faith that Gods way would
work.
SIOSSCS
After Dr. Millers address, crosses
were distributed to the delegates as
they joined in singing The Old
Rugged Cross" led by the Rev. w.
Dale Oldham, music chairman.
Then the church was darkened and
hundreds OF crosses surrounding one

we come not to bind ourselves
to narrow bigoted sectarian gospel"
he said, "but to the freedom OF
Christianity"
Mr.. Newberry said the youth of
today hunger for wisdom, insight
and truth" Ue asserted that hard
and radical preaching was needed
to convey what Jesus has to say in
this crazy world"

and by choir made up from the
l65 members of the Washington
group present at the convention.
Among the group were delegates

Christianity Is Called
keystone OF Defense
By the Associat-' Press.

BY the AsSoclat~' Press.
MADISON, Va, Aug. 24.-From a
pioneer pulpit. national Lutheran
leaders told 1000 members of the
denomination today that active
practice of Christianity has been
the foundation of this Nations
strength and now must be the key
stone Of its defense.
Our Nation Is in danger more
from inward threats than from the
outward. and needs a tie with God"
said the Rev. DR.. Frederick H
Knubel of New York, president of
the United Lutheran Church In
America.
His statement was reiterated in
various forms by other speakers at
the bicentennial celebration of Heb
ron Evangelical Lutheran Church,
built by early settlers in 1749 atop
an oak-dotted knoll in the rolling
Piedmont Virginia country.
The Rev. DR.. Ralph Long. execu-
tive secretary of the National Lu-
theran Council. pointed to Lutheran
pioneers such as Pastor Peter Muh-
lenburg. who served at Woodstock
before the Revolution, and suggest
ed that the modern generation
should emulate their devotion to the
Bible and the church and their
willingness to work for their faith.
In similar inspirational vein,
Senator Byrd of Virginia held that
true patriotism means true and
God fearing religion.
Too much of our patriotism is
only lip service" he said. Amer
lea basically needs to develop a
finer and better character in its
citizenry. Our country does not
need more laws to regulate our
going to and fro, but needs more
religion in everyday transactions. !"

The reason she Joined the Moth
ers, she said, was because she could
get no action from her representa-
tives in Congress. They simply
hold their hands to their ears to
hear what Roosevelt says for them
to do" she declared.
I'm here to do what can to op-
pose this conscription bill and to
prevent our boys from going abroad
to fight" she said, because the
Presidents promise doesn't mean
anything to me-"
A Baltimore member of the Silver
Star Mothers of America, Inc, who
wouldn't give her name because
her husband has a State job and
might lose it. She has a 24-year-
old son.
I'm against this conscription
BILL" she said. ITS just Com
munism in the guise of national
defense. 1t would wipe out all our
liberties. The effort to take in all
men from 18 to "a shows the whole
purpose, which Is. to control the
people. We're all paying our own
expenses. There's nothing behind
this but the will of mothers deter
mined to save their country. There
are 50 few real representatives Of
the people here in Congress"
Mrs. Della FaheT, Cleveland men,
Evening star., 1940-08-25

"We're protesting conscription,
she said, because we don't believe
it's only for defense. We are for
defense but not that type. I asked
a Senator why we can't have volun.
tary enlistment and he said But
don't you see how futile that will be
then when we declared war.
We don't believe they're not drag
ging us into war. We were fooled
in 1914 and we're not going to be
fooled again"
All the women interviewed were
gray-haired and appeared to range
in age from 40 to so. Most of them
wore simple wash dresses, though a
few were fashionably dressed in
black. Some had a hard time ex-
pressing their thoughts but most of
them were positive in their state
mentS.
Passed Hat at Meetings.
National President Decker dis
closed the following in answer to
questions about the founding, pur-
poses, financial arrangements and
procedure of the mothers:
Last September, Mrs. Decker says,
she wrote letter to a Detroit news
paper to the effect that there could
be prosperity without war If mem-
bers of Congress would concentrate
on domestic problems instead of
foreign affairs. She got bundles Of
mail and telephone calls in response,
and called an organization meeting
in October.
To pay for meeting places, the hat
was passed among the audience. An
ONCE was set up, for which the rent
