sons joined Oklahoma City churches
while the mission was there, and 900
new members were added in Hous-
ton.
Labor groups and ministers in other
cites have found need for closer
cooperation through the mission.
Churches and social agencies are
integrating their work. High school
and college students are showing
greater interest in religion.
There's spirit of greater Chris
tian cooperation in the air-the
desire for unity among the various
denominations is greater than ever
before" DR.. Bader said. Actually,
the mission simply is affording the
churches an opportunity TO express
the unity they already have"
In Pittsburgh, where the mission
just concluded a 7-day program
more than $4,000 high school stu
dents heard the speakers, and the
sessions attracted an average OF
$4,000 persons daily.
Inter-Racial in Character.
The mission is inter-racial and
international in character. It's
speaking teams" include Negroes
Chinese. a Czecho-Slovakian and
such great leaders of religious edu-
cation as DR.. E. Stanley Jones
Miss Muriel Lester. DR.. Adolf Keller
and DR.. Philip Y. Lee.
Many members of the team
speak two or three times day, day
in and day out, as the mission moves
from city to city. But no speaker
is asked to give more than three
talks day.
Following each visit, another mis-
sion staff conducts a home vista
ton program in each city. In Pitts
burgh, for instance, between $50 and
200 churches now are sending lay
men out into homes to invite others
to join their congregations. Another
follow-up program finds other towns
near the cities visited holding their
own evangelistic missions.
"We've never seen anything like
it," said DR.. Bader.

for the beauties Of Christianity,
without being willing to accept the
suffering which it entails. Such
people he likened to oysters, with
protective coating on the outside
and sensibilities on the inside.
The reason a human being was
created with a skeleton inside and
| the sensibilities outside was so that
they could suffer and thus begin
their upward march"
At breakfast conference Of
members of the Christian Mission
and the Washington committee, DR..
Jesse NJ. RAIDER, director of the Or
ganization, said:
! The National Christian Mission
comes to Washington with no polit-
ical platform. According to an off,

deeper level. It seeks to restore the

rent philosophy has broken down
and so many who were confident of
their moorings in this modern day
have been disillusioned that there
is a turning back to eternal things
and to an authoritative message
which is not dependent upon the
immediate circumstances, but
rather upon a Divine judgment
upon life. The Word of God rises
into authority as the word of man
proves inadequate"
Change From Individualism.
In a seminar on Christ in Social
Relations" DR.. Worth M. Tippy, for
20 years director of the Department
of Church and Social Service of the
Federal Council of Churches OF
Christ IN America, said:
The church is no longer a Sun
day institution. 1t has gone on a
seven-day week. Instead of merely
holding services for few hours each
Sunday it is now doing service in
the whole 1853 hours from Sunday
to Sunday. That is a remarkable
change that is taking place in the
concept of what constitutes the re-
Sponsibility of religion"
Dr.. Tippy pointed out: For gen.
erations the teaching of Protestant
pulpits has been individuaistic-
personal salvation, personal moral
ity, and it is still so in many churches
Nor should it be forgotten that the
whole Nation has been Individual
istic. Business itself shares in the
general pattern with the churches
We have all breathed the same
atmosphere. But now Fundamental
thing is taking place, and God is
inspiring it. The understanding OF
what religion is to do is broadening
nightly"
E. Stanley Jones Speaks.
Speaking at Epiphany Episcopal
Church, E. Stanley Jones. noted
evangelist, decried what he termed
the spectator attitude" towarc
Christianity.
'I do not believe that Christ can
be understood from the sidelines,
he said. This spectator attitude is
the reason why so many people who
go to church do not get the power
and lift of Christianity.
He likened many churchgoers tc
spectators at a football game, "whc
are getting their exercise vicarious'
ly." The football crowd would bt
better off if it took the exercise
while the % men on the field
watched, he said Christians woulc
be better off if they participated
more Fundamentally in religious
experience.

Mrs. Roosevelt
Takes Dance Lesson,
But Not Rhumbo

Mrs. Roosevelt today scotched
a rumor that she was learning
the rhunba.
She admitted at her press
conference, however, that she
and Mrs. Henry Morgenthau, jr.,
wife of the Secretary Of the
Treasury. had taken a dancing
lesson-"just plain dancing'-to
find out if any exercise could
be derived therefrom.
Mrs. Roosevelt has never had
time to go back for a second
lesson, but she still thinks
there's more exercise in a good

Lumber and
National Defense

Although the Army has bought
millions of feet of lumber since the
defense program started for the
construction of environments, con-
trary to the usual assumption, these
purchases do not bulk large in re-
lation to annual production, says
Defense" official U. S. publication.
Army purchases up to April ! are
now put at 818.436,000 board feet.
In addition, some contractors pur-
chased direct the lumber they used
for construction work. Trade esti-
mates put the total lumber used
for camp construction at something
less than 2 billion board feet.
Annual production of lumber has
ranged during the last years be
tween ZIG and 1853 billion board
feet, the last figure being an esti-
mate of 1910. Total lumber used in
camp construction to April | would
be between 7 and per cent of
production in 1910.
Last summer and fall the Army
had to 60 into the market and buy
huge quantities of lumber and as a
result there was some sharp price
increases. This advance was strong
| " criticized by defense officials and,
as a result, prices have declined.
| AS a mems of stabilizing the mar
ket and preventing similar up
ward jump in prices at some future
date, stock pile program was
agreed upon. The Army agreed to
buy 266,000,000 board feet. The
producers were to pile and store
