FRIDAY EVENING BIBLE
CLASS

ers has been meeting in the
College Building each Friday
evening through the winter
and spring months for an hour
of Bible study. The class was
formed because of the need
felt by some for a grasp of the
great themes and doctrines of
the Old and New Testaments.
The essential purpose of the
class at present is not to ana
lyze limited portions of scrip
ture, but rather to study the
Bible as a single unit, to fit
together into a whole the var
ious parts of a great truth or
doctrine revealed through in

WORDS OF APPRECIATION
FOR ZION PASSION PLAY

June lO, l941
Zion Passion Play
Zion Auditorium
Zion, Illinois
It was our privilege to at
tend the beautiful perform
ance of the Passion Play or ex-
periences of Jesus, the Christ,
and I want to compliment you
upon the fine work you have
done.
The portrayal was excellent,
the acting beyond criticism,
the scenes we'll chosen, and
the backdrops or scenes as fine
as any that could be produced.
Your large stage and the way
the scenery was painted gave
depth as we'll as width and
height to each scene.
You are offering something
which everyone should witness
as no one can go away without
having a finer sense of right
and a desire to follow the steps
of the Master.
Your production showed the
humility, compassion and love
of Jesus and the delineation
was an inspiration.
May I also speak of the we'll
ordered method, the organiza-
ton which took care of the
parking, and looking to each
ones comfort, from arrival
and all through the perform
ance.
Sincerely yours,

LEWIS CALLS
 MINERS OUT
 FROM A. F.L.
Move Made Indicates He Intends 10 Go Politi-
 taIIy Independent

WASHINGTON, Dec l3.-tRl- John L. Lewis has divorced his 100000 miners from the AFL agair in a move viewed by some laboi men today as a sign that he in- tends to play independent in the 1948 Presidential election. The second split between the United Mine Workers and the American Federation of Labor came II years after Lewis first marched them out of the parent body and less than two years af- ter he marched them in again. Ii was no surprise.
 The 67-year-old Lewis has had his hat in his hand ever since the last AFL convention, when the exc cutive council refused to go along with him in an all-out fight against the Communist pro- cision of the Taft Hartley Act.
 The formal break came last night with a typical Lewis gesture oi contempt and typical five syllable word which fell like an epithe' "Disaffiliate."
 Green AFL-We disaffiliate Lewis 12-l2-47.
 These words, scrawled in green crayon on a torn-off half sheet of cheap paper, were all the notice Lewis sent President William Green of the AFL.
 While other union officials de- 5lined to be quoted offhand, sev- erai said a desire by Lewis for political independence next veal probably hastened the end.
 In view of his strained relations with other AFL leaders they said it was likely that he did not want to be committed to whatever poli- tical role may be played by the new AFL "Labors Educational and Political League.
 K. c. Adams, editor of the UNIV Journal, told reporters there has been mo deal" with any labor or ganization to combine forces for the election campaign.

 The Far West has been called upon to fill the role of good neigh bor and business friend of the Far East, Gov. Earl Warren told the conference last night
 There is a great renaissance in the Pacific and beyond it in the Far East" he said.
 Warren included Alaska in the Western Regional Empire" with Alaska''s Governor an approving listener
