Protestant Newspaper
Planned in Bid for
Spiritual Leadership
BY the Asseeiossd Press

KANSAS CITY. May ll.-Prot-
estantism today prepared to rally
behind its first all-denominational
newspaper for a united voice in q
bid for worldwide spiritual lead
ership.
The groundwork for establish
ment Of the newspaper was laid
by 200 Protestant leaders here.
/ They were told last night 1t was
UP to Professionalism to shoulder
the responsibility of a worldwide
spiritual revival.
DR.. Robert w. Searle of the
Protestant Council of New York
City added. however. that Prot
estantism first needed unity OF
voice and the best way to get II
was through a newspaper con-
troled by all denominations.
| Newspaperman Backs Plan.
There is no more imperative
need in American Professionalism. u
he said. than the need for a ma
tional Protestant newspaper"
Gideon Seymour, executive edi-
tor of the Minneapolis Star and
Tribune newspapers, agreed an
all-denominational newspaper now
was timely.
This plan." he said. lis brought
forward at a time when there is
more talk than ever before of
Protestant unity and in a new
dark age In which we are cropping
for a basis of world order. The
church faces its biggest task since
the Middle Ages"
Christianity. DR.. Searle said,
has the answer TO world problems
and professionalism must proclaim
this Christian answer ."
Criticizes Catholic Stand.
"The voice of Rome has re-
Gently forbidden its clergy and
laity to participate in mixed con-
ferences where matters Of faith
are discussed" DR.. Searle said
at one point in his talk.
"It Is impossible to conceive
how there could be common ef-
fort for the rebuilding Of society
where those who stood shoulder
to shoulder in the common task
could not discuss the faith that
inspired them"
He insisted professionalism was
best suited to carry on spiritual
revival since 1t does not aspire
to the identity Of the church and
state" and is committed to free
dom from dogmatic authority"
He defended division among
Protestants. saying 1t was a by
product of freedom, but he called
for a united voice and recon-
mended an all-denominational
newspaper as the best way to
accomplish 1t.
To Build Privately Owned Paper.
Steps were taken yesterday to
buy a privately-owned Protestant
newspaper. Under plans 1t would
be converted into an all-denom-
national publication. the first OF
its kind in Professionalism.
A committee Of the religious
leaders met with the owners. DR..
and Mrs. Homer Gettle and Mr..
and Mrs. David Hogg OF Fort
Wayne, Ind. Terms under which
the newspaper would be bought
were not disclosed. i
4 Or. J. w. Montgomery Of New
York, secretary Of the committee
in charge of planning for the
newspaper. estimated the project
would cost 100000.
The newspaper, now known as
the Protestant Voice. would be
moved from Fort Wayne to New
York with the all-denominational
control to begin about the first
Of the year.
A board Of directors is to be
named today by the Protestant
leaders here for the three-day
conference. The directors will
manage a nonprofit organization
to be set UP to run the newspaper.

AS a Man Thinketh

AS wan nlnkctn
Why are we so often troubled a.
bout things that never happen? We
fear a thousand things that have no
reality, except in our imaginations.
Unhappy thoughts really operate
upon our minds until they make us
physically and mentally sick.
We know that there are millions
of disease germs everywhere that
are ready to pounce on material
that invites them and really pro-
duce illness. Some people have
dwelt so constantly on the subject
of germs and their dangers that
they become unbalanced mentally.
I knew school teacher who did
this. She had put so. many disin-
fectants on her hair to destroy
imaginary germs, that her hair pre-
sented most peculiar appearance
ranging from grey to various shad-
es Of red.
A happy mood of health is very
discouraging to disease. Some peo-
pie worry about the most prepos-
terous things that they fear might
happen to them. 1t keeps them mis-
cradle and invites sickness.
Obscure literature is being pour
ed out like a flood tide and people
are degrading and injuring them
selves by reading it or by witness
ing low plays. A woman once said
to me, "why, yes, I read that book.
It was so bad, that 1 had to put it
down for awhile before l could fin
ish it." Why do you make a sewer
of filth of your mind?" l asked,
disgustedly.
The fact that "Tobacco Road"
ran so long in New York is very un-
complimentary to the taste of the
theatre goers in that great city.
People who enjoy filthy books, jok-
es and plays have their counter
parts in the buzzards that gorge
themselves on carrion. The latter
do serve useful purpose, for they
fed on rotting flesh and thus clean
the atmosphere of its stencil.
There are so many beautiful
and inspiring things to uplift and
give us happiness, that it is a
shame for anyone to tnrn to the
ugly and the evil for entertainment.
There are lovely books today that
do not fill our minds with fear, pes
sibism and despair. 1t is refreshing
to read them. They give US thoughts
that operate to bring health and
happiness.
Books that constantly depict
crime and evil and endeaver to de-
stroy our Faith in God should be
Stunned like a plague. They bring
fear and disease to those who read
them. Such books crumble charac-
ter.
The multiplicity Of crime stories
that are pouring out over the radio
are doing irreparable injury to the
youth of our land. The responsible
citizens should arouse themselves
and demand that they be replaced
by wholesome and clean stories. We
would probably have fewer delin-
quents among the Juveniles
