-1 . CLUBWOMEN MAKE - HOME CHIEF TOPIC General Federation Session | to Seek Answer to Mod-- f& ernRestlessness. By the Associated Press. 1 ATLANTIC CITY, May 25.— Clubwomen of Ame night will hegin a series of 10-day discussions on their work as home builders, which, in the opinion of Mrs. John D. Sherman, national president. will enable them to chart safer courses through the surg- ing tides of restlessness. g The eighteenth blennial convention of the General Federation of Women's Clubs will be formally opened on the steel pier, with Representatjve Charles A. Eaton'of New Jersey delivering the principal address on “Woman's Influ- ence in the Life of Today.” Mrs. Sher- man will preside. Home Will Be Keynote. The American home will be the key note of the convention discussions, and the work and study of all departments have been conducted In that light. Mrs. Sherman regards the gathering as a meeting for the discussion of home building problems in the same manner that clothiers, steel workers and persons in every other profession gather to find a common ground and to share their experience and study. Little opposition was expected 10 a resolution for drastic prohibition en- forcement which is to be presented to- morrow morning with those for a sec- ond indorsement of the Federal child Tabor amendment. uniform marriage 2nd divorce laws, “know your courts,” Federal department of education and condemning reducing methods other than those offered by reliable physi- cians. Opposition to Amendment. There was, however, much talk of a determined fight against a re indorsement of the child labor antend- ment, with the States of Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Florida most fre- quently mentioned as leaders of the opposition. Delegates from the T.ouisville, Ky.. club were planning 2 campaign against the power of the hiennial convention to bind the indi- vidual clubs in this matter, but other opponents signified that they would abide by the decision of the ma- Jority. “know you court resolu- rovides for a study of courts town by club members, who will - report on whether judges are dry or wet and the ages and classes of offenders coming before them. New Policy Proposed. Possibility of a withdrawal of the federation from activities of the woman's_joint congressional commit- tee at Washfngton was foreseen in consequence of a resolution to be of fered tomorrow by Mrs, Gilbert F. Davis of Vermont, representing the legislation department of the federa- tion. “The resolution proposes that the federation adopt a trial policy, for one vear, of indorsing new measures in principle rather than the bills in their entirety, and that the board of di- rectors take action for the establish- ment in Washington of a permanent legisiative bureau. Mrs. John D. Sherman. federation president, today announced that the executive board had definitely declined to have anything to do with the Phil- ippine waif movement, seeking to raise $2,000,000 among women of the United States for education and care of illegitimate childr n in the Western islands. “It's a man’'s job,” said Mrs. Sher- man.

Miss Charl Williams, field secretary of the tional Education Association, charge of the legislative program of that organization in Washington, and former president of the N. F. A. spoke on the Curtis-Reed eduycation bill before members of the conven- tion at a tea given in the afternoon by Mrs. Gilbert I, Davis, chairman of the department of legislation for the federation, and Mrs. Frederick P. Bagley, vice chairman of the national committee for the department of education, in compliment 'to Mrs. John D. Sherman, president.of the General Federation. “The Curtis-Reed education bill, now pending in Congress, which: pro- vides for aseparate departnient of education under a cabinet head.” said Miss Williams, “has been hearrily indorsed by the General Federation of Women's Clubs, the first great na- tional organization to give it un. qualified support. “The removal of the Feddral aid clause from the present bill,"a fea- ture which wag objectionable to many in former bills, automatically removes the greatest opposition to the issue. “No_single supporter or’ group of supporters of this bill desires that the Federal Government shall control education in States or local com- munities,” said Miss Williams in con- cluding. Legislative Work Reviewed. Mrs. Kate Trenholm Abrams, vice chairman of the federation depart- ment of legislation, addressed the State legislative chairmen in a con- ference which preceded the tea yes- terday afternoon, her subject being the woren’s joint congressional com- mittee at Washington, of which she is the federation representative. “The strength of the joint congres- sional committee,” said Mrs. Abrams, “lies in the great accomplishment of the women who have been responsible for the adoption of new, twentieth century methods of co-operative work, Including ‘round table discussions, businesslike conferences on controver- sial subjects, the recognition that there are two sides to every question, and last, but not least, the develop- ment of a method of compromise. “'Never before has such an experi- ment been tried by the women, and the fact that the joint congressional committee has lived and grown stronger each year has proved that it is no longer an experiment, but a very necessary part of the club life of the women of America. _ “For six vears the representatives in Washington have worked together without friction. There is no doubt that there has been built up by this co-operative method a great construc- tive force, whose power is even now being felt where important legisia- tion is concerned.” MRS.

Dr. Riley Tells Baptist Union Association Is “Enemy of God.” * A sudden and vitriolic attack on the Y. M. C, A, charging it with being “one of the greatest enemies of the Christian church,” delivered by Rev. Dr. Riley of Minneapolis, vice president of the convention, last night brought the fourth annual coavention of the Baptist Bible Union of North America to a stormy close. The sensational charge came as the climax of a day in which noted fundamentalist leaders of the Bap- tist Church hurled outspoken charges of materiallsm and rationalism at “the Rockefellers, the Dr. Harpers" and other forces of liberalism in the church. Dr. John Roach Straton, noted crusader for orthodoxy, and Dr. Frank M. Goodchild, both of New York, spoke. Fight Planned at Parley. ‘Though the regular sessious of the unfon ended last night, an active organization will be maintained throughout the six-day sessions of the General Convention of the North- ern Baptist Church. Dev. Dr. T. T. Shields of Toronto, Canada, presi- dent of the union, announced that nightly meetings of the union would be held at the Raleigh Hotel. Dr. Riley made his charge last night virtually without an introduc- tory remark: “I regret deeply having to speak against institutions that I once loved and in which I have myself served for many years. But the Young Men's Christian Assoclation has Le- become independent of the church administration and has departed in spirit and purpose from which it was intended for. “It has become a veritable enemy of God and constitutes one of the greatest enemies of the Christian Church today!" Instantly & murmur of prote: swept the auditorium, and a gre: shout of “No!" burst from angry throats. Shouts His Reiteration. Hesitating for a second, Dr. Riley shouted a reiteration of his charge, and as the audience calmed down ex- plained his complaint against the Y. M. C. A, this time including the . W.C. A, b ving no halls were provided in the " buildings “where appeals for salvation of souls” could be made. This brought a heavy round of applause. Dr. Riley then modified his statenfent to make “some exceptions” among the Y. M. C. A’'s to his charge of being anti- Christian, and said: “I don’t aim to condemn the “Y" as such, but for what it has grown to be. It is not responsible in itself, even for its ex- istence. We church folk brought it into being. We must admit that it has missed the, way. It has missed the way because the church has neg- lected fit. “The Y. M. and the Y. W. no longer are essentlal organizations. There is but one institution which God put into the world, and that is the church. The church that is rightly conducted will have work for all the young men of the church family, and the church that is rightly conducted will have work for the young women to do.” He described at length a situation in which he sald denominational schools were forced to teach liberal istic and mi listic doctrines and hypotheses in order to get gifts of money from the “Rockefellers of the Nation.” B At the conclusion of his address, which was a philippic against the spread of modernism in denomina- The Semi-Annual Clearance Has an Interest for You —because we’ve reduced our entire sock of Spring Suits and Topcoats—Fashion Park and Mode—in- cluding also the Four-piece Suits.

Rev. J. Frank Norris of Fort Worth, Tex., vice president of ihe union for the South,, emphasized in his address on ‘“The Beast of sentative Upshaw of Georgia intro- duced Dr. Norris. Under the terms of the new South- ern convention resolution every repre. sentative of the Baptist church of the South, he said, will be asked to’*'sign on the dotted line” the pledge of their renunciation of all modernist beliefs. Brande Modernist an Infidel. Dr. Straton placed the modernist definitely in the category of an infidel. A great force is needed in the church, he said, “'to cut this cancer from out the Baptist body,” and declared that revolutionary changes in policies and personnel of the Baptist church will be necessary to repudiate “this usurper.” Dr. Straton described many ex- amples of modernism in New York. He condemned ‘“‘charity prize fights” ccnducted by ‘“official representatives of Protestant, Catholic and Hebrew lchurchel of New York.” John D. Rockefeller, jr.. apparently has been the transforming influence in the life of Dr. Harry Emerson Fos- dick, he said. Dr. Straton explained in detail what he termed the paralyzing influence of modernistic doctrines being spread by foreign missionaries of the Baptist church, and declared the majority of the board of foreign missions were in spirit modernists. Dr. Goodchild explained the biblical basis of the rigid insistence of ‘‘true Baptistd” upon the doctrine of baptism by immersion as a requisite for mem- bership in the church, and declared his conviction that baptism by immer- sjon was essential to salvation. He explained the proposed amendment to the constitution of the Northern Bap- tist Church which would require bap- tism by immersion.

Dr. Brougher pointed to Christ as the “‘common denominator,'who couM | siol unite all these factions into a militant organization for Christianity.” He in- sisted that a Babtist must recognize and acknowledge “the absolute deity of Jesus Christ without any evasion or mental reservation whatsoever,” and that only through such a solu- tion can there be harmony and co- operation among Northern Baptists. “Babtists will bow to no other au- thority than Christ,” he concluded. The keynote speaker declared with emphasis that the need for a Savior — of the play, which features Leneta Lane, Romaine Callender and Kathryn Givney in roles that are among the best these sterling performers have portrayed in stock in the Capital.

Dr. Brougher was among a_group of members of the Northern Baptist Church_commonly called “middieof- the-roaders,” who are fostering a modified amendment which, the funda- mentalists say, would leave the way open to a policy of “open member- ship,’ including in membership, in dilon to immersed members, those who were baptized in some other form. The original amendment, under a report made by the law committee, would be rendered inoperative because it is “so in conflict with both the dec- laration and the act of incorporation of the Baptist Church.” This law com- mittee reported the following state- ment after its meeting last month in Chicago: ‘“Believing that the Northern Bap- tist Convention ought to devote its energies more completely to increased efficlency in its efforts to evangelize the world, in order that the day may be hastened when the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, we recommend that when the amendment proposed at the convention in Seattle is presented for consideration at the ‘Washington convention it be laid upon the table; and that the executive committee be requested to present to the convention for adoption the fol- lowing standing resolution: “The Northern Baptist Convention recog- nizes its constituency as consisting solely of those Baptist churches in That Keep .
