At the Auditorium John H.

Final impetus will be given to the pension fund movement tomorrow -at seven luncheon conferences throughout the city, which will be .addressed by trustees and other administrative offi- cers of the fund. 4 ressing the convention on the pension movemenit, which is being urged to revitalize the ministry of the brotherhood, Mr. Pierce declared today that no apologies are necessary in this crusade. Money Taboo Attacked. “There is- & disposition to apologize on the money question,” he said. “Most interviews having to do with money are introduced with an apology. In my opinion, our present national dilemma may be traced directly to this apologetic regarding this' world’s goods and the reluctance to make it a major issue in the advancement of the King- dcm of God. I have heard ministers of the gospel of Jesus declare from their pulpits that financial messages were taboo, yet the Master himself majored on the discussion of man’s relationship to his worldly possessions.” Mr. Pierce declared that the crusgde for the pension fund has a more sig- nificant meaning than & mere appeal to every man's conviction, “It means the restoring of our morale at a time of great discouragement,” he said. “This is 8 crusade for the restoration of our fighting spirit.” One-Minute Talks Made. * A feature of today's session was one- minute addresses to the convention by missionaries in attendance here at the ‘World Convention of the Disciples of Christ, which opens Sunday night. From Africa, the audience heard what was being done in the cannibal congo and other districts of the mis- sion field by Mr. and Mrs. Roger T. Clarke, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis A Hurt, Mr. and Mrs. £ A.

Corey of Indianapolis, acting president of the United Christian Missionary Society, told the internation- al convention of Disciples of Christ last night that the brotherhood faces “an imminent crisis” in its missionary work. In two addresses before large audi- ences, in the Washington Auditorium and Constitution Hall, Mr. Corey said in the course of his report on the con- dition of the society that the organiza- tion faced a deficit this year of $712,- 000. He called attention to the fact gm one-minute talks were Dr. Mary gdon, Mr. and Mrs. Donald McGravran, J. E. Moody, Dr. Nichoson, Miss Virginia Young, . Elizabeth Lutz and Dr. and Mrs. Hafry C. Saum.

Cooper of Ohio, who had been scheduled for an address this morning, was unable to come to Wash- ington and his place was taken on the program by Mr. Pierce, who spoke in support of the pension fund. Enlargement of the brotherhood’s facilities for caring for the aged and the needy was advocated before the convention this morning by F. M. Rogers, the department of benevolence of the United Christian Missionary Society. Mr. Rogers told his audience that the brotherhood Rad been content with six homes for children, all.of the same :ypz, and six for the aged of the same “For & number of years I have strongly felt and suggested that the equipment for our benevolent ministry is inadequate,” he sald, “not so much #0 with respect to the number of homes, for those we have cover quite well the , areas to be served, but they are all of the same type, whereas what we need in order to do & well rounded benevolent work is homes of different types.” This is necessary in the ministry to ehildren, he said, and especially true with regard to the ministry to the aged. Mr. Rogers urged establishment of three types of homes for the aged to supplant the charitable or strictly benevolent homes now maintained: The benevolent that other Protestant denominations have decreased their missicnary ex- penditures since the World War. He urged, however, that the brotherhood make up the deficit and enlarge its pro- gram rather than curtail it. | Stresses World Work. “We have a world mission along with all evangelical bodies,” he _said, “to unitedly keep the missionary fires burn- ing. In America, we cannot be supine and resigned, but we must make good our claim of love for New Testament Christianity by being the first com- munion to restore and increase the| missionary passion and gifts in thesc| hard days.” Appearing on the program in the | auditorium with Dr. Corey was Dr.| Luther H. Weigle, dean of the Divinity School of Yale University. Dean Weigle, | who is one of the eminent educators | in the Nation, addressed himself to the theme “The World Message and Mis- sion of Christianity.” Pagan morals of the present have no | place in social or religious reasoning, | he said. He expressed the opinion that | the “befuddled minds of adults and not the passion of youth” is to blame for a | prevalent irreligion. Dean Weigle stat- | ed that despite present conditions and | apparent evidence to the contrary, it | appeared to him that “we are on the eve of a great religious revival.” “This is no time for Christians to hesitate,” he declared, “no time to move | 1t is up the church stands.” The irreligion of the day should be the chief concern of all churches, the Yale professor said. “Church problems at home and abroad are practically the same,” he added. “The way to un- derstand our foreign problems is to un- derstand our problems at home. evangelism through better education is the need of the world today.” Cites Difficult Transition Period. Dr. Corey emphasized that the| ” in world mis- | ficult transition peri sionary effort. He said it would be fool- ish to plan large new something has been done to reduce the deficit. “Our immediate necessity.” he asserted, “is to find a way to support | the work for this and the coming year | and at the same time not increase this deficit.” “Our people who love missions give as generously and as lovingly as any | people in the world,” Dr. Corey wm-{ mented, “yet I suppose,” he added, “that of all Christian bodies in America we have more churches and more -indi- E viduals absolutely indifferent to Q.hel world mission of Christianity than any | other, and our slowness in coming to a | world missionary consclence has largely | been because of our lack in united mis- | sionary effort.” | Continuing, Dr. Corey explained the | deficit of the society. “Since the be- | Thome, the self-supporting type of home, | §inning of the United Society.” he said, | and the sanitarium type. {“we have been struggling to keep the | work on an even keel when the re-| Trend Is Criticized. “After all these years of fairly suc- ceipts did not increase and when the | purchasing power of the dollar dropped | STRAWN BLAMES TARIFF Program of Disciples of Christ Convention FRIDAY EVENING.

Charges of “padding” the census count for Asbury Park and Long Branch were made several weeks ago. After & preliminary survey by Emmons K. Ells- worth, chief of the field division of the Census Bureau, the investigation was placed in the hands of the Department of Justice. It was charged that Asbury Park officials employed census enumer- ators who falsified returns and at- tempted to secure approval for these figures from the Census Bureau. Report by Prosecutor. However, Philip Forman, United | States district attorney for New Jer- | sey, advised the Department of Justice today he had found no grounds for prosecuting Asbury Park, N. J. city officials and census enumerators on charges of falsifying population returns in the 1930 census. | Announcement of the official census | count was expected at the Census Bu- reau to bring protests from Asbury Park. Rivalry exists between the neighboring resort cities, it was said, for the title of the largest city in Mon- | mouth County. The bureau today also gave out the | revised population figures for the city of Houston, Tex., to be 292,349 for 1930, as compared with 138,276 in 1920. Memphis Figure Revised. ‘The revised figure for Memphis. ‘Tenn., is given as 253,136, as compared with 162,351 in 1920.

Mr. Rogers asserted that benevolence cannot be treated as an ordinary mis- | sionary program. “In this day,” he sald, “there 1s increasing concern on the part of all men. There is tendency of the church to relegate to civil, fraternal and other philantrophic agencles the care of the poor and the sick. In doing 80, the church is not only shirking one of her greatest responsibilities, but she is forfeting one of the most effective ministries for the winning of men.” Mr. Rogers told the convention that his experience indicated to him that ordinary methods and ordinary presen- tations of the missionary program will not suffice in bringing about giving commensurate with the needs of the brotherhood’s benevolent homes. He said that in order that the program of benevolence might succeed, there must be not only a national program but regional, State and local programs. “Lack of such co-ordination is in part responsible for the present inadequate support,” he said. — Deficit Is Lamented, Stating to his audience that he was speaking “ tely,” but that he was of the great responsibility of the church in its benevolent work, Mr. Rogers said he had no confidence in any program for benevolence that is not specific, that is merely a national of promotion, #practically to holiday effort.” “It i a sad commentary on the benevolent attitude o’“t‘!:‘:t churches of | Christ,” he .dued.” y Luuu- ofl’z- ings ual at year after mfi w a deficit 34 $20,000 or operating just 12 benevolent - hl:umkoeandfiocd It was impossible to greatly reduce | the budget without disaster to the work | established throughout the world and since times were good and our country increasing in wealth by leaps and | bounds, it seemed only natural that | gifts would soon increase to meet the | advanced expenses of the work.
