Most of these will thmmn tonight after the -am, which will be featured a an irational address by Hugh Lellan of Winchester, Ky. \ on the question, “Christian Education in the Home,” Mrs. White declared that the real success of the church and the schools depends upon the character of the home. “If the home defenses are weak the community, the Nation and the world are in di r,” she said. “If the home defenges strong the Nation is secure.” Scores Neglect of Parents. Mrs. White scored the neglect of parents in regard to the moral and tual culture of their children. less this neglect is speedily arrested, she said, it suggests alarming appre- hensions from future generations. Dr, Hopkins of New York is general lccreu:y of the World Sunday School Assoctaf In his address on “The ‘Task Ind Trend of Christian Education in the Sunday School” he called atten- tion to the fact that 1030 marks the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the !\m&lytuhmlyl ""i‘x’&';.f““: TR Appropriate celebra o oc- casion are being observed in -varlous parts of the world, sald Dr. Hopkins. '’Among the most significant has been the erection this year of two bronze m?mghold of Sundly School work in North America, and the other in Glou- cester, England, the home of Mr. Raikes, and the city in which he or- ganized the first Sunday School. . Dr. Hopkins declared that with the proper training of childhood and youth the church can be assured of that Christian life which is so essential “The Sunday school not only accom- plishes that,” he pointed out, “but has ven itseif to be as well the most itful fleld the church has for co- operative endeavor.” Throughout the world there are 37.- 000,000 Sunday school scholars, Mr. Hopkins stressed, and the growth has been lbout. nwoooo each year in the four In the United States 1916 th.rounh 1926, Sunday school enrollment showed a growth of 5l per cent, yet there were 27,000,000 young le under 19 of age, Dr. Hop- said, outs of all agencies of religious education. Blames Students for Revolt. Allusion to the revolutionary situa- $ion in Bouth America was made last night in an address by Samuel Guy In- man of New York, who said that, with the lln‘le exception of Brazil, nudenu have been the initiators. “This is of significance,” he said, “since South American. students are the leaders of against fanaticism, imperlum'n During the last too lems to have found or to offer spiritual problems.” At the conclusion of his address, Dr. fainted and had to be carried stage.

Washington Newspaper Man Active in Christian Church. Bcarcely a day has g'-:ud dur|n| the conventions of the D! that a score or more of pcuons hlve come into the press room to up Paul Moore of Washington, voluntary chairman of the local press committee, the son and grandson .of twn men whose names always will be identified with the brotherhood in this country, the one as a_preacher of outstanding service and nhmty, the other as a generous bene- factor. Few persons have had a greater hold on the faith of Disciples than Mr. Moore's father, the late Rev. Dr. Wil- liam Thomas Moore, whose death four years ago in Florida at the age of 94 ended more than 60 years of active work in behalf of the brotherhood movement. Dr. Moore was the son-in- law of R. M. Bishop, ex-Governor of Ohio after the Civil War and former mayor of Cincinnati during Lincoln’s time, whose home and whose wealth were dlways open to brethren of the Churches of Christ. During his mayor- ship Mr. Bishop entertained Edward, Prince of Wales, on his American visit, and of his daughter it was said that she was perhaps the only young woman in the United States who refused to dance with the prince, because of her religious convictions. House “Preachers’ Home.” Gov. Bishop's_house in_Cincinnati was called the “Preachers’ Home,” and he himself was known as “Uncle Dick” to the many circuit riders of the church who paid him prolo; visits, He was n man of strong religious beliefs, as was his wife, who was president of the Home for the Priendless in Cin t and mlvfiy engaged in church and mission Butithuthemo(thebelmd Dr. Moore, whose memory is still fresh in the minds of all active Disciples, that Mr. Moore is conspicuous at the sessions in Washington, although he is well known for his own frequent writ- ings in various publications of the Jrotherhood. Born in a log cabin in Henry County, Ky., Dr. Moore’s career as a youth was not unlike that of Abraham Lincoln, who taught himself to read from bor- rowed books, a Bible and newspaper wrappings. Like Lincoln, Dr. Moore studied by the light of plne knots in plwe of candles or by the glow of log fires. This self-educated youth, whose ser- mons were to have a spiritual effect upon the entire body of Churches of Christ, did not get a chance to enter school until he was 17 years old and it was not long after that before he was teaching a class. In later years he taught many men who since became famous. Among his pupils was the late Champ Clark of Missouri, former Speaker of the House of Representa- tives, Of his teacher, Speaker Clark said that no other person so influenced his religious and moral life. Dr. Moore’s father was a Presbyterian and his mother was a Baptist. As he grew old enough to t.hlnk xor hlmlelf could not reconcile or why a family should be dlvided rell- giously. It was for this reason that he came into the Christian brotherhood. He read himself into the Disciples move- ment by studying the New ent. About that time, it was said, a news- fell into his hands an article on the lines the advocacy of Alexander Campbell. Thlt clinched his thoughts and rather settled his interest in entering the ministry. Bethany College Student. Later the young man went to Beth- any College, in West Virginia, founded by Campbell, and was largely responsi- ble for lar endow- ment movement lur this iple_insti- tution. graduation he was called to Christian Church in Lex- ington, Ky., but refused it to take the place of pastor in a smaller church at Frankfort because of its opportunities for continuing his studies. ‘The five years he spent in that little church formed the real basis of his de- ent and success as a preacher. vil war was threa between the States then, and Dr. Moore, a strong Union man, preached a sermon against secession as Kentucky Legislature was about to vote on this question. Dr. Moore’s sermon was largely credited with keepln: Kentucky in the Union, for & number of the legis- lators who had heard it voted with the small majority against secession. At the end of the Civil War Dr. Moore became Bm(mor of sacred lit- erature at the University of Kentucky, now Transylvania, where Champ Clark was one of his students, as well as of that region. He accepted a call to nclnmtl and while engaged in 12 ministry there he married Mayor Buhupl daughter.

Work in England. Later Dr. Moore went to England with the idea of trying to develop the same Christian movement as in the United States. He held meetings at South Port and established a church there, Going to Liverpool, he rented a public hall and secured many converts. London, the great metropolis of the world at that time, was his next aim. | There he established a religious news- paper and became pastor of the West London Tabernacle. But the lure of work in the United States prompted his return to this country after some years and he estab- lished a Bible class at the University of Missouri, at Columbia. This was perhaps the first Bible class ever founded at a State university. ‘When he wasn’t preaching during his more than 60 years in the ministry Dr. Moore was writing. He was the author of a score of books and his published sennam are widely read in the church today. For a while he edited the cnmmn Quarterly. He to the time of his death in !’lorld- and up to his 85th year was an active preacher. His son, Paul Moore, is a veteran newspaper correspondent of Washing- ton. He acquired his editorial training while with his father in London, where he attended King's College and the college of the University of London. Later he went to the Sorbonne, at the University of Paris, and came back and helped his father in his editorial work in_England. During a long journalistic careér Mr. Moore has “covered” Congress and the British Parliament and during the World War he served with the War Trade Board. He also has written ex- tensively for Christian publications. During the conventions of the Dis- ciples of Christ in Washington Mr. Moore has been the power behind the scenes in the press room. He is now with the National Academy of Sciences and is one of the most active and interested lay workers of the Christian Church in Washington. CHRISTIAN BUILDERS GIVE PIN TO HOOVER President Made Honorary Member| of Only Incorporated Bible Class in U. 8. President Hoover is now an honorary | member of Christian Men Builders Inc, & Bible class of Indianapolis, Ind. | by virtué of a gold class pin presented | to him during the Disciples of Christ Convention. The presentation was made on behalf | of the class by Mead W. Powsll, who was delegated to represent the class at the Wi gton sessions. In addition to the President, a pin also was given to Mr. and Mrs. Wendorf of Brisbane, Australia, who traveled th: farthest distance, 12,000 miles, to attend the convention. Christian Men Builders is the only Bible class in the country, it is believed, that is incorporated. It is affiliated with | the Third Christian Church of Indian- | apolis and is one of the largest in the | country. Started by Merle Sidener, a business man, with five members in| 1913, it had an average Sunday lwznd-‘ ance this year of 462 and an enrollment of 1,300 members. It is directed by ellh'. prominent business men. One of ite members recently was awarded a medal for attending 747 Sundays with- out missing one.

NAVY BOARD MAKES BUILDING PROGRAM Construction Have Not Been Made Public. By the Associated Press. A new building program, to bring the United States Fleet up toward the lim- its of the London treaty, has been drawn by the Navy General Board. It is to be studied by President Hoo- ver as a basis for recommendations to Congress, which, at the next session, is to take up the question of naval ap- propriations. The exact contents of the board’s program have not been made public, leaving undetermined just how far its members have gone in adopting the economy ideas of the ad- ministration. The rate at which new building and replacement would be un- dertaken under the plan remained un- disclosed. There has been authoritative indica- tions, however, that the board favored building up to the full limit of 135,000 tons for aircraft carriers. Including one ship just contracted for, the pres- ent tonnage is 79,800, in three ships. Several vessels of comparatively small tonnage are to be built. Plan Modernization. Modernization of the battleships New Mexico, Mississippi and Idaho, which have not yet been equipped with the latest armament, gun controls and de- fensive armor, is provided for. Other battleships also would be rejuvenated during the next several years. Submarine construction recommended is understood to involve replacement of some 25,000 tons of obsolescent S and R type boats with vessels displacing be- tween 1,000 and 3,000 tons. Destroyer construction is believed to form an important part of the recom- mendations for immediate outlays. This country ceased building . destroyers in 1920, after accumulating a tremendous number during the war. Many already e worn out, and practically all are reaching their retirement age together. In cruisers the only construction not already authorized will be in the 6- inch gun class. This category was the center of extensive opposition to the treaty among high naval officers, but the type is favored by the new chief of operations, Admiral William V. Pratt. Four Cruisers Remain. ‘The United States has 10 such cruisers afloat, all fairly new. It may bufld under the treaty another 73,500 | tons within the category, but there have been numerous indications that all might not be constructed. Only four of the eighteen 10,000-ton 8-inch gun cruisers allotted the United | States under the treaty remain to be undertaken. The construction of all has been authorized, the last to be started in 1935. Estimates of the cost of bringing the fleet up to treaty limits in every cate- gory have run as high as $1,000.000,000, but the administration has indicated it believes considerably smaller outlay suf- ficient. . NOTED MURAL PAINTER SUFFERS HEART RELAPSE Robert Winthrop Chanler Report- ed in Critical Condition From Chronic Ailment. By the Associated Press. WOODSTOCK, N.

MUSIC DENISHAWN DANCE PROGRAM. SHAWN, one of America's most virlle and picturesque dancers, appeared in recital yes- terday afternoon at the Shubert- Belasco with & group of the Denishawn Dancers. The program, which gained in color and prestige as the afternoon progressed — llmaunh‘ coming to a close on an off note—was as varied and entertaining as one has come to expect of these dancers. Mr. Shawn has brought back with him from his foreign travels a reper- toire of new dance creations, two of | which seemed to find especial favor. The “Spear Dance Japonesque,” in weird and colorful headdress and posed with surprising vigor, seemed as ex- citing and rhythmically interesting & dance as could be wished. Mr. Shawn, whose elastic grace is apparent even in such rude dances as this, was forced to repeat, and he executed it for a sec~ ond time with the same amazing force- fulness—apparently as little out of breath as when he started, As appealing as were such light, fanciful numbers as “Bavarian Holi- day” and “Valse Extase,” done with eery enthusiasm by the Denishawnites, ! it remained for a native Cuban dance, “La Rumba,” to bring the audience to | more or less of a fever pitch. As- sisted by Ernestine Day, a perso; and invigorating Carmen, Mr. Shown, with the help of a crimson kerchief, outdid all tangoes ever seen on these local boards. This was, in fact, the highlight of the afternoon, rhythmic co-ordination and the intriguing pulse of the Cuban music becoming a warm and stimulating perfection. Although the absence of Ruth St. Denis was keenly felt, Ernestine Day upheld the feminine honors with splen- did results. A dancer of the first rank, Miss Day is blessed with personality as well as beauty and grace. Her In- dian “Drum Dance” proved without guestion her versatility. =Other Den- ishawn dancers seemed as talented as in days of yore, Regina Beck being notably so. Incidentally, this program will be re- peated In Baltimore at the Lyric Thea- ter Friday evening, chber 24, de 8. M.
