'MISSION SUPPORT ISURGED BY ROPER Spiritual and Lay Leaders From Abroad Are Due Here Nov. 22-25. Declaring that the world is going through & period of fundamental re- adjustment and that there must be a revival of spiritual interests if society is to be prepared for these changes, Gecretary of Commerce Daniel C. Roper today called for support of the National Preaching Mission to be held here November 22-25. The mission, which will bring to ‘Washington spiritual and lay leaders from Europe and various parts of the United States, is expected to be one of the greatest events of its kind in Jocal church annals. “The entire world,” Secretary Roper Baid, “is going through a period of fundamental readjustments. To un- dergird and properly safeguard these edjustments, as related to human so- ciety, we need a revival of interest in those common virtues which are prop- erly called the spiritual forces. “The heart-hungry masses of man- kind everywhere are crying out against the futility of a life which is not enriched and supported by the satis- faction of religion. No other force has enabled man to so well withstand the dramatic onslaughts of life. “Just as our progress as a Nation was prompted and guided by deep spiritual forces, so present-day prog- ress must be sustained in its more complex form by the practical appli- cation of these same spiritual forces. Thanked for Endeavors. “Recognizing as I do the immutable rules of human conduct and human relations as found in the precepts and examples of Jesus Christ, I wish to thank you and your associates for the endeavors which you are making to bring this truth more forcibly to the attention of our people.” Roper’s statement was part of a letter to Wilbur La Roe, jr., member of the local committee in charge of arrangements for the four-day mis- sion, which is sponsored by the Fed- eral Council of Churches and other | religious organizations. The program is to include mass meetings and services, seminar classes, meeting of clerical, lay and young Ppeople’s organizations and services and meetings in nearby towns and cities. There will be four great mass meet- ings, three of them Sunday, Novem- ber 22, in Cavalry Baptist Church, Eighth and H streets, Washington Cathedral, Mount St. Alban, and Na- " tional City Christian Church, the lat- ter for young people only. The fourth and largest of the mass meetings will be held Wednesday evening, Novem- ber 25, in Constitution Hall, with an overflow meeting in Memorial Con- tinental Hall. These simultaneous meetings will be addressed by Rev. E. Stanley Jones of India, world famous missionary evangelist and author, and Miss Muriel Lester of Kingsley House, London, noted for her social service work and contributions to the culti- vation of the devotional life.
