Detroit. Michigan. October 27 (Special) Pleading for a
twentieth-century Reformation in the spirit of Martin Luth
er's cleansing of the churches. Dr. Walter A. Maier, profes
sor at Concordia Seminary, Saint Louis, Missuri, listed the
post-war perils which he saw confronting the Christian
churches of America.
* A gra ping, commercialized spirit,” he maintained, “is
spreading in religious circles, according to which the work
of the churches is often financed not by gifts of loving self
sacrifice, hut by money raising schemes.” He cited with
approval a letter by Horace Greeley. A woman had written
him. a-king counsel in her efforts to fill the empty treasury
of her church. Stating that she ami her friends had tried
fairs, strawberry festivals, oyster suppers, chicken dinners,
turkey banquet*, parties, socials, Gri-ntal weddings, mock
marriages, grab hag*, necktie sales and other fund-raising
schemes, she a- kd Dr. Greeley kindly to suggest new pro
gram* to help keep the struggling church together. To this
the great editor replied, briefly, but forcefully, “Try relig

ion;
Other churches which, Dr. Maier insisted, need reform
ation. are the political groups which, mixing church and
state, tr\ to foist their doctrines on the public;; the ultra
f.e-bionable church, which has no room for the poor; the
••la-- i n -clou* church, which forgets Christ's universal ap
peal to men of all races and conditions; the indolent church
es. that arc not earnestly engaged ins preading the Gospel at
home and Abroad.
Particularly did the radio speaker arraign the growing
number of churches in our country in which the Bible is
questioned or rejected, the promise of Christ's blood-bought,
salvation systematically set aside. He asked that, as Jesus
twice drove tiie money-changers from the Temple, so believ
ers in Ilis Spirit would today expel the forces of unbelief
from God's house. I
Hr. Maier also announced that the Lutheran Hour has:
now e? reeded the MOO mark in stations, and, as the world's
largest broadcast, is preparing additions to its facilities in
thirty-two countries, which will make its outlets exceed a
thousand. As riu-ent additions to “Bringing Christ to the
Nations” lie cited Radio Monoco, first European station, a
new outlet in Shanghai, China, and another at Angola, Portu
guese West Africa.

"And he said unto her, daughter
be of good comfort, thy faith has
made thee whole, go in peace"—
from St. Luke R 4.8. This beautiful
text was taken by our minister on
Sunday. October 20 at 11 o’clock
for his inspiring and heart-warm
ing Christian message. ••Tfce Re
touch'. Thoughts from his sermon
were as follows: No man can rise
to the peak of his capacity until
hg has been retouched by the
power of God; the thought that
is needed today is the retouching
of our lives with God’s and the
rededication of our hearts and our
lives to God and finally, we should
let Jesus Christ retouch our lives
to enable us to live differently; our
minds and eyes will see different
ly; and our ears will hear differ
ently, then we will know that we
have been retouched.

A doctor was discussing religion
with a minister. “I cannot under
stand that a man like you still
believes such fables”, he said. The
I minister replied: “Supposing you
I had learned of a remedy that con

j supposing this remedy had not
i only cured hundreds of your pa
, tients, but you as well. Would you
not have confidence in this reme'

The minister continued: “It is Just
so with my faith in Jesuf: it rests
upon experience. Others may talk
of fables, but I KNOW what faith
has doa© for me and thousands
of others. Should I not trust such
a sure remedy?”. St. Paul says:

that’s the story of three Negro
youths enrolled to study for the
priesthood here.
The students, members of Sa
cred Heart parish, are: Seidel Har j

Thomas. All are in the high school, j
These colored students are not j
setting a precedent. Msgr. Henry
E. Donnelly, rector, recalls that |
some 20 years a Negro boarding
student was in the high school de- ;
p3rtment.
“Ih recent years we have had j
no Negro students for the sole rea
son that none have applied for ad
mttance”, the rector said. “The
seminary has always admitted any
qualified, sincere aspirant to the
priesthood, regardless of color.” |
Harden, whose hobby is piano
and organ, is a son of Protestant
parents. His two brothers and II
sister are attending the Metho- 1
dist church. Seidel became a Cath !
olic six years ago and was bap
tized by Fr. Henry Thiefels, CSSp.
at Sacred Heart church.
The fact that he became a Cath

Differing Is
Not Disunity
By Ruth Taylor
Strangers to our shores are of
ten contused by the apparent lack
of unity, by the vociferous expres
sion of differences of opinion, by
the headed arguments over every
thing and nothing, and by what
they think must be undemocratic
tendencies in our social life.
"Bow can such things happen
ta a democracy”? the ysay. ‘‘If
a democracy makes all men equal
then why does everyone criticize
everyone else?”
What they fail to realize is that
(He tight to have and express a
tgT<anoe of opinions that is the
▼o*7 essence of democracy. It is
a tree expression and interchange

The difference of opinion is not
that of enmity but rather that of

Tfee points of difference in A

the points of agreement. We may

but as a people we speak more of

PAUL’S WIDENING FIELD OF
SERVICE
LESFON TEXT—Acts 13:1-5. 13. 14.
(4-46. 43. 49: 14:26. 27.
MEMORY SELECTION—But when It
ilecsed God ... to reveal his Son in
ne. that 1 might preach him among the
leathen.—Galatiars 1:15. 16.
God uses men to accomplish his
i:gh and holy purpose of preaching
'he gospel in all the world. They
must, however, be men who have
oeen called by the Holy Spirit, pre
pared and sent out by him. They
must be willing to labor and to sac
rifice without limit for his glory.
Paul was surh a man, ar.d as
we study the.w dening sphere of his
service ar.d inducr ce, we catch a
vision of what missions should mean
in the church.
I. A Missionary Call (Acts 13:1-4).
Much discussed among earnest
| Christians is the cuestion of what
constitutes a missionary call.
The nred must he brought home
•o ti e individual brl'ever’s heart by
he Eoly Spirit, ar.d he must give
i conviction that one is to go out
-o meet that need.
Note that the call came through
t live, active and well-equipped
hurch in Antioch, a city of Syria
t was a cosmopolitan church—read
;he names of those who served
:here. They were of many nationali
ties and cf various occupations and
. ocial positions. In the midst of that
rroup were two exceptionally ablo
preachers, Barnabas and Paul,
'.hey all loved the Lord and serve.)
i.'m.
To such a church the Holy Spirit
rin speak, be heard and obeyed.
Notice that they gave of their best,
the direction of the Spirit, not
withholding it for themselves (cf. II
Lam. 24:24). God wants our best.
Sent forth by the Holy Spirit these
men went promptly and willingly.
.?hy should the Lord have to plead,
and prod, and wait for his people
to obey him?
II. A Missionary Conr-uest (Acts
-3:4, 5, 13, H 44-43, 48, 49.
To trace this first missionary
journey it is well to look at the map
illustrating the Acts and epistles at
the back of most Bibles.
It will appear at once that it was
;0t an easy itinerary these men
undo i:-k. It involved travel by sea,
hreugh difficult country, and oftet
.imor.g hostile and hateful peoples
God docs not call his servan.s tc
an air-conditioned arm-chair evan
gelism. His Word must go ou
where it has never been heard, an
that means pioneering among th>
most backward of peoples, the need
iest of this earth. It means work
mg in rescue missions, in thank
less and difficult pastorates; yes.
anywhere the Divine Executive, the
Holy Spirit, may direct.
Paul met both popularity and per
secution, and that not far apart
After the experience of acceptance
and rejection on the island of Cy
prus (Acts 13:7, 8), Barnabas anc
Paul went to Antioch m Pisidia (a
different city than Antioch in Syria;
see map). Here they were invited
to preach in the synagogue anc
Paul was blessed in the presenta
tion of a powerful gospel mes
sage. Read it in Acts 13:16-41. It
met with such a response that the
people “besought that these words
might be preached to them the next
Sabbath” (v. 42). So great was the
popularity of Paul’S message that
the whole city came the next Sab
bath “to hear the Word of God.”
What a wonderful sight that must
have been.
But wait—there is something else
here beside popularity, and its
name is jealousy (v. 45). It caused
the Jews to blaspheme as they con
tradicted Paul's preaching.
Jealousy always makes a fool
out of the one who yields to it Yet
this green-eyed monster is per
mitted to go right on hindering the
work of God. The result in this case
was that Paul turned from the Jews
to the Gentiles with the gospel, to
their great joy and dehght. This is
a great turning point in the history
of the church.
Now the preachers turn home
ward to Antioch in Syria, and there
they had
ill. A Missionary Conference
(Act? 14:25, 27).
Nothing stimulates missionary
giving, and praying, and going in a
local church like a live missionary
conference, where those who have
been on the field come back and
tell what the Lord has done as they
went out to serve him.
It is good to know that what the
Lord led men out to do has been
fulfilled. That completes the circle
of divine guidance and blessing, and
strongly encourages us to go again
—and others to go lor the first
time—to do missionary work lor
God.
The church which does not have
such an annual missionary confer
ence misses a blessing and an op
portunity for enlarged vision and
service. No pastor or church can
afiord to miss such an open door
for the working of the Holy Spirit
of C.-H
last analysis motivates the major
ity of our citizens.
Because we have this inheritance
of freedom, we can be intelligently
a united nation.. not slavish obe
dience to orders, but because in
tames of emergency we choose to
i act as one peode without ever
! abdicating our rights to differ or
to express that difference. We are
one because we are free to know*
the truth and to speak it. We do
not have to be kept in ignorance,
to be protected from the truth. In
every time of crisis we have pro
ven that we can stand together.
We will not fail in days of peace.

THE COMMON
DEFENSE
—By Rev. William C. Kernan
LIBERALISM
Senator Joseph H. Ball of Minn
esota has recently said some im
portant things about being a li
beral wlrch deserve a lot more at
tention than they have received.
This is especially true now when
there seems to be plenty of evi
dence that some very reactionary
people In the country are trving to
stamoede us into reaction by
branding every liberal reform as
being, communistic.
“It is my conviction,” Senator
Ball declared, "that to be a poli
tical liberal, one must be devoted
to liberty. I mean liberty, not for
aov particular group In society,
whether it be workers, farmers,
business or professional men, but
liberty for all individuals as indi
viduals.. A liberal judges issues
as they arise primarily on wheth
er their net effort will be to ex
pand or contract the sum total of
opportunities and freedoms enjoy
ed, not bv anv particular group
in society but by all the people as
individuals. .The authoritarian in
politics is the one who believes
that a particular group, whether
it be in government, in labor, or
in business, has a special mission
to plan the whole pattern of so
ciety and to reouire all individuals
whether they^like it or not, to fit
into the pattern..You will notice
that under my definition of liber
ali=m and its political opposite,
authoritarianism, both fascists and
communists fall into the later ca
tegory”.
These are words of the greatest
possible significance. Taken to
heart thev will enable the Ameri
can people to avoid both commun
ism and fascism by showing them
how. in accordance with sound and
traditional American principles, to
effect the reforms in our society
which will make our practice of
democracy .'correspond with the
principles we profess.
For example, remembering Sen
ator Ball's definition of liberalism
will fortify us against the charge
that a fair employment practices
law is communistic, as the very
reactionary people have charged.
For a fair employment practices
law, supported by leading Catho
lics, Protestants, and Jews who
canot by and stretch of imagin
ation be called ‘communists’, is a
proposal to recognize the right of
every individual American to the
opportunity of gainful employ
ment irrespective of his race, co
lor, creed, or national origin. That
is not communism. This is Amer
icanism. To call it communism is
but the attempt to discredit it by
those who either do not know what
Americanism is or who, knowing
dhat it is. do not ikle it.
Our best chance of saving free
society in this country from the
attacks presenty being made up
on the practice of enlarging the
spere of opportunity for everybody
without respect to race, creed, co
lor or national origin.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
NATURAL GA©
QUESTION
THflTF World-Herald has presented but one side of
■ V I E- the Natural Gas question. The real question is:
Shall We Have 75% Natural Gas or 100% Natural Gas
M. U. D. already has the right to go to 75% which
® ■■ ™ they will do if we vote NO. The World-Herald advo
cates 100% which requires a vote of the people. ,
The high priced expert imported from outside, who is the same
expert imported by the Natural Gas people some ten years ago,
SAYS 100%. Just why our own engineers after 26 years of
service are not permitted to answer the question for us is. still
a mystery.
75% vs. 100%
175% Means more than doubling the present capacity be
cause of the increased B.T.U.—or, at our past rate of in
" crease, enough for 50 years. (And the experts sny there
are no known Natural Gas reserves for more than 40 years.)
100% Would increase it more—but for what purpose?
2 75% Means saving our efficient gas plant and the jobs of
its employees.
100% Means junking the plant valued at 8 million dollars^
and laying off loyal employees. If they do not junk the'
plant, then they admit that 100% gas cannot be depend
ed upon.
3 75% Means part manufactured gas which will guarantee
the same continuous service we have had.
100% Means dependence on a pipeline entirely. No city
in history ever had full and continuous service from b. pipe
line, and they admit it. Omaha Industries whj<$i n.°"r u*e
straight Natural Gas were completely shut off EIGHT
times during the past year and had to turn to oil or, coal.
4 75% Means a chance for FURTHER rate reductions.
Manufactured gas has been reduced ELEVEN t«nie3 since
" we bought the Plant.
100% Means an increase in rates.
* - 0 ^ »
Natural Gas is today higher in every city th^t qses it than
it was when introduced. Kansas City had FI'/E increases
while we were getting ELEVEN reductions.
The Chairman of the Texas Railway Commission warned
the Federal Power Commission at its hearing tiff's summer,
that Natural Gas prices at the well must go yP. TbaPipe-.
line Company can go to court to PASS that op to us.
It is a notorious fact that pipelines get off anr.act Scott
free on taxes. Every State Legislature is now ptinning to
tax them—and WILL. Under the M. U. D. cjoptract with
the Pipeline, those taxes will be passed on to y&u.. But
the World-Herald doesn’t tell you THAT.
5 75% Means a safer gas—almost as safe as our present gasJ
a 100% Means the danger that a’l cities which u$g it have
to combat.
You don’t read about it in the World-Herald, but in June
1348—this year—the City of Detroit had tqjset up a new
Department of Safety Engineering to ins^ect^Natural Gas
installations. Because of so many explosions^aU installa
tions were halted until inspections could be qfiade. And
they expect to pay off the $82,490.00 appromfations by
CHARGING an inspection fee. Are we to ne inspected
at OUR cost, or do we just let it explode as IHex did in
Detroit?
Cleveland tried to store Natural Gas. In 1^44 plant
blew up. The blast and resulting fire destroyed everything
in an area of a half-square mile, brought fflaminjj jdeath to
131 known dead and 61 unidentified deadf liha property
