TOWN AND COUNTRY CONVOCATION Continued from page 1


doesn't mean rural people lack religious concern any more than others. It's simply that the Churches there are going through a period of change and that adjustments are necessary in their organ- izational units to serve rural America.


To seek solutions, more than 1,000 Church and lay leaders of 30 denomina- tions met for 3 days last week in Salina, Kansas. The general theme was "A United Christian Witness In Rural America."


Several factors were pin-pointed as having contributed to killing off rural Churches. Among them are these:


1. Mechanized farming has made farms bigger, families farther apart.


2. Cars and better roads have made near- by Churches less essential.


3. Better ministers have tended to seek urban pulpits, resulting in poor preach- ing, leadership, and work morale in many rural Churches.


4. Migration to defense industries, and other population shifts have disrupted rural congregations.


For getting a rural Church on its feet, these essential factors were listed:


1. A good building.


2. Systematic and thorough financial program.


4. An adequate salary for the minister and his family, geared to the cost of living and his educational background. 5. A full program for all age groups.


6. Lay officials to run the Church rather than the Pastor alone.


7. A Pastor well-grounded in theology.


Rev. J. B. Melton


"A Little Child Shall Lead Them"


When Dick came home from Camp Kosci, he played so much better with his younger brothers, and would think of things that all of them could do together, instead of the usual, "Leave my things alone" and "Get out of here". When his father saw the change in Dick, he said, "That's for me! If they can make my boy over in two weeks, I want to be a part of the church that carries on such a program."


The father joined the church and the entire family has become active.

The Rev. . Trevor V.D. Dillon for over twenty-five years the pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Goshen, Indiana, de- parted this life on November 15. Mr. Dillon led his con- gregation in a constructive way as evidenced by a steady growth. The building was re- conditioned at considerable cost a few years ago. The educational program grew to demand the full time director, Mr. Joe Guest. The congregation had recently voted to proceed with the erection of a new educational building.

The Second Annual Week-end Retreat for Indiana Presbyter- ian Women took place November 5,6, and 7 at Turkey Run State Park and was considered highly success ful.


The theme of the retreat, " A Time to Live" , was a spirit- ual emphasis as well as a challenge for the women who came. Beginning with the Fri- day night session, the spirit of the entire retreat was one ' of fellowship, of worship, and of drawing closer to God thru Christ. During the Saturday afternoon on free time, many of the women took advantage of the beautiful weather and went on a conducted tour of the park trails. The fellowship hour in the evening was con- ducted by Miss Lelah Garrett.


High-lights of the week-end were: colored slides shown by Mrs. Robert Klein; the choir directed by Miss Elizabeth Meloy and Miss Lelah Garrett; the Bible study conducted by Miss Edith Brookmiller; a panel presentation of the Purdue meeting; the inspiring pre- sence and talk by Miss Felicia Sunderlaal of India, and the Sunday morning dedication of the day by Miss Helen Humphreys. The closing service of dedi - cation was given by Mrs. Ford, assisted by the choir.


Total attendance at the Logansport Presbyterial dis- trict meetings was 482; the total offering was $479. 10,

A New Year's Resolution


Cooperation in the Church


The recent third meeting of the Nation- al Council of Churches of Christ in America, held in Boston last month, demonstrated a unity of purpose among thirty Protestant and Orthodox Catholic denominations to serve the Triune God and His kingdom. The Presbyterian Church U.S. A. is honored by the election of the Stated Clerk of the General Assembly, Dr. Eugene Carson Blake, as the President until the next meeting of the National Council to be held in St. Louis in 1957.


The member bodies of the National Council represent over 351/2 million in- dividual members. The way in which the national leaders of these Christians with their different denominational back- grounds and methods of work, worked together promises well for an aggressive approach to the task of seeking a Chris- tian world.


In Indiana there are twelve Protestant denominations united in the Indiana Council of Churches endeavoring together to meet the opportunities for a strong Christian work in our state. Our Synod is active in this program with Rev. Roy E. Mueller, D.D. the National Missions executive as the President of the State Council, and Rev. Stanley Kreidler, D.D. the executive of the Christian Education work of Synod an active member of the education division of the state work. Rev. Robert Stewart the Field Representa- tive of synod's National Missions work is the chairman of a committee that just completed a study of the work and needs of Chaplains in the various state insti- tutions. This report is receiving high commendation from the various state officials and promises to set a new standard and pattern in this area of a united protestant approach to a vital area of service.


Under the State Council a conference was held in November for laymen to study how better to have Christianity real in business and professional areas. The re- port of this meeting is already re- ceiving fine comment from business and professional men who were not able to attend.


The same spirit of unity and coopera- tion among clergy and laity aids in the exchange of ideas and practices whereby each such cooperating congregation re- ceives benefits. In the local congrega- tion we see such united endeavor demon-

John W. Trueb - Stewardship Chairman First Presbyterian Church - Shelbyville, Indiana.


Led by an enthusiastic Board of Deacons, the congregation of the First Presby - terian Church of Shelbyville has respond- ed to the "Challenge of Christian Living" to the extent that 1955 pledges to current expenses amounts to $16, 564 while pledges to benevolences amount to $8, 860. The real story of this success in stewardship, begins long before the month of November when the members of the church made their pledges. Early last spring Whitewater Presbytery through its committee on Stewardship and Promotion invited the churches to send laymen to be trained to present the "Challenge of Christian Living" to the churches of the presbytery. To this training session the Shelbyville church sent two of its dea- cons: Otis Oldham, Stewardship Chairman in 1952 and 1953 and John W. Trueb who assumed this Chairmanship in September when Mr. Oldham was forced to resign due to a temporary illness. Together with their minister, these deacons visited five of the churches of the Presbytery explaining the "Challenge of Christian Living" to officers of the churches.

I.U. FOUNDATION


At the time this article is being written, twenty days in advance of pub- lication, the Westminster Foundation of Bloomington, Inc. has in sight approx- imately $113, 000 for its Building Fund. Of this amount $105, 000 is in firm cash and pledges and $8,000 in anticipated gifts. The goal of the campaign is $125,000 which represents the minimum amount of money which must be raised be- fore the Presbyterian Student Center in Bloomington, adjacent to the campus at Indiana University, can be built.


The campaign for funds for the West- minster Foundation of Bloomington, Inc. was officially approved at the last meeting of the Synod of Indiana. Since the campaign began forty eight percent of the churches in the Synod have made some contribution. This represents 135 churches out of the 304 included in the Synod of Indiana. The percentage of churches contributing as of December 10, 1954 in each of the eight Presbyteries of the state are as follows: Crawfords- ville 47%, Fort Wayne 59%, Indianapolis 47%, Logansport 42%, Muncie 81%, New Albany 32%, Vincennes 51% and White- water 55%.


The churches who have not contributed to the Building Fund may still do so. Pledges can be made over a two year per- iod, and credit for same will be given under special synod benevolences provided the money is sent through the Synodical Clearing House for the I. U. Building Fund, but is not part of the regular accepted benevolence for the Boards and agencies of the General Assembly. If each of the remaining churches who have not contributed to this campaign were to support this project of the Synod there would be no doubt about raising the funds necessary to start the building program, even though the contributions would be small.


When this Presbyterian Student Center is erected and functioning it will be a place where students of Presbyterian families can gather and be surrounded by Christian influences while they are temporarily away from home. This project is a challenge to all who believe that it is a sound practice to invest in pre- serving and developing the finest poten- tial leadership for the churches for tomorrow. The colleges and universities are the greatest home mission fields for our church.


A check for $1,000.00 received since above article was written.

1256 CAMPERS


HOW MANY LEADERS?


How many were from your Church? The above number of campers attending our Synod Camps and Confer- ences in 1954 required 177 volunteer leaders (a bare minimum of leadership needed. ) How many leaders were from your Church? Check the chart be- low for answers to both questions.


Both campers and leaders share a great inspira- tion and learning experience to bring back to the home church. Some churches had both campers and leaders; a few had leaders only; quite a few had several campers but provided no leadership.

Thanksgiving "Service"


CHAPEL DEDICATED


The Condit Memorial Chapel was dedi - cated on November 6. The Chapel is the gift of Miss Helen Condit of Terre Haute in memory of her father, the Rev. Black- ford Condit.


A different kind of "Service" washeld at the Presbyterian Youth Camp, Browns- town, this past Thanksgiving day and the two days following. Five students from Purdue, one from Indiana University, together with Dr. and Mrs. Leigh Wright, University Presbyterian Church, West Lafayette, worked on the pews for the new Condit Memorial Chapel. They cut out all the 20 pieces each for a total of 18 pews, sanded edges, bored screw holes, and numbered the pieces. Two pews were finished and the others will be assem- bled soon.


The students from Purdue were Mr. and Mrs. Richard Walker, E. D. Metcalf, George E. Neuner and Ed. P. Taylor. The sixth student was Harry Tausch, from I. U.


Mr. B. L. Curry of New Albany provided the lumber.

strated in proportion to the way the local church meets her opportunities. If organizations " compete" they defeat one another. We recognize that a local church seeks to serve all ages, all educational and economic levels, and many degrees of understanding and ex- perience of the spiritual life. Unity of purpose does not mean unity of method.


The primary motive of the worship ser- vices, of the church school, and of the fellowship organizations, must be unified in the one purpose of helping the indi - vidual in his personal experience of a close relationship with God in Christ.


Leaders of a particular sector of the Church, local, state, or national, dare not harbor a spirit of competition or jealousy. Some persons will be led into the Kingdom and helped to strengthen their understanding of the Christian life

The work of new church development and remodeling of many of our churches throughout Synod reflects a strong vitality in our work. The Westminster Church, Fort Wayne, Rev. Dean Cope, Pas-

tor, began work in their new building the first of December even though the finishing work was not complete. This congregation had been meeting in tem- porary quarters some distance from their site with an attendance of around 60 per Sunday. The first day in their new build- ing, though incomplete and no great pub- licity, the attendance was increased to 167. Ten new families expressed desire for membership the first Sunday showing truely the fine future ahead for this church.


The Community Presbyterian Church of East Gary, Rev. Arthur Jones, Pastor, expect to occupy a new section of their building sometime in January. This church had built an educational unit three years ago, largely by the labors of their members. Now they have about completed the first floor section of the Sanctuary wing of the ultimate plant. This will be used as a worship and fellowship hall for the present. A new kitchen and fur- nace room is also in the new structure.


The Grace Church at Clarksville, Rev. Theodore James, Pastor, was held up on their building program due to delayed shipment of steel, but they hope to be in their new fellowship hall early in February.


A five acre tract on Kessler Boulevard and thirty-fifth Streets in Indiana- polis has been secured for a new church. The general grading has been completed and the entire front along the parkway has been put in lawn in accordance with the specifications of the Park Board of Continued on page 4.
