Families are encour- aged to worship and to play together. A part of each day is left free for each family to elect its own activity.

Women's Work Course Scheduled for Synod School


Miss Alice Maloney, east central area secretary of the De- partment of Women's Work of the Board of National Missions, has been chosen to serve on the staff of the Indiana Synod Leadership Training School, sponsored by the Synod Committee on Christian Educa- tion. The school will be held July 27- August 2 at Hanover College.


Miss Maloney will teach the " Basic Course in P. W.O." and " P.W.O. Pro- gram Previews" . The courses will deal with the philosophy, organi za- tion and general plan of the women's program in the church, and will interpret program materials for the 1959 study. General program planning will also be a part of the course.


Author of an interdenominational study guide on Indian Americans, Miss Maloney, before coming to the Women's Chicago Office, headed the Presbyterian work among Indians for nine years. She supervised mission- aries among thirty tribes in seven- teen states, visiting every group annually. For her good work with the Dakotas, the tribe made her an honorary member with the name " Waste Win" or " Good Lady".


Foreign Aid Studied


The January issue of Social Pro- gress explores the churches' con- cern and responsibility regarding foreign aid in a study entitled " The Welfare of the Nations".


Social Progress is a monthly publication of the Department of Social Education and Action, Presby- terian Church U.S.A. , Board of Christian Education.


This issue of Social Progress could be used as a basis for group study in the local church. Copies may be secured from the Philadelphia office.


Three men appointed by Synod's Council; the Rev. Paul Sherrill, moderator; Dr. George Taggart, stated clerk; and Dr. John Fox, executive secretary, met with the Consolidation Committee of the Indiana Presbytery, Second Synod of the United Presbyterian Church.


Dr. Vernon Butler, executive secretary of the Second Synod, and moderator of Indiana Presbytery; Dr. Clinton Marsh, Witherspoon United Presbyterian Church, India- napolis; the Rev. Elmon Ward, Princeton United Presbyterian Church; and the Rev. Franklin Harper, stated clerk of Indiana Presbytery, composed the United Presbyterian Consolidation Committee.


Careful study was made of an over- ture from the Synod of Ohio, United Presbyterian Church, which will be presented to the Assembly when it meets in May.

Tenth One Great Hour of Sharing Set For March 16


6,000 Presbyterian Churches, 307 in Indiana, will unite on March 16 in the tenth One Great Hour of Sharing for the needy overseas. Last year over $1, 400,000 was raised for this great work of love through which refugees and other victims of war and disaster were aided in every part of the world.


Through your gift you will help throw a cloak of compassion about the shoulders of suffering mankind.


Nearly $90,000 Already Pledged to Synod Causes


Two-thirds of the churches of the Synod have already reported acceptances for 1958 Synod Causes approx- imating $90,000. It will be several weeks yet until all of the reports are in.

It is too early to predict the final response. The more than 100 churches yet unreported, many of them with small congregations, will account for an additional amount.


The very cooperative response of the churches of Synod; the fine support given on a Presbytery level; the hard work of Stewardship and Promotion Chairmen; and the personal contacts made by many other minis- ters and laymen, reflect the excel- lent spirit with which this oppor- tunity has been accepted.


200 Indiana Men Will Attend Chicago Meeting
