Auburn Church Expands
The Presbyterian Church of Auburn is engaged in the building of an educational unit that is estimated to cost $140,000.00 when completed and furnished. This two floor wing to their present structure will provide a chapel and dining room, as well as class rooms and office. The Ground Breaking Ceremony was held July 4. Rev. Miles Freeman is pastor of the church.
Westminster Fellowship
National Assembly
Pictured above are approximately fifty Indiana Synod and Presbytery representa- tives who were among the 1, 500 persons delegated to the third WESTMINSTER FELLOWSHIP NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, which was held early in July on the campus of the University of Illinois.
The carefully planned program focused upon the daily discussions on the study of the mission of the church in the world today. Platform leader was Dr. Joseph M. Gettys, minister of education of the First Presbyterian Church U.S., Dallas, Texas, whose presentation of the ACTS OF THE APOSTLES made it a living witness to those who share the life of the church with the first century Christian. One hundred and five small discussion groups spent two hours each day discussing Christian Witness - with a sharpening of responsibility for Christian Witness in the places where God has put us in these days.
Evening platform hours were designed to present to the Assembly living issues and questions, which, without some under- standing of our Christian witness, have no meaning for today and tomorrow. These programs included: Dr. Charles T. Leber, Secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions, who addressed the Assembly on " Trouble is Our Business" ; Dr. Alexander Miller, Professor of Humanities, Stan- ford University, whose message was en- titled, "God's Problem: the American and His Money" ; a conversation between Dr. Francis P. Miller, moderator of the Synod of Virginia, Presbyterian Church, U. S., and Congressman Chester E. Merrow of New Hampshire who discussed "The Young Christian Looks Forward to Political Responsibility" ; and Dr. Eugene Carson Blake, Stated Clerk of General Assembly, who brought the closing message, "The Challenge of the Church in our Times". Dr. Hayes Fuhr, Hastings College, direct- ed the Assembly choir who presented " Witness Through Music" with Rev. Owen McGarity of Ossian as guest soloist.
Each evening concluded with "talk-it- over" sessions which provided for dis- cussion of questions and special interests arising from the Assembly presentations. Gary Lower of Mishawaka, 1953-54 synod
The Lord's Supper
REGARDING CHILDREN PARTAKING OF THE LORD'S SUPPER.
From time to time the question is raised as to the position of the Presby- terian Church with regard to children partaking of the sacrament. It is, of course, the task of the Board of Chris- ian Education and its editors to suggest ways in which this subject should be taught to young children, but I am happy to outline the general position of the church on the matter.
(1) It is true that baptized children are a part of the fellowship of the Church. (See Confession of Faith, Chapter XXV, Section II, which reads in part: " The visible Church .. . consists of all those throughout the world that profess the true religion, together with their children; " ).
(2) This does not mean, however, that children should be allowed to partake of the Lord's Supper before they have been fully instructed in its meaning and have made public profession of their personal faith in Jesus Christ, a promise of their obedience to Him, and have been received as communicant members by the Session. Directory for Worship, Chapter IX, Section II, reads: "The ignorant ... are not to be admitted to the Lord's Supper."

RIAL PROGRAM
Throughout November, a vast advertising campaign will carry the appealing message of the richer life of family union based on religion.
Here is your opportunity to put the 1954 campaign, Religion In American Life (RIAL) program to work for increasing regular attendance at worship services. Full benefits from this advertising are insured by concentrating the campaign squarely on your church.
The national RIAL program offers sub- stantial benefits for every local church, but to make the program produce full value depends on local action by you, your church, and your community.
Plans are underway to open the 1954 campaign with a major RIAL event of nationwide importance. These plans call for wide national publicity by television and radio networks and the press during the weekend of October 28, to mark Novem- ber as the RELIGION IN AMERICAN LIFE MONTH.
Ask your civic and religious leaders to call on the entire community for full participation throughout November in the national program. Ask your newspapers to announce the opening of your campaign with news stories, pictures and editor- ials.

Aids To Women's Groups
A revision of "The Handbook for Women's Organizations" is now available and should be in the hands of the officers of every Association of women in every local church.
Since one of the major func- tions of organized church women is evangelism, every group should send for "The Glorious Calling" . A limit of 15 copies is available free to every church.
The devotional chairman of Circles will be glad to get a copy of "The New and Living Way". This contains a series of devotions based on studies in the Epistle to the Hebrews. 20¢ each - 6 for $1.00.

The Line Still Grows
At Purdue, students attending the University Presbyterian Church still stand in line even though the first stage of the new addition is now in use. In the above photograph, the second service of the morning is being concluded in the original unit while the line of students from down the street is entering the temporary entrance to the ground floor room where the third service is held.
This large room will be the dining hall when the sanctuary above is eventually added. It has now been used for a year for church services. With the adjoining new classroom, an enlarged program of activity has been possible, and the stu- dents appreciate the gifts which have made this possible.
In Memoriam
Rev. Harry L. Crain, D.D.
Rev. Harry L. Crain, D. D., departed this life while at his summer home in Michigan. Dr. Crain had served a long pastorate at the church in Frankfort, Indiana from which he was retired some years ago as pastor emeritus.

Work With Students
BY WESTMINSTER FOUNDATION AT DEPAUW
There are four hundred and one Presbyterian preference students at DePauw, a number that compares favorably with other years. The students participate in all church ac- tivities, not just Westminster Fellowship. They sing in the choir, assist with the usher- ing, teach in the Sunday School and are represented on the boards of the church. Their attendance at the regular church services constitutes more than half of the congre- gation, which taxes the capacity of the building. Members of W. F. assist in the church service each Sunday.
Regular meetings of West- minster Fellowship are held on Sunday evenings. They consist of a worship period, a fellow- ship program, a meal, and a speaker or program, followed by a question period. There is a banquet for all Presbyterian preference students, held in November, at which we have an outstanding guest speaker. This fall there will also be one panel discussion on the church's place on a college campus.
Other programs have consisted of a retreat, held at Turkey Throughout our Synod there Run State Park, to which other are signs of growth in members campus religious groups were and program as indicated by invited, as well as a repre- building expansion and recon- ditioning in more than two of every three of our congrega- sentation from Wabash College. Joint meetings are held at regular intervals with other tions during the past five campus church groups. Deputa- years. tion teams are sent to congre- One of the most noteworthy of these programs is that at gations requesting them.

ber 26, the building was re- dedicated after having been redecorated, new lighting installed, windows releaded, organ overhauled, new carpet and many other details of restoration.
This is a tribute to the work of a consecrated layman who assumed the responsibility of a small congregation that had been unable to secure a pastor.
CLARKSVILLE - The Grace Presbyterian Church of Clarks- ville which was one of the developments undertaken by Presbyterian Extension, Inc., of the Synod has outgrown its small first unit. Under the leadership of Rev. Theodore
James, this congregation is desperate for space. Our Ex- tension directors are assist- ing this church to erect another section of the building which forms the "master plan" for the total building event- ually to be completed. With the support and assistance in financing, the contract for building was let and ground broken on October 31 for this next step.
FT. WAYNE - The Westminster Church at Ft. Wayne is another congregation being assisted in securing their building. The Educational Section of this structure is nearing comple- tion at a cost of $90,000. 00

Number 9
More than three hundred years ago, a small band of Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving Day. They had had a hard winter, a year of hunger and cold, of fear and constant sickness, and many loved ones were buried beneath the sod. Yet in the autumn after reaping their crops. Gov. Bradford said, "We have fasted together, now let us feast to- gether. Let us have a special day to give thanks for all the goodness of God. He has remembered us, we will remember Him." This they did and shared their feast with friendly Indians.
Inour day it is practically impossible for us to imagine the privations of those days. We take our many blessings so much for granted that it is hard to remember to be thankful for them. The abundance of God's good gifts often Freely Ue Have Received Freely Gine makes us forget the Giver, as too much fuel will smother a fire. It is in times of prosperity that we are in danger of becoming proud and self-sufficient. Henry Ward Beecher said, "Pride slays Thanksgiving but a humble mind is the soil out of which thanks naturally grow. A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets as much as he deserves. "
This Thanksgiving season would be a good time to try to recapture some of the spirit of the Pilgrim Fathers - their faith and humility, their courage in time of adversity, their resourcefulness, their gratitude and willingness to share. They shared their feast with friendly Indians, who were their neighbors in their new home. Today the whole world is our neighborhood, for we can reach any spot in it by jet plane in less than twenty four hours. In it there are still millions of people who need nourishment for their souls as well as their bodies. Our Church extends a helping hand to many thru our missionary endeavor all over the world, at home as well as abroad.
We can express our gratitude to God for His goodness to us by our gifts to the Benevolence Causes of our Church. Our own family celebrations of Thanksgiving will take on a new radiance when we have also shared with others.

We Mean To Go Through With It.
Does the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A., the frilly name for our Churchi, mean business? We have a commiss- ion to extend the influence of Christ across our land and across the world. Do we really mean to go through with it?

The leaders of our Church have given us the benefit of any doubt and have projected a program based on the con- viction that we do mean to go through with it. They have set a base benevolence budget for 1955 for our current, on- going benevolence work of $13,000,000.00. Instead of set- ting up a successor to the Buildings Fund Campaign with a comparable goal of $12,000,000.00 over two and a half years they have concluded that we would rather step up our giving through the usual benevolence channels by 40% and raise $5,000,000.00 for special purposes each year.
The leaders of our Church have also the conviction that if the local congregations understand this they will go through with it. To that end a team from Presbytery is to meet with the officers and budget makers of each church,
Miss Wardlaw Concludes Work in Indiana
Miss Ruth Wardlaw, Publica- tions' Division Field Repre- sentative of the Board of Christian Education, has re- cently completed an eight week period in the Synod of Indiana where she gave educational assistance to church school groups in the presbyteries of Indianapolis, New Albany, Vincennes and Whitewater. During the time she was in Indiana, Miss Wardlaw met with forty individual Presbyterian churches, twelve churches of two larger parishes, one Lutheran Church using Presby- terian curriculum, and with the classes in Pastoral Leadership and Christian Education at Louisville Presbyterian Theo- logical Seminary. Next fall Miss Wardlaw will be itinerat- ing throughout the northern presbyteries of the Synod.
"Be careful how you live You may be the only bible Some will ever read."
S.E.A. Workshop
Saturday morning and after- noon, November 13, has been set for the Synod S. E. A. Work- shop which will be held at First Presbyterian Church, Columbus, Indiana. Miss Mar- garet Kuhn, representing the Department of Social Education and Action of the Board of Christian Education, will be present and conduct the Work- shop, which is to be attended by Presbytery and Presbyterial S. E. A. Committees, local church committees, and layman inter- ested in and concerned about social and moral issues. Rev. William Laws, Columbus, is Synod S. E. A. Chairman.
Synod Office Employee Injured
Early in September Mrs. R. J. (Mildred) McLandress fell, sustaining a broken left arm and right ankle. After several weeks in Methodist Hospital and recuperating at her home, she will return to her work in the synod office where she has served for many years.
"He Kept Back Some of the Proceeds"
It won't be very long until 1954 becomes a part of church history. We have only a few weeks to accomplish the high goals that we have set for ourselves in 1954. The church has advanced during this year. Nevertheless, opportunities have presented themselves to us that we could not accept be- cause of lack of funds.
As the year draws to a close the Church Treasurer, the Circle Treasurer, the Sunday School Treasurer and other custodians of church monies, will find that they are closing the year with surplus funds. The surplus may amount to only a few pennies or it may amount to several thousand dollars.
