JUNE 25. 1936 TODAY and i?ir 1 FRANK I>A.P-KFRT~P-NM1\- jT^ KEVIVAI* , .a new kind Several thousand happy, earnesl men and women, mostly young, hav< just spent ten days in my home coun. iy of Berkshire, holding the most ex traordinary series of religious meet ings I have ever seen or heard of They arc members of the "Oxfort Group" which is the newest and, il seerris to me, perhaps the livest religious inovement in the world. It* leaders had just come from a great gathering in Denmark and will gc from America to hold another great international meeting in England. I attended some of the public and semi-public meetings and go the distinct feeling that they have "something on the ball." One of the things that impressed me favorably was that there was no suggestion of anything approaching the cant phrases of the old-fashioned ovangelical revivalists, with which I have been familiar from childhood. FRINCXPliltS .... broad 1 talked with Frank Buchman, the Pennsylvania minister who started this new movement at Oxford University, England, in 1921. "We are not starting a new religion. but striving to show people how to make the old religion work," Dr. Buchman told me. "Nobody is asked to join a church or a sect but is helped to live up to the fundamental nrjnet pies of all sects." Those principles are honesty, unselfishness, love ami purity. As Dr. Buchanan put It: "Everybody believes in those things for the other fellow, but we try to follow them our3etves." He added that one thing the oxford Group did not desire to do was to induce anybody to leave his own church. "If you're a Catholic," he said cn Saturday afternoon, "go to Mass tomorrow morning. If you are a Protestant, go to your own church. The only thing- we expect of those whose lives have been changed is that they follow the teachings of their churches in their dally lives."

"We believe In devotion with hii iarity," one young woman, the daughter of an old friend, said to me.

I have never been able to understand the notion chat so many folk have, that one cannot be a working * Christian and at the same time be < merry. Religion, if it means anything, ought to mean happiness. TEACE . . . .an objective It is the hope o. these young mem-; hers of tlie Oxford group that tlieyj can spread their message among the j youth of all the world and so re-es-j lablish the ancient principles of gen- j uiTie Christian brotherhood. j If they can do that, liiey believe.. they can put an end to war. j ihat sounds reasonable to me. if i the youth of all nations accept and J live up to the principles of honesty, i unselfishness and love, they are cer-! tainly not going out tc* fight each other, 110 matter who orders them toj arms. 11 i . I am convinced that a movement * is under way which has power to | change the world. j. Obituary Rev. I. C. Miller died June 4. 1936 , at the age of 79. He married Mary, J.

He j ] was baptised by Elder Larkin Hodges' j and being: found orthodox in the,, failli was ordained to the full work! ( of the ministry in 1888, serving* j ( churches. He wa-s faithful to his call- j, ing and a faithful father to his chil- j , -'ren until death called him away.' His last prayer was "not my will, , but Thy will be done." ; j He fought a good fight, he finish- ] ed his course, he kept the faith and , many crowns are laid up for him. We miss him more than we can tell, i ' But we know God does all things | 1 well. But some sweet day, it won't be long I'll meet dear father in Heaven his home.
