Man Who Started Religions Move ment Gives An Kxplanatlon or it. Philadelphia Ur, TTank Bitch - mn's explanation of “Buchman ism,” his own movement, before a group of 1100 clergy in the Prot estant Episcopal church house, 201’ South Nineteenth street, left many still" unconvinced of its appropriate - ness. As he portrayed it. the move ment Is the age-old Christian con version through intimate personal contact without the recitation of sordid details often attributed to it. Dr. Buchman was accompanied by a party of four of his recent converts, all of whom testified of the value of the peculiar type of conversion to them. They were Baron Godfrey von Wnssenauer and his brother-in-law Eric von Lcn nep, both o( Holland: Lawrence lee ,an engineer, of Washington, D C., and McGhee Baxter, a bond broker, of New York. With the ex ception of Mr. Lee, whose daugh ter, Rosamond, is a Junior at Bryn Mawr and also a Buchman convert, the group consisted of young men. After the testimony of the four and a detailed account of the method of the movement in China by Dr. Buchman, the clergy seem ed unconvinced. One arose stating that he had as yet heard nothing but testimonials. Another, Dean D. Wilmont Gateson, of the Pro Cathedral, Bethlehem, Pa., asked Dr. Buchman if the detailing of the ugly personal habits was part of the technique of a “Buchman" conversion, and cited the specific Instance of a case at Colgate uni versity. To these questions Dr. Buchman answered, “Come and,see.’1 thereby extending an invitation to the house parties that are held at uni versities both In this country and in Europe and Asia, at which the real work ol the movement Is done. These parties continue lor several days during which t'he converted strike up personal acquaintances with the unconverted. “There Is nothing in the confes sions at any of these parties that could not be heard by a sixteen year-old girl." Dr. Buchman con tinued. "At all of them there are members of the press present and they have repeatedly gone away with nothing unusual to report. Doctors who have attended the parties have indorsed them and sc have psychologists. Many of them have said the groups were, if any thing,' under*, ^motional. “Detailed confessions are- nol wanted and confessions as such dc not go beyond the statement of the particular personal problems in a word or two.

We believe that sev should be dealt with, but never in a mixed j meeting." i This explanation satisfied Dean Oateson who extended Dr. Buch man the courtesies of his diocese.

Mason, Scoutmaster of Troop 5j This article is to call to the at tention of the people of Shelby, and especially to parents , of boys between the ages of 12 and 20, that Fob. 8 to the 14 Is the nineteen an niversary of scouting tn America. Nineteen years ago the Boy Scout movement wa* brought to America, and at the present time it is the largest and best organization for boys in America and even in the world. Therefore committeemen and others who are interested in scout work, it is highly Important that., wc celebrate in a fitting man ner this anniversary period. The local people are interested in the scout movement,I am sure, and it behooves us at this time to get on the Job and lend a hand toward ( making honest and efficient citi-, sens out of our boys in Shelby. The following clipping is taken from the February number of “Scouting,” one of the official pub lications ol the Boy Scout move ment, and every person in Shelby interested in the Boy Scout work here should read it. It concerns Anniversary Week. .. "What is the significance of An-U niversary Week? Every year scout councils and troops invest time and effort and sometimes finances, to make this period memorable in the lives of scouts of America promises to be the most impressive that has yet occurred. An idea must have real force to principles underlying Anniversary Week, principles that were so deeply realized by scout leaders that provision for Its ob servance was incorporated in the by-laws of the Boy Scouts of Amer ica? “A basic principle Is' the national character of its observance. From the lone scout on the Dakota prairies to the crack troop in a thriving city, all the great member ship of scouts is at this time united in celebrating the birthday of scout ing in America. Anniversary Week is the titne that the scout brother hood idea is emphasized—not this individual troop, or that one, but a great nation-wide brotherhood from coast to coast. "Anniversary Week is the time when the community’s attention is focused on the objectives of the scout program, and the splendid leadership that is given to the boy hood of the nation by over 200,000 unselfish American men. Public officials are glad on this occasion to identify themselves with the movement. The press, national magazines and radio broadcasting stations contribute their share to educating tlje public in the funda mentals of -‘ecotitiHg. church and the schools, service clubs and other organizations cooperate. "A real effort is made to show scouts that the nation appreciates the principles for which they stand and their work for the community. Scouts tn their turn endeavor to demonstrate to the community—on a nation-wide basis—the value of the training which they have re ceived. “On the evening of February 8 each scout i&_gi»e«> an opportunity to renew hi$ obligations to the oath and law. ifes a solemh and touch ing thoughtMghat on this one night of the yearthousands of these young boys'ftfdedicate themselves together to fliose ideals on which the whole sc,6ut program is based. “This is the basis of the signifi cance of anniversary week—a scout brotherhood united hi Ideals of scouting and service.’’ Scouts Need More Support. The Boy Scout movement In Shelby needs more honest backing from the men of our town. It is not especially money that we need but good honest moral backing more than anything else. We ought to give the scouts themselves and the scout leaders of our town a glad hand and lend a helping hand when called on. The leaders cannot do all the work; the boys them selves cannot do all the work, but with the support and backing of the men who are interested in scout work we could put across a program never heard of before in Shelby.

Next week we expect to publish more scout news of a local nature The following poem copied from the programs used at the annual meeting of the Piedmont council at Cleveland Springs hotel, January 15, of this year, clearly illustrates the spirit of scouting: I know a man and he lives nearby In a land called everywhere. You might not think he's a man by his hat Or the clithes he may choose to wear. But ’neath his jacket with many a patch Lies a heart more precious than gold; The heart of a man 'neath the coat of a boy— A man who is tw'elvc years old. For we never can tell what the fu ture may make Of the boys we carelessly meet. For many a congressman Is doing the chores. And presidents play in the street, The hand that is busy with play things now The reins of power will hold, So I take off my hat and I proudly salute The man who Is twelve years old!
