G. Morgan declared in his sermon at services yesterday morning in the Woodside M. E. Church, Temple and Southeastern avenues. Reviewing contemporary achievement in science and the material world, the Rev.

Morgan said, "It is dangerous to trust In material things alone, although the world has never been so likely to trust in them as now. As we enjoy all these material blesaings, we must beware, 'est we forget God. We should see God in all material progress. "Disobedience of God leads to hardships; it brings distress socially, religiously and politically. Indeed, if we do not recognize God, how can We expect Him to recognize us? "Despite the great forgetfulness of the Lord in the world," the Rev.

Morgan said in closing, "the righteous shall flourish. They shall not be overcome." HI Ill-lit nnnT1m'lltllimMMM MMM Left to right Mrs. 3. B. County W.

regarded as a great advantage in life, opened the way Saturday to the fatal airplane ride taken by John Gasvoda of New York. Gasvoda, or John Gavol, as he was known in business circles, marie friends instantly, and it was his charming personality that caused Fred Maibucher, Indianapolis pilot, to Insist that Gasvoda accompany him to Wichita, to return wiin a plane. The two men had met only a few days before, and Maibucher had been enthusiastically impressed by the comradeship Gasvoda's fine charac ter offered. It was this sudden at traction for the man that caused him to go to the home of Anthony Gas voda late Thursday night and insist that his newly-found friend accom pany him on the Kansas trip. Friends Relate Story.

Fricr.ds and relatives of John Gas voda Saturday night sorrowfully re lated the story of his reluctance to go. "Why, I can't go," Gasvoda is said to have replied with a laugh. "I am Just of a vacation, and I have sent almost all my clothes to the cleaners today." He had been In Indianapolis only a week, and already had been sought out as a member of Kentucky Derby box party, and had accompanied new friends to Chicago to a house party, plans for which had grown out of the Chicago peoples' impression of the man while at the Derby. Identification Slow. Gasvoda, always pleasant, yielded to Maibucher's insistence, -and accompanied him on the train to Wichita.

Saturday the Cessna monoplane in which they were leaving Kansas City rose about one hundred feet from the field and suddenly dived straight to the earth. Maibucher, an expert aviator and maintenance superintendent of the Curiss Flying Service of Indiana, was killed instantly. Gasvoda was reported as an "unidentified passenger." and the business name of Gavol he had taken and the New York labels In his clothing made identification slow. His Indianapolis friends informed the Associated Press here who he was. A few moments before the extreme penalty for popularity was completed, Gasvoda, pleasant until death, opened his eyes and muttered, "Tako it easy, Fred.

Careful. Teke it easy." And thus John Gasvoda, r1-ways pleasant, died with a kindly admonition on his lips. The body of Maibucher will be brought to Indianapolis today and funeral services will be held at 2:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon at the Zion Evangelical Church, North and New Jersey streets. Burial will be in Washington Park cemetery. Gasvoda's body was taken to Calumet, yesterday.

ST. PAUL, May 26. OT- Settlement of a controversy, which for a decade has been a sore point In the Presbyterian church of the United States of America, Involving control of Princeton theological seminary, Princeton, N. and co fllct between "Fundamentalists" and Liberal" croups at the institution. will be sought at the church General Assembly here tomorrow.

victory for the "Liberal" group appears to be in prospect for the first time with the new moderator, Dr. Cleland B. McAfee of Chicago, sympathetic to their cause. The result of a test vote rTiaay on the ouestion of procedure in which Dr. McAfee scored a victory over Dr.

J. Gresham Machan, ultra-conserva tive member of the Princeton faculty, is regarded by delegates as signifying a complete triumph tomorrow. Would Extend President's Power. "The Liberal" program calls for creating of a single board of control for the seminary and dissolution of the two boards of trustees and di rectors, now in conflict. In addition.

it provides for extension of the power of the president to make possible effective action toward ending faculty conflict Directly opposed is the program of the ultraconservative group who seek to leave the boards as they are now constituted and to cut the powers of the president, Dr. J. Ross Stevenson, accused of "liberalism," so that he would amount to an administrative agent of the faculty and the boards. Campus Controversy Bitter. So bitter has the controversy become on the seminary campus, the assembly was Uti, that members of the two factions on the faculty have refused to associate with one another even to the extent of shaking hands.

Alumnae and friends similarly been perturbed in the matter to a point where the assembly was told that the spiritual energy or the church was being reduced. Dr. Stevenson is accused of favoring a program opening the way of theological doctrine at the seminary to new thought. From his supporters at the convention have come many assertions that Dr. Stevenson's activities have no intention of making any departure from traditional Presbyterian doctrine.

Two Steps Taken. Two important steps were taken by the assembly last week. The first provides for appointment of a com mission to negotiate with representative of other Protestant churches re- garding organic union. The churches toward which definite negotiation is proposed include the Protestant Episcopal church, the Methodist Episcopal church (North), the Metho-dlst Episcopal church (South), the Presbyterian church of the United States (South), and the Reformed church synod, generally known as the Dutch Reformed churcn. negotiations with the latter two church bodies are to be undertaken separately also.

The other oustanding action was decision to submit to the 214 Presbyteries overtures which would give women parity with men in affairs of the church. A majority of the Presbyteries must vote affirmatively for each overture oerore tney oecome me law of the church. ALLEN A.

"He was one of our best citizens Not only was he foremost In his kind of business In Indiana, but he was a very Important factor In the business growth of Indianapolis during the last quarter of a century, when he built his own business into very large proportions. He was a man of sterling character, of exceptionally sound judgment and inusual poise. With the endowment of great business ability, he was very thorough in analysis of questions brought before him for decision, and he kept himself well Informed on Important problems of the day.

"He had the qualities of real nobility. He was unfailing in his kindliness. He had the Rifts that qual ified him exceptionally for friend ships and attracted people to mm. He knew well how to be a good friend. The devotion to him of people In his employ was most unusual.

3 New Denomination Would Be Created Reformed Synod Nears Vote. Clergy and laity of the Reformed church in the United the United Brethren in Christ 'and the Evangelical synod of North America, on the eve of a vote by the General Synod of the Reformed Church upon a plan to merge these three denominations, joined last night and yoiced support of the plan at a union meeting in the Zion Evangelical Church. Representatives of the three ag nominations spoke in favor of the merger, which would create a new denomination to be known as the United Church in America, with a membership of 1,000,000 communicants. The merger and a definition of lust what is a church member are two of the important business matters that still remain for the synod to pass on in the final days of its sessions in the First Reformed Churcn nere. The United Brethren in Christ, at their recent conference in Lancaster, postponed action upon the mersrer and there are many in the general synod who believe that a similar action may be taken toaay, Want Merger at Once.

The proposal, in at least as far as the United Brethren is concerned, may be referred to a special committee. The Evangelical synod of North America and the Reformed church in the United States have similar forms of church government, while the United Brethren has a modified form of episcopacy. Because of this fact there are those in the general synod who favor effecting a merger at once with the Evangelical synod and await the time until the United Brethren in Christ will have completed their study. The Rev. Dr.

H. R. Nelbuhr, pres ident of the Eden Theological semi nary at Webster. Grove, St.l Louis, who represented the Evangelical synod of North America at the union meeting last night said: "Nine of the nineteen districts in our church which have voted upon the nlan of union either have ap proved it unanimously, or with large majorities. The Evangelical jsynod of North America is reaay to go aiong with vou in a i union.

The church union proposed by our three churches is part of a great recreative move ment in Christianity. Challenge Is Brotherhood. "The challenge thatthe Christian church places before the nations, the classes and the races of. the world is brotherhood. But the very thing that we criticize in the world we find in the church.

Church union is not a doctrinal problem. It is an ethical problem. We are divided on essentials. We need the conviction of a common purpose if we are to unite. If we have this and good will and forgiveness we can unite.

We must forget many of the things that are behind and look hopefully to the future. Church union is one step toward the coming of the kingdom of Christ on earth." The Rev. Dr. George C. Richards of Lancaster, president of the Reformed Church Theological seminary there and chairman of the general synod committee on closer union between the churches, who also sooke.

said: "We can unite onlv when we have greater convic tions to unite than the convictions which led to our division. The time is at hand, I believe, when union will be as irresistible as was the conviction to divide. While.it was necessary to divide the church, the time has now come lor tnose wno bear the name of Christ around the world to come together. Must Work for God. "John Calvin wrote that he was willing to cross ten seas for the sake of church union.

While we be- lieve it was a Kood thing for these churches to work in their respective. fields in the past, we now believe it is a better thing to unite. We want to work, not for any one denomination but for the kingdom of Dr. Richards, in appealing for a spirit of tolerance, facetiously referred to the recent action of the United Brethren, who ruled that their clergy must not smoke. He said, addressing- the representative of that denomination.

"We will not insist that your clergy smoke." "The will to unite" is more necessary than a mere plane, Dr. Richards pointed out. He sees in the present movement just the beginning of a reunion of Christendom that will continue perhaps for. several generations. Church Member Denned.

The question, "What is a church member?" was first brought before the general synod by the Philidalphia classic. The judicial commission decided that a church member is one who did any one of three things: Attended communion reguj-fly, at MERGER BIDENES'S ADDRESS TO CLASS "WARNS OF FORGETFULNESS. "Because we are busy, because we have our own concerns, there is always danger lest we 'forget, and I Bay, men, that it is a great privilege to have this memorial set aside when we may be reminded of the fact that we are under a tremendous debt," declared Merle Sidener yesterday morning in an address' to 80 men in the Christian Men Builders Class. "We are under a tremendous debt to those who established this country. How seldom do we think of the price paid by those who came here and established this land of liberty and peace.

"You and I know we never can pay for those who have died for us In various wars. Never, no matter what we do, can we pay off the principal. All we are expected to do is to pay the interest, for the interest is payable in dailly terms of ervice." The song service was led by Harry Lowe and the entire program was broadcast over WFBM, Indianapolis Power and Light Company station, WOMEN'S VOTE EDUCATIONAL, IASTOR SATS IN DISCUSSION. "The chief value of woman in politics Is education. While we often make fun of the woman at the polls, yet we will be surprised at the re markable education value we have received therefrom.

Her influence for prohibition is so great that it is possible that prohibition will become an issue settled as has been the Slavery question." This answer was given last night by Dr. Edwin W. Dunlavy, during a question-box discussion at the Roberts Park M. E. Church.

"I think the influence of women will be against war. They know the value of human life, what It cost, and they are not willing to give con sent to this great international waste of our men. They are interested in child labor laws, and the advance' ment of projects of untold value to democracy, and they are organized to carry through their convictions." Mrs. Tunney's Recovery Assured by Specialist Called From Germany BRIONI, Italy, May 26. W-Mrs.

Gene Tunney will- be as well and sound as ever within a few weeks. her husband was assured today by the sureeon who had performed an emergency operation for an abscessed appendix four weeks ago. A rise in temperature a few days ago had so alarmed the former heavyweight champion boxer, who was married only last October, that he hurriedly called upon Prof. Arthur Wolf Meyer in Berlin. After his examination of the patient, the specialist declared the increase in temperature was normal in such cases and that there was nothing to become unduly excited about.

"The average old-fashioned edU' cator was much concerned with the school as an institution, the building and the class rooms." he said. "He was Interested in maintaining discipline, in passing his students on to the next grade and in covering a certain number of pages in the book in a sseclned time. "The individual child is the xui- crum of the institution at which the progressive educator presides.

He is allowed to assimilate Knowledge as his mind develops. If he can cover the entire semester's geography or spelling work in a month he is allowed to do it." Mr. Lies emphasized, however, that his opinions on education haa no re lation to the Indianapolis scnoois, as he is not at all familiar with the local system. Will Make Report.
