Scripture, John Hi, RY THE REV. GEORGE FRAXKLI.Y SNYDER, Minister, First United Brethren Church. There is no element so needful in ENDS14YEARS Rally and Promotion Day Services to Mark Dedicatory services for the East Thirty-eighth Street Christian Church, formerly known as the Vernon Christian Church, will held tomorrow In the remodeled chapel at Thirty-eighth street and state road No. 67.

The Rev. E. L. Day, secretary-evangelist of. the Christian Church Union of Indianapolis, will make the dedication addresses.

First services will be held at 10:30 o'clock tomorrow morning, when the to bring to the world the essence of Christian character and fortitude. Dean Stanley writes: "Whatever we can conceive of devoted tenderness, of deep affection, of intense admiration for goodness, we must conceive of him who, even in the palace of the high priest and at the foot of the cross, was the inseparable companion of his Lord; whatever we can conceive of a gentleness and holiness ever increasing in depth and purity, that we must conceive of the heart and mind which produced the gospel and epistles of St. but he that doeth the will of My Father which is In heaven." This was John's gospel of life. This was his sermon as he preached it and lived it every day of his life. In the third epistle, which he ad dresses unto Gaius, a layman, who has been found faithful and steadfast in the midst of all circumstances, reveals the aged apostle watching with all zeal and earnestness, the progress of his beloved church.

His time is drawing near the close and the sunset shadows have already begun to gather for him In the vale of death, yet his eye is clear and his mind alert to the activities of that greatest of all institutions of which his life has been a definite part. He is quick to note strength of character and invinci-bleness of faith on the part of the laymen of the church and just as quick to rebuke those who lack these qualities. To him there was no greater joy than to hear that the followers of Christ were walking in truth. Sham and pretense he couli not endure and bickerings among the members of the church he would not tolerate. To him the preaching of the gospel was a sublime trust and he could not behold it lightly proclaimed either from the pulpit or as men lived it in the shop, the factory or on the street.

It Is this same spirit that must characterize the church of today. The gospel of the Lord Is foundational. In its observance lies the peace and progress of the world. The church holds in her hands the keys to the future hope of the nations; keys that she has failed to use. We have not been as faithful as was John but have kept the Master in the background.

We have thought of him as living and working only within the four walls of a church. And that fact perhaps caused some one to write such lines as these: Dim trackn of time obscure Thoap olden days from me: Thy voice comes strange o'er yeara of change; How should we follow Thee? Comes faint and far that voice O'er fields of Galilee; The vision fades In ancient shades-How can we follow Thee? Perhaps we have been guilty of obscuring the figure of the Christ and making him to appear a dim outworn figure. If so, it is only because we have failed to bring him out into the open of life; to make him walk again the highways and the byways; to let him work once more in the shop and dine once again at the tables of men. Jesus Christ, John's Christ is still the powerful Son of God and we are still, like John, his minister to the people. Association; P.

A. Wood, president of the Marion County Christian Church Sunday School Association; Mrs. O. H. Greist, the Rev.

John H. Booth, Dr. James W. Putnam, president of Butler University; Dr. Stephen J.

Mr. Day will speak on "The Greatness of the Church." Music will be led by the Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Virgil P.

Brock. The final service of the day will be at 7:30 o'clock, when the Rev. Mr. Day will speak on "The Supreme Mission of the Church." The church was organized on the site of its remodeled structure Oct. life of the world today as this.

We have enough of doctrine, we are well fixed with ritual, we are not suffering from lack of form and discipline and we are not ignorant of the best modes of worship, but we are lacking in the application of Christian standards to tho art of daily living. The charge has been brought upon John that he is visionary; that his writings grow eloquent as he pictures the scenes surrounding his Lord and that he has added word-color to the original meaning of the Lord's statements. However this may be, this fault, If it is a fault, is offset by the fact that his very life is eloquent in grace and dignity and righteousness. This is the thing of supreme moment. To know what goodness is is one thing, to be good and to go good is another thing.

To see humanity in its need is one thing, to supply the needs of humanity is another. To know the will of God through the teaching of Jesus Christ is one thing, to do the will of God is quite another. With this in mind Jesus said, "Not everyone that saith unto Me, Lord! Lord! shall enter the kingdom of heaven; John, the Beloved Disciple Early in his association with the Master he won this title and it became to him a characteristic, a mark of distinction, by which we remember his life and labor. One can almost hear the heart-throbs and feel the pulse-beats of this writer as he records the gospel narrative and writes his letters. Love is not passive in his life, but active and powerful, expressing itself in practical goodness as it relates itself to all life, linking together human need and divine grace.

His life is the striking example of one whose intimate relationship with the Master in the early years of his life resulted In an ever deepening and changing of the inner man, until the forces of his inner life were fashioned in the likeness of the Galilean. There is no doubt' but that this "Son of Thunder" has done as much as any one of tho twelve Another writer expresses his view i of the disciples in the following I 28, 1928, and later was moved to a location on Kitley avenue, where a church was erected and dedicated words: "We see in the beloved disciple the example of one who combined with the most spiritual perceptions of Christianity a due regard to its practical bearings. Some people are only dreamers about the sublimities of religion; the poetry or philosophy of the gospel alone they care for. Now John, though different In his cast of mind, was not less practical than the writer James. In the epistle of John you see the ab June 30, 1929.

The Kitley avenue building was moved to the new site and combined with a building that formerly housed a night club. The Rev. C. C. Dobson has served as pastor since 1930.
