Friends to Visit Republic Project Quakers Aid Miners To Construct Homes The first pilgrimage to Penn-Craft in five years, will be. made tomorrow by members of the Friends' Society. Penn-Craft is the depression-born project sponsored by the Friends Service Committee to aid rehabilitation of unemployed miners near Republic, Pa. It was through the aid of the Quakers that a modern community has been constructed. Unemployed miners were given financial assistance in the construction of homes, which were built from stone quarried near the community.

They co-operated in the building of the homes, with the size depending on the needs of individual families. Loans were limited to $2000 a dwelling, which required the men to do most of the work themselves. The project is under the direction of David Day At the present time, the Friends'! Service Committee is sponsoring a work camp for young people near Penn-Craft, where a new project may be opened. There will be no meeting prior to 4 p. m.

tomorrow when a gath ering will be held near the project. Those arriving before noon are re quested to bring their lunches. He Says Foreign Policy Hinders China By WILLIAM J. FAUST Press Church Editor The Luther League of America, celebrating its Golden Jubilee, will hold a rally tomorrow at West Field, Munhall, at 4:30 p. m.

Speakers will be Rev. Charles Reinbrecht, a missionary from China, and Rev. F. Eppling Rein-artz, pastor of Holy Trinity Lutheran Churcb of New York City. If it is raining the rally will be held at Syria Mosque.

Rev. Reinbrecht has spent 18 years in China with his wife and two daughters. Janet Stell, 15 and Georgeanna, 13. They were interned for three years in Japanese camps. "China's destiny depends on world politics and the relationship of Russia and the United States," he said.

"America's inconsistent foreign policies are hindering China re covery. Regarded As Liberators "China, Korea and Indo-China regarded the United States as liberators and were hopeful of speedy recovery, but we neglected to follow up and abandoned he added. "The whole world is now covered with a question mark of uncertainty." The Rejnbrecht family was in terned at Tsingtao and Weihsien, and suffered only from inadequate food. The Japanese, supplied them with Kaoliang an African corn which only the poorest coolies eat Their diet, lacking in fate and vegetables, was just sufficient to sustain life. Rev.

Reinbrecht said they were fortunate in being interned in one of the better camps maintained by the Maps. Admires Generalissimo Rev. Reinbrecht admires the policies, of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, whose leadership has helped to unite China. "The common people have confidence in the Natiopal Govern ment," he said. "The Communists are greatly in the minority and con sist of three classes.

They are the Communists, the bandits and peasants controlled by force. The Generalissimo is a Christian and has stuck to his guns, and even non-Christian leaders recognized the value of men trained in Christianity during the war. His program is to strengthen the 13 Christian universities," the mis sionary said. "But China cannot be held down, and even during the war schools were being built and roads were constructed within 30 miles, of the front lines," he said. Returning to China Rev.

Reinbrecht is going "home" in about a year to rebuild his dwelling and mission in Kiaohsien, where he has a congregation of 2500. He plans to spend the rest of his life in China. He went to China in 1928 after attending Philadelphia Lutheran Seminary, Union Theological Sem inary and Columbia University. He was a former coach of Harris- burg Academy. Rev.

Reinbrecht will speak on the "Call to Youth." i Rev. Reinartz will speak on "Mis sion of Transmission." He is the grandson of one of the founders of the Passavant Hospital, and was former promotional director of the Lutheran Church. He attended Gettysburg College and Philadel phia Theological Seminary, where he was an instructor in language. In 1945 he was appointed pastor of the Trinity Lutheran Church of New York City. Religious Questions Q.

What is the Protestant teaching regarding the confession of sin? A. Protestants hold that confession of sin may and should be made by the sinner directly to God, and that such confession is a prerequisite to forgiveness and alone is necessary to secure it. They maintain that while the confession of faults one to another may be spiritually helpful, it is not essential and there should be no need of mediation between God and man save that of the "man Christ Jesus." Q. What do Jews mean by the word "Benshen?" A. Derived from the Latin benedicere, to say yace, "benshen" is a colloquialism for "saying grace" after meals.

Q. Is Latin the official liturgical language of the -Roman Catholic Church? Q. What American Church is most closely allied to the Church of 'England? A. The Protestant Episcopal Church is the literal descendant of the Church of England, and dates, as a separate American ecclesiastical body, from 17S9. THE SIXTH UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH DR.

This Week in Religion Conferences StudyChurch's Social Mission Reliq ious Groups To Widen Influence By Religious News Service More co-operation by laymen in the church's social mission is the keynote being sounded as religious bodies for the first time since 1941 resume fall schedules of summer conferences and meetings. In the coming months, problems in political, economic, and social fields will be up for discussion as adult and youth groups ponder ways in which to widen the churches' influence in these spheres. Main objectives of the gatherings are to train and prepare Christians for service in and through the church, and to inform church mem bers of the obligations and onportu nities confronting Christians in the era of peace and reconstruction, a.

cau to American youth to take an enlightened interest in economic and social issues was pounded when students, faculty advisers, and religious workers from colleges in Washington, Oregon, iaano, Montana, and British Co Jumma took part in a week-long conierence at Seabeck, spon forea by the Student Christian Movement of the Pacific Northwest, Ballot Is Important Speakers' stressed the importance or the ballot determining gov ernmental policy and advocated the formation of "Christian pressure groups" to foster social legislation, racial equality, and adequate housing, and to oppose all trends toward the growth of "bigotry and lascism" in the United States. Touching specifically on the evils of racism a problem which looms large in conference discussions generally this year conferees warned that the Northwest is developing a racial pattern similar to that pre vailing in the Southern states. Delegates were urged to help offset the trend by developing programs leading to interracial understand ing and co-operation. Kace relations was also a topic when representatives of 190,000 Congregational Christian young people met at the National Council nf Pilgrim Fellowship at Crete, Neb. Following the example of the denomination General Council which met at Grinnell, Iowa, the conference decided to make racial good will a major Emphasis.

Support McMahon Bill Exploring the subject of atomic energy fast becoming a No. 1 item on church discussion agendas the group sent to government leaders telegrams supporting the Senate version of the McMahon bill for civilian control of the atomic bomb; signed petitions to congressmen for immediate stoppage of atom bomb production; and supported the Atcheson-Lilienthal plan for atomic energy. Other major conferences this summer are the four Christian Ashrams to be conducted by the Federal Council of Churches; the National Adult Work Planning Conference sponsored by six leading church and missionary organizations at Lake Geneva, from July 23 to August the Youth for Christ Conference to take place at Winona Lake, July 14-21; and the series of five conferences one haa already taken place organized by the United Christian Youth Movement, co-operative youth program of 40 denominations and 40 state councils of churches working through the Interdenominational Council of Religious Education.

He is Gene Kielek; 18, of 3721 Charlotte a "sea-going" boy employed by the United Church Service of New Windsor, Md. He is one of a crew of 34 who have enlisted to serve as handlers for 840 dairy cows aboard the Sagi naw Victory, which has sailed for Danzig. The herd is to replenish the dairy stock in war-stricken Poland.

He wanted to tour the world and enlisted in the service after completing his studies at Schenley High School. The United Church Service Center provided the opportunity, and the trip usually takes six weeks. His only duties aboard ship will be to feed and water the animals. There are many ships engaged in the relief service, and 8000 men have been recruited as nautical cowboys to transport 200,000 head of animals during 1946 from American ports. All types of food and clothing have been sent to destitute nations, and shipments are being processed daily.

These shipments consist of shoes, clothing, bedding, canned foods, soap, kitchen utensils, tools and toys.

Hawley will speak tomorrow at 11 a. m. on "Christianity in a Woi-J Crisis." "easy religions." to Methodists, I was both surprised and amused, for I had grown up in a very strict Methodist home in which we didn't dance, play cards, attend theaters, or do a hundred other things that even Methodists do today. And we were inclined to think of our Episcopalian friends and neighbors, who did most, of these things, as members of one of the "easy religions," though we hadn't used the phrase. It goes to show how little we understand one ahother, and how much there is in the point of view.

There are, of course, easygoing people in all demomina-tions, just as in all denominations there are earnest souls whose religion is the supreme and dominating thing in their lives. True Christianity is not an easy religion. Jesus never offered His disciples case or pleasure. He offered them joy. He bad them In a very dark hour to be of good cheer.

He spoke of rich rewards of service in the Kingdom of Heaven. But He spoke of sacrifice, of losing and leaving certain things which in the eyes of the world were greatly to be desired. In contrast, Jesus spoke of the Kingdom as a pearl of great price, which one should be willing to sell everything to buy. The late C. Sylvester Home, fa mous minister of Whitefleld's Tabernacle, in London, England, once wrote a book under the title, "The Life That Is Easy." It was the Christian life of which he was writing, but he was writing it from the standpoint of the Chris tian who had accepted the full obligations of the Christian way and the disciplines of the Christian life.

The ease that he wrote of was the ease of mastery, through long and intimate fellowship with the Master. The distinctive thing about the religion of the Jews, from early times, was the insistence upon the supreme demands of a righteous Clear and plain was the commandment, "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me." Holiness was the law of life, and there was no part of life free from the presence of God and the obligation to serve Him. In this, Jesus fulfilled the law and the prophets. He gave His followers no formal tasks and set up no artificial observances or duties. He demanded no.

allegiance to Himself, except in the same way that He gave allegiance to the Father. But He insisted upon loyalty to the Truth. There is no half-way place in Christianity, and that is why so many professing Christians never find either ease or happiness in their religion. It is in the lives of those who have given themselves fully to Christ that the power, beauty and true satisfaction of the Christian way are found and revealed.
