Helfenstein of the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland, made an official visit to St. John's Protestant Episcopal Church here this morning and administered confirmation to a class of candidates. Rector Hits Rack at Teacher LEWES, April 4 (Special). Mounting the pulpit to contest a layman's charge that the church was losing its influence with young people, the Rev. Nelson Waite Right-myer, rector of St.

Peter's Episcopal Church, yesterday confined two sermons to that topic in St. Peter's Church in the morning and nt the Presbyterian Church in the evening. He was guest speaker at the latter church. The minister's defense of youth's interest in church affairs was incited by an address made last Monday night by John Byler, a teacher of the Lewes Public School, before the Rotary Club. Mr.

Byler, who also Is an ordained minister, had stated that because "the church had lost its influence with young people, a precarious situation had arisen." and suggested that a "Youth Organization," strictly undenominational, be formed and directed by some civic organization. He thought this necessary bpcau.se the teaching of religion is prohibited in public schools. Says Young Frople Go To Church Dr. Rightmyer referred to the shaker's remarks a.s "fallacious statements." contending the present congregations of Sussex County churches are composed largely of young people. At St.

Peter's Church. said. 2G persons have been confirmed since last July, and two-thirds of thm were persons under 35 years of age. Protesting the formation of any "undenominational organization" for the teaching of boys and girls, he said "such a movement will prove to be a non-religious organization defrating its purpose." Youth can find interest in church affairs, and. at the same time, get wholesome recreation in such contacts, he said.

"However," he added. "the church's primary office Is to teach, admonish, and instruct, rather than entertain." "Young Married People" Drop Out The only class of young peopl; who manifest little interest in church affairs, he said, are young married couples, who seem to put their homes first. Even these, he said, are no cause for worry, as they eventually come back into the church as they grow older. Records of St. Peter's Church, he declared, show numerous instances of young married couples dropped from the church because of "non- attendance," whose names now are among the best churchgoers.

"There is too much talk going around about the church losing out with young people, and people are accepting it as facts. It is not so, and it is time we Christians are rising up and denying it, a such statements are entirely fallacious." Dr. Rightmyer, who took over the parish of St. Peter's at Lewes and the All Saints Church at Rehoboth Beach last summer, has centered his work in young people of the parish with marked success.
