TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1930 THE EVENING HLTRONITE. HURON. 8. D. Lutherans Assist In Unemployment Every Congregation In America Is Asked To Appoint Committees For Relief MILWAUKEE, Oct.

congregation of the United Lutheran church, comprising in all some 1,400,000 members, was urged today to appoint a committee on employment to assist members, of that church in securing work and to cooperate with other community agencies in obtaining employment for the enforced idle. The suggestion was presented to the Lutheran convention in session here in the reporl of its Inner Mi-sion Board which has oversight of the -welfare work of the church. The welfare agency of the Lutherans was impelled to take this practical step from the convention, as expressed at the Convention today, that "the united efforts of federal, state and city governments in co-operation with great corporations and private enterprises will not be able to cope successfully with the situation without the moral and material support of the religious forces. The present unemployment with its long trail, of fc hardships, and witn a bitterness which may lead to lawlessness, is the more serious because it is world-wide and threatens a world crisis under- radical leadership. It requires more than mere welfare work, for this leaves the souls of men untouched; and more than mere preaching, for this leaves unsatisfied the pangs of hunger.

The world today needs the combination of both, the preaching of the gospel as the message of God'-, love to men, and the works of mercy as the proof of the truth of the gospel." The Convention was asked to congratulate President Hoover for his statesmanship exhibited in calling conferences of government offiicals and industrial leaders to endeavor to prevent the business depression from becoming unnecessarily Kearchcr directs Work Among the numerous ways in which the Lutheran Inner Mission Board reaches out to help the poor, the orphans, the aged or the afflicted through many institutions of mercy is its work recently undertaken for the deaf and deaf rnutcs. So far. this work has been the 'direction of Pastor E. F. Kearcher of Philadelphia who ministers to congregations of minutes'in New York, Washington, Philadelphia, and other cities in eastern Pennsylvania, while the Rev.

R. E. Sibberson in Kansas is serving a number of congregations in the middle west. Attention was called in the convention to the fact that the Rev. Mr.

Sibberson. who himself is neither deaf nor rnute. has learned the sign language and has devised an entirely new way of cotn- municating with deaf-mutes and blind deaf-mutes. This aroused much interest. The new medium of communication, which is declared to have opened a new world to many of these afflicted folks, consists of a glove upon which are printed in specific positions the letters of the alphabet and the numbers from one to ten.

For the use of those who can see, the letters are merely written or stamped in ink on a cotton glove. Messages can be communicated by successively pointing out the letters which spell out the desired words and sentences. For example, the tip of the thumb is marked with letter and the three next letters in the alphabet occupy the entire thumb, while the letter occupies the end position of the index finger anr so on to the final letters running from the little finger into the palm of the hand. The Arabic numerals are given positions on the back of the thumb and fingers. For the blind, the letters and numerals are represented by Braille characters, but the positions on the glove are the same so that pressure on the end of the thumb indicates the letter This novel device has attracted a great deal of attention, not only among Luth- but many other organizations aid- Ing the blind, deaf and mute.

The doors of Methodist. Presbyterian and Episcopal cfiurches have been opened to Pastor Sibberson and the unusual glove has been sent to many states and foreign countries. The gloves are made by volunteer workers under the direction of the Inner Mission Board and distributed without charge, a wealthy Jew who is friendly to the work bearing the expense. At an annual expenditure of $3,000,000 the United Lutheran welfare activities occupy a place in the front rank among Protestant bodies in this country- "Some 1.300 orphan boys and girls find training and education in 15 homes. Three hun- dred aged men and women are taken care of in 17 homes.

There are 8 hos- pitals which each year admit some 500 patients. 4 homes for 120 defective children and adults. 15 city Inner Mission Societies following wide programs of service. There is under way a plan I wherebv Inner Mission work, especially Just Arrived! Many More New Styles!

Effective work it now being done in such ports as New York City, Baltimore, Boston, Montreal, Winnipeg and Houston.

Continue Collections The convention was informed by the Board of Ministerial Pensions and Relief through the secretary, Mr. Harry Kodges, of Philadelphia that the campaign started several years ago to double the pensions retired ministers and of widows and dependent children had resulted so far in the collection of only out of the total of $4,178,065 subscribed. The convention voted to con- the work of collection until the entire amount was obtained. In consequence of the increased fund thus far obtained the Board reported that it had added S100 a year to the pensions ministers, missionaries and widows. The Rev.

Dr. John Weidley, president of the National Lutheran Home for the Aged, Washington, D. made a stirring appeal on the floor of the convention for more adequate support of that institution. Dr. Weidley pointed put that this home is filled to its capacity with old men and women, and that it has a waiting list greater than its present capacity.

For forty years this mag- niflcant institution has been supported by the Lutherans of America and its inmates come from all parts of the country. The activities of 160 deaconesses through motherhouses in Baltimore and Philadelphia were reported to the convention by Dr. Wm. A. Wade, president of the Deaconess Board and Dr.

Charles E. Hay. secretary, both of Baltimore. An increasing demand for young women to serve as was stressed, and the church was asked to contribute more liberally to the support of their work in collection to be made on February 1st. At 4:30 this afternoon the convention paused in its consideration cf business and spent a half hour in a service in memory of those who had died durng Ihe biennium.

Conducted by the necro- logist, the Rev James F. Lambert, D. Catasaqua. the service recognized and extolled the labors of 88 pastors and of laymen and women prominent in the church's life. Extension Service To Hold Conference BROOKINGSrOct li-The week Oct.
