SAFETY TE GRADUATESOF DE PAUW HEAR PACIFIST LEADER Individual Conduct Is Topic of Manhattan Pastor.

SELF CONTROL IS URGED Special te Tim Iodiaaapoiis XewiJ QREENCASTLE, Ind, June "Too many person today are seeking freedom by restricting the action of others rather than by restraining their own." the Rev. Ralph W. Sockman. pastor' of the Madison Avenue Metb odlst church, New York, told the graduating class of' DePauw University today, Although the Rev. Mr.

Sockman is regarded a one of the country' leading pacifists, his talk dealt almost entirely with individual conduct. As chairman of the Methodist world peace committee, which opposes war, the presence here of the Rev. Mr. Korrrnan as commencement speaker attracted' considerable attention because of the spotlight focused on Dr. O.

Bromley Oxman. president of the university, by W. P. Evans, Indianapolis DePauw alumnns. Evans had charged before meeting of the In dianapolis DePauw alumni chapter that under Dr.

Oxnam. "sex, sovietism and socialism" was emphasized at De Pauw. Dr. Oxnam is listed as sec retary of the peace conference organi sation of wnicn the Rev. Mr.

sock man waa made chairman In Decem ber. 1930. As life grows more said the Rev. Mr. Sockman.

"we have to be more alert to the repercussions of our conduct. The busini stagnation shows how Impossible iso lation of any kind 1. Yet hair blind selfish individualism still mas querades under the guise of noble term like patriotism, personal liberty and democracy, and thereby threatens our business recovery, our internal or derilness and our international com ity. v1 New Iaterpreiatlesi Set In our ecmpact and complex world." he "we can have a smooth working of society only as citizens strive first to keep themselves within bounds before they tighten me on others. "One primary source of our criminal lawlessness "and mcral chaos is that we hare relied too much on social control and neglected the cultivation of self control.

But self control must be interpreted today in terms of our. lnterconected urban life and not in terms of the old Isolated frontier. "The American home might be thought to have lost almost all its Influence if account 1 taken only of direct parental control, but when we consider the atmosphere as well It is seen that for better or for worse, the home Is as formative a. factor aa ever. "The church might appear waning force If one Judged only by the statistics of attendance, but when we consider the way that organized religion is affecting the public attitude upon social and international questions, we see that the church's shadow of Influence falls far beyond the boundaries of its membership." In closing, the Rev.

Mr. Sockman asserted that the common man In the crowd must be made to realize he Is ft creator of atmosphere which helps to make others either better or worse. The respectable person who go about their self centered existence with no assumption of responsibility for the civic and religious welfare are in reality weakening the public morale," he said. They contribute to the general spirit of indifference, which permits the prevalence of vice and crime. Dangerous a are the currents of lawlessness which sweep through the gutters of society, even more sinister are the social Inertia and evasions of the so called decent "man in the street.

"There 1 temper of independence today," the Rev. Mr. Sockman said. The public likes to cherish the belief that it la thinking for itself." He urged the students to exercise self control. Unless you do," he warned, democracy and Christianity will fall in America.

The men who go out for temperance, for peace and Industrial development are not thinking of. their shadows." Classed as Noted Preacher. Dr. Oxnam. In introducing the Rev.

Mr, Sockman. characterized him as one of the three great preachers in America, listing S. Parks Cadman and Emerson Fosdick as the other two. In return, the Rev. Mr.

Sockman, in acknowledging the Introduction, referred to Dr. Oxnam your courageous president." The graduating class was composed of 295 students. The exercises were held in Bowman gymnasium. which waa filled to overflowing. Prayer was offered by the Rev.
