Need Help for Quake Sufferers, Is Report Heroic efforts are being made, it was announced this week by the Near Fast Relief, to rush food and funds to the region devastated a few days ago in Armenia, especially to the survivors of the earthquake which virtually de- stroyed Leninakan, formerly Alexan- dropol, Erivan and thirty-seven nearby towns. Radiograms received by the execu- tive officers of the Near East Relief in Chicago urged immediate assistance for American relief workers and 9,000 orphans who living in tents and hovels face extreme suffering perhaps death from the blizzard which came as a sequel to the seismic shock. Gospel and Rush Butler of Locust road, Win- netka, a trustee of the Sunday Eve- ning club in Orchestra hall, read the scripture lesson last Sunday evening when Dr. Lynn Hough of Detroit, for- mer president of Northwestern univer- sity, gave his famous address, "The Voice of Saint Francis." 'Must Place Bible in Own Background to Understand It A large group of women was pres- ent at Rev. J. A. Richard's talk on the Gospel of John last Tuesday morn- "wn 'o one who has found difficulty at times in ing, in spite of the storm. feeling a continuity of thought in this gospel, these talks have been very illu- minating, it is explained. If one reads without a knowledge of the questions regard to Jesus in the Jewish mind and in the Greek mind of the day one does not readily see why John chooses his il- lustrations as he does." "One of the great questions that con- fronted the early christians. was the kind of death that Jesus had suffered. It was not easv to connect the death on the cross with the Son of God. Whv should He submit to such an end? John was trving to tell the peo- ple of his day, that the attitude of Jesus in this connection was a God- like attitude. In the tenth, eleventh and twelfth and thirteenth chapters of John we may learn what this writer believed to be Jesus's teaching about immortality and the eternal life. "In the light of the most recent scholarship directed toward the study of this gospel, Mr. Richards is able to translate into terms which shall be convincing to the popular thought of his day. We begin to see that we must put the bible back into its own back- ground, if we are to understand it, then we may be able to translate some of its eternal truths into our own idiom. There is to be more of the talks and the hour is 10 o'clock next Tuesday in the Neighborhood room of Community House. which were arising with HOLLAND BULBS Darwin Cottage, and Early Tulips, Hyacinths, Narcissi, Crocuses, etc., of exceptionally fine quality.
