ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BISHOP AND COUNCIL

May 6, 1931

To the Thirty-third Annual Council of the Diocese:

The Bishop and Council respectfully reports:

That during the year four meetings have been held at the Pro-Cathedral at Mishawaka. On May 27, 1930, the Council was reorganized and the following were made Chairmen of the several Departments.

Missions and Church Extension . The Rev. Walter J. Lockton

Religious Education . The Rev. Earl Ray Hart, LL. D.

Social Service . The Rev. Peter Langendorff

Publicity . The Rev. Albert L. Schrock

Finance . Mr. Seth F. Green

Field . The Rev. Forest B. B. Johnston

Owing to the serious illness of Father Johnston, the Rev. Albert L. Schrock was appointed Vice Chairman, to take charge of the Fall Campaign of the Field Department.

St. Andrew’s Mission, Valparaiso, having suffered by the removal of many members, and the depression of the times, becoming vacant, the Council approved the action of the Department of Missions in continuing the appro¬ priation to the Mission from June 1st to Dec. 31st, 1930, for the purpose of making payment on the principal of the mortgaged indebtedness of the Mission.

On October 2, 1930, the Treasurer reported that, in order to meet the financial obligations of the Diocese, he had found it necessary to borrow from the bank $3,320, on which interest was due amounting to $69.18, and there were unpaid bills amounting to $1,672.16. At the same time there was due from different parishes large amounts on their assessments for Diocesan Expenses. On recommendation of the Finance Committee the Treasurer was instructed to write to those who were delinquent in their payments, urging immediate and regular payments in order to relieve the pressure upon the Treasury.

The following resolution was received from the Department of Missions:

Resolved: That it is the sense of the Department of Missions that the Missionary policy of this Diocese should be changed ; That the office of Archdeacon be discontinued, and the different Missions be placed each in charge of the Rector of some adjacent Parish who shall hold Sunday services afternoon or evening if possible, and make suitable provisions for the Holy Communion during the week.

The resolution was unanimously adopted, and the Department of Mis¬ sions was requested to present plans for conducting the Missionary work along the proposed lines at the next meeting.

The plans of the Field Department for conducting the fall Campaign for the Church’s Program, and for the Conference of Clergy and Laymen at South Bend, Oct. 21 were heartily commended by the Council.

At the meeting January 8, 1931, Mr. Fred N. Smith submitted his resig¬ nation of the office of Treasurer of the Diocese, on account of the increasing and pressing duties in connection with the First National Bank, and the “Susie H. Beiger Home” and the “Dodge Old Peoples’ Home” about to be constructed.

The resignation was accepted by the Council, to take effect when his successor should be appointed, and had qualified. The Secretary was in¬ structed to express to Mr. Smith the great regret of the members of the

24 THIRTY-THIRD ANNUAL COUNCIL (May

Council that he feels it necessary to relinquish the office of Treasurer and also the high appreciation of the valuable service which he has rendered to this Diocese in the efficient conduct of the business of the office which he has so ably filled.

Consent was given to the request of the National Council that Father Deis be given time and opportunity to speak on the program of the Annual Council of the Diocese.

The Annual Reports of the Treasurer of the Diocese, and of the Treasurer of Missionary Funds were presented and read.

Authority was given to have the accounts of the Treasurer of the Diocese, and of the Treasurer of Missionary Funds properly audited by Mr. W. H. Young, Public Accountant of Mishawaka.

The Secretary was instructed to have the annual Reports of both Treas¬ urers printed, and distributed to the members of the Annual Council, instead of having them read at the session.

The request of the National Council concerning the “Askings” of the Diocese for “Advance work” during the next Triennium, was referred to the Deoartment of Missions, and on their recommendation was answered as follows:

“If the Dromises of the Diocese of Chicago to provide $10,000 for the advance work in the Calumet district and that of the Diocese of Milwaukee to provide $7,600 for the Hungarian Mission at South Bend, are fulfilled, thus covering the Askings of this Diocese three years ago, the Diocese of Northern Indiana will ask nothing for Advance work during coming Trien¬ nium.”

On recommendation of the Department of Missions, the income from the Memorial Endowment Fund for Missions, appropriated for a Deaf-Mute Missionary, but not used was returned and added to the principal of the Memorial Fund. A Fund accumulated several years ago, and now held by a communicant of the Church at Argos, who wished to be relieved of its care, was also voted to be added to the principal of the Memorial Fund.

The plans of the Department of Missions for the care of the Mission Stations by adjacent Rectors of Parishes were presented, and approved by the Council.

The following was then adopted. “Resolved : That the arrangements with the Ven. Joseph W. Gubbins as Archdeacon be terminated March 1, 1931, and that the Office of Archdeacon of the Diocese be then abolished.

The results of the Every Member Canvass were announced by the Chairman of the Field Department, showing the pledges of the parishes were for 1931, $7,490.76.

The pledge of the Diocese to the National Council for 1931 was author¬ ized to be made, $5,000, including the Children’s Lenten Offering.

On recommendation of the Dep’t. of Religious Education, it was resolved that the money received through the Mite Box Offering, should all be sent to the National Council.

A resolution was adopted instructing the Department of Missions to take some action to discipline the Missions receiving aid from the Diocesan Funds and contributing nothing to the Missionary Cause.

At a meeting held April 2d, 1931, the Bishop announced that he had appointed Mr. James H. Haberly, of Fort Wayne, Treasurer of the Diocese, to succeed Mr. Fred N. Smith, resigned, and the appointment was confirmed by the Council. Mr. Haberly who was present was welcomed as a member of the Council.

THIRTY-THIRD ANNUAL COUNCIL

The Treasurer of Missionary Funds reporting that a considerable amount is needed to make up the $3,000.00 pledged at the last Council for Advance Work in North Dakota, for aiding in building the Rectory at Rugby, a dis¬ cussion followed as to how the amount should be raised. It was however, determined to leave the matter for the action of the Annual Council.

Respectfully submitted,

Lewis C. Rogers, Secretary.

On motion the report was received, and ordered printed in the Journal; the Budgets to be considered together with the Finance Committee’s Report.

On motion of The Rev. James E. Foster the Reports of the different Departments of the Bishop and Council, several of which had been printed and distributed to the members of this body, it was ordered that they should be published in the Journal, with¬ out being read at this session.

The following were presented:

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF MISSIONS

May 6, 1931

To the Bishop of the Diocese, and the Thirty-third Annual Council:

The Department of Missions of the Bishop and Council respectfully report:

During the Conciliar year the following have served on the Department: The Rev. Walter J. Lockton, Chairman; Dean Rogers, Secretary; The Ven. Joseph W. Gubbins, Archdeacon, (to Feb. 15, 1931) ; The Rev. W. J. Cordick, The Rev. G. J. Childs, The Rev. James E. Foster, Mr. Henry P. Conkey, Mr. Glen R. Sawyer; Mr. Archie Price, and Mr. D. J. Campbell, Treasurer of Missionary Funds.

During the year four meetings have been held, at which the needs and conditions of the Various Missions of the Diocese have been canvassed, and fully considered. The general financial depression and industrial conditions, together with unemployment, which have so greatly affected many of the Parishes of the Diocese, have also brought distress upon the different Missions. There have been also removals of- families, often of those having greater ability to support the work of the Church as it is conducted in the weaker Missions, thus causing those remaining to become discouraged, and looking to this Department for the help which we should like to extend, generously, but which the condition of the Missionary Treasury prevents. As far as we are able we have endeavored to cope with - the situation, and render such counsel and assistance as is possible under the circumstances.

The Church at Bristol was struck by lightning, and badly damaged. The insurance which had been carried enabled the building to be restored and it once more is being used for the regular services given.

St. Andrew’s Church, Kokomo, for some years past, a self-supporting Parish, and contributing generously to the Church’s Program, has been hard hit, by deaths, and by unemployment of the members. A Canvass of the Parish revealed that but $800 could be raised for the payment of the Salary of a Priest, and the Parish was for some months without regular ministrations. The Department found it necessary to appropriate a sufficient sum to aid in sustaining the work in this important field, and since Feb. 1st the services and ministrations of the Church have been maintained.

THE DIOCESE OF NORTHERN INDIANA

Valparaiso through the removal of many supporting families has suffered greatly and the mortgage upon the Rectory was threatening the loss of the property. The Department therefore, as a vacancy occurred, by the removal of the Priest in charge, continued the appropriation to the Mission for the balance of 1930 for the purpose of making payment on the principal of the mortgage.

Others of our Missions have been more or less affected by these discour¬ aging conditions, and it has been necessary to give help as we have been able.

Trinity Hungarian Church, South Bend, being promised aid by the Diocese of Milwaukee, in the general effort in the “Advance” work of the General Church, found a splendid opportunity to purchase the lot needed for the proposed Parish Building, at an advantageous price, but had only the ability to pay a part of the sum needed. In order that the opportunity should not * be lost, the Department loaned the Mission enough to make the required payment. The loan to be repaid when the Diocese shall have raised the promised amount for the “Advance.”

For some time there has been the growing conviction in the minds of manv in the Department, that a change should be made in the method of conducting the Missionary work; that the Missions needed more frequent services, and more constant and regular Pastoral care than has been possible under the existing conditions. After long and careful deliberation it was determined to present the following resolution, with a recommendation that it be adopted by the Bishop and Council.

Resolved: That there should be a change in the Missionary policy of this Diocese; that the office of Archdeacon should be discontinued, and the different Missions each placed in charge of the Rector of some adjacent Parish, who would be able to give more frequent services, weekly if possible, on Sundav afternoon or evening, and make suitable provision for a monthly administration of the Sacrament of the Altar.

This being unanimously approved by the Bishop and Council, the De¬ partment was requested to submit a feasible plan by which these changes could be effected. The Department has complied with the instructions, and the plans proposed have been also approved by the Bishop and Council. It is earnestly hoped that the Priests to whom this extra duty has been assigned, will heartily co-operate with the Departments, and the Bishop in undertaking the care of these children of the Church.

. The Department presents its Budget for the year 1932, already approved by the Bishop and Council, and asks that it be adopted by the Annual Council of the Diocese.

REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF RELIGIOUS

EDUCATION

To the Thirty-Third Annual Council oe the Diocese:

The following report of the Department of Religious Education is re¬ spectfully submitted.

During the year 1930, two meetings of the Department were held. One at Michigan City at which time there was a fair representation of the mem¬ bers of the Department and plans were talked over. The other a short budget meeting at St. Paul’s Pro-Cathedral in Mishawaka.

During the year, the following have served as members of the Depart¬ ment:

Rev. Earl Ray Hart, LL. D., Chairman; Rev. Albert L. Schrock, Secre¬ tary; Rev. C. H. Young, S. T. D., Rev. James E. Foster, Rev. George J. Childs, Ven. Joseph W. Gubbins, Dr. George F. Hitchcock, Mr. Martin V. Starr, Mr. Glen R. Sawyer, and Mrs. Walter Crandell.

One thing has been accomplished during the year and that is the ex¬ clusion from School reports of any inactive pupil enrollment. The feeling was that the actual regular attendants should be reported as the enrollment of the School. This gives a firm foundation on which to begin to build.

The Department holds out to the Diocese the challenge for the necessity of building the School during the year of 1931. In many instances there should be opportunity for an increase of from 10 to 50%. In others an increase of even more. It is the hope of the Department that during the year 1931 those Parishes and Missions which do have Schools will concentrate every effort on the perfection and development not only of numbers but in the curriculum of their Schools.

During the early part of 1931, Miss Nellie Mullinex’s relinquishing the position of Treasurer for the Birthday Thank Offering, Mr. J. Albert Johnson was appointed in her place and the funds amounting to $145.99 were deposited with the First National Bank, of Michigan City for which pass book No. 11285 is held. In response to letters sent to the various clergymen of the Diocese some communications have been received. In this letter it was requested that any outstanding accomplishments be noted.

Among them we have the following which are of special interest not only to the Department but to the Diocese as a whole:

St. John’s Church, Elkhart, reports a very successful Teachers’

Training Group held from February 23 to April 27.

St. Paul’s Church, Hammond reports the use of a successful

Parent Teacher Sponsor Plan.

St. Paul’s Church, LaPorte reports intensive work on a Be¬ ginners Group which has shown excellent results.

Other Parishes while not reporting outstanding accomplishments seem to be going on and increasing in interest.

The following statistical report is presented for consideration and if op¬ portunity offers, discussion. We realize that the report is not an exact one but will give some idea of the conditions in the Schools throughout the Diocese.

THIRTY-THIRD ANNUAL COUNCIL

(May

REPORT OF THE FIELD DEPARTMENT

To the Thirty-Third Annual Council or the Diocese:

The Field Department respectfully submits its Annual Report.

During the year 1930 the following persons served as members of the Department: The Reverend Forest B. B. Johnston, Chairman; the Reverend Albert Linnell Schrock, Acting Chairman since the summer of 1930; the Reverend Peter Langendorff ; Dr. George F. Hitchcock, Secretary ; Messrs. Glen R. Sawyer, Archie Price, Seth F. Green, and Mrs. Robert Happ, Dio¬ cesan President of the Woman’s Auxiliary.

The first meeting of the Department was held in St. James’ Parish House, Goshen, on Monday, September 8, 1930, with the following members present: the Rt. Rev. Campbell Gray, D. D., S. T. D., the Rev. A. L. Schrock, Dr. Geo. F. Hitchcock, Mr. Glen R. Sawyer, and Mr. Seth F. Green. The Bishop stated that, owing to the serious illness of the Chairman, the Rev. F. B. B. Johnston, he would appoint the Rev. A. L. Schrock as Acting Chairman. The Department confirmed this appointment and elected Dr. Hitchcock, Secretary.

The tentative program of the Department for the year was then thorough¬ ly discussed and adopted. This program was approved at a subsequent meeting of the Bishop and Council on October 2, 1930. The Program went into con¬ siderable detail, hoping thereby to be of greater flexibility and usefulness, and following, in the main, the program suggested by the Field Department of the National Council which has proven generally successful in other dio¬ ceses. It provided’ for a conference of clergy and laity, for the Every Member Canvass, and for the issuing of a special edition of the Diocesan Paper, de¬ voted to the interests of the work of the Department.

The South Bend Fellowship Conference was held in the Oliver Hotel, South Bend, on Tuesday, October 21st. It was a gathering truly representative of the whole Diocese, for there were present the Bishop, nearly all the Clergy, and Wardens, Vestrymen, and other Laymen from every Parish but one, and from most of the Missions as well. The attendance numbered about one hun¬ dred persons during the day, most of whom remained until the hour of ad¬ journment and manifested deepest interest in the different addresses and the discussions which followed. This was the largest attendance we have ever had at a conference of this kind, it being about twice the usual number.

The Department had been most fortunate in securing as the leader for the Conference the Rev. E. Reginald Williams, Rector of St. Mark’s Church, Mil¬ waukee. The Conference has been written up in the Diocesan Paper, and most of you who are present at this Council were in attendance, so that it is not necessary to report that part of our program again. Your Department, however, desires to record its appreciation to all who helped to make the Fellowship Conference the success which it seems to have been. In particular we are indebted to the other speakers: Bishop Gray; Dr. Hitchcock, of Ply¬ mouth; Mr. H. N. McCann, of Elkhart; and Mr. Seth F. Green, of Fort Wayne; to Father Langendorff, who led the singing; and to Dr. Hart and the group of laymen who staged a Vestry Meeting “Before and After.”

During the month of November the Acting Chairman was invited to pre¬ sent the plans of the Department in several places, and a number of laymen served as speakers in various Churches on the Sundays preceding the Every Member Canvass and at other times. To the laymen who volunteered for this service your Department extends its deep appreciation.

The Every Member Canvass was held in most places throughout the Diocese and appears to have been reasonably successful in view of conditions existing at this time. As a Diocese we still fall far short of the goal set for us by the National Council as our fair share in the work of the Church. We are pledging a total of only 45 % of the amount of our apportionment.

1931)

THE DIOCESE OF NORTHERN INDIANA

31

Returns on the Canvass show Pledges to the Church’s Program for the year 1931 totaling $8,118.19, as against $8,757.08 for the previous year. How¬ ever, we would call attention to the fact that on those pledges for $8,757.08, only $6,881.38 was actually received by the Missionary Treasurer. The pledges for 1931 therefore represent an increase of $1,236.81 over the receipts for 1930, or an increase of 18% in the amount promised for 1931 over the amount re¬ ceived in 1930. Most parishes have advised your Department that their pledges for this year are made in good faith and are reasonably conservative, and that they expect to pay the full amount pledged. We have, therefore, every reason to believe that our actual receipts for the year will be as large, if not larger, than those for last year. Your Bishop and Council has, therefore, made the same pledge from the Diocese to the National Council as in former years, the sum of $3,000.00, plus the full amount of the Children’s Lenten Mite Box Offering, estimated at $2,000.00, a total of $5,000.00.

We may be encouraged by the fact that this year every active parish and mission in the Diocese has made some pledge to the Church’s Program, a goal which, we believe, has never before been attained.

Following is the Financial Report of the Treasurer of the De¬

partment:

Total . $529.50

The books of the Treasurer have been audited by an accountant-book¬ keeper. A. L. Schrock, Treasurer.

Largely because of the unusually large attendance at the Fellowship Con¬ ference, your Department was forced to exceed its small budget appropriation by about $120.00. We are asking, therefore, for $600.00 for the work of the Department for the year 1932.

Your attention is invited to the following statement which is a Compari¬ son of Apportionments and Pledges for 1931 with Actual Payments for 1930. It will be noted that seven parishes and missions have pledged 100% of the amount of their apportionment for the maintenance of existing work; the average pledge is 45.4% of the apportionment; and again, St. John’s Elk¬ hart, leads the Diocese by pledging 105 % of their apportionment.

*: These two places, Delphi and Howe, have pledged 100% of both apportionments, for the Maintenance of existing work and for Ad¬ vance Work in the Diocese.

Actually paid in year 1930: the figures in last column are taken from the report of the Missionary Treasurer as at December 31, 1930, as published in the January issue of The Diocese of Northern Indiana. In some cases there is a difference between these figures and those appearing in his report as published in the Journal, due presumably to payments applying on the previous year.

From the foregoing analysis of our income and disbursements, it is obvious that the plan which the Department has fostered for the past several years, that of having the various parishes and missions underwrite the paper for their members, has not worked out. As a result your Department is now faced with one of two alternatives: either we must receive support from other sources, or discontinue the paper. We have already cut down the size of the paper in order to decrease the cost of publication.

This matter was presented to the Bishop and Council at their meeting on April 21, 1931, and after thorough discussion, that body voted that the appro¬ priation of the Department for the year 1932 be $600.00, instead of $400.00 as heretofore. This amount, together with receipts from advertising and in¬ dividual subscriptions, should enable us to continue the paper on the present basis.

We shall, however, have to secure a large number of individual subscrip¬ tions, and it goes without saying that the more we obtain, the more money we can put into the paper. We therefore expect to call upon all Church people in the Diocese to send us their individual subscriptions, and we hope to have your hearty support in what we believe is a good thing for the Diocese, as well as for every Parish and Mission in the Diocese.

At this time we are much concerned as to how we are going to manage to finance the paper during the remainder of the present year. We hope that as many parishes and missions as possibly can will send us something toward the paper and that the clergy and laity will do what they can to encourage individuals to send us their subscriptions.

We should like to improve the paper and can only do so by your cooper¬ ation in the way of subscriptions.

Respectfully submitted,

During the Conciliar year they have conducted the examinations of such persons as have been referred to them by the Bishop, and have faithfully considered the certificates of proficiency in preparatory studies as have been laid before them as follows:

The Rev. George Arthur Peters Jewell, Deacon, was examined in the subjects required for his admission to the Priesthood, and report was made to the Bishop.

Mr. Frank Melvin Kelso, a Candidate for Holy Orders, was given a sup¬ plementary examination on special subjects required for ordination to the Diaconate, and report thereon was made to the Bishop.

After full consideration the board in lieu of examination accepted the credits given by the College Department of Nashotah House to Mr. Walter Fielding Haylor, a Postulant, desiring to become a Candidate for Holy Orders, as being sufficient for his admission as a Candidate.

Dec. 18, 1930, the Board, in lieu of examination, accepted the evidence laid before us by Mr. Francis Edwin Beatty Anderson, a Postulant, that he is a graduate of Chicago University with the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy, and that the subjects taken in his course were such as would qualify him to become a Candidate for Holy Orders. They also gave consent that the Bishop might give him dispensation from the study of the Greek language.

Mr. James T. Golder, having laid before them a certificate from the Dean of Nashotah Theological Seminary that the faculty had considered the academic work done by him in Nashotah college Department, and at Northwestern Uni¬ versity, as sufficient for his admission to the Theological Seminary; they ac¬ cepted the evidence of his fitness to be admitted as a Candidate for Holy Orders, in lieu of examination: and also consented that the Bishop might, for the present, give him dispensation from a knowledge of the Greek language.

Mr. John S. Letherman, a Candidate for Holy Orders, was examined in the subjects required by the Canons for Ordination to the Diaconate, and report thereon was made to the Bishop.

April 13, 1931 Mr. Walter F. Haylor, a Candidate, was examined in the subjects required for ordination to the Diaconate, and report was made to the Bishop.

The Rev. Earl Ray Hart, LL.D., presented the following REPORT OF THE REGISTRAR

To the Thirty-Third Annual Council of the Diocese:

The Registrar of the Diocese of Northern Indiana respectfully reports that during the year 1930, he has filed such Convention reports and communi¬ cations as have been received. Very little of value was received during the year and matters pertaining to the office have been practically nothing.

Earl Ray Hart, Registrar.

On motion the report was accepted.

After the noonday prayers for Missions, a recess was taken until two o’clock.

Luncheon

Luncheon was served in the Parish House by the women of St. Thomas’ Church.

Advance Work

While the members of the Council were still seated at the tables, the Bishop stated that he desired that advantage should be taken of the opportunity to consider the matter of the Diocesan pledge to the National Council for “Advance” work, to aid in building the Rugby Rectory in North Dakota. At the time of the last Council nearly half of the $3,000.00 needed was promised. Possibly two-thirds of this has been paid. On account of illness the one appointed to complete the canvass for subscriptions had been unable to finish it. It is necessary for the honor and credit of the Diocese to carry out our agreement. Expressions of opinion, and suggestions were called for.

The Rev. L. C. Ferguson pledged St. James’ parish, South Bend $100.00. The Rev. Dr. Young, for St. Mark’s, Howe, an additional $50.00. The Rev. Dr. Hart, for Trinity Church, Michi¬ gan City, the last $100.00 needed to complete the “Rugby” Fund.

Plans were then discussed for obtaining the amount required in addition to these pledges.

Mr. James H. Haberly, Treasurer, stated that in considering the financial affairs of the Diocese, he had been convinced that it was necessary for the welfare of the Diocese that a “Revolving Fund” of several thousand dollars should be established with which to meet the financial emergencies which arise from time to time. Should the Council approve, it was his purpose to secure such a fund by personal solicitation from individuals in the Diocese, and was confident that the necessary amount could be raised. In doing this work, he was also willing to endeavor to raise the amount needed for the present deficit in the Rugby Fund.

38

THIRTY-THIRD ANNUAL COUNCIL

(May

Mr. Glen R. Sawyer moved the adoption of the following:

Resolved: That this Council gratefully accepts the offer of Mr. Haberly to endeavor to raise the “Revolving Fund” for the Diocese within the sug¬ gested time of three years; and that he is hereby authorized to solicit and collect money for such Fund, and also to secure pledges and contributions for the completion of the Rugby Rectory Fund.

The motion was seconded.

The Rev. James E. Foster moved that the latter part of the resolution be omitted, and the Treasurer should be requested to raise only the amount for the Revolving Fund. The Motion was seconded. The question being put to vote, the motion was declared lost.

The vote then being taken on the resolution of Mr. Sawyer which was carried.

AFTERNOON SESSION

At two o’clock the Council was again called to order by the Bishop in St. Thomas’ Church.

Balloting for the Elections

The Rules of Order requiring that at this hour the elections should be held, the printed ballots were distributed to the members of the Council. After allowing sufficient time for marking the ballots, the vote was taken, and the Tellers retired.

The Bishop then introduced the Ven. F. G. Deis, as the rep¬ resentative of the National Council who addressed the members on the work of the National Council, and its plans for the next Triennium; the promising outlook for the success of their efforts in behalf of the “Advance work,” and the encouragement of a generous gift for St. Luke’s Hospital at Tokyo, Japan.

Pending the report of the Tellers, the regular business was resumed, subject to interruptions whenever the Tellers were ready to make announcement.

The Budget for Diocesan Expenses for 1932 was reported by the Finance Committee, and the items were read, and considered.

THIRTY-THIRD ANNUAL COUNCIL

(May

The Rev. Peter Langendorff, Chairman, presented and read the REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICE

To the Bishop, and the members of the Diocesan Council:

Sundry members of your Department attended, during this past Diocesan year, two conventions, both held at Gary, Indiana; the “State Convention for Social Welfare,” and the “Convention for Child Welfare.” We listened to numerous addresses and Round-Table discussions on various phases of these problems, some of them by persons of eminence in their respective fields, and of more than State-wide fame.

We recall to your memory, at this time, our late beloved Executive Secre¬ tary of the National Department, the Rev. Charles N. Lathrop, D. D. We think the Church fortunate indeed to have had Dean Lathrop to speak for her to the world on The Social Gospel. All knew him to be a man thoroughly sound in the Faith, bold and fearless in utterance, broad in sympathy for the underprivileged and unfortunate everywhere; of unbounded enthusiasm in his work; and withal a lovable personality. Eternal Rest grant him, 0 Lord!

Recently your Department made a Survey of the work in Social Service done in the Parishes and Missions in the Diocese. We received prompt and detailed reports that show that our people everywhere are interested and actively engaged in every thinkable and needed Social Service in their com¬ munities. The story of these reports, had we time to tell it in detail to you, is something to be justly proud of.

These times of general business depression and unemployment called for Social Service throughout the land on an unprecedented scale. Following reports in the Press, religious and secular, we saw this Church coming the very first to accept the challenge, and make the difficulties of the times her oppor¬ tunity under God. The daily Press has been loud in its praises of what the Church has done in feeding the hungry, clothing the needy, giving work to the unemployed, and with her prestige and power to plead their cause before the Nation.

With especial satisfaction have we observed that the Church has spoken on all these phases of Social service with penetrating Divine understanding. Men who speak with authority in the Church have been emphatic in saying that the most real, the most abiding Social Service we can give the people is by preaching the whole counsel of God that the kingdoms of this world be speedily transformed into the Kingdom of our God; that giving far beyond expediences of conventional charity we press toward a Social Relationship that expresses Love based on Justice.

Respectfully submitted,

Peter Langendorff, Chairman.

Earl Ray Hart.

On motion the report was accepted and ordered printed in the Journal.

Communications

The Secretary read a communication received from the Dio¬ cese of Chicago requesting concurrence in a petition to the General Convention asking that body to take action defining the status of Deaconesses in accordance with the declarations of the Lambeth Conference, and also that definite steps be taken for an adequate pension system for the Deaconesses of this Church.

THE DIOCESE OF NORTHERN INDIANA

41

The Secretary moved that this Council approves and endorses the petition of the Diocese of Chicago, and the motion was seconded.

The Rev. W. J. Lockton moved, as a substitute that the com¬ munication and petition of the Diocese of Chicago be referred to the Deputies elected to represent this Diocese in the General Con¬ vention, and the motion was seconded.

The vote being taken, it was announced that Fr. Lockton’s motion had been carried. A division was called for, and the count showed 25 votes in the affirmative; 19 negative.

Vote was then taken, and the substitute was adopted.

The Secretary read a communication from the Diocese of Tennessee, asking consideration of the resolution adopted by that Diocese:

Resolved: That this Convention memorialize the General Convention to amend Canon 44, Section I, in such wise as to extend the application thereof to baptized members of this Church other than Communicants.

The intention being to provide a record of children in families removing from one parish to another.

On motion of Rev. James F. Foster the following was adopted:

Resolved: That this Council approves and endorses the Memorial pro¬ posed by the Diocese of Tennessee, and instructs the Deputies to the General Convention to support it.

Church School Lenten Offering

Mr. Glen R. Sawyer, who as a member of the Department of Religious Education had been charged with the duty of supervising the Mite Box offerings of the Church Schools during Lent, reported that the boxes had been generally used, and that nearly every School had participated. The total for 1931 did not equal the amount of previous year, but that this was due principally to the stringency of the times. He asked* that the list of contributions should be published in the Journal, and the request was granted.

We attach hereto a Report from the Executive Vice President of the Fund which we feel certain will be of great interest to all the members of the Council, and recommend that it be printed in the Journal as a part of this Report from your committee.

Respectfully submitted,

D. J. Campbell, Chairman.

April 24, 1931

My dear Mr. Campbell:

The Committee of the Diocese of Northern Indiana on the Church Pen¬ sion Fund, in making its report to the diocesan convention of 1931, is able to report a large advance made by the Fund.

On March 9, 1931, upon receipt of the valuation for the period between the seventh and the fourteenth years of the operation of the Church Pension Fund, the Trustees took a very important step. This consisted in raising to one thousand dollars the pensions for all of the clergy who were in receipt of age allowances except in the few cases where the pension assessments had not been completely paid. The Trustees do not guarantee a thousand dollar minimum for the future, but they think it is reasonable to expect that they will be able very largely to keep upon this basis.

When the Church Pension Fund was started in 1917, its promises were that it would pay a pension of six hundred dollars until such time as the amount promised under the rules, in each individual case, would amount to more. The amount promised under the Rules is one and one-quarter per cent, of the average salary since ordination, multiplied by the number of years since the Fund started on March 1, 1917. In only two cases of pensions has this calculation under the rules amounted to more than six hundred dollars, one of slightly more than six hundred dollars and one of eight hundred dollars. Therefore, the thousand dollar pension now paid is in all but these two cases an increase of 66% per cent, over what was promised at the beginning of the Fund’s operation.

It is gratifying to be able to report this growth of the Church’s pension system, and the increased comfort obtained thereby by the retired clergy. It is particularly gratifying that this very substantial increase has been possible without disturbing in any degree the promises to the clergy in active service. Twenty-three million dollars of its assets are reserves to carry the present pensions and to guarantee the present value of the promises to the clergy now in active service. This increase which has been made by the Trustees is out of the assets above this twenty-three million dollars.

The second interesting thing about the Church Pension Fund to report this year is that at Easter, 1931, the annual pension payments of the Fund amounted to $935,505.01, practically one million dollars. The distribution of this amount every year to the retired and disabled clergy and the widows of clergymen of our Church, all over the country, begins to show substantially the benefit derived from the Church’s establishment of a comprehensive and scientific pension system fifteen years ago.

The only other matter of importance to add to these two interesting facts is that the officers of the Church Pension Fund report that, notwith¬ standing the business depression, the payment of pension assessments for the year 1930 and the year 1931 has amounted to the same as during the preceding period of prosperity, both in the actual amount of money received and in the practically unanimous adherence of the parishes and congregations of our Church.

Mr. Martin V. Starr moved the adoption of the following:

Resolved: That the Secretary be authorized to have the usual number of copies of the Journal of the Diocese printed and distributed.

The Council of the Diocese of Northern Indiana desires to express its deep sense of loss in the death of the Reverend Forest Bowley Breckenridge Johnston. During the eighteen years he was a member of this body all had come to know him well, and to appreciate his sterling qualities of mind and character, and to esteem him highly as a Priest of the Church and as a man. In the Bishop and Council and its Departments, he was ever faithful in the performance of all duties required of him. In his long rectorship of Gethsemane Church, Marion, his faithful ministrations and his consecrated service won the confidence and lasting affection of the people for whose spiritual and temporal welfare he constantly labored.

The Clergy and Laity of the Diocese thank God for the good example of their loved brother and fellow laborer in the Church of God, and extend their sympathy to the members of his family and to the bereaved Parish.

Grant him, O Lord, Eternal Rest —

THE BISHOP’S ADDRESS TO THE DIOCESAN COUNCIL

The one outstanding event in the life of the Church since our last Diocesan Council is, of course, the meeting of the Lambeth Conference which is held every ten years and is composed of all the Bishops of the whole Anglican Communion. The report of this Conference has been published now for some months and your Bishop has published several statements con¬ cerning it and- has spoken at some length about it in a number of places throughout the Diocese. Therefore, we shall not go into any discussion here of the various matters that were considered at Lambeth, but will merely take this opportunity to recommend to you a thorough and careful study of the various matters contained in that report. For the Clergy, there is not only much valuable food for thought, but also an. abundance of material help¬ ful in preparing sermons and in giving instructions to their congregations. For the Laity, a careful study of the Lambeth Report will give a broader vision of the whole Church in its life and work, and will be an inspiration.

Since our last Council, two Bishops of our own Province have passed to their reward. The Rt. Rev. William Andrew Leonard, D.D., LL.D., Bishop of Ohio, died September 21st, 1930. Bishop Leonard is particularly dear to us as the first President of this Province. Even before the Provinces were formed, in the days of the Missionary Departments, he was the President of the Department which afterwards became the Province of the Mid-West. As Senior Bishop of the whole Church, twice he acted as Presiding Bishop. At the time of his death, he had spent over half of his life in the Episcopate.

The Rt. Rev. Sheldon Munson Griswold, D.D., Bishop of Chicago, died November 29th, 1930. While Bishop Griswold began his Episcopate farther west, he was for many years associated with us in this Province, and has been frequently here in our diocese.

The Rt. Rev. Sidney Catlin Partridge, D.D., Bishop of West Missouri, died June 22nd, 1930, with a long and honorable career, both in the foreign missionary field and also here at home. Bishop Griswold and Bishop Part¬ ridge were both among those who took part in your Bishop’s consecration six years ago.

In addition to these, three other Bishops have been taken from our midst:

The Rt. Rev. James Henry Darlington, D.D., LL.D., Ph.D., Bishop of Harrisburg.

The Rt. Rev. Thomas J. Garland, D.D., D.C.L., LL.D., Bishop of Penn¬ sylvania.

The Rt. Rev. Richard Henry Nelson, D.D., Bishop of Albany.

Recently the whole Diocese has been saddened by the death of one of our most beloved priests. On Tuesday in Holy Week, March 31st, 1931, the Rev. Forest Bowley Breckenridge Johnston was called to his reward, after more than a year of patient suffering. Father Johnston has been Rector of Gethsemane Church, Marion, since 1913, and has not only endeared him¬ self to the members of his flock but had made also a place of honor and

loving affection in the Diocese. We shall indeed greatly miss him from our

midst and we pray for him continual growth in the love and service of the

THIRTY-THIRD ANNUAL COUNCIL

Master. Your Bishop requests that a special committee be appointed to draw up appropriate resolutions which may be passed by this Council and pub¬ lished in the Journal.

The souls of all these departed servants of the Lord, I commend to your prayers. May they rest in peace and may Light perpetual shine upon them !

Ordinations

During the past year, I have ordained to the Diaconate, George Arthur Peters Jewell, John Samuel Letherman, and also, acting for the Bishop of Chicago, James Edwin Charles. I have ordained to the Priesthood George Arthur Peters Jewell and also, acting for the Bishop of Tennessee, Quinter Kephart.

Clerical Changes

The following Clerical changes have taken place during the Conciliar year:

The Rev. Howard Russell White, who was an instructor at Howe School, has gone to St. Mary’s Church, Eugene, Oregon, and has been transferred to the Diocese of Oregon.

The Rev. Harry M. Kellam, who was Rector of St. Andrew’s Church, Kokomo, has gone to St. Thomas’ Church, Pawhuska, Oklahoma, and has been transferred to the Missionary District of Oklahoma.

The Rev. Cassius H. Hunt, who has been gone from the diocese for several years, but who had retained his canonical residence here, has now been transferred to the Diocese of Rhode Island.

The Rev. Louis N. Rocca has resigned the Rectorship of Trinity, Fort Wayne, but retains his canonical residence in the Diocese of Northern Indiana.

We have received into the Diocese, the Rev. Charles Noyes Tyndell, S.T.D. from St. Stephen’s Church, Terre Haute, in the Diocese of Indianapolis, and he has been duly transferred to this Diocese and is now in residence as Rector of Trinity Church, Fort Wayne.

Within the Diocese, there have been two changes. The Rev. Alexander E. Pflaum has become Rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd, East Chicago, and is in residence there, but continues to be also in charge of St. Andrew’s, Valparaiso.

The Rev. George Arthur Peters Jewell, who was as a Deacon working in the Calumet District under the direction of the Rector of Christ Church, Gary, having been ordained by me to the Priesthood, is in charge of St. Andrew’s, Kokomo, and Christ Church, Huntington, and St. Luke’s, Hart¬ ford City, with his residence in Kokomo.

It has seemed wise to the Diocesan Department of Missions and to the Bishop and Council to make an entire readjustment of the missionary work of the Diocese. The Rev. Joseph William Gubbins ceased his duties as Arch¬ deacon on February 15th of this year, and from that date served as Locum Tenens in charge of Trinity Church, Fort Wayne, until the coming of the new Rector the middle of last month. Father Gubbins has accepted a call to be Curate at St. John’s Church, Newport, Rhode Island, and has been transferred to the Diocese of Rhode Island, having taken up his duties there on May 1st.

Of the missions formerly under the Archdeacon, Huntington and Hart¬ ford City, as mentioned above, are now under the care of the Rector at Ko¬ komo. Garrett, Kendallville and Auburn are under the care of the Rector at Goshen. Columbia City and Warsaw are to be ministered to by the Rector at Plymouth and Delphi is under the Rector at Logansport.

THE DIOCESE OF NORTHERN INDIANA

51

In St. Paul’s Pro-Cathedral, Mishawaka, on February 3, 1931, in ac¬ cordance with canon 36 of the General Convention, the last part of article 1, and canon 40, article 3, and with the advice and consent of the Standing Committee, in the presence of the Very Rev. Lewis C. Rogers and the Rev. Edwin E. Smith, Presbyters, I deposed from the Ministry of this Church, Herbert Keble Jones, Deacon.

Dean’s Anniversary

On June 12th the Very Rev. Lewis C. Rogers will complete his half century in the Sacred Priesthood. For many years the Dean has been Secre¬ tary of the Diocese, President of the Standing Committee, President of the Board of Examining Chaplains and has five times represented this Diocese at the General Convention of the Church. For nearly six years he has been Dean of the Pro-Cathedral. In many other ways has he faithfully served the Diocese and it is your Bishop’s hope that this Council will make recogni¬ tion of his Anniversary and will take steps for a befitting celebration thereof.

Business Methods

From the parochial reports sent in each year to the Bishop, it is glaringly evident that there is need of better business methods in parochial affairs. Last year it was necessary for the Bishop to turn over to the Finance Depart¬ ment some eight or a dozen reports for consideration which on the face of them showed their inaccuracy. When discrepancies appear on the very face of reports themselves, it indicates almost certainly slip-shod methods which may affect the whole keeping of accounts throughout the year. I do not, of course, intend to imply any suggestion of dishonesty or lack of integrity on the part of parish treasurers and other officers, but a carelessness which must be corrected. It seems almost impossible to secure the proper audit as required by canon, and if a proper audit is to be made, there must be some means of checking receipts as well as expenditures. An audit does not mean merely that somebody adds up the two columns of the report to see that they come to the same figure.

I have observed quite generally and it has also been called to my atten¬ tion, that in many places one man takes the offerings, whether he be treasurer, warden, or secretary, and counts it some time at his own leisure. The of¬ ferings should be counted by two men, whether it be treasurer and secretary, or two wardens, or two other vestrymen, and an entry of the amount should be made in a book kept for that purpose. Payments should be made only upon the proper vouchers issued by the authority of the vestry, signed by the clerk or secretary, or by whomsoever the vestry may designate.

At the end of the year, the reports should be made out in proper form, which often now they are not. A complete audit should be made of all the books with the bank statements, receipts, vouchers, and all other papers that pertain to the business of the parish. This is distinctly required in canon 53, article 4 of the Canons of the General Convention, and is therefore the law of the Church, and we are delinquent if this is not carried out. The section referred to is as follows:

“All accounts, having to do with the receipt, and expenditure, or investments of money of all church organizations shall be audited at the close of each year by a certified public accountant; Provided, however, that if the amount of income for the year, as shown by the account shall be less than $3,000, or if a certified public accountant is not available, the audit may be made by an accountant bookkeeper in no way connected with the subject matter of the account.”

52

THIRTY-THIRD ANNUAL COUNCIL

(May

There is another matter of serious importance which we have had before us year after year, but which this year has reached an acute stage which amounted to a real crisis, and that is the matter of the payment of diocesan assessments all along throughout the year instead of waiting until the end of the year, and in many cases, waiting over some four months into the succeeding year until just before the Council.

The diocesan treasurer is, of course, authorized to borrow, but there is a limit to borrowing. It is a matter of great embarrassment to the diocesan treasurer when, because of delinquency on the part of parishes, he has bor¬ rowed up to the limit and even beyond and still has no balance in the treasury with which to pay even current obligations.

We realize, of course, all of us, the seriousness of the present time of depression. Because of this, certain economies have been instituted this year with reference to items already allowed in the budget in the hope that by the end of this year, we may accumulate something of a working balance, but this, of course, is merely a temporary expedient wThich will help some¬ what, but will not take the place of regular systemized payments on the part of parishes.

The Rugby Fund

We are also in another dilemma, partly perhaps due to the present de¬ pression, though surely not entirely so. At the last Council, we definitely accepted the obligation of raising within the diocese $3,000.00 by Epiphany, 1931 for helping to build a rectory at Rugby, North Dakota, which is our share of the Advance Work of the National Church. At the time of the Council, almost half of this amount was pledged, but at the present time, not even this half of the amount has been paid in. National headquarters have extended the time to the end of 1931, but with the strong hope and earnest request that it be raised and paid in before the meeting of the General Convention. We have definitely assumed this amount by resolution of the Diocesan Council as a diocesan obligation, and it is therefore a debt which in some way must be met.

Canon on Marriage

At the approaching General Convention, there are two matters of su¬ preme importance which are to be considered. One of these is Marriage and Divorce upon which the Commission appointed for that purpose has been making an exhaustive study. The work of the Commission has been before the Church, much of it was presented at our Provincial Synod of 1929, and there has been comment in the Church press and much literature sent out on this topic. Not only in our own Church, but throughout the country, and indeed, throughout the world, this is a subject very much in the fore. General Convention should act very definitely.

Placement of Clergy

The other subject is that of the Placement of the Clergy. The Com¬ mission on the Ministry has been working very hard on its report, and has

given to it abundant publicity. The subject of Placement was thoroughly presented and discussed at our last Provincial Synod in 1930, resulting in very definite resolutions which were forwarded to the Commission on the Ministry.

Your Bishop does not know, of course, whether this Council will desire

to instruct its deputies on either of these two subjects, or whether it will

care to pass any resolutions or memorials to General Convention, but it is my duty to see that these matters are presented to you and to let you know

1931)

THE DIOCESE OF NORTHERN INDIANA

53

that you have the right to instruct the deputies from this diocese if you so desire. For your convenience, I have appended the resolutions of the Synod on the subject of the Placement of the Clergy.

The Bishop of Ohio presented the following resolution:

RESOLVED: That this Synod memorialize the Commission on the Ministry to seriously consider the following amendments to their resolutions as contained in their report on Placement of the Clergy:

Amendment 1 : Whenever there is a vacancy in the rectorship of a parish the Vestry of such parish shall immediately notify the Bishop, or Ecclesiastical authority, and at his or their convenience shall consult with the Bishop, or Ecclesiastical authority, to receive nominations from him or them for the fill¬ ing of the vacancy.

The resolution was adopted by a unanimous vote.

In the general discussion as to the best mode of procedure in the further consideration of the subject, a resolution was adopted that subsequent votes on any resolution or amendment concerning the matter should be by Orders!

Amendment 2: Furthermore, it shall be the duty of the Bishop in con¬ sultation with the Vestry, who may have the right to suggest names of clergy to the Bishop, to nominate at least three clergymen to the Vestry for con¬ sideration. If none of the persons so nominated by the Bishop be satisfactory to the Vestry, the Bishop shall then nominate three more and continue so to nominate until a selection has been made.

The vote on this amendment was unanimous for its adoption, nine Bishops, twenty-eight presbyters and ten laymen voting aye.

Amendment 3: Upon recommendation from the Bishop and upon peti¬ tion from the minister and vestry concerned, the Bishop and Standing Com¬ mittee shall, with the approval of the Bishop, have power of removal or transfer, provided that no man so removed shall be turned adrift without work or other provision for his support.

To this the Bishop of Michigan offered the following amendment:

RESOLVED: That the Synod urge the Commission on Placement to give further consideration to the whole matter of removal and transfer.

The amendment offered by the Bishop of Michigan was lost, five Bishops and four presbyters voting for the amendment and two Bishops, nineteen presbyters and ten laymen voting against.

Amendment 3 as originally offered was adopted by unanimous vote of eight bishops, twenty-eight presbyters and ten laymen.

The Honorable Dr. C. L. Dibble presented the following resolution:

RESOLVED: That the Commission on Training of the Clergy is re¬ quested to formulate a plan for a limited term of office for the rector of a parish, with a provision for continuation of the relationship for a like term, if both parties shall signify to the Bishop to that effect before the expiration of the first term.

The vote on this resolution was as follows: One Bishop, three presbyters and five laymen voted for it ; four Bishops, twenty-one presbyters and five laymen voted against it. The resolution was therefore lost.

The Bishop of Michigan offered the following resolution, which was adopted:

RESOLVED: That this Synod herewith records its conviction that the placement of the clergy is one of the most serious problems of the Church

54

THIRTY-THIRD ANNUAL COUNCIL

(May

and urges every Bishop and Diocese in this Province to give the most care¬ ful consideration in Convention to the suggestions proposed by the Commission on Placement of the Clergy.

The Reverend E. A. Powell presented a resolution that the further report of the Commission on the Ministry should be made a special order of business for the first day of the next meeting of the Synod, or, if that time is incon¬ venient, any other two-hour period may be chosen. This resolution was adopted.

Unity

In conclusion, may I quote for our edification one resolution and two other passages from the Report of the Lambeth Conference. The Resolution has to do with Unity among Anglicans, and reads as follows:

“The Conference calls upon all members of the Anglican Com¬ munion to promote the cause of union by fostering and deepening in all possible ways the fellowship of the Anglican Communion itself, so that by mutual understanding and appreciation all may come to a fuller apprehension of the truth as it is in Jesus, and more perfectly make manifest to the world the unity of the Spirit in and through the diversity of His gifts.”

This resolution grew out of two passages in the report of the Committee on the Unity of the Church, one of which reads as follows:

“We would call upon all members of the Anglican Communion of whatever school of thought to do their utmost in cooperation with those of other schools to promote mutual understanding and appre¬ ciation.”

The other passage gives to us the definite and concrete suggestion of how we may all work together without compromise for closer unanimity. It reads thus:

“Our special character and, as we believe, our peculiar contri¬ bution to the Universal Church arises from the fact that, owing to historic circumstances, we have been enabled to combine in our one fellowship the traditional Faith and Order of the Catholic Church with that immediacy of approach to God through Christ to which the Evangelical Chyrches especially bear witness and freedom of in¬ tellectual enquiry whereby the correlation of the Christian revelation and advancing knowledge is constantly effected.”

In this spirit, may we give ourselves diligently to the fulfilment of Our Lord’s prayer, “That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent me.”
