Bishop Sherrill Urges Episcopalians to Heed Urgent World Issues By Caspar Nannes Star Stoff Correspondent PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 20.—Epis copal clergy and laity were urged to look beyond their immediate prob lems to the \irgency of the grave world situation by the Right Rev. Henry Knox Sherrill, newly elected presiding Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church, in an address to the House of Deputies this morning. The House of Bishops, supporting Bishop Sherrill's view of world needs, voted today that $1,000,000 a year for the next three years be raised for world relief in war-devastated areas. The resolution passed the House of Deputies yesterday. The action was taken as the 55th Triennial General Convention of the Episcopal Church held its clos ing sessions of the two-week meet ing on the University of Pennsyl vania campus. Calls for Broad Vision. "Let us be broad visioned and big hearted,” Bishop Sherrill urged. "The only hope of the world and the future is that human nature be changed by Gods goodness into some measure of the fullness of Christ.” Pointing out that Europe was deep In starvation, ruin, tragedy and hatred, Bishop Sherrill declared he missed the sense of urgency of the day at the convention. "Most of the things said during this W'eek might have been said in 1945 as in 1946.” he asserted. "I hope you will carry home a sense of the urgency of the world situation and the demand that we be united in a world missionary enterprise. When it comes to suporting the mis sionary work of the church,” he continued, "I hope we have less re spectability and more fanaticism.” Pays Tribute to Bishop Tucker. Paying tribute to the Right Rev. Henry St. George Tucker, retiring presiding bishop, as a "great pre* siding bishop,” Bishop Sherrill said he hoped Bish<fp Tucker would par ticipate actively in church affairs and give him the benefit of his ex perience and wisdom. ‘‘I pledge my consecration to the best of my ability to the task.” he continued, "but that is a small thing. I ask more than your loyalty. I ask consecration of all that you are to the task ahead.” During his talk, Bishop Sherrill said in the past lawyers in the House of Deputies always have had a field day with the presiding officer. “But I now understand,” he said.! looking at former Supreme Court j Justice Owen J. Roberts, president j of the House of Deputies, "that the I lawyers will now have to get their practice at home.” Retirement Resolution Defeated. The House of Bishops today de feated a resolution requiring clergy men to retire on reaching the age of 72. The motion, passed yesterday by the House of Deputies, was to be effective in 1957. A grant of $60,000 a year for the next three years was Voted by the general convention for the ex-; tendon of town and country chutch1 work. The fund was to be admin istered through the Division of Do mestic Missions of the National Council. The Women's Auxiliary voted to day to hold its 1949 meeting in San Francisco at the same time the general convention meets. To Clarify Origin of Church. Another resolution adopted by the House of Deputies will seek to clarify the relationship of Henry VIII to the founding of the Anglican Com munion for future students. The Diocese of Iowa advanced the subject by pointing out that secular I schools have been teaching that Henry VIII is the founder of the Angelican Communion.

Later there developed a split between the East and West Catholic Churches, re sulting in Greek and Roman Cath olic Churches. But before this break, missionaries came to England and were there when St. Augustine visited the country. The English church, the clergy man explained, always was restive under the growing power of the papacy. When Henry VIII was un able to get a nullification of his marriage from the Pope, he be lieved the Anglican bishops would give him one provided the Church in England broke away from the Roman Church. The clergyman said the Anglican Communion'had by this time been1 holding services and reading the1 Bible in English in addition to fol lowing other Reformation features The final break between the Church in England and the Roman Cath- \ olic Church came during the early years of Queen Elizabeth’s reign, the spokesman noted.

Erskine of the Labor Depart ment said today that the “quit rate" for veterans employed in the manu facturing industry "has been com puted to be 50 per cent higher” than for the nonveteran workers. Gen. Erskine. administrator of the Labor Departments retraining and re-employment division, told the National Association of Personnel Directors this figure would be “sub stantially lowered” if employers put imore stress on plant orientation and training programs for veterans and paid recognition to wartime acquired skills. He said "The Selective Service Act guarantees the veteran his old job back, but the granting to vet erans of their statutory rights , ' ———|, I,, should be only the minimum efforts which employers make in their hir ing of veterans. ‘There is also the moral obliga tion to do all that can be done in placing the veterans in suitable jobs —jobs with a future. » • • • One of the best ways to'help a man read just himself to civilian life is to pro vide him with a job which he is qualified to perform and in which he can make a worth-while contri bution to society.” Many disabled veterans, Gen.j Erskine said, ‘‘are meeting over-1 whelming odds in their search for jobs. Throughout the Nation, about a quarter of a million disabled vet erans are ready and able to go to work but cannot find jobs.” During July, he said, two out of three disabled veterans who applied for work at United States Employ PENS REPAIRED Prompt Service " D.
