V TD MELT A FOUND )f THIrJ ONES- AND A HALF OF A I TH' BUTTER ( BUTTER BEFORE ) AIWT MELTED ) V BED- SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM By CHARLES V. STANTON Kepresentatives of 148 Protestant and Orthodox churches approximately 2,000 delegates are meeting in Amster dam for the purpose of developing a closer unity and coop eration among the many communions. The Rev. W, A. Mac- Arthur, pastor of the First Methodist Church of Roseburg, is one of the delegates attending the session. There is in this meeting, we believe, the germ for ultimate world peace, if the churchmen will fully realize and exploit their opportunity. But we fear the very elaborateness of the conference will contribute to futility. The world needs today above all else a reawakening in spiritual values it needs FAITH. Faith is founded on sim plicity, not on complicated formulas. The world needs today to believe and practice the Golden Rule, one of the most simply stated formulas ever uttered. If the World Council of Churches can be fired with enthusiasm to evangelize the Golden Rule to people everywhere, we will have a weapon for peace far superior to all the inventions of modern science. The World Council Assembly has as its general theme "Man's Disorder and God's Design." The theme has been broken down into four major topics: (1) Tha Universal Church in God's Design. (2) God's Design and tha Church's Witness. - (3) The Church and the Disorder of Soolety, (4) The Church and International Affairs. Groups of Christian thinkers in various countries and faiths have been appointed, to collaborate in preparing dis cussions of each topic. Thirty-seven authors, in all, have been chosen, and four volumes prepared. The ecumenical study has been in progress more than two years. Various chapters have been redrafted as many as three times. Thousands of religious leaders submitted criticism prior to the final draft of each volume. From these four volumes of carefully prepared study the world Council hopes to furnish answers to many of the more critical problems of the day. Plan For World Peact May Follow In its study of the four main points for discussion, the Assembly will consider: (1) Tha Biblical measaga ooncernlng unity In tha Church. (2) - Tha Church'a avangellstla misalon. (3) The achievement of a conatruetlva balanea between free dom and order or control In a soolety which has beooma almoet wholly mechanized. (4) Tha responsibility of tha Church for exerting Its ministry of reconciliation within tha atruggla of International power politics. It is not the purpose to obtain physical church unity, but rather to work out a plan of cooperation between denomina tions and communions in matters of common welfare. In its evangelistic studies the Assembly finds: l Effective evangelism Is at once encouraging and dlehsarten Ing. There Is univereal evidence of the hunger of people for faith In God, and In many places people are Joining the Church by thousands. Yst thsre Is still to be discovered a really significant "break through" by the Churoh Into the hardened secular lam of our time, nor Is there evidence that the Church Is able to stem the tide of spiritual disintegration In Western soolety. These are complex studies. Two thousand delegates, lead ing religious thinkers, are concentrating their combined talents to formation of an aggressive attack against the evils contributing to world chaos and enmity. The effort deserves the earnest prayers of every believer that success in a pro gram for world peace will follow. From the Assembly will come many hundreds of thou sands of words of religious philosophy and pattern. The reports and findings will be examples of the finest Christian scholarship. But how simply the same program can be stated: (1) I am the light of the world; he that followeth ms shall not walk In the darkness but shall have the light of life. (2) Thy word Is a lamp unto my feet and a light unta my path. (3) As long as I am In the world, I am ths light of the world. (4) Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ys even so to them. v sefMS n r$3. . met WHV MOTHERS GET GRAY V ' BV Viahnett S.

She said the first thing that came to her mind when she heard. 'The money Rive me the money" waa that money was not their real need. "What they needed was to be prevented from doing what they were planning to do," she said, and she told them so. "Sit down and I'll fix you a good breakfast," she said, "and after that maybe we can see about Jobs.

So the bullets were taken out and Grace's husband waa amazed when he came across a revolver, later on, and was told the story under pledge of secre cy).

THAT It the play everywhere. The purpose of the big shot communists In the Kremlin Is to conquer the world. They HOPE to conquer It by communist Infil trationwhich la a big-word term meaning the setting up of com munist parties In every non-communist country and ultimately taking over these countries by the operations of the communists within them. They will go to open, shooting war ONLY IF THEY HAVE TO. They prefer the Infiltration meth od. At the moment, Germany Is the BIG GAME they are gunning for. They hope to conquer Ger many from within. ony of an austerity-ridden life. . . I have no quarrel with escapism (getting away from It all) If It is not carried too far, but It's this what the hell attitude that we have to overcome If we are going to do anything about the (pres ent) disorder of society." WHAT he really means it that If people are going to get any where THEY'VE GOT TO HAVE HOPE. Without hope, we can't and won't work and achieve. If we could all become truly In spired with the hope that we can lick the Russians and get rid of communism and Its threat to everything we cherish, we'd be on the way toward the kind of world we want to live In In our time and leave to our children in their time. PROBLEMS Of THE FRINGE The Oregonian The proposal for annexation of the small Clackamas county tract, Sellwood Gardens, by the city of Portland is perhaps only the forerunner of several tuch plant Involving the populous resi dential fringe over the Portland boundaries In Multnomah. Clack amas and Washington counties. The truth is that residents of a number of these unincorporated communities have found that the disadvantage of living in areas which become almost as crowded city areas, but have Inade quate sewerage and water sys tems, fire and police protection, streets and mass transportation, nave overcome tne advantages. A principal Inducement In the movement of population to the country naa oeen lower taxes.

The competition for tax funds inherent In a system of districts piled one on top the other also has built up voters' reluctance to authorize more special levies tor neeaea services. The ultimate In civic frustra tion was reached in the South. west Hills. The residents of Cap itol Hill. Glencullen. Hillsdale. Sunset Ridge, West Portland and the business section of Multno mah voted last year to organize a sanitary district.

Direct ac tlon is the order of the day. and It's applied In all cases without discrimination. Within the Soviet t'nlnn every activity must conform to the Communist parly line. For exam ple, If science, medicine, the dra ma, literature and music are not developed In accordance with that line, there is a purge of the guilty. Apropos of this the Soviet academy of sciences yesterday promised to make its views oh heredity and environment con form Alth those of the Red party and pursue a course dedicated to the 'victory of Communism."
