delegates of the Convocation of
Oregon Council of Churches.
Dr. Bodcy . pastor of the First
Methodist Church in Evanston,
111 went on to say v must edu
cate or perish in the business of
church fellowship.
The church, he emphasized, must
take on the task or educating.
And. he added, every person who
calls himself a Christian should
be willing to study his religion
and its history.
Church fellowship, he taid, is
fundamental to the life of the
church and is the nucleus of bro
therhood. Religion began in the
homes of the faithful. To those peo
ple the problem of one was the
problem of all. "Unity and com
munity arc the tokens of fellow
ship." Church," he said, "is fellowship
in which men and people find
their way again."
A student once asked the doc
tor. "What's in it for me what is
religion and the church?" s
First, replied the minister, it is
a crusade. "We must have a min
istry of social conscience." The
church purpose is a way of living
and has no meaning unless it can
he interpreted in specific problems
people face.
And as far as problems are
concerned, ho added, the church
is not the place to seek serenity
hut to seek problems and to solve
them there is no peace on earth,
he added "only in God."
The church, he continued, must
address itself realisticaly to prob
lems. "It is the business of the
church to keep people disturbed
about love of God and they must
face the problems of the world."
"Religion." he said, "is not built
like a contour chair for comfort
it is a job."
Benson Urges
Flexible Props
ForWPull'
LAS VKGAS. Nev. Secre-
j tary of Agriculture Benson said
i Thursday the present flexible
price support system the - key
I plan of the Kisenhower adminis
tration arm program should be
broadened "as a long range
coal."
; Such broadening is needed, he
said, to permit "greater freedom
for prices to change."
i In a speech prepared for the
National Wool Growers Assn. con
j vention here, Benson said he ad
I vocates government price sup
I ports "not as an end in them
I selves but as a- way of providing
needed stability in agriculture."
j The present flexible system was
j adopted by Congress in 1954 upon
! recommendation of President Ki
jSenhower. Replacing high, rigid
'supports of the Truman adminis
s (ration, the new floors range be
! tween 75 and 90 per cent of par
i ity for major crops. Parity is a
! standard for measuring farm
! prices declared by law to be fair
,to farmers in relation to prices
I they pay.
I Benson said price supports
! should be maintained "at the
highest possible level that does
not require excessive restriction
on production and docs not inter
fere with marketings or build up
surplus stocks."
But he did not specify how
much lower he thought the legal
range for supports should be.
Of particular interest to wool
growers was Benson's reference
to suggestions that the govern
ment pay western livestock men
to reduce razing of cattle and
sheep on range lands during dry
periods.
Und Bank Loan. , Convicts Get

SPOKANE tfl The Federal
Land Bank of Spokane reported
Thursday it closed a record 'of
3,445 loans for 34 V, million dollars
last year for farmers in Wash
ington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana.
President Fred A. Knutsen said
this was an increase of about 2
million dollars over 1955 and the
highest volume in the 40-ycar
history of the bank.
