Presiding Bishop Asks European Relief fund This U an exact transcript of Presiding Bishop Sherrill's ra dio address at 11:30 a.m.. Sun day, February 29. and is re printed here lor the benefit of those who may have wished to hear it but could not get good radio reception. Today, even the most hard hearted realists are talking In terms of a world crisis and of world needs. Therefore, it is es pecially important that we who are Christians should recall the familiar words, "God so loved the world that He gave." Christianity Is either for all men or it has validity for none. The Christian Fellowship, wor shipping the God who has made of one blood all nations of men, knows no barriers of nationality, for in Christ we are members one of another and so we are to bear one another's burdens. Today our fellow Christians In many lands in Europe, in the Near East, and In the Far East are in dire need. Some of us have seen these deeply moving scenes and people with our own eyes. Everyone who can read knows the fact hat millions of people lack the barest necessities of life: food, warmth, clothes, shelter. There is such a gulf between con ditions at home and In these countries that It Is difficult for us to realize the actuality of what Is happening. The mention of the millions of sufferers tends to make conditions seem unreal. If any one of us sees an undernour ished child or a person enfeebled by illness or great age, or a crip ple, we are immediately touched and desirous of being of help. Surely we should be able to vis ualize what this means multi plied literally millions of times. Cold, starvation, with resulting sickness and death these are grim realities which, if they are comprehended, must move deep ly to sacrificial action. Man cannot live without bread but neither can he live by bread alone. He is a child of God. He must have the opportunity to worship", the word of life In the Old and New Testaments, the sacraments and the ministry of the Christian Church for in these, if we believe what we say, are to be found the sources of strength to overcome despair and to find the true meaning of life, in all sorrows and joys as against mere existence. Men must possess the gifts of the Spirit, Faith, Cour age, and especially Hope: Faith in God and in men; Courage to face a most difficult task of re building not only physical ruins but the minds, hearts, and souls of men; Hope not only for the present but into Enternity of God. The inescapable lesson of the past forty years is that the world's problem is spiritual. Un til men have come to realize that God reigns, all our efforts econ omic and political and cultural are doomed to failure. So it is today I call our people to the support of the Churches' program of World Relief. There will be those who will ask why the Churches should engage in this work when the government is doing so much in the appro priation of great sums and when there are so many private organi zations devoted to the same pur pose. We heartily approve the program of government and of private relief agencies, but it is also essential that gifts should go to Christians of other lands, not in the name of any nation or of any organization, but in the name of Christ, as a witness to the universal fellowship of the Church. Such a gift may be of food, or of clothing material things but these will bear too the invisible gifts of the spirit in the name of our Master. Further more, since this relief is distri buted through the local Churches in every land here is a practical means of strengthening the Church by making possible thru the churches the bearing of relief to those in need.

I have purchased a tank pump and am in nositinn to give prompt, efficient service. Phone 702 HO WAR DKEITHLEY Let us make no mistake. It is vitally important for every rea son to keep alive, and as strong as possible the Christian Church es of these devastated countries. We talk much of democracy, but democracy is a political expres sion of a deeper Faith in God and in the eternal worth of ev ery human soul because we are the children of God. It is truly touching to read the letters of gratitude which come from abroad. The material gifts have of, course been of immeasurable help, but equally so have been the gifts of Christian fellowship across the seas. I wish that there were time to read excerpts from some of these messages, from the old Catholic Church, the Ortho dox Church, a Lutheran pastor or a Christian worker, and from many others in Europe and the Far East. It is not only that the world is today looking to America in the difficult postwar problems which confront all men, the Christians of these lands abroad are looking to the Christians of America for assistance for the hand of brotherhood. Let me say again we must not underestimate the importance to the whole cause of Christ of strengthening these local Chur ches. In these countries there is almost a total lack of Bibles, Church school lessons, and Chris tian literature in general, due to the destruction of war and the shortage of paper. Theological education has been greatly ham pered and upon such education, to a large extent, depends the Church of the future. In some places it has been necessary to erect temporary barracks to make public worship possible. This help has nothing to do with re building destroyed churches with their shattered stained glass and broken arches. We are helping only to maintain the barest ne cessities which make possible the continued spiritual life of these Churches amid most dishearten ing and even desperate condi tions. Here then is a Mecedonian cry from our Christian brethren. As we think of the blessings and the comforts we enjoy, as we wor ship this morning in peace and beauty of our own parish chur ches, can we in the presence of God, the loving Father of all, fail lo respond? I close with these familiar and heartsearching words: "But whosoever has this world's goods and beholdeth his brother in need and shutteth up his com passion from him, how doth the love of God abide in him? "Which of these three thinkest thou proved neighbor unto him that fell among thieves? And he said He that showed mercy on him and Jesus said unto them, Go and do thou likewise." 50TH ANNIVERSARY EVENT SET Announcement has been re ceived from Corvallis that Mr. and Mrs. William P.
