During his talk at the lone United Church of Christ last Wednesday evening, Dr. Klefxchnelder stated that because of this in about 35 or 10 yearn, we will have one Christian out of every five or six people In the world, Instead of the present ratio of one out of every three. The same flu ures will also apply to the mat ter of color. America, Canada, and Europe have approximately 42,000 mis sionaries In Asia, Africa and the Islands of the sea. The United Church of Christ spends 85 of its mission money In cooperation with other denom inations in areas of agricultur al Improvement, education, to help combat the extreme Ignor ance In many lands, sanitation, hospitals and nursing schools. In addition to the teaching of Christianity. The retention of national cultures Is encouraged as much as possible. Dr. Klefschnelder reminded us that there are many "ugly Americans" abroad, but that there are also many fine Chris tian tourists, business people, Peace Corps workers, and mis sionaries that arc giving an Im age of America of which we can be proud. He gave a very Inter esting talk on his visit to Af rica and showed slides of many areas In Ghana, where 30 lang uages are spoken In a country about the size of Oregon. This hampers the workers moving from one tribe to another. He found the African an apprecia tive person, amusing, thought ful and anxious to learn al though always moving at a leisurely pace. Following a question and an swer period, a coffee hour was enjoyed by those present at the meeting, which was sponsored by the Women's Fellowship. Dr. Rlefschnelder was a guest of Rev. and Mrs. Walter B. Crowell on Wednesday evening and they drove him to Condon on Thursday, where he was to speak.
