Missionary Gives
Viewpoints on World
Population Problems
IONK The population explos
ion, as seen throuRh the eyes
of Dr Henry Rlefschnelder, was
the slnRle most terrifying fact
revealed durlr.R his world tour
of Missions. 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.
