Islamic Center Completion in BY LOUIS CASSELS United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) In this city of famous sights, a sound is the newest tourist attraction It is the wailing sound of a muzzin s voice issuing from a loudspeaker in the minaret of a mosque. Five times a day it calls Washington's Moslems to prayer with the sing-song Arabic words: "La llah ilia Allah, Muham- med rasula Allah" there is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is his prophet. . The prayer calls were heard for the first time this month, at the start of. the Moslem holy season of Ramadan. They will continue year-round of worship in the future, as a regular part of worship at the Islamic Center now nearing completion on fash ionable Massachusetts ave. .here. Construction of this beautiful white mosque in the heart of the U.S. capital has brought home to American Christians a fact which their missionaries in Asia have been reporting, with mounting concern, for the past several years. The major Asian religions, af ter centuries of decline and de cadence, are again showing vig orous signs of life. The strong spirit of nationalistic pride sweeping Asia has sparked a re surgence of loyalty to native faiths, such as Mohammedanism, Buddhism and Hinduism. And it has raised formidable new bar riers to the further spread of Christianity, which many Asians associate with "Western colon ialism." Dr. Tracey K. Jones Jr., ex: ecutive secretary of the Meth odist Board of Missions, told a recent conference of Christian leaders that the Asian religions have now begun to "look upon the United States itself as a fer tile ground for their missionary efforts." "They are gaining converts and building temples in this country," he said. Limited Seal A United Press survey, promp ted by Dr. Jones, remarks, indi cate that this "reverse mission ary" effort is still on an ex tremely limited scale in Amer ica. A spokesman for the Islamic Center said there are about 100, 000 Moslems in the United States, of whom the vast major ity are immigrants from Arab countries or the children of im migrants. The biggest Moslem communities are in New York, Detroit and Toledo, Ohio. The Washington mosque serves about 500 local Moslems, to embassies of Arab nations here. CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH Thomas McCamant, Minister Groveland Ave. and Oakwood Drive Church Worship at 9:45 and 11 a.m. Church School at 9:45 Sermon "Home Demonstration" Baptists Set Banquet and Film A mother-daughter banquet and the showing of Christian film, "Seventeen" will highlight the activities at the First Bapt ist church this weekend. The film "Seventeen' recent ly received the award as "film of the year" by Youth Cinema Inc. an interdenominational group. The production is design ed .especially for young people. The story backdrop is a modern high school, where a group of students make it known that they are Christians. The film will be shown on Sunday eve ning at 6:30. Tonight the woman's fellow ship and their daughters will be served dinner by the men of the church under the direction of Vmce Smith. Music for the din ner will be supplied by the daughters in the form of solos, duets and trios. Several of the mothers will give readings bas ed on the theme "Hands." The toastmistress for the affair will be Mrs. Bonnie. Wilson, and the evening devotion will be given by Mrs. J. W. Neely. The Rev. James Neely is pas tor of the congregation. Ministers to Meet; Election of Officers The last meeting of the Med ford Ministerial association this spring will be held Tuesday, May 14, at 10 a.m. in the fire place room of the First Presby terian church, Medford. The fol lowing meeting will be held in September. Officers for the coming year will be elected at the meeting. The Rev. John Bright, assistant pastor of St. Mark's Episcopal church, will give the devotional. Paul Haviland, chairman of the Kiwanis club committee to investigate what can be done about removing indecent litera ture from the news stands, will speak to the group. The association is open to min isters of all denominations and churches in the area. Nears Washington "We "have gained some con verts among native-born Amer icans, especially those of the colored races," said the Moslem spokesman. "We have no precise figures on these, but the total probably doesn't exceed 3,000, Most of them are in Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Chicago." The attraction of the Moslem faith to some American Negoes may be due in part to its em phasis on elimination of any dis tinctions of race or color within the "Brotherhood of Islam: Moslem missionaries have made this point with telling effect in Africa, where Christian mission aries are seriously handicapped by the widespread knowledge that most of America's churches are racially segregated. The only other Asian religion which has a substantial follow ing in America is the Judo Shin sect of Buddhism, organized in this country under the name of Buddhist Churches of America. It has 48 churches, of which 34 are in California. These churches have a total of about 50,000 members, most of them Ameri cans of Japanese descent. Intellectual Movement ' Hitoshi Tsufura, spokesman for the church at its San Fran cisco headquarters, told the Unit ed Press that there has been a "small but steady flow" of white converts into Buddhism in recent years. Most of these converts, he said, are university professors and students who find intellect ual satisfaction in Buddhist phi losophy. Dr. M. S. Sundaram, cultural attache of the Indian embassy, said there are "at most" 4,000 Hindus in the United States, most of them natives of India who are here on diplomatic or other business. "It is sheer rubbish to say that Hindus are conducting a mission ary effort in the United States," he said. "Hindus will not even accept converts, let alone seek them. The only way you can be come a Hindu is to be born into the faith." Some Americans of Chinese descent are followers of Confu cianism and Taoism. But these religions have no formal organ ization and no membership esti mate is possible. Despite the resurgence of na tive religions in Asia, Christian ity still has far more adherents than any other faith. There are about 800 million Christians In the world, compared to about 321 million Moslems, 309 mil lion Hindus, 300 million Confu cians', 150 million Buddhists, 50 million Toaists and 12 million Jews.
