Doctors and Nurses
Needed in Alaska
The Board of Missions! the
Methodist church is looking for
enough doctors, nurses and
medical technicians to operate
three small hospitals in Alaska
hospitals that cannot be op
erated unless such key person
nel are found. Three doctors,
twelve nurses and four techni
cians are minimum needs.
One hospital, the Community
Hospital at Valdez, is built and
equipped, but is not operating
for lack of medical personnel.
Out at Sand Point on the re
mote Aleutian Island chain is
a hospital formerly operated by
a fishing company.
In January, 1956. the Wom
an's Division of Christian Serv
ice of the mission received a
request from the Chamber of
Commerce of Kenai, also in
south central Alaska, for the
Division to operate a 10-bed hos
pital to be built there. The pro
posed hospital, to be built and
equipped with Government
funds, will serve four towns
with a population of 6,000. The
only medical care available now
is from a part-time public health
nurse. But no personnel was
available.
Qualified doctors, nurses or
medical technicians interested
should contact the office of mis
sionary personnel, 150 Fifth
ave., New York, 11, N.Y.

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.

Tonight the woman's fellow
ship and their daughters will be

Ministers to Meet;
Election of Officers
The last meeting of the Med
ford Ministerial association this

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.

"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.

of our God will stand for ever." Isaiah 40:8.
