MEETING SUBJECT "The Golden Decade" will be the subject of the Missionary Volunteer meeting to be held at 4:30 p.m. at the Valley View church Saturday afternoon. . Rev. Clifford J. Earle of Phila delphia, executive secretary of the Social Action department of the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. He must believe them strongly, for he said them at a place and time where they were not easy to say in the pulpit of a Pres byterian church at Little Rock, Ark., early this month. Many ministers, in the south as well as the north, share Dr. Earle's conviction that the segre gation controversy has brought American churches to a place where they have often arraigned other elements of society the judgment bar of God. The agony of conscience which thousands of clergymen are ex periencing on this subject is clearly evident in church publi cations ... in the formal resolu tions of denominational confer ences . . . and above all, in the private conversations that take place whenever a group of min isters meets. Brands Segregation A Sin Whether segregation is moral- Federated Dorcas Meet in Medford Miss Maybelle Vandermark, Home Missionary secretary for the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, located in Washington, D. C, was guest speaker at the Southern Oregon Federated Dorcas association meeting held in Medford, Mon day, Oct. 14. The all-day meeting, which took place in the new Red Cross building, 60 Hawthorne ave., was attended by representatives from nine Southern Oregon so cieties, and was presided over by Mrs. Bliss Hudson, Ashland, president of the Federation. Pastor Floyd Bresee of the Valley View church welcomed the delegates and conducted de votional services to open the meeting. Vocal solos were given by Mrs. Walter Chapman, Valley View, and Susie Bennett, Ash land. Mrs. Hudson introduced C. J. Richie, director of the Home Missionary and Dorcas Welfare work for the state of Oregon, who reported to the group on work done in the state through the year of 1956. Miss Vandermarks remarks were direcled principally toward helping society members learn better methods of approaching those who need help, and estab lishing a good relationship with them. She also gave suggestions on the setting up and operation of local welfare centers. Reports from the societies rep resented were given. The Medford society operates a welfare center behind the Med ford Seventh - day Adventist church, corner of Edwards and Beatty.

The Methodist men will serve the coffee hour at the close of the 11 a.m. services. The coffee hour will be held in Wesley hall, and ll mmbers and friends are invited to join in the fellowship. SERMON SUBJECT ' "Doctrine of Atonement" will be the subject of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, ser mon at 11 a.m. Sunday. Friday, Oeiob 18, 19S7 ly defensible is not the primary topic of these soul-searching ses sions. The vast majority of north ern ministers, and a substantial number of southern ministers, are personally in agreement with the declaration of the National Council of Churches and major denominational bodies branding segregation a sin. An earnest young,pastor, who serves the largest Methodist church in one city of the deep South, expressed the quandary in which many southern church leaders find themselves. 'I would like very much to stand up in that pulpit next Sun day and say what I really believe about race relations," he told this reporter. "It would ease my own conscience. But what would it do to my congregation. One or two of them might agree with J me they do already. The rest would turn against me, and pos sibly against the church as well. I would lose any chance I may have of leading them slowly into a more Christian attitude toward Negroes." This is the prudent approach, which most southern ministers apparently have decided to take. It is based on the belief that the church cannot attack segrega tion head-on in the present cli mate of southern feeling without alienating itself completely from the people it seeks to shepherd. Church Must Speak Out Behind it is the faith, or the hope, that southern Christians will gradually come to accept the implications of their religion in race relations if they are not driven to a hasty emotional choice between giving up their ties with the church or giving up their deeply-ingrained feel ings about segregation. Advocates of the prophetic ap proach believe that the church must speak out on seegregation today in the same bold, uncom promising voice that the proph- l ets of ancient Israel used in de nouncing the social evils of their day. To count the cost of such a stand, they say, is unworthy of a body whose founder followed his own convictions to a cross. This viewpoint is more com mon and easier to expound in northern pulpits. But it has also been eloquently expressed by a southern minister. "Churches must recognize the urgent necessity of taking a forthright stand on this crucial issue," he said. "Christians must decide whether they will obey the eternal demands of the al mighty. God, or whether they will capitulate to the transitory demands of the defendants of segregation." The author of that statement, Dr. Martin Luther King, knows how much it will cost any south ern clergyman who takes his ad vice. His own home was bombed last year when he led the Ne groes of Montgomery, Ala., in a "passive protest" against segre gation on city buses. Use and Understanding Of Bible Conference Set The conference on the Use and Understanding of the Bible will be held in the First Pres byterian church Thursday and Friday, Oct. 24 and 25.
