Oregon, friday, February 13. 1939
dinal Spellman of New York
said sympathetic Christians
everywhere should offer fer
vent prayers that their be
leaguered brethren in China
may be given the grace to
"persevere in their loyalty to
Christ and to His church."
Protestants Alarmed
U.S. Protestant leaders are
equally alarmed, the Rev. Dr.
Wallace C. Merwin, executive
secretary of the China Com
mittee of the National Council
of Churches, is circulating an
official report to major Pro
testant bodies detailing some
of the "crippling blows"
which the Red government
has recently directed at relig
ion in China.
According to this report,
the Communists have closed
188 of the 200 Protestant
churches in Shanghai and 61
of the 65 churches in Peiping.
The few Protestant churches
allowed to remain open have
been forced into a puppet or
ganization called the "Three
Self Patriotic Movement," un
der the control of "ministers"
selected by the Red govern
ment. The same technique is being
used against Chinese Catho
lics, who outnumber Protes
tants by about 3 to 1.
The government's first
move, in 1957, was to set up
a "Patriotic Association of
Chinese Catholics." When
threats and blandishments
failed to bring enough Cath
olics into this puppet church,
the Communists set out to
force Chinese Catholic bish
ops to consecrate new priests
chosen, by the government.
20 Priests Consecrated
. What methods were used to
break the bishops' resistance
can only be conjectured. The
record shows, however, that
Bishop Joseph Li of Puchi
publicly declared last year he
would "never perform" any
illicit consecrations.
Some weeks later, after in
tensive "indoctrination" b y
government agents, Bishop Li
consecrated two government
selected priests at Hankow
Cathedral.
So far, 20 priests have been
consecrated in this way. Re
ports from Red China indi
cate that 12 or 15 new Cath
olic bishops have been "elect
ed" in a similar fashion.
' None of these priests and
bishops are recognized by
Rome. All participants in the
illicit consecrations are auto
matically excommunicated.
Catholic leaders say the
Communists are obviously try
ing to create a schismatic
church in China, which calls
itself Catholic but which has
no relationship with the real
Catholic church.
What happens to Chinese
Christians who resist the gov
ernment's drive to bring the
churches into captive status?
Reports reaching U.S. relig
ious leaders indicate that
many have been killed or im
prisoned. But the great ma
jority apparently have been
drafted into forced labor bat
talions. Communion Added
To Local Service
"God Understands" is the
sermon topic for Sunday's
sermon chosen by the Rev.
John E. Simon of St. Peter's
Lutheran church, 1020 East
Main st. The combined junior

for this "service.
Shortly after the service a

be held for members who
would like to partake of the
Lord's supper more frequent

age groups begins at 9:30 a.m.
Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. Mr.
Simon will conduct the sec
ond in the present series of

of Jesus from the Cross, the
promise to the penitent male
factor, "Today thou shalt be
with me in Paradise."

Poetry, Hymns
Urged To Observe
Period of Lent
Editor's note: This is another in
a series of special Lenten messages
written for United Press Inter
naional by leading Am erican
clergymen.
By THE REV. J. CARTER
SWAIM
'Executive Director
Department of the Bible
National Council of Churches
Written for UPI
As we celebrate this year
the 150th anniversary of Dar
win's birth, it is profitable to
remember his regret that he
had allowed science to crowd
everything else out of his
life. "My mind seems to have
become a kind of machine,"
he said, "for grinding general
laws out of a large collection
of facts. If I had my life to
live over again, I would have
made a rule to read some
poetry and listen to some
music at least once every
week."
Hymn Book Ranks High
Next to the Bible itself,
the best book of religion is
the hymn book. Isaac Watts,
the father of English hymn
ody, was a philosopher whose
text book on Logic was wide
ly used in universities. Yet
he did not allow metaphysics
to crowd out poetry. All his
life he tried to express him
self metrically as he thought
David would have done had
he lived in New Testament
times.
The voice of the scientists
is now the one most often
heard in our land. How better
could we observe Lent than
in listening to the poets and
meditating upon the great
hymns of the church.
