S contribution to the World Refugee Year which began July 1 They feel that the four mil lion dollars promised by the Eisenhower administration is too little to make much im pact on refugee problems.

Humphrey (D-Minn.) has assured them he will sponsor legislation-prob- ably in the form of an amend ment to the already-pending foreign aid bill - to raise the U. S. . contribution to 10 mil lion dollars.. This is the minimum sum required, according to the U. S. national committee for refu gees, to carry out the three major projects which the com mittee has selected for Amer ica's part in the World Refu gee Year. Three Major Projects These projects are: 1. Resettling in this coun try up to 20,000 of the 43,000 refugees who are still living in UN camps in Europe, where , some of them have been since the end of World War H, 14 years ago. 2. Providing material aid in the form of housing,' medi cal clinics, schools and food - for some of the 1,000,000 refu gees from, Red China who have fled into Hong Kong, where many of them are liv ing in the streets, on rooftops and in cardboard shanties. 3. Building vocational schools in the Middle East to train for self-supporting work some of . the 800,000 Arab refugees from Palestine. The World Refugee Year is sponsored by tha United Na tions, under a "resolution in troduced by the United States and Great Britain and adopt ed by the General Assembly last fall. More than 50 free nations are participating. It is an effort to focus on the humanitarian problem of homeless people the same kind of international concern and cooperation that led to such striking results in physi cal science during the recent International Geop h y s i c a 1 Year. As in the IGY, each nation decides for itself what con tribution it will make. Religious leaders, who are strongly supporting the under taking, had hoped for drama tic U.S. leadership that would inspire other countries to go all out in trying to solve refugee problems. White House Conference Their hopes were strength ened when President Eisen hower called 200 prominent Americans, including leaders of the major faiths, to a White House conference in May to plan for U.S. participation. But the churchmen learned at the conference that the ad ministration had earmarked four million dollars from the President's contingency fund and other already-appropriated funds for the U.S. contri bution. The White House con ference, in an extraordinary action, adopted a resolution calling this inadequate. Despite urgent requests from church leaders, the ad ministration so far has not asked Congress for any addi tional funds. . Church organizations are now preparing to take their fight into the open, both in Congress and in the public at I large. Church World Service, the refugee relief arm of the National Council of Churches, is distributing to ministers in all parts of the nation memorandum ' summing up the facts of the situation. To provide less than 10 million dollars" the memoran- aum says, ' seems to retiect a lack of seriousness with which our government is now re garding the World Refugee Year, which it joined in spon soring in the United Nations Lord's Supper Set At Eastwood Church The Lord's Supper will be observed at the 11 a.m.. serv ice at the Eastwood Baptist church, North Keene Way dr. at Ridgeway ave., Sunday.

The serv ice will also include music and Scripture reading, it was reported. Man Answers Question in Recent Book By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International Does God really exist? That question arises sooner or later in every human mind. It haunts the believer in his hours of doubt, the non-believer no less in his. Several years ago, a serious illness raised the question in acute form for Thomas E. Powers, a New York adver tising man. Powers had been, in his own phrase, a "liberal-scientific-humanist-atheist-agnostic." He was fairly sure there was nothing to religion, but in desperation he decided to test for himself its assertion that God is, and that his reality can be experienced by anyone who honestly seeks him. "It worked." In those two words, from the preface, is the essential message of an extraordinary new book by Powers, publish ed by Harper and Brothers. Given Poor Title Somebody has given it the unfortuante title, "First Ques tions on the jife of the Spirit." Seldom has a label been more inappropriate to the contents For this is not a stuffy academic discourse on spirit ual life. It is a powerfully- written handbook on how to find God, by a man who did so, to his own vast surprise Although the intellectual level of this book is always adult, and at times even scholarly, Powers writes in the breezy, uninhibited lang uage of the advertising man He gets down to brass tacks on the first page. "If you are in trouble or in some sort of crisis-if you seriously and quickly need to satisfy yourself that God ex- ists-it can be done without a lot of skull-cracking or waste of breath. "Here is how: "First-avoid like the plague all unnecessary argument and debate. Accept God as a work ing hypothesis. You can do this without straining your in tellectual integrity, whatever your outlook on life may be Sincerely ask him, if he exists, to help you and steer you. Associate with Delivers "Second-find .and associate with a group of people who really do believe in God and who are working their belief in daily life.. Try to find group who are really doing this and not just talking about it. "Third-be open and truth ful with these people about your situation, whatever it it, and follow the reasonable sug gestions they make to you. Begin to train yourself as they are training and to do the things they are doing. "Fourth-keep an open mind and watch. The evidence of God's presence and influence will appear in your own life, possibly sooner than you ex pect." This is what Powers calls the "emergency" approach to God. Village Mission Director Visitor Butte Falls - Guest speaker at the Butte Falls Community Bible church last Sunday was the Rev. Walter Duff, director of Village Missions through out the United States.
