CHURCH NEWS
- National Religious Publicity Council
to Democratic leaders of Con-
1 gress.
Sen. Hubert H. 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

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.
