Johnston and Stewart JUNIOR BOOT SHOP 211 East Main Street A.7 African Missions Program Topic For Fellowship "Our Brotherhood's Mis sion in Africa" was the topic of the program given for the January Christian Women's Fellowship meeting. It was presented by Shoemaker cir cle, with Mrs. Paul Andrews as program chairman. Miss Gertrude Shoemaker, the missionary for whom the circle is named, is on leave from Belgian Congo at this time and spoke at First Chris tian church services January 3. The first public schools were started in the Congo in 1948 and are only in the large cities, it was said. One city with 520,000 population has only one public, school. Other schools are sponsored by Protestant and Roman Ca tholic missions. There are over 15,000 in Congo schools now but they need many more schools and teachers. Bible lessons are given every day and almost 100 per cent become Christians in the ear ly grades, according to the re port. Schools are now being started for wives and moth ers in the region. They learn to read and write, do a little arithmetic, sewing, baby care, hygiene, cooking, French, etc. Girls usually were uned ucated because they did the gardening, carrying of wood, and other work. Many mar ried at 13 years. Church membership in the Belgian Congo is growing ra pidly but they have too few ministers, it was said. There is now a preacher's school, comparable to American high school and a pastor's school, or college type, has been started. With these, baptisms have risen rapidly, the reports said. South Africa had its first American missionary in 1926 and 1929. Mrs. William C. Piper stated this was known as the Thomas mission. In 1945 the U n i t e d. Christian Missionary society sent the Rev. and Mrs. Basil Holt to Johannesburg. The Holts were natives of South Africa and had asked the society to sponsor them in mission work. In 1956 UCMS reorgan ized South Africa as a Mis sion field. The Disciples churches lo cated in. Southern Rhodesia and East Africa are sponsored by New Zealand churches. The English also conduct mis sion work in East Africa. The Medford church fel lowship ranked fourth in Ore gon for money given to UCMS last year. In December $1,000 was sent to the society to help with missionary work. The fellowship . also assists . with local philanthropic and mis sion work. Mrs. D. F.
