World Council To Aid Refugees And Homeless Geneva, Switzerland - De cisions which will aid refu gees, homeless and uprooted peoples in many parts of the world were taken at a recent meeting of the Administrative Committee of the Division of Inter-Church Aid in Geneva.

The Division is seeking to raise one million dollars from the churches for relief work the Congo. Missionary boards are also making ap peals, and doctors and nurses are being recruited by the churches to work in the Con go. Church World Service of the National Council of Churches is undertaking a drive for $500,000 for Congo needs as the U.S. share of the world appeal. The committee heard M. Pierre Benignus, of the Paris Mission, on the 10-month long disturbances in the new state of Cameroon, from which he recently returned. M. Benignus reported that 80 per cent of church proper ty in the districts where fight ing has taken place has been destroyed, either by Maquis ards or soldiers hunting them. He reported he visited one station that had been bombed by planes. M, Benignus explained that the attucks on church property were not made because of religious Intolerance, but were made because both the Maqui- sards and the soldiers thought that their enemies were using churches as centres of activity. He was certain that after a year's fighting the people generally were "fed up" with the strife. The committee authorized the launching of an appeal for up to $200,000 for the rebuild ing work that is necessary and to help the local churches re orientate themselves to the government's social regroup ing program. Farm Project in Chile The committee also author ized an appeal for $80,000 over a three-year period for world church support for the Calama project in Chile, South America.

This passage has been unsuccessfully challenged through the years by many conflicting and changing theories. Any theory that refuses the pre-existence of an Omnipotent 5 ' Jh&Xisx W.- ' ' ' g Dennii Most minister The Bible is not a textbook on science, but It does contain much scientific information. The Bible declared the earth to be round over 2,000 years before man dared risk it (Isaiah 40:22). Moses wrote that God gathered all the seas into one bed (Gen esis 1:9-10) over 3,000 years ago. About the same time the Bible revealed that there is emptiness in the north, the earth is not supported by visible means, and there are springs in the seas (Job 26:7, 38:15). How were Isaiah, Moses and Job able to write these truths centuries before scientists learned them? They wrote by inspiration of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:19 21).

Let us study It diligently (2 Timothy 2:15, 2 Peter 1:5-11) and learn to walk in Its light (I John 1:4-7). We must not allow Satan's deceptive devices to hinder our studying the Bible.

The Bible is the ONLY record of man's origin, purpose, and destiny. Although the Bible does not contain all the history of man, what it does contain is accurate. Archaelogoy testifies that the Bible is true. Discoveries in such ancient cities as Babylon, Ur, Jericho, cities of Nimrod (Genesis 10), etc. agree with the Bible. Science always agrees with the Bible. Even though theories of scientists often disagree with the Scriptures, science never does. Why? Because the Creator of heaven and earth also gave us the Bible.
