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.
To implement these decisions
appeals for aid will go out to
the World Council of Church
es 178 member churches.
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 scheme em
braces a small farming proj
ect, where better agricultural
methods suited to local prob
lems can be studied, and the
formation of a social center
whore mothers can attend
courses in home economics,
child welfare, and hygiene.
Adult education courses will
also be provided.
The committee planned to
have funds ready to found a
third colony of Old Believers
if the flow of White Russian
refugees from China con
tinues. It is estimated that
$200,000 would be needed to
start this third colony in
Brazil.
The committee also appeal
ed to the churches to continue
their support of the Freedom
from Hunger Campaign of the
Food and Agriculture Organization.

Reasons For....
BELIEVING THE BIBLE
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth"
(Genesis 1:1). 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

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). Shi B f valHwr f s!eetc iean'M etfereW

Reader friend, the Edible is God's light to man (2 Timothy
3:16-17, 2 Petai 1:19-21, Ephesians 3). 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.

Being is now reacted as scientmcaiiy im
possible. The account of the creation in
Genesis is irrefutable.
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.
