In IMS. Pall"tti founded tile So
ciety of tlie CallMilic .ostolatc to
"aid the church in her most press
ing and immediate needs, what
ever and wherever they are." At
first the society was an informal
group of Palloiti's religious and
lay friends, but alter receiving
papal approval from Pope (ireg
ory XVI in the summer of 18.1 j,
tlie society rapidly grew in Home
Within a few years the Society
of the Catholic Aoslolute had
spread throughout Kurope, and at
present numbers ever 200.000 in
ils membership made up of
priests, nuns, brothers, and the
laity. At the center of the society
are 2.200 I'alloltme Fathers and
Ilrollicrs. with western province

hospitals.
Among Ins accomplishments,

congregations can trace tlicir be
ginnings to Vincent Palloiti's
works.

The Baptist congregation re
quested an extension of the time
limit for removal of the church
and the adjoining annex, formerly
the parsonage, until Dec. 31, 1903.
The request was granted by tlie
supervisors.
The Baptists have been using
the facilities of the old church
(or their Sunday meetings since
I he destruction of their church by
(ire in October.
According to the Southern Bap
tist minister, Rev. L. K. Chism,
plans are now being drawn for a
new Southern Baptist Church to
be built on the site of their pre
vious church at Main and Fourth
streets. Chism said until the new
church is completed, the Baptists
will continue to hold their services
in the old Federated building, with
Sunday School at 9:45 a.m.; .Sun
day morning worship at II a.m.:
training union at K p.m.; and
evening worship at 7 p.m.
We hope to be in our new
church by early fall, but there arc
still a lot of details to be ironed
out," Chism said. He added that
Ihcy will remove the Fcderaled
Church building Iron, its present
location sometime in the fall.
Steeped in history, the old Fed
erated ( hurch was constructed in
HMO as the First Baptist Church
on land owned by the Donis
brothers. The site was then nnth
ing but prairie. In 11)40. the First
Baptist Church and the Congrega
tional Church merged to become
the Federated Community Church
The building has ben in continu

Christians of every communion
Protestants, Catholics. Anglicans
and Orthodox will join Jan. 18
25 in a week of prayer for Christ
tian unity.
This has become an annual ob
servance. When it began on a
small scale in 1940, it seemed
like a very far-fetched idea for
Christians of different denomina
tions to pray for unity. Their re
lations were so strained by cen
turies of mutual distrust and am
mosity that it was hard to see
how they could even achieve a
truce, let alone reunion.
But a tremendous change has
taken place during the past two
decades. How far and last events
have moved is witnessed by the
fact that in 1913, it does not
seem particularly remarkable
perhaps not even newsworthy
that all of the branches of Chris
tendom will be praying during the
next seven days for God to lead
them into that "oneness" which
is the expressed will of Christ.
In our lifetime," says the Rev.
Dr. W. A. Visser 't Hooft, sec
retary general of the World Coun

Local Missionary Leaves
For Thailand
Miss Dorothy Uhlig, a medical
missionary with 11 years of serv
ice, will leave from the San Fran
cisco International Airport on Jan.
25 to begin her third term of serv
ice in Thailand. Daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Howard Uhlig and a
native of Klamath Falls, she is
sent forth as a missionary by her
home church, the First Christian
Church of Klamath Falls.
Miss Uhlig returned home in
October, ISM, for a furlough of
just over a year and has spent
her time working closely with the
local church and speaking in
churches throughout the state con
cerning the work being ac
complished in Thailand. Youth
camps and Vacation Bible Schools
were included in her busy sum
mer schedule as she helped the
boys and girls become acquaint
ed with Thai children and the
general work on the field.
As a medical missionary in
Chicngkam, on the Thailand Plat
eau. Miss Uhlig served plateau
(aimers and their tribal neigh
bors in the surrounding moun
tains. As she returns to he Held
she anticipates working in (he
same area in Northern Thailand
where her training as a registered
nurse proved a valuable asset
Her duties included giving shots
and dispensing pills in the clinic
below her living quarters, locat
ed in a one-time mansion.
She also took frequent trips to
nearby villages to give medicine
and to teach Sunday Bible classes
On Saturday afternoons she would
have the local village children in
lor Bible classes, instructing Ihem
primarily through the use of visu
al leaching aids. Tlie people in

its lacihtics available. They do
not intend to ask lor contribtiiions
of money.
The program, which will got

The missionaries will probably
start the sessions with church
youths and their Iriends, who will

Council Cains Strength
The World Council of Churches
itself is one of those developments.
Prior to its establishment 15 years
ago, there was little cooperation,
and still less understanding,
among the non-Roman Catholic
churches of the world. Today more
than 200 Protestant, Anglican and
Orthodox denominations are work
ing together amicably in the World
Council.
Although they have found prac
tical cooperation easier to achieve
than doctrinal unity, they are
working on the latter, too. Next
July, more than 500 of the world's
leading theologians will meet in
Montreal to spend two weeks ex
ploring the differences in "faith
and order" which exist between
member churches of the World
Council.
Long after non-Catholic Cliris
tians began to draw together, in
what ecclesiastics call the "ecu
menical movement," the Church
of Rome remained alooi. It did
not even formally recognize the
existence of the World Council of
Churches.
Then, four years ago, Pope John
XXIII ascended to the chair of
St. Peter.

Miss Uhlig will deliver the eve

at the 7:30 p.m. service at First

The service, a farewell address
to the congregation, will be fol

to attend.
Her return trip w ill include stop
overs in Tokyo and Manila to visit
lellow missionaries, and she will
be met in Bangkok by a group of
missionaries with whom she has
worked in pat terms of service.
Correspondence from Thai friends
indicates those in Northern Thai
land are anxious for the return
of Miss Uhlig. whose years of
service have given her a keen
insight to the needs of the people.

dented things began to happen.
Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox-
Christians became "separated
brethren" rather than "schismat
ics and heretics." The Vatican
established formal liaison with the
World Council o Churches, and
sent official observers to its 1961
asssmbly in New Delhi. The Arch
bishop of Canterbury called on the
Pope blazing a trial which many
Protestant leaders were to follow
and was very warmly received
Protestant bodies were invited to
send observers to the Vatican
Council. They accepted, and their
delegates were treated with a cor
dial hospitality which made a
profound impression on all of
protestantism.
It is no exaggeration to say that
more barriers between Catholics
and Protestants have fallen dur
ing the four years of Pope John's
reign than in all of the preced
ing four centuries since the Re
formation.
Reunion Far OK
Despite the swift movement of
events, nearly all leaders of the
ecumenical movement agree that
lull reunion of the Christian fam
ily is still a very long way off.
In fact, it may be said to be
so far off as to be presently out
of sight, since no human eye can
discern solutions for the deep
and sincere theological difleren,ces
which divide Catholics and Prot
estants. Realism also requires the ac
knowledgment that there remain
many practical causes of friction
between Christian groups for ex
ample, the divisive dispute over
aid to parochial schools in the
United States, or the issue of re
ligious liberty for Protestants in
predominantly Catholic countries
such as Spain.
But Christians distressed about
these things should remember the
adage about the man who
couldn't see the forest for the
trees.
