He will also di rect the camp program, partici pate in visitation, and serve as song leader for the Sunday eve ning services. Before coming to Klamath Falls. week the church voted to Issue Rev. Fenderson was associated the call, said Rev. Frcemanlwith two other Oregon churches. High and Lifted Up LENTEN LIFELINES By RAU'H W. LOKYV. D.D. Written for Newspaper Enterprise Assn. There is an ancient story in the Old Testament which told of a serpent, made of brass, which Moses held on a staff before the people, that Uicy might bo healed. It might have been only an in cident from the distant past ex cept that it became magnificently alive when Jesus discussed the possible event in his own life "As Moses lifted up the ser pent In the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up." Tho other insight is from the prophet Isaiah who spoke of on experience, in his life, "In the year that King Uzzlnh died, I saw the Lord, high and lifted up. Now tho point of all this for our own existence Is that wc ought to have something to lift us up beyond peering into distant space or the attempt to measure our universe. Unless wo have a faith great enough to lift us up. we shall live in illusions. One of these deluding hopes is that wc can do it ourselves, as though all we need is to devise a kit of rules and with enough spunk, somehow wo can pull ourselves vut of our problems. Or there Is tho other illusion which makes us think that we're not going to see much when we look up. So it makes us content to talk of man's existence as though It wero all noiso and sex and selfish individualism. 1 1 s definition of life is pretty much Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been? I've been to London to visit the Queen. Pussy cat, pussy cat, what saw you there? I saw a mouso right under her chair. It is the mark of this faith that Is brought into focus during Lent that calls tilings by their right name. Pain, sin. ugliness, death, shame all these are not camou. flaged. They are to bo met. But these are not Uie end of the sto ry. Jesus said, "In this world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the Altar Group Plans Party BI.Y The Altar Rosary Society of St. James Catholic Church met at tho home of Mrs. Martin Mels ness on March 11 to discuss th coming fund-raising dinner mid card party. 'Hie group also be gan practicing the music which will be used during the High Mass on Easter Sunday. Among the 12 memliei-s present for the meeting were Mrs. Martin Cav en, president, and Mrs. Edward Smith, secretary-treasurer. world." This overcoming of the problem gave another dimension to life. There was a reason to interpret the suffering, a goal be yond the moment. It is a measure of greatness that only those who lift tile value of all people are truly great. This puts tho sense of vocation the reason to lift Into every man's experience. When Jane Addams was being buried In Chicago years ago, an old Italian lady stood in the midst of tho oratory and eulogies to in sist on a simple experience. She said eloquently, "She 'puslia' me up. So, in the life of a person there can be that which lifts up. For St. Paul it was in a per. sonal experience. When lie thought of Christ and his cross, he could say simply, "For me to live is Christ, to die is gain. . am persuaded: thai nothing can separate us from the lovo of God through Christ Jesus our Ixird.'" Here was a faith that lifts up. Perhaps, we've sent too much lime and money on public rein Uons and personal publicity in an attempt to lift ourselves before mankind. Whenever people talk about foreign aid or some other noble project they ask, "What will it get us?" In tho end men want to see truth expressed through the personal Integrity and dedication of tho human being. Wo don't need to try to sell men on tho idea which gives dignity to all persons. A cross is a strange symbol to lift up. In itself it represents cruelly. On such cruelty, love Is expressed. It is that fact which still lifts men and becomes the critical fact in our own religious experience, iiod s good news wasn't born in an attempt to rationalize our situation. It was born out of crosses and suffer ings that came because love was the only way to handle the situa tion. The really courageous people arc not those who go whistling as though nothing was wrong. The really courageous people know the horrible w rong but they have also seen the overcoming right. (II them some can say, "They pusha mo up. They themselves say. For me to live Is (.'hirst, to die is gain. MNtiO HLASTKI) CHN "In tho name of sweet liarily, churches, private clubs, fraternal, civic and service groups break tltc law in many areas of Pennsylvania" by operating bin go games, tho llanishurg Eve ning News asserted In a recent editorial. The News noted that bingo is classed s gambling un der Pennsylvania law "and gam bling is against the law." The Pennsylvania legislature has be fore it a bill to legalise bingo for churches, charities, and certain social events, but the News com mented unfavorably on such legislation. He was minister of the Tri City Conservative Baptist Church in Myrtle Creek for (our years, and for two years served as pastor of the Myrtle Point Baptist Church. He studied at the University of Minnesota and received a B.A, Degree from Bethel College in Minneapolis, Minn. He later at tended the Bethel Seminary in that city. Rev.

Special Church Day Recognized All Camp Fire Girls in the Klamath Council will observe Church Day March 111 - 17 nnd attend the church of their choice in their service costume. The first part of the Camp Fire Law is "Worship God." Every member knows this law, and one day is recognized ouch year for the girls to attend church serv Ices wearing their service cos- liime to honor tho law. Plan Helps Kick Habit Of Tobacco As a non-denominational free community service, the Klamath Falls Seventh - dav Adventist Church will sponsor a controlled program for those who wish to stop smoking. The course will run for five consecutive evenings, March 17 - 21, at 7:30 p.m. in the Green Room of the Winema Ho tel. The Five-Day Plan to Stop Smoking, offered in cooperation with an American health journal, 'Life and Health." is not a reli gious program. The sessions will be conducted by Dr. Robert W. Graham, local ophthalmologist and eye surgeon, and directed by El der Kenneth H. McVay, Seventh day Adventist minister. Regarded as a comprehensive assault on the habit, the Five Day Plan involves group therapy, lectures, films, the buddy system, and a personal control booklet. Discussions will be held on such topics as the physical effects of smoking, exercises in strengthen ing will power, and weakening physical craving for tobacco. Because smoking is a complex neuromuscular habit which mil lions of people seem unable to break, they often need a con trolled program to successfully kick the habit, Elder McVay said. SILVER TEA SET The United Church Women of Klamath Falls will meet Friday, March 22, at 1:30 p.m. in Klam ath Lutheran Church. A silver tea will be included with the regu lar business meeting. Conditions Favor Hillel Growth WASHINGTON UI . - Forty years ago, Dr. Edward Chauncev Baldwin was professor of Biblical literature at the University of Illi nois. He was a devout Christian. Many of his students were Jew ish, and Dr. Baldwin was ap palled to discover they knew very little about the Bible the book which grew out of the history of their own people. Dr. Baldwin voiced his concern to Benjamin Frankel, a 23-year- old rabbinical student. Frankel agreed something ought to be done about it. With the Christian professor's help and encourage ment, the young rabbinical stu dent established a campus spir itual center lor Jewish students. He named it in honor of a great Jewish sage, Hillel, who lived about 2.000 years ago. Frankel died four years later, at the age of 27. But he had lived long enough to sell his idea to B'nai B'rith, the Jewish serv ice organization. B'nai B'rith un dertook the establishment of Hillel Foundations at colleges and universities all over the country. Today there are HiUel Founda tions on 244 campuses in every section of the United'States, and similar ones in Europe, Israel, South Africa, Canada and Aus tralia. They are served by the largest staff of rabbis of any Jewish institution in the world. The movement instigated by a Christian professor is still grow ing, according to Dr. William Haber, national chairman of the Hillel Foundations. "In our formative years,'" he said, "we had to overcome the apathy of students. It was a pe riod when youngsters were run aways from their Jewish heritage. answering 'none' to the question of religious affiliation on their college admissions cards. "The academic climate today favors religious identification among students. Jewish young sters, though still sadly informed about their Judaic heritage, are no longer runaways. We now have on file almost 200 applica tions for Hillel units at colleges where we are not yet based." Ministers of the Klamath Fall: Congregation of Jehovah's Wit nesses are completing final plans to attend the "Right Kind of Min ister" Circuit Assembly at the Sis kiyou County Fairgrounds in Yre- ka. Calif., March 22-24.
