The division of the wards was deemed necessary when the membership became too large to carry out the work effectively. Doctor Reports Natives Worship Money, Power By ROIIKRT M. ANDREWS United Press International Missionaries in Africa once fought to lead natives out of the jungle of superstition and pag an ritual. Now, it seems, the notion of the "white man's ma gic" has backfired and the mis sionaries are fighting new Afri can gods of money and power. So reports Dr. L. Harold De Wolf, professor of systemtic tlicology at Boston University. He recently returned from a l.l.OUO-mile lour of central Afri ca for tlie World Council of Churches. Since his last previous (rip to Africa In IBM, Dr. DeWolf re ports, tltoro has been an alarm ing shift toward selfishness and materialism among Africans. This threatens not only the missionary effort but responsi ble government in newly inde pendent, nations, he says. The theologian attributes this new feeling to increasing indus trialization and urbanization. First Rraotkin Astonishment "More and more Africans, many of whom hal never seen so much as a wliecl before, were suddenly exposed to the miracles of an industrial econ omy, such as skyscrapers, planes, (rains and automo biles." Dr. DeWolf explained in a report. Their first reaction was a sort of Alico-ln-wontierland as tonishment and a belief in the powers of tlie white man. This belief certainly did n o t stunt the growth of missions. Dr. De Wolf notes. "At (irs(, (he Africans associ ated all (liese wonders w ith ad herence to Christianity." lie FOOD FOR 'They that wait upon the Lord shall . . . walk and faint not."

"They thought that con version to tlie white man's re ligion would bring an instant shower of material wealth." Inevitably, disillusionment set in. "Many of (he Africans began In see that not only did Christianity guarantee in stant affluence and power, but that many who believed1 in no god at all made out quite well, by good luck or hard work," said Dr. DeWolf. Improve Ministers F.ducntkm "Now, instead of tlie earlier throat of the primitive religions, ironically, the missionary movement has to contend with sclfisliness and materialism born of exposure to a civilized society." Community leaders are more often now to be better educat ed and better paid teachers in stead of ministers, he reported. Tlie frequent lack of responsi ble leadership has left tlie peo ple more vulnerable to demago gic appeals by "reckless adven turers" among African poli(i rians, lie said. One of tlie churches' solu tions. Dr. DeWolf suggested, would lie to improve the educa tion of future ministers, includ ing social studies and philoso phy courses to help tliem un derstand "what, in addition to brains and money, goes into making a strong society."

TU 4-7061 THOUGHT The organization of one of the largest churches in Klamath Falls, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was officially revamped on Nov. 3 to carry out the work more effec tively. On that date, tlie division of the First and Second Wards to create a Third Ward was com pleted. Each ward now has ap proximately 430 to 450 members. The seemingly complicated reorganization process was ac complished by placing some ISO members of the First Ward into the Second Ward, with around 3110 members of the Second Ward remaining stationary. The balance of the Second Ward membership then became known as the Third Ward. Residential boundaries determine the ward to which members belong. Tlie bishops of the church were also shifted by the divi sion. Bishop David J. Davis, for merly head of the First Ward, is now with tlie Second Ward; and Bishop George Shaffer Jr. of the Second Ward has taken over the leadership of tlie new Third Ward. Jack C. Morgan, a coun selor to Bishop Davis for the past two years, was appointed bishop of the First Ward. For the present time, all three wards will use the church building on Home and Martin by alternating schedules. Future plans include constructing a new ward meeting hall, large enough to serve as a Stake House for quarterly conferences of the Klamath Stake. One ward would then move to the new building, and two would continue to meet in the present church structure, which was erected after World War ft and later enlarged. Appointed by Uie First Presi dency of the LDS Church, Salt Lake City, on the recommen dation of tlie Stake President and sustained in his office by tlie local membership. Bishop Morgan will perform the duties of his office for an indefinite time. Other church personnel affect ed by tlie division include tlie teachers and officers. In most instances tliey are still holding their former positions, but it has been necessary to call many new persons to service. Named to work closely with Bishop Morgan are Kurt V. Fie dler, First Counselor; Gordon M. Hicks, Second Counselor; and David Jenison. Ward Clerk. Tliese ward leaders were select- Rev. Q.
