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

Inevitably, disillusionment set

"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

ed and better paid teachers in

Tlie frequent lack of responsi

One of tlie churches' solu

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.
