SAYS BRONX NEEDS
 MISSIONARIES, TOO
Educator Would Have Church
 Work Begun at Home :,

New York, Nov. 13 UP)-Amer- lean churches, which yearly send small armies of missionaries across the world into Africa and Asia, stand most desperately in need of missionary work in the field which should receive their most concen- trated attention, the heart of the American city.
 This view was expressed by Dr. Lyman P. Powell, educator and lee turer who several years ago under took the ministry of St. Margarets Episcopal church in the borough of the Bronx, New York city.
 "Of the million persons in the Bronx, only 170,0O0 are even nom- inally attached to any fold,' Dr. Powell writes in the current issue of The American Review of Re- views. And with less than 20 per cent of the BronXites religiously affiliated, the onequarter of these habitually attending services brings the total of tn dependably reli- gious down to perhaps 4 per cent, and indisputably makes the Bronx as definitely a missionary field as India's coral strand or Africa 8 sunny fountains"
 What churches must do if they are to hold their ground and pro- gress in the polygot and material 1stic city of today, pr. Powell be- lieves, is to devote less time to abstruse theology and differences of dogma, and to give more atten- ton to making the church an active social agency, a center of neigh borhood life and a welcoming friend for the newcomers who are puzzled where to turn for help with their everyday problems.
 In such regions as the Bronx, to be found in every great American city, the population is largely made up of newcomers from the country, the small town and foreign lands, he points out. These find it diffi- cult to adjust themselves to neigh borless life in small apartments. There are perhaps families repre- senting a, dozen different races in single block, living among the natural racial antiquities which delay social cohesion. The con- sequence. unless the church steps in as a guiding influence, is an in divdualistic, bohemian existence which results in the disintegration of family as we'll as social life.
