panaion of the United Lutheran Church of America. spoke with spc- cial reference to the various "isms" which have become virtually rival religions"
 The Christian church is so much older and wiser than communism, fascism or any other anti-religious movement" Walker said. Tt has nothing to fear if 1t will keep It's ear to the ground and it's heart attuned to the needs of the great mass of humanity. But. the church must remember the stern, hard les- son of history that institutions which have failed to answer the needs of mankind are cast upon the dump heap sooner or later.
 The church cannot hope to es- cape 4 similar fate, unless it profits by that lesson. It will do no good to dcnounce communism and atheism and stop al that. Unless the church can prove to mankind that 1t has a real genuine concern for mankind and can put that proof into terms that mankind can understand, the dump heap is the ultimate resting place for our glorious religion"

Such event would be of astounding mpor tance in remote section where people unused to exciting events and live happily from day to day enjoying just everyday happenings But the unyeling was some- thing quite different and doubt will be talked of for years to The statue is made of the native granite.
