Ingve Brilioth of Sweden was award

Women ministers"
The German Lutheran Church
this week took a significant step to
prevent the further weakening of its
structure. The branch of the church
in the state of Wurttemberg decreed
that women will be permitted to per-
form various types of ministerial
duties for the duration of the war.
These would include preaching, con-
Quoting worship services and ad-
ministering baptism.
The action Is believed to be with
out precedent in the annals of the
German church. 1t results from the
shortage of clergymen, large per-
centage of whom have been drafted
for military service, imprisoned, or
otherwise deprived Of their pulpits.
The action also indicates that in
Wurttemberg, at least, there is also
shortage of laymen.
In other parts of Germany, lay
men have been filling pulpits and
performing parish duties wherever
churches are without pastors.
Plan Church Federation.
Plans for proposed North Amer
lean Council of the Churches Of
Christ will be considered in Cleve-
land next week when seven major
interdenominational agencies, rep
resenting some so different denomi-
nations, meet in joint session. 1t
will be the most representative gath
ering of ProteStants ever held in this
country.
Five of the agencies will hold their
regular national conventions. These
are: The Federal Council of
Churches, the Foreign Missions Con-
ference of North America, the Home
Missions Council of North America,
the United Council of Church Wom-
en-, and the United Stewardship
Council.
The remaining agencies-the In
ternational Council of Religious
Education, and the Missionary Edu-
cation Movement-While not in reg
ular session, will conduct special
group meetings before and after the
joint gatherings.
Creation of a North American
church council will be recommended
in report prepared by Committee
on the Closer Relationships OF Gen.
eral Observation-Disclosures Agencies.
The plan involves the merger of the
Federal Council of Churches and
seven other bodies which represent
the principal education, missionary,
women's and fund-raising inter-
ests of the Protestant churches of
the United States.
The new body would potentially
be the most influential church fed
Grafton in the world, with a total
constituency of about 28,500, 900
churchgoers. The merger would not
affect the autonomy of individual
denominations.
Although the plan is expected to
be adopted at the Cleveland con-
ventions it cannot be put into effect
before 1945. 1t must be voted upon

She has a complete set of false

Because of a mineral deficiency,
Rosemary's upper teeth decayed as
fast as they erupted. On advice of
a physician, her upper teeth were
extracted and the diet deficiency
was corrected.
No false teeth stocked by manu-
facturers were small enough for
Rosemary's mouth, so DR.. Normand

Pay for Workers
ATTENDING Church
| Asked by Paper

RICHMOND, Va, May 22-De-
claring a New York war plant is
reported to be paying its workers
for attending church." the Virginia
Methodist Advocate suggests editori-
ally in the current issue that min
isteral groups in defense areas
consider the possibility Of urging
plant officials to adopt similar
scheme.
The church paper says the New
York factory has arranged its
schedule so workers engaged in the
manufacture of mine-sweeping
equipment may attend the Sunday
morning service on company time.
Shifting Of homes, irregular work
hours, crowded conditions and
other factors have combined to
keep many defense workers in Vir-
ginia away from church, the Ad-
vocate says. adding that the New
York plants arrangement might be
the answer to the problem.
