seaport. Individuals are contribut-
ing calves, feed, care, shelter and
cash to finance the project. Four
H club members help raise calves;
city churches assist financially and
rural groups furnish feed, care and
shelter. Slogan of the project is
Zone good COW will save the lives
of 10 or more babies
More than one billion persons
more than three-fifths of the hui
man race-cannot read or write.
And because they cannot, they are
easy prey to superstition, igno-
rance and exploitation. Educators,
clergymen and statesmen i k e
agree that if the world is to be
made safe for human existence,
these people and h i r children
must be taught to read. And it
is to this task that DR.. Frank c.
Laubach, formerly an educational
missionary in the Philippines and
now serving the International Mis-
sionary Council, is dedicating the
remainder of his life. GAS soon
as they learn to read simple pho
netics," says DR.. Laubach, eve
place in their hands papers and
tracts with short sentences, easy
words they always have spoken,
large type, telling them the an
swers to their deepest needs; about
saving the lives of their babies,
about malaria, blindness, intesti-
nal diseases, sanitation, about
cooking and selecting foods o r
health, about selecting seeds, de-
stroying enemies to their animals
and vegetables, about getting out
of debt and keeping the laws, and
about the principles of Christ
Under the direction of DIR. j. M.
Ormond, of the Divinity School of
Duke university, SO ministers-to-be
will spend 10 weeks each this sum-
mer as assistant pastors of rural
Methodist churches throughout the
state of North Carolina. In addi-
ton, the Duke Endowment, which
directs this service, will provide
funds to assist in the building of
rural Methodist church buildings
in various communities where the
population is less than $500 peo-
pie. These young theologs will di-
rect vacation church schools, car
AVIAN institutes, training courses,
evangelistic gatherings, recrea-
tional programs, community WISH
tation, etc. The Duke Endowment
has been serving North Carolina
with such programs of men and
buildings for Is years.
For a world growing sadder
under the impact of man made
death-for the multitudes of homes
into which the presence of deep
sorrow Christianity alone
has a word profound enough to
penetrate the gloom with the light
of hope" says DR.. Robert w.
Searle, of New York City. ITO the
question, If a man dies will he
live again?' it answers with deep
conviction, Yes For the gladder
world the world that begins to
see the edge of the dark storm
clouds of war once more Chris
tianity has the particular truth that
must be spoken. If it speaks in
tenderness to sorrow, it must
speak in firmness to that gladder
world the warning that unless wit
the end of this war we build
new world of brotherhood our sAls
will have died in vain and their
sons will be called out into some
future carnage"
