The Christian
Church
BY Rev. Marsall L. Shepard
For the NNPA News Service

The most significant factor in
the annual report of DR.. c. G.
Adams, secretary of the Foreign
Mission Board of the National Bap-
tist Convention of America, Inc,
is that the secretary can point
with pride to the results of his
program of self help.
DR.. Adams, who has become
leading authority in the field of
foreign missions in the American
Council of Churches, has developed
the idea of encouraging the peo-
pie served by the foreign mission
Boards to take an increased reSpon-
sibility for their own welfare work
He has felt that the best service
is TO help people to help them
selves and to take full advantage
o1 whatever opportunities are at
the r doors.
During the ten years that Dr..
Adams has directed the work of
the l'oreign Mission Board for the
Matt nal Baptist Convention, he
has pushed this program firmly,
patiently, but with great faith
Small fees were charged for
services in schools, hospitals, and
training centers, based upon the
ability to pay. Farm produce, rub
Der and other raw materials were
developed for market.
This program has grown steadily
and has resulted in improved
morale and self confidence and
more than $4,000 have been col
lected this past year from these
sources.
The increased income has en-
abled the board to expand its Afri-
can work and reach out to other
fields of need in the Bahamas,
China, Okinawa, and Japan.

Meekness May Be
Carried Too Far,
Writer Observes
BY IchabOd Crane

New YORK City - GIODdl -
Please don't get mad, Reverend,
but don't you think that phrase,
". and the meek shall inherit
the earth" is bit exaggerated? :?
I've been trying to get along
with those folks for over 300 years.
A couple of hundred years of that
time, while they were busy think
ing up things that they didn't
want to do and wanted some poor
fool like me to sweat and groan
over, they put chain on my leg
TO show how much they wanted me
as house guest. If I got tired
of the hospitality, they persuaded
me to stay by batting couple
of lashes at me = leather lashes.
All the time, I just grit my
teeth and grinned. I was meek.
Grew Conscience-Stricke
Some of 'em dug around some
where and found their consciences
that had been previously either
buried in their thick hides or
their fat heads. They polished off
the tubes a little and right off
these consciences started broad
casting so loud that somehow
amendments began to be tackled
onto the Constitution right and
left.
Those big-bellied, flap-jawed
guys down in Washington call
these amendments our Civil Rights.
Well, Reverend, I accepted 'em
as our due. After all, every dog
wants a bone now and then, so he
won't have the strength nor the
inclination to bark.
Even when they didn't act so
civil about our rights, I was meek.
1 figured they were salty because
| it looked like some day I might
be able to get almost as much pay
as they did when I only did twice
as much work.
Tried To Be Regular"
When 1 saw places where every
person should be left alone with
signs saying this is for white ladies
or gents and that is for colored,
l got so I just shrugged and made
the best of it = being a regular
fellow.
Lately, sir, I have beguns to
wonder about this humble pie I've
been chopping on all these years.
If they don't want you to sit
! next to them, well, l en- sort of
understand. / haven't been given
many white collar jobs and this
red clay, coal dust, or She polish
might rub off on them.
I can understand, a little, why
they hold back on opening wide
those school doors for me. I'd
probably just get neurotic and
confused when I'm able to study
and count how much and how long
I've been short-changed.
Thinks It's Gone Too Far
But, Rev., when they try to
throw a guy in the clink for two
years because a woman screamed
that he attempted to rape her, even
after this same woman later ad-
mits he only looked at her from
IS feet away, l think that's going
| too far.
Nineteen-year-olds are supposed
to be looked at. 1t gives them con-
| fidence in themselves = and not
in just Jim Crow, Rev. It gives
,, 'em poise.
If fellows going to be Jailed
not for saying or doing, but for
reckless eyeballin', that's going too
far.
How long will it be before it'll
be illegal for us to stop and get
free air?
This meek ought to inherit the
earth = they amt nothing but
dirt now.

Suns Heat Has Increased
lin 20 Years, Smithsonian Told

dimensions of one cubic cent?
meter. It is assumed that this
cube is at the outer edge Of the
earth's atmosphere.
The Montezuna measurements
are the most accurate available,
according to the report of L. B.
Aldrich, director of the Astrophy-
sical Observatory.
While the actual increment may
seem small. in light of the enorm-
GUS amount of solar radiation
falling on the earth, it means
enough extra heat to have affected
climate to an observable degree.
During the same period, it was
pointed out in the report, other
evidence has accumulated of
climatic change in various locali-
ties over the earth. On the whole,
these changes indicate that the
average temperatures have in
creased somewhat over the past
centuries. with an accelerated In
crease in the recent past.
About 793. 300 objects and speci-
mems have been added to the
Smithsonian collections during
the past year, the Board of
Regents was told. This is about
400, 900 more than last year.

The suns heat, as 1t can be de-
tected on the earth, has increased
a fourth of one per cent during
the last 20 years.
This was reported to the Board
of Regents of the Smithsonian
Institution at their annual meet
ing today by DR.. Alexander Wet
more, secretary of the institution.
This finding comes from the
analysis Of more than 10000 de-
terminations of the solar constant
at the Srnithsonians astrophysical
observatory on the summit of Mt.
Montezuma, Chile.
The solar constant is the
amount of heat falling during one

 At the Experiment Station, they talked to the agronomist, H. J. Hodgson, and the horticultur- ist, Dr. Myron F. Babb. Both of the local men weer given address ses of men in their field working on problems similar to their own in Norway.

CONSERVATION
 NOTES
By LEW HENKS

have just received word that
 H. H. Bennett, Chief of the Soil Conservation Service has retired.
 Dr. Robert Nj. Salter of Wash
 ington, D. C. will succeed him. | don't know much about Dr. Sal
 ter understand though he is one
 of the top men in the country in the field of soil science. Seeing as how he is my new boss I wish him the best of luck. He's got 70 be a pretty good man though to fill the old Chiefs shoes. Dr. Bennett really got around. He started out as a lonesome voice crying in the wilderness against soil erosion. He ended up as di- recting influence on one of the most widespread movements that has ever affected American agrI- culture.
 Thirty years ago soil conserva- tion was word unknown to Am erican farmers. Land wore out then. Land had been wearing out ever since people had started farming in United States. Now we know that land doesn't have to wear out in order that man make a living by farming. Now we know that farmers working together in their own Soil Con- servation Districts can stop ero- sion. They can leave their farms to their children the better for their having farmed them. Ben nett can take a lot of credit for this. He, more than any other man, has made this country con- servation conscious. Over 2,000 Soil Conservation Districts and 3 farmers practicing conser- vation are largely a result of his efforts. I'd say he has done a good job.

Ward Harrington, formerly ae- countant for MVFCA. returned 10 Palmer last Friday from Pittsburg after being away for six years.
 That's a long time to be away from Alaska. and he and Mrs Harrington were eager to come back. After making the return trip over the Alaskan Highway, Harrington left his wife and chil- dren with relatives in Fairbanks while he flew to Palmer to look over the prospects of settling here again.
 He said he found many changes in Palmer, but it looked fine to him and he was happy to be back.
