The Week in Religion
By Religious News Service

NeU9i0uS 'NS"S Se''
The young people Of Americas
churches have been taking the
spotlight away from their elders
In recent weeks.
From Boston to San Francisco.
thousands of Christian youth
have flocked enthusiastically to
the conventions that guide the
year-round work of the various
young peoples church organiza-
tionS.
Young minds have been busy
with many problems facing the
modern Christian. But in vir-
tually all cases the youth groups
have stressed some aspect OF
service to God and Christianity.
At Boston,. 5000 young dele
gates gathered at the 18th BIZ
ennial International Conference
Of the AuguStana Luther League
to inspire young Lutherans to
give their lives to their church,
either as pastors, missionaries
or parish workers.
DR.. Wilton E. BergStrand, the
leagues youth director, told the
young people freedom is not free.
but must be worked for selflessly
throughout life.
He urged them "to know the
shining glory of giving yourself
without counting the cost in a
world that exists primarily to
get"
Bishop Hams Lille of Hanover,
Germany, president of the Lu-
theran World Federation. was an
honored guest at the conference.
He called for a spiritual re-
newal which will touch not just
q few but all those in authority
and positions of responsibility"
Fight Delinquency.
Delegates to the 42d biennial
convention Of the international
Society of Christian Endeavor
concerned themselves with,
among other things, the prob
lens Of juvenile delinquency and
vandalism.
The convention outlined a pro-
gram under which young church
members would employ personal
evangelism to help curb these
evils.
The $500 young Protestants
also recommended passage of
new legislation to eliminate what
they termed the evils of alco-
holic beverages and drugs.
At Moorhead, Mimi, last week,
young people took part in what
may have been the largest Holy
Communion service in the his
tory Of Lutheranism in this
country.
The sacrament was admin
istered to 5000 delegates to the
convention of the International
Young Peoples Luther League of
the Evangelical Lutheran Church
in the new fieldhouse of Con-
cordia College.
Bishop Lille, who also spoke at
the Moorhead meeting, told the
young Lutherans he had been
amazed at how we'll some Amer
lean leaders had graSped the
historical responsibility" on the
shoulders of the United States
today.
But the Bishop, who called
America mature" not adoles-
cent, said Europe needed from
the United States more under
standing. less political preju-
dice, less iSolationiSm, an end to
vague fears and firm action in
international political moves.

their Pan-American Youth Con-
gress at San Francisco.

Chinese Prisoners Reject 49,
Communists Pleas To Return Home

IAlNNO1SJONl, df-DdlhlllS SIl1-
nese prisoners dealt the Commu-
nists singing propaganda blow
Thursday by rejecting 49-1 the
first Red attempts to coax them
home.
All but 10 of 500 Chinese who
met Communist interviewers in
the first clamorous explanation
sessions chose continued captivity
over repatriation to Red China,
said the Neutral Nations Repatria-
ton Commission.
The Reds had claimed the
22,4OO unrepatriated Chinese and
North Koreans were being held
against their will.
The long-delayed psychological
phase of the armistice began only
after Indian custodian troops
pried the wildly demonstrating
Chinese from their compounds
with threats of force. The Indian
commander said later, eve used
patience, persuasion and firm
ness"
Many POWs shouted and sang
in the faces of the three-man Red
interview teams. Indian guards
with stocks had to restrain them.
One POW danced defiantly on the
wooded tent floor.
At first, the MIRO forced the
prisoners to listen to the explain
atoms for five minutes, but this
was cut to one minute after a
U.N. representative protested.
The explanations reminded them
of their homes and family and
told them Gather Mao Cred Chi

Many POWs replied with OBJ
scenities.
Then, except for the 10, they
chose to leave by a door which
meant continued captivity until
their fate is decided by the i'm
pending political conference or
they are released Jan. %.
The ten who chose the door to
Communism were returned to the
Reds Thursday night in a cere-
mony at Panmunjom.
One American observer w. D.
Stout, formerly of Knoxville,
Tenn, was ordered out of the ex-
PLANTATION center by the NNRC af-
ter he protested repeatedly that
he was seated out Of sight of the
prisoners. The protest was over
ruled.
