the devotions, reading Psalm CX-
LVI, a hymn, and prayer for
peace in the world. She also recit-
ed the poem, "The Master Is Com
ing.
Mrs. Lucille Miller was in char
ge of the program. The lesson to-
pic was 1.-The United Nations, a
good Trustee. She stated that the
U.N. Council is essential for Wor-
Id Peace, and that one of the pur-
poses is to prevent war between
nations. The settling of the Suez
Canal problem is up to the United
Nations.
One of the purposes is the de-
yelopD1ent of friendly relations a
mong nations, based on respect for
the principles of equal rights of
all people.
1t is to try to prevent peace
from being threatened and to re-
store peace when it is broken.
It is trying to discover a means
of directing the resources of in
dustry and the research of science
into peaceful, instead of destruct-
i've channels.
In the ten years of existence of
the United Nations, wonderful ach-
ievements have been accomplish
ed Mentioning only few, which
are: 1t gives an opportunity for
men and women from all over the
world to make their voices heard;
It gives technical assistance and
economic aid to under-develop-
ment of people and conditions in
many countries; 1t worked out a
common language in parts of At
rica where there are so many diff
erent dialects; 1t has trained tea
chers and established schools, pro-
vided literature, started health
centers and baby clinics; wells
have been dug, and the spread of
malaria prevented.
It has fed the hungry and taught
the farmers new methods of rails
ing food.
In world conditions, the U.N.
persuaded Russia to back down in
Iran, it helped to end the shooting
in Indonesia and negotiateds Peace
in Palestine; also cleared the Com
munist armed forces in Korea. 1t
helped in Indonesia to bring her
struggles for independence to a
peaceful and successful conclusion.
1t ended shooting war in Pales-
tine and is keeping peace between
India and Pakistan.
1t is significant that no member
nation has withdrawn from the
UN. It has achieved an Internal
ional community. a family of nat
ions, who can express their public
opinions, and is creating true
spirit of world brotherhood which
is certainly the Christian way.
The United Nations should have
the prayers of every Christian over
the world. If so, it cannot fail.
Mrs. Miller presented very in
teresting and informative program,
Mrs. O'Harra announced that the
next meeting will be December II,
Wednesday evening. at 8 o'clock
