Question: I'VE hear refer
ences in sermons and in news
paper articles to the 'Ecumen-
ical Movement Please tell me
,5ust what this movement is
and how it got started"
Answer: The Ecumenical
Movement in Christendom is a
movement which is represented
,visibly by the World Council OF
Churches together with ma
fional, state and local councils
of churches in this country and
abroad.
But the word ecumenical is
far older than these councils
(which are products of this
century. The word "ecumeni-
scal" is based on the Greek
word, "oekoumene" which
means literally. the whole in
habited world" In other words,
pit is a worldwide idea of the
Christian church.
The World Council of
Churches is a product of a
m1ovement started in 1910 when
Fhe first World Missionary
Eonference met in Edinburgh,
Scotland. Then there were
meetings such as the Life and
Work" conferences at Stock
holm in 1925 and Oxford in
1887. Others took place in
Switzerland, the Netherlands,
Palestine and India.
Finally in 1948 the World
Council of Churches was Off
ICially organized at Amsterdam.
Meanwhile, the regional groups
were we'll on their way. The old
Federal Council of Churches in
1850 Joined hands with other
interchurch groups in this
country to form the National
Council of the Churches of
Christ. The Ecumenical Move

Gus branches of the Christian
faith into closer working har-

Anglican. Eastern Orthodox
and some other Christian
bodies.
Question: please tell me II
blood TRANSMISSION is forbidden
by the Bible. In one place it
says not to take blood in any
manner"
Answer: The Old Testament
Scriptures on which the Jewish
moral code is based, forbid con-
Stunning the blood of animals
with food. The Jehovah's Wit
nesses have held the position
that this also prevents blood
TRANSMISSION. This belief, how
ever, is not held by other Jews
and Christians who believe
that the medical use of blood
transfuSions is not affected,
nor denied by anything in the
Bible.
Question: please tell me
through your column what the
initials on the cross mean"
Answer: You probably refer
to the initials his. This is a
Latin form of the first three
Greek letters of the word which
means Jesus in Latin. In Greek
the H is equivalent to a short
E. In other words, the full
name would be IHSUS.

Windows" TO Better Reading

Then 60 back, start reading, and see how
much this helps you to acquire the phrase
reading habit.
q. Write down a column of simple
three-word phrases. Place card so that it
covers the top one and draw it smoothly and
rapidly down the column. Let your eyes
fxate only once on each phrase as it is
uncovered.
These five exercises, if you practice them
consistently, should soon have you reading
in phrases naturally, which will automati-
cally increase your speed with no loss of
comprehension or enjoyment. Keep the

periodically. Part of the fun of becoming

that you are already seeing more than single
words. So let's talk once more about the
exercises which will broaden your vision so
that you naturally take in more words at
each 6xatiOn.
There are five drills which give students
to help them widen their visual span. You
can practice these anywhere:
&. Without actually trying to read,
swing your eyes back and forth across the
lines of your newspaper and continue down
the column in this way. Try to make just
two ixations on each line.
z. When you start reading line, try
to focus your eyes on the second rather than
the first word. Hold your eyes right there
and see if you can read the first and third
words at the same time. Practice until you
can. Then jump to the fifth word and while
you focus on it catch the fourth and sixth.
Keep this up through paragraph or two.
.. Instead of fixing your eyes exactly
on the line of type, focus them just above
it. This causes separate phrases to hang
together so that you unite them more easily.
q. Till you get the swing of phrase
reading, try circling with pencil the units
of meaning in each line of newspaper story.
