In Race with Islam:
Possibility Remote

BY Enoc p. Waters

Chicago (ANP) - There L. q
remote possibility that the rest
less husband with a rowing eye for
the feminine beauty which sur
rounds him outside his home might
find Christian sanction Of his poly
gamous tendencies.
The highly controversial subject
Of polygamous marriages was re-
vived as a result Of a resolution
adopted by the recent An-Africa
Christian Youth Assembly which
met In Nairobi, Kenya.
In a stirring speech in support
Of a suggestion that the Christian
church condone polygamy, Pastor
Jean Kotto declared Christians
who are polygamists in secret re-
ceive Holy Communion, yet we
refuse Baptism to sincere men who
live openly with several wives" He
added that the time was at hand
when Christians face up to the fact
that Africa Is traditionally poly.
gamous.
The assembly then overwhelm-
ingly backed up the suggestion and
In q closing message said that the
structure Of the church In African
should correspond to the needs OF
the present and the aspirations of
the African personality.
Behind this unusual position In
the deep rooted and intense COM
petition between Islam and Christi
anity to capture Africa. Christian
missionaries have conceded that
they have been handicapped In
their drive because the Muslin
faith does not frown, as does the
Christian church, upon a man talk
ing moro than one mate.
Christianity Is tagging behind
Islam on the continent, despite the
fact that Christianity has done
much more in the field Of social
welfare for the Africans than has
the Muslin church.
While there are several reasons
for the Africans preference for
Islam, the one that keeps cropping
up to annoy Christian missionaries
is the question of polygamy.
Some stauch advocate of plural
marriage feel that the Christian
faith must make some concessions
if it hopes to achieve its aims In
Africa.
Should Christianity surrender to
African pressure, it is inconceiv.
able that sanction of polygamy
could be restricted to the areas
where the church has found it q
matter of profitable expediency.
This would mean, then, that the
Christian church in the United
States and other homogeneous
countries would be in conflict with
civil laws enacted at the instiga-
ton of the church banning plural
marriages.
Then the husbands with the rov.
ing eyes could translate Their
clandestine romances into church
approved marriages. OF course
cynics have pointed out and per.
haps with great accuracy, that ap-
proval of polygamous marriages
might kill more extra-marital 70.
mances than it would resolve into
marriage.
At this point all such specula,
ton is purely academic, because
even optimists agree that it will
be a long time - if ever - that
Christianity confers its blessing
upon the man who has more thar
Eone wife.

With more than 100 witness

terest on the part of Smyrnians
generally. sudden ending came
to the B.F. VanWinkle homi-
eide case In Kent Count Court
last Thursday afternoon. Van
Winkle, as previously stated,
was indicted In the second de-
gree for the murder of Aaron
Reynolds, Jr., on the night of
November the 9th, the day be-
fore Thanksgiving. The trial
began Tuesday, and Thursday
afternoon just after Court had
reconvened to hear more eN-
dence on the part of the de-
fense, the Bottom dropped out"
of the whole proceedings when
Attorney General Wolcott stated
to said court he was ready to
either ask for a nolle PROSE- or
urge a verdict of mot guilty."
The court In reply stated that
they thought the states action
was a most sensible one and
that they felt themselves that
VanWinkle could notpos sibly be
charged with any crime under
the circumstances. Counsel for
VanWinkle at once moved for a
verdict of mot guilty" which
the jury rendered before they
left the box. The Witnesses
for the state had been heard
the day before and the defense
was producing their testimony
on Thursday. The witnesses re-
siding on Market street had
been telling what they had heard
and seen on the night of the
killing of Aaron Reynolds Jr.
At the reconvening of the court
Thursday afternoon, Attorney
General Wolcott, after confer
ence with Aaron Reynolds, Sr.,
the father of the deceased, and
members of his family, got up
before Court and made a state
ment that from the progress of
the case, which showed that a
verdict of guilty could not be
expected from the evidence be-
ing produced on the witness
stand by the defense, that he
would either ask for a nolle
PROSE- or a verdict of not
guilty. The court sanctioned
the course and the case ended
as above mentioned.
