Church Assembly Opens Sunday “Christ -- The Hope Of The World” Is Theme By GEORGE W. CORNELL EVANSTON, Ill. W—One of hu- Manity’s oldest riddles—whether man’s first duty is to the here or the hereafter—today poses a sharpened question for churches around the globe. It is being preached on, studied, argued over, read about, analyzed and interpreted. It is being discussed in Sunday schools and meetings and dealt with in scholarly papers and mil- lions of words in the religious press. “If the churches can speak on this with one mind, it is possible for them to bring guidance—and genuine hope—to a bewildered and menaced world,” said Bishop J. Waskom Pickett, head of India’s Methodist Church. Couched in the phrase, “Christ —the hope of the world,” the ques- tion is the theme of the two-week Assembly of the World Council of Churches, opening here Sunday. “The theme has stirred a great- er response than anything in the World Council’s brief history,” said the Rev. Robert S. Bilheimer, the council’s associate general sec- retary. At the heart of the question is whether Christians can hopefully fight for justice and goodness in this world, or whether those goals are deemed attainable only in a Kingdom of God to come. The scriptures abound with hints of the mystery: “For now we see as through a glass darkly.” “But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.” “There are principles and -stan- dards for human cociety, rooted in God’s everlasting will, for whicn men can work,” said Dr. G. K. A. Bell, Britain’s Bishop of Chi- chester and chairman of the coun- cil’s Central Committee. “But beyond man’s greadest achievements or even his dreams is the Kingdom—a new creation, a new world.” The theme involves complicated nuances of “eschatology” — the “end of all things’—and to what extent Christian ends can be gained in human affairs, this side of heaven, Because of the subject’s com- plexity and the age-old wrangling over it, there have been wide fore- bodings that it might deal the churches a sharp setback in their quest for a more united front. Until recently, churches seemed split geographically about the crux of Christian hope—with trouble- buffeted Europeans eyeing a “‘fu- ture kingdom” and “activist” Am- ericans confidently scraping to set the present in order. “But a lot has happened to Amer- ican thinking,” said Dr, Samuel STARE = ae tHree Horers IN MIPAMI 2 oPurar prices pk cian atoll psa ichrimaalaaltiadat Located in the ” REASONABLE RATES ROOMS Heart of the City WRITE or WIRE for RESERVATIONS with BATH and TELEPHONE Ritz HOTEL 132 E.

They have cross-fertilized each other.” Three years of conferences in preparation for the world assem- bly have contributed to a growing accord about the ultimate Chris- tian hopes—and worldly aims. “Out hope is anchored in a king- dom that both has come and is com- ing,” said a 32-member council advisory commission, including such famed scholars and theolo- gians as Neibuhr, Europe’s Karl Barth and poet T. S. Eliot. “If the church is to find com- plete fulfillment, and if earthly existence is to be saved from meaninglessness,” their final re- Port says, “‘we must look not oniy to the course of earthly history itself, but beyond it.” Tax Cuts For Farmers Are Bigser Now By CHARLES F. BARRETT WASHINGTON (#—A farmer can now get a tax cut by building himself a pond. ... or digging a ditch. This is one of the special effects of the huge tax revision law. In passing out scores of tax benefits, Congress didn’t forget the farmer in this congressional election year. The law permits a farmer to de- duct from his income, on tax re- turns, many outlays for soil or water conservation. Even at the minimum 20 per cent tax rate, each $100 in new deductions means a tax cut, of $20. The deductions for that purpose are limited in any one year to 25 per cent of the taxpayer’s gross income from farming. Note that if you have income aside from farming, you can’t deduct 25 per cent of your total income. Ié you spend more than 25 per cent of your farm income for soil or water conservation in any one year, you can carry forward the amount over 25 per cent and de- duct it on your return the next year. You can keep on carrying these expenditures forward as many years as needed to get your full deduction—but you still can’t deduct more than 25 per cent of farm income in any one year. Soil and water conservation ex- penses involve moving or treating dirt. They can include such things as leveling, grading, terracing, contour furrowing, construction of diversion channels, drainage ditch- es, controlling and protecting wa- tercourses, ponds, earthen dams, elimination of brush or planting of windbreaks. In the past, expenditures for most of these things generally have been added for tax purposes to the original cost of the land. Usually no deduction was allowed for them unless the land was sold. Then they could be counted in figuring whether you made a prof- it on the sale. Experts believe a half million farmers will claim new deductions under the new law. They figure the farmers will get tax cuts amounting to 10 million dollars. The revenue loss would be greater, except many farmers already pay little or no income tax. Aside from his personal expendi- tures, the law permits a farmer to deduct special assessments by soil and water conservation dis- tricts if they are spent for pur- poses which would be deductible on the farmer’s individual retunr. A farmer can deduct expenses starting last Jan. 1. But he must decide, .in the first year he pays for such things, whether he wants to deduct them or still follow the old law. Once he reports his de- cision, he can’t change his method without permission from the Rev- enue Service. Another tax benefit for farmers in the new law provides that pro- ceeds from sale or exchange of diseased livestock are not taxed \if they are reinvested in livestock | within one year. Farmers also pay no tax on proceeds from sale of land neces- sary to meet acreage limitations under reclamation laws, provided they invest the proceeds into more land—presumably in another rec- jlamation or irrigation district.

The occasion will be the Inter- national Congress of Folklore, and the seventh International Confer- ence of Folk Music, to be held in conjunction here beginning Aug. 16. Delegates from 24 nations are scheduled to attend the two meet- ings, which will be a part of Sao Paulo’s fourth centennial celebra- tion. Beside the formal study sessions of the congress and the conference, special exhibitions of folk dancing and folk arts are planned. The organizers as yet are un- certain just what the foreign del- egations will offer. But from Brazil proper there will be schools of samba, and “capoeristas” from Bahia. The last are especially trained men who stage a dance- fight to the music of the berimbau, reco-reco and tambourine. It was .| brought to Brazil by slaves from Angola, Africa. Among the congress themes are folkiore and basic education; folk- lore music and popular music; comparative folklore; and inter- national relations between folk- lorists and folklore groups. The conference will study the migration and changes of European musical folklore; characteristics of folk- lore in South America; the defi- nition of folklore music and its preservation; and the mutual in- fluence of folklore music and ar- tistic music. Prof. Ralph S. Boggs of the University of Miami will represent the United States. Lady Constable WEST GREENWICH, R. I.
