FEES SERERER ee 7 MIAMI (#—A church leader says that the rise of nationalism in the Orient is forcing the various Protestant mission efforts to unite into one national church. Dr. Virgil A. Sly of Indianapolis, chairman of the Division of For- eign Missions of the Disciples of Christ, said he will recommend similar action to his board of man- ers. aehe board is meeting here prior to the International Convention of Disciples of Christ which opens Monday. Dr. Sly, who flew here from Tokyo after a two months tour of the Orient, said Orientals have a tendency to identify with the West and this is making the missionary’s job harder in the face of rising nationalism. Half the churches of Japan, in- cluding those of eight denomina- tions, have joined in forming the United Church of Japan, he re- ported. Disciples of Christ are among them. Dr. Sly said he will ask the denomination to do away with its own missionary administrative staff in Japan and put representa- tives on the staff of the United Church movement. A similar movement has been etarted in the Philippines and the denomination will be asked to jon the cooperative effort there, he added. Dr. Sly said he expects similar Protestant cooperative movements soon will be established in India, Thailand, Mexico, Jamaica and Puerto Rico and he predicted that eventually all foreign missions will be operated on a cooperative basis with one national Protestant church in each country. Dr. Sly reported finding consider- able Communism in Japan a students and the educated class but not among the masses. But the shaky economic conditions result. * from lack of necessary trade .

KEY WEST CITIZEN Saturday, October 23, 1954 A Bible Words for Today - PSALM 19:12 ‘Who can discern the error of his ways? Cleanse thou me from secret faults.” The 19th Psalm is one of reflection upon the inner life. The Psalmist having spoken his praise of the world as a theatre for the display of divine glory, and paid his tribute to the inspired Scriptures, now tums his eye upon the inward life of his soul to offer the prayer: ‘‘Who can discern the error of his ways? Cleanse thou me from secret; faults.’”” He has found God in nature, God in Scripture, and he has found God in his own heart. \ The Psalmist here is hidden from the eyes of not concerned with sins men, but rather the sins hidden from his own eyes. Down below the conscious realm of life is a great dim region of unconscious habits, impulses, emotions, and evils. We overlook our own sin, can never unravel its deceitfulness, or picture its inward folly. Only God can discern the secret error of our ways and grant us cleansing. Dr. Frederick H. Olert Second Presbyterian Church Richmond, Va. Rev.

Thus progress will finally destroy all error, and bring immortality to light.” From the Bible the following | selections will be read (Philipians 3:13, 14): “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching things which are Garner up pleasant thoughts in your mind, for pleasant thoughts make pleasant lives. —John Wilkins. Sugar cane is grown in areas as Baha’is Will Mark United Nations Day Plans for the Tecognition of Unit- ed Nations Day have been made by the Key West Baha'is. Accord- ing to Mrs. Ethel Crane, secretary of the local group, the theme of the Baha'i observance will be that the real unity of the human race and of the nations must be based upon be universal recognition of. one In enlarging on this theme, Mrs. Crane said, “It is in the realm of revealed religion that we must look for the assurance of unity and co- operation among the nations and Peoples. “Every ancient prophet foretold the coming victory of righteousness and the gathering of the hosts of the earth into one peaceful com- munity. New Teachings “The proclamation of our age as destined time for this supreme ex- pression of the divine truth, is the new and challenging teaching of- fered men by the Baha'i Faith. Revering all the prophets, these teachings emphasize man’s latent spiritual capacity and the essential unity of revelation. “Tn one hundred years the Baha’i teachings have spread into more than 230 countries and territorial divisions of East and West. Their power comes from the spirit of uni- ty with which they are imbued. Baha‘i Faith “To this end, the call of the Baha’i Faith is primarily directed against all forms of provincialism, isolation and prejudice. Its mess- age applies not only to the individ- ual, but concerns itself primarily with those relationships that must bind all nations in a World Order as members of one human family. “The Baha’i World Faith upholds the principle of world order, and its representatives are qualified by the United Nations as delegates to non-governmental conferences held in various parts of the world,” You'll Be Mediecmne At Church | Laymen Will Be In Charge Of "MISSIONARIES TO SPEAK—R Tidings Tabernacle.
