The Federated Church of

members and efinstituonts in thi
community, bu: it all >

end to millions f p epic ia
South America. Eur At
Asia, and the
seas,” according to the Rev. Wil
bur P. Wood, pastor.
Being a Federated (C. ogrogs
tional-Methodist) Church, it is
part of the new and united Meth
odist Church of 8,000,000 mem
bers, and through its b.-nevo! nc
es and missionary giving, it ex
tends its services to touch the
lives of men and women and lit
tle children of every race and
color the world over. It is not a
place of retr at from life, it is
rather a door through which men
may go out and do some service
for the needy, the ingorant, the
lonely, add for those who are
searching for God.
Within the United States, Mr.
Wood points out, Methodism serv
es in every great city, in every
state, and in some 30,030 rural
village-, and, to^ns. It minister
through churches especially, bu'
also through Methodist hospital
(of which the Maynard-Colum
bus Hospital at Nome is one) an '
schools & trained religious work
ers, to foreign speaking people
who have come to America from
Furop , to negroes, Lo those win
are “down and out,’ to children in
slums, to children and adults in
communities to which Industrie-'
draw many thousands, r where
seasonal agrieul.ure draws other
h nil of migrant \v<
f lies that ar: yraetically w .
ai work.
On th • first Sunday
month, says Mr. Wood. c
Church S'. . 1 makes a
i . which helps thes p: oh
a muti-ude of ways, and he'
others in the le s-fav.red land
of Asia, Africa, and La tin-Amer
ica. and in a few countries of
Europe; and the metnb.rs of thi
community itself, in addition to
helping support the local church,
give regularly for thes co-call ••
‘word service’ causes. These ern
es, both at home and over-seas,
ineudo the preaching of tha^G >
pel, the distribution of the Bib!
and the organization of Christian
church s and chapels under som
sixty flags on three continents,
including preaching in mere than
125 different languages and dia
lects, and a similar service on th
. “American frontier” and in Al
aska, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the
Philippines. In many of these
oversees countries, governments
have no schools or medical dis
pensaries or hospitals for the
poor of the native people, and th,e
Methodist Church has entered
with teachers, doctors, nurses -
all workers in ,the wid spread
Christian ministry.
Entry into the Federated
Church of Nome is but the begin
ning of a long pilgrimage of ser
vice through the doors of the
Methodist and Congregational
Churches out into all the world.
Nazi Scenario
(New York Times)
The German propaganda film
“Victory in the West,” which j
was heard of last at Ankara, turn
ed up this week at Santiago, I
Chile, where the German Am
bassador is showing it private!,
for the enjoyment of "a number
of Chilean officials.” This is ap
parently is premier in this Hem
'•piere. Its object, as nearly a
ci’i be determined by descrip
tions and a few ‘“stills,” is to
prove that Nazism is h st for
people and knocks down so
:v \ buildings. Ankara was no:
. vino.'d bo tlie exhibit! n tlmre
. nd has b< ■ n dec id dly o 1 to
ward the Nazis ever since. What
th film can accomplish in Chile,
which has recently re-elected a
liberal-left ish coalition G vern
m:nt and which is a long war
from Germany, is a problem f
experts.
I- is to be hoped that she fli *'
will be brought d°wn to date

of France. It should show such
things as the G rrnans muster

«v;o:t: “Germany herself — I do
et re this formally here — has
neither territorial claims nor pol
iticsl interests in this area." This
c: uld be followed by a flash-back
to previ is statement- in similar
vein made by Kerr K;tlcr and his
associates.
We can hardly wait till n get.

We require two movements
abroad, a 1 cal and a revolution
ary one. Do you think that’s so
difficult? 1 think we are capable
of it.
“We shall not land troops like
William the Conqueror and gain
Brazil by the strength of arms.
Our weapons are not visible ones.
“It will be a simple matter for
i me to produce unrest and revolts
in the United States so that these
gentry will have their hands full
with their own affairs. We shall
soon have storm troopers in Am
erica. . . . we shall have men
whom Yankeedom will not be
able to challenge.”

—Ray Walker says his wife was
in the habit of losing every pen

Ray began hiding pencils to have
one when he wanted it. That was
the start of a hobby. Now he has
more than 2,000 pencils, no two
alike.

’ nr . e seriouy” the stati-tie
hi ,s point out. "The number of
’men at tim e ages increased from
; ■ a:■ tica 11 y lO.TUOOO in 1900 to
nlnjbst 16.400,00 in 1040; but the
lutlook is that th™ year of maxi

12.6 percent of he total popula
tion. By 1980, the number of men
in this age range will have de
(dine d to 15.90 ',000 or 10.4 per
! e nt of the total.
“M u of ages 21 to 35 may be
said to constitute our first line of
military manpower; either of the
’ age groups 18 to 20 or 36 to 44,
1 or both, may be considered our
second line. The first of these
! age groups—18 to 20 years—in
creased quite rapidly from 2,200,
000 in 1900 to a peak of 3,700,000
in 1940, but th; indications are
that their number will diminish
steadily in the coming years; by
1980, it may be about 3,100,000.
In this picture, we have clear
evidence of the effect of the de
’ dine in the number of births in
our population within the last
two decades. The three years
from 1920 to 1922, which saw the
birth of those aged 18 to 20 in
1940, covered a period during
which the annual number of
births in the United States reach
ed its highest point.
