and a unified purpose among
evangelical Christians. The church
groups represented at this initial
ecumenical meeting were the
Evangelical Mission Covenant,
the Friends, the Moravians, and
the Evangelical Lutherans.
The meeting was called to or
der by the acting moderator, the
Rev. H. R. Amundsen of Nome,
and the Rev. Albert Tastad of
Lost River led in opening devo
tion. Miss Noreen Paulson of
Teller Mission was chosen to
serve as secretary.
Wednesday morning was de
voted to the early beginnings of
mission work in western Alaska,
and it was learned that all groups
were indebted to Dr. Sheldon
Jackson for his far-sighted admin
istration in inviting the early
missionaries to occupy the un
churched areas.
The Rev. D. Schottschneider of
Bethel gave the historical back
ground of the Moravian Church
in the Kuskokwim which dates

staff of 24 missionaries located in
19 villages ministering to 1,800
people.
The Rev. Norval Hegland of
Teller gave a sketch of Lutheran
mission work in the Port Clarence
area. This began in 1894 and now
has seven missionaries minister
ing to 700 people in five villages.
The Rev. Harold Back of Kot
zebue traced the. work of the
Friends in the Kotzebue Sound
area which dates back to 1897 and
now embraces ten villages with
a staff of 15 workers, serving
2,000 people.
Upon invitation of the Rev. M.
D. Londborg, resident missionary
at Unalakleet and principal of the
new high school, all of the visiting
clergy attended the evening wor

Church.

supplies and equipment for the
Unemployment
Is Decreasing, Says
Secy, of Treasury
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., UP)—
Secretary of the Treasury Hum
phrey said Tuesday, “Unemploy
ment is a matter of the greatest
concern to everyone” in the Eis
enhower Administration.
“We are working and planning
in every way to' reach the day
when every man looking for work
can find a job,” he said. “We have
shaped our entire economic pro
gram in the way best calculated
to bring that happy day at the
earliest possible time.”
Humphrey’s speech—delivered
at the annual convention of the
American Bankers Assn.-—ap
peared to be an administration
answer to the storm o'f criticism
kicked up by Secretary of Defense
Wilson’s recent bird dog-kennel
dog remarks while discussing un
employment. The Treasury head
did not mention Wilson or the dog
episode, however.
Humphrey, in his talk here,
said:
“Industrial activity and total
employment have held remark
ably well throughout recent
months. The fourth quarter of
this year is already even brighter
both industrially and commercial
ly.
“The number of unemployed is
currently decreasing. We have
had more people working during
this year than in any other year
in the nation’s peacetime history.”
churches.
Mr. A. V. Brodin of the Cove
nant Children’s Home at White
Mountain led the discussion on
social work. It was agreed that
there is a lack of recreational
facilities for young people in all
the villages. All were urged to
give this subject further study.
The closing business meeting
was devoted to the choice of an
official name, definition of pur
pose, and scope of membership.
The group expressed their grati
tude to Rev. and Mrs. Londborg
and to Mrs. Spencer Strand of the
Unalakleet Covenant Mission for
their hospitality.
A note of interest on the chang
ing scene in mission work was
the fact that the entire group
came and departed in four planes
flown by the missionary pilots of
four of the church groups repre
sented.
