City Wide Missionary Report of Natiqiml Fellowship Day At Meeting Held Here By Phillips Temple CME Mrs. H. L. Burton The Board of Managers of UnitI «d Church Women concluded a three day meeting in Indianapolis, Ind. last week. 200 members attended from 46 stales, to explore social problems, receive reports of the standing committees and to
formulate policy.
Presiding at the meeting which is held annually, was Mrs. Wi’liam Sale Terrell of West Hartford, Conn., president of United
Church Women.
The only public session was a dinner meet ng which featured Dr. John Mar in, physicist at Argcnne Na ional Laboratories, Lemont, III., as guest speaker. Speaking on the subject of peaceful uses of atomic energy, Dr. Martin stated that “The Church must show the way o knowing God in order that reasonable meaning and purpose may be attached to the scientist’s description of the laws of nature.” On the seccAid evening, Mr. James Wine, Associate General Secretary for Interpretation, the National Council of Churches, spoke on “The Truth About the
National Council.”
During business sessions four resolutions were passed. The first urged church women to seek reliable information on developments in the Berlin crisis and to express their opinions to the Secretary of State. The second urged support by the United States for the World Refugee Year. The third resolution urged that church women strive to maintain an atmosphere of reasonableness and good will in which the right of freedom of dis 1 cussion may be preserved. The fourth reaffirmed United Chiirch Women’s considered and wholehearted support of the humanitarian work of UNICEF around the
world.
A member of United Church Women’s Board of Managers who attended this annual meeting from Indianapolis was our own Mrs. H. L Burton.

I can really say that I had a busy weekend,’ although it was very pleasant indeed. Last Saturday, I attended a reception given by Mrs. Fannie Young in honor of our new field missionary from Louisville, Mrs. Virginia
Edwards.
Mrs. Young, I must say, always does such a good job of entertaining our national workers — which .makes un for all the other state officers who should have greeted our visitor. Also present at t h e reception were Mrs. Ardelia Halsell, vice-president, and Mrs. J. T.
Highbaugh.
Those who heard Mrs. Edwards last Sunday know she is a wonderfully sincere sneaker, humble and right down-to-earth. After Sunday school at First Baptist Church, North Indianapolis, I went to the women’s program at East Side Baptist Church. Mrs. Theresa Williams, wife of the pastor, and Mrs. Betty Haggard were speakers. Rev. Andrew Williams is doing a splendid job. Last week, 40 new members taken in during the month were baptized. Sunday afternoon, I attended an enjoyable service at Good Samaritan Baptist Church. At 6:30, I presented a travelogue at Southside CME Church. Rev. W. H. Crenshaw is to be commended for his work there.

Church Women Discuss Social Problems of Day By WILLA THOMAS The full spectrum of social probems facing the Americanchurch — ncluding housing. segregation, f reedom of opportunity, civil rights md unemployment — were aired it last week’s three-day session of the Board of Managers of the United Church Women. , An estimated 250 women from 46 states attended the closed meeting n the McMillan Room of the Marott Hotel. This marked the f irst time the national board had met here. Mrs. William Sale Terrell of Hartford, Conn., is national presilent; Miss Sara Jo Schilling heads the state council, and Mrs: Floyd Whipple is president of the Indianapolis group. A spokesman for the National Council of Churches-affiliafed “roup said their real progress in human relations is tied up with orogress of the ecumenical move-
ment.
“Many significant advances have been made in many communities, due solely to the fact that church women have worked together on the common concerns of their towns in areas of housing, education and employment,” said Mrs. Jesse McNeil, president of the Michigan council. “This is done without fanfare i because it is our way of witnessing to our faith.” • <
