“When the smoke of the present world conflagration has gone, there will abide the foundations laid by our missionaries at home and abroad,” says Dr. William Lindsay Young, retiring as moderator of the Presbyterian General Assembly. “The way before us will not be easy.

The Bicol dialect is spoken by some 800,000 Filipinos on the Bicol peninsula of Luzon Island and on Masbate Island, Philippine archipelago. In 1911 the American Bible Society gave the Bicols their first New Testament, translated by a Filipino and a group of Presbyterian missionaries; in 1941 another Filipino and two missionaries added the Old Testament, and the Society published the entire Bible. Now it is going to have a thorough revision by modern scholars, native and American. Volunteer committees are working on various sections, and a committee will make the final revision which is to be produced on “plates that will last a hundred year.”

Practically every “orphaned” mission station throughout the world is being aided in its work by this fund from America.

“As members of the Christian church and believers in democracy, we have a special responsibility for refugees and all victims of war,” the Church Conference on Social Work said at its recent meeting in Atlantic City. “Christian refugees coming to this country offer us a special opportunity and responsibility. They need our friendship and our understanding, and the agencies working with them should our support.

In the world of today with all its needs, Christians must with tireless purpose work out the everlasting values of justice and love.”

Dr. Diliman S. Bullock, director of the El Vergel Agricultural School of the Methodist church in Angol, Chile, is working with Paul A. Berry, parasitologist of the United States Department of Agriculture, and with students of the Agricultural School in a search for a parasite that “controls” the whitefringed beetle that has been doing serious damage to crops in southern United States, especially in Flordia. The white-fringed beetle, supposed to be a native of Chile, feeds on the roots of corn, cotton, potatoes, peanuts and other legumes.

Bullock and Berry and their aides are searching;— hoping ultimately to introduce the parasite into the United States where the beetle is doing greatest damage.
