Thirty-three African language * now have the Bible in the vernacular; seventy have the New Testament in the vernacular; and parts of the Bible are found in more than 200. A Protestant organization known as Evangelical Students held special prayer services in Berlin for the success of international talks on halting atomic weapons tests. The group also appealed to local parishes to join in prayers for world peace and for an end to nuclear bombing experiments. A non-profit organization designed to provide training for Christian pilots and engineers who may later be called into missionary aviation and to open up new opportunities for Christian witness, has been established in Melbourne, Australia. The new group, endorsed by the Australian Missionary Aviation Fellowship, is known as “Aerial Missions.’’ Some students earn their own tuition by assisting local farmers in crop-dusting, others assist in loading, marking refueling planes and similar chores. At other times, the students serve as a gospel deputation te am wherever openings occur. The nation’s capital has 1,155 churches and synagogues in the metropolitari area according to figures released here by the Council of Churches of the National Capital Area. Os the total number, 1,014 churches are Protestant, 102 Roman Catholic, and 7 Orthodox, with synagogues numbering 32.

In Los Angeles, California, a new kind of religious broadcasting endeavor betfame officially incorporated recently. Directed by the Rev. David V. Benson, the nonprofit organization will be known as "Russia for Christ.’’ Its purpose is to broadcast the Christian message to the people of Russia. Each week, five half-hour programs are now being broadcast via the Voice of Tangier into the heart of Russia. Sermons are painstakingly drafted by Benson, a Presbyterian minister who has spent ten ing the Russian language and culture. The messages are then expertly translated by a skilled Rus-sian-borh' linguist. The translator _ carefully studies each sermon, using the best possible Russian phrasing and idiom to make them as perfect as possible. I AVit ■ — 41 **— J I Wisdom ¥4 In San Francisco. California, four-year-old Allan Baisa was attending Sunday school for the first time. The teacher asked, “Do any of you remember who St. Matthew was?” There was, no response. “Well, does anyone remember who St. Mark was?” Still no response. Then when she asked if anyone remembered who Peter was, Allan spoke up, “I think he was a wabbit!” Book Review THEOLOGY FOR BEGINNERS, by F. J.

| on «re| IL—week’s, lessen dealt with both’the remote’ future’’Wd events only forty years ©want. Today, we turn to the everyday circumstances of Jesus’ life. The setting is still Tuesday of Holy Week in the' temple. There is one difference, in that Jesus is not on the defensive, but on the offensive, forcing his enemies to face the question of what they are going to do about the Son of God. The lesson aims to show us that God’s love is all about us and we will be' judged by the way in which w.e respond to His love. V 5.33,34. “Hear another pa table: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and .digged a vinepress in it, and went into a far country: ... And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.” In this parable, the householder represents God, the vineyard represents the opportunities and privileges which had been enjoyed by the Jews as a nation; the husbandmen represent the Jews as a whole, with particular reference to their leaders. The implication by the phrase, “went into a far country” is that God withdrew from the scene of action in such a sense' that the Jewish people had free scope to carry out their moral designs during the long period of their national history; "hedged it* round about" refers to the strict laws by which the Hebrews were separated from their neighbors. The servants referred to were the prophets who came to the people in the name of God. The fruits expected wete moral fruits, living in conformity to the God-given laws. V 5.35,36,37. “And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. .. Again, he sent other servants, more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. . .But last of all. he sent unto them his son, saying. They will reverence my son.” The servants or prophets referred to were Micaiah and Jeremiah who were imprisoned, Zechariah, who was 1 stoned to death, and Isaiah who was supposed to have been sawn asunder. John the Baptist was beheaded. Jesus was the Son whom the Father finally sent to redeem the world. , V 5.39,39,40. “But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves. This is the heir; come let us kill .him, and let us seiae on his inheritance. . . And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. .. When the Lord therefore cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?” Jesus knew that some of those listening to him were plotting to kill him, thinking that by Jesus’ death they would gain the moral and spiritual authority over the people which Jesus was daring to exercise through His teachings. Being “cast out of the vineyard” may refer to the Jact that Jesus was crucified three days later outside thtf walls of Jerusalem. By asking this question, Jesus challenges his hearers with the thought of sure retribution which was to come. V. 41. “They say unto him. He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.” God had intended that the Jews should proclaim to the world salvation through Christ and the moral and spiritual teachings of the prophets, but the Jewish leaders rejected Jesus because he threatened the continuance of everything from which they derived personal satisfaction and financial gain. Consequently, ministers of the Christian church would soon be predominatly Gentiles, who would supersede the scribes and Pharisees. - V. 42. “Jesus saith unto them, ►Did ye never read in the scrip-

Here Jesus applies to Himself. PS. 118:22-23. V. 43. “Therefore I say unto you.

NOTES FROM AFTER THIRTY I I \ 111.. By Jack Heller ALL IN A DAY’S WORK The police station had a weird » one this week. They picked up an , amnesia victim. This is a good - plot for a mystery book or a telef vision show, but when its gets - right into Decatur, it makes you stop and think. Ibis unfortunate person happened to be a lady. The ; police were first called. into the situation when she fell on Second > street. They transported her to the ’ hospital and on the way, tried to ’ find out who she was. She didn’t . know—not only who she was, but where she was from. A diligent search revealed that she was from Michigan and some identification was finally procurred that gave i her identity. Her husband was not tified, and he picked her up at the s hospital the next day. Seems that 1 she had recently gone through the e death of her father and a child, and th* strain was too much. At ? least she is safe at home. The com- - plete outcome may never be known, but that's just part of the 1 passing parade that the police see - week in and week out. k ‘ 30 • IN DAYS OF OLD One of my favorite writers happens to be the famed Hoosier bard, . James Whitcomb Riley. An interesting tale concerning Mr. Riley and Dr. N. A. Bixler was related to us recently in the friendly and by the way, very beautiful, confines of the newly decorated Dei catur public library. It seems that - the famous Indiana poet had a 5 habit of walking through the coun- - tryside wherever he happened to - go in the state. One day he was . wandering around the area near t Berne, and spied a small boy and his pet coon. After a conversation with the boy, he asked if there 1 was a good place to eat in the neighborhood. The young man, who was Noah Bixler, replied that j his mother was the best cook j around that he knew of, and proto take his new-found friend home with him. Next time you happen to pick up a book b» Riley entitled “Childhood Poems,” if you look through, you’ll notice a rhyme called, “The Pet Coon.” Ibis poem starts out, "Noey Bixler caught a coon.” Seems that V even at an early age, the good ? Doctor was cultivating a love of ’ the literary that he maintained all Y his life, much to the benefit of all * the citizens of Deeatur and Adams county. LOOK INTO MY EYES j A young patron of the Decatur public library has a solution to his problem, but he still needs a little help. The boy was in the library i_ last week, busily browsing through the books. He finally had to ask for help. He was looking for some i. books on hypnotism. It was pointed out to the young man that hypnotism is not considered a youngster’s topic, but he was helped to . find some information on the subject. He was still not .satisfied though, he wanted a book t|at told . how to hypnotize people. When I asked why he wanted to learn how : to hypnotize anyone, he replied * that it was she only way he could I think of taming down his younger ‘ brother when he got ornery in the I evenings. Wanted: one book on the art of hypnotism. L WHAT A MESB y If you got to church at the wrong time or place last Sunday, chances h are, it was our fault. Saturday was , going to be a nice day. The forms n were all locked up and ready to be 6 put on the press at 11:35. It looked as if we would get out early, which y everyone enjoys. The first page to o go on the press is page two,'which e happens to be the church page on Saturday. It didn’t make it — at least not when it was supposed to. Ibe form was lifted down, and set n the dolly. About three feet farther toward the press and the newspaper’s greatest catastrophe e happened. We pied a page. In e words of the laymen, the whole blasted thing fell apart. There, on v the floor, in about two or more s thousand pieces lay what was supr posed to be a newspaper page, h There was only one thing to do. r. Everyone available found a proof >f one of the church notices and r started scrambling tar the lines y >f type. With a lot of cooperation s (and much unprintable language), ■- we finally got the page back to--1 gether. We hope there weren’t too I- many lines lost in the shuffle, and i. we sincerely hope that it doesn’t 1 happen again. NOT SO HOT 1 Recently, I was listening to a ' Beethoven symphony and the son 5 walked in the room. He inquired" r who wrote that noise. The author ' of the music as well as some of 1 his virtues were related to the ' young man. He stated that Beethoven must have written a Id of * good music, and was answered in the positive. He then inquired if r he had written “Jingte Bells.” , When told, no, he asked, very dis--1 gusted, “well what did he write t that was good?"

Social Security Quiz Answers Many Queries

(Editor’s note: Do you have any questions about Social Seeurity? We all do, don’t we? Send any question you might have to Social Security Quia, c/o Daily Democrat. You’ll find your answer in this column, which is published each Saturday.) 1. Q—l am now 65 and never worked under social security. When my daughter died she was supporting me and two tiny children. Because the children were eligible to monthly benefits. I was told no parent’s benefits were payable. Has this been changed? A—Yes. The 1958 Amendment’s permit benefits for both children under 18 and dependent parents. Contact your social security office immediately. Parents not yet old enough must file proof of support within 2 years of death or from date of these Amendments (when qualifying because of these amendments), t or they lose all right’s to survivor’s benefits later. 2. Q—l am now 67 years old and I’m drawing social security benefits. My old employer agreed to let me work four months during his rush season at S3OO a month. If this is my only earning, will I lose my social security benefits? A—No. You are allowed to earn SI2OO in any one year and receive all of your monthly payments. It does not matter when during the year you earn the SI2OO, as long as the total amount you earn does not run over this amount. 1. 3. Q —Recently I’ve become deaf .and need a hearing aid. Since I’m a social security beneficiary, can I get this through the local social security office? A—No. There is no provision for payment of medical expenses under the social security program. 4. Q—l’m a disabled World War II veteran 32 years old and receiving a service connected Veterans Administration benefit. Is there any point in applying to have my social security record frozen? A—Yes? and the sooner the better if you want to have your earnings record frozen as of the date your disabiliay began. After June, 1960, an application can only ) be effective to establish a period of disability beginning no earlier than 18 months before the application is filed. . ■ 5. Q —l’ve been working as a housekeeper for 3 years. I will soon be 62 and want to get social ■security benefits. I don’t think my employer reported my wages. I’m paid S2O a week. What should I do? A—There is a a p e c i a l post card you can get from your social security office. Send this card to the Accounting Division in Balti- , more, Maryland and you will receive a statement of wages credit- , ed to your account. When the state- ; ment is received and if you housekeeping salary is not on record, 1 discuss the error with the Social ■ Security office who in turn will : investigate. 6. Q—My wife and I receive pensions based on my railroad em- • ployment. She just reached 65 and 1 has enough social security credit to receive her own social security benefit. Will this affect my wife’s railroad pension? Can .1 receive > husband's benefits on my wife’s social security record? ■ A—You should contact the ington story that is very appropriate at this time of year. “Grandma Ferry used to gather the neighborhood children about her and tell them stories. This time it was about George Washington. She told how he had chopped down his father's cherry tree, and, when asked if he did it, said ‘yes, father, I cannot tell a lie, I did it with my little hatchet.’ “Grandma said to one of the boys named George, ‘what would you tell your father if you chopped down that cherry tree in your yard?” George answered, “I’d tell him the wind blew it down’.” Emy IL,,

Jgglroad Retirement Board for an 3Kiai answer to your question about railroad retirement benefits. Husband’s benefits are payable on a wife’s social security record only where the husband received over one-half his financial support from her during the year before she becomes entitled to social security benefits. You would possibly not qualify because of your railroad pension. Following are questions, and answers asked by Daily Democrat readers. ■ ~ 1. Q—l am 69 years old, a widow and am-still working. I would like to know if the Social Security in this year 1959 has a new rule, allowing a person to make more than SI2OO in the year. A— Only part of the retirement test has been changed. In order to receive monthly payments for.all 1 months in a calendar year, you Still are allowed to earn only SI2OO in a year. The only part of the retirement test that has been changed applies to those who earn more than SI2OO in a year. The new law allows a benefit payment for any month in which you earn SIOO or less in wages or under substantial services in self-employment. The old law, which was in effect through 1958, allowed only SBO in a month. COLUMBIA, Mo. — (UPI) — J. W. Atkins, 99, says he can cook, but he’s getting tired of it and would like to find a wife, about 65 to 70, tin good health, who would do the cooking for him.
