The foundation is, of course, best known for its backinf of the research which led to the polio vaccine—a discovery that will undoubtedly keep thousands of people under 40 from death or crippling due to the disease. But there are countless other patients who are already suffering from polio, and even more who are affected by birth defects or crippling arthritis. The Church of the Brethren “Gospel Messenger” recently carried a very interesting story. Miss Mary Neher, of North Manchester, was the sth child in a family of 11. Before she learned to walk she was struck by crippling polio. She was never able to walk without help, and was in her teens before she mustered courage to complete grade school, passing a county-wide test witll the third highest grade. For 30 years she got around on crutches, but for the past 35 has been confined to a • wheel chair. Miss Neher is now 84 years old. During her life she sewed and kept a rooming house for students, including many ministers, at Manchester College. For many years her father carried her to and from church in his arms; more recently, members of the church have taken month-long shifts in bringing her to her bhurch, where she has taught Sunday school for more than 60 years. Miss Neher’s life is a great Christian testimony to faith—yet it was filled with pain and suffering from the crippling disease. As God gave, her faithtojeada life £_ filled with pain, so He leads us to overcome the crippling disease, with His aid, by. medical research and . patient care. So when the National Foundation approaches you, through the march of dimes, or balloon sale, or by letter, or the Mother’s March, remember that this is another of the mysterious ways in which God works to help alleviate human misery and suffering. a

Challenge Basis Os Religious Revival * By MKL OPOTOWBKY tailed Fr*ae lateraatteftel NEW YORK <UPD — In th* midst of a record rvligiou* revival th* United State* recently expertenced the uncovering of widespread moral »<andal». including TV quu fixes, payola in broadcasting and union corruption In an effort to seek an explanation to this parado*. United Press Internattonsl surveyed several of th<- nation’s leading religious leaders. Their answers showed a significant divergence of opinion as to whether the religious revival was a sincere movement and whether the scandals were a sign of an improving America or of a degenerating nation. Three of the leader*, including Evangelist Billy Graham, were optimistic They saw at least hope for higher moral standards in the nation and even went so far a* to consider the moral indignation over the scandals as a sign of these higher standards. But two others, including the Rt. Rev James A. Pike. Episcopal Bishop, seriously challenged the basis of the religious revival which h.ls sent church membership soaring to a record 110.000.000 persons —about 60 per cent of the nation's population. Church Greatest Field Pike warned that today's popular “boom-time church" has surrendered much of its role in shaping the nation's morality, and Graham added that the church itself was the greatest field for evangelism in America. Graham said however that during the last decade “we have witnessed the greatest religious revival in American history." “Yet. on the other hand, we are living in an era of immorality. crime, deception, divorce and corruption that has no parallel in our history.” Graham added. The very presence of the Scandals, Graham indicated, showed that there was a “spiritual and moral movement" that was gaining momentum. "We are seeing today the fwerish activities of evil spiritual t forces in full counter-attack against a great religious upsurge in America." Graham said. ‘The Bible teaches that ultimately, Satan wil be defeated.” Now On Crusade

Graham, who is now on a crusade in Africa, said that high school and college students appeared to be responding most to the spiritual awakening, indicating a bright future for the nation. Rabbi Max D. Davidson. President of the Synagogue Council XM- America, said that ‘ the present reaction to the disclosures, the protests and the revulsion of the people of the United States may • well be reflecUon of the religious revival of our day.” X "Political, commercial and organizational leaders now as never before feel themselves compelled to account to the public for their policies and actions, and to justify the tenure of high position, he said. “This gives us heartening hope for honor and honesty in the future.” _ Dr Louis Webster Jones, President of the National Conference iof Christians and Jews, said that the outcry over the recent scandals was America “belatedly expressing moral indignation at a number of practices that have been with us for a long time. “Perhaps the current scandals will have the good effect of convincing more people that ethical judgment must govern in practical affairs,” Jones said.

Paraffin Almost any kind of bright wood berries, if dipped in melted paraffin and then put away until needed, may be preserved for decoration. If treated in this manner, they will retain their shape and brightness for months. Linen Closet An unused bookcase makes an excellent linen closet. If curtains are fastened inside the glass doors, it will add to the appearance.
