Missionaries Fight New African ‘Gods’

By ROBERT M. ANDREWS United Press International Missionaries, in Africa once fought to lead natives out of the jungle of superstition and pagan ritual. Now, it seems, the notion of the “white man’s magic” has backfired and the missionaries are fighting new African gods of money and power. So reports Dr. L. Harold DeWolf, professor of systematic theology at Boston University. He recently returned from a 13,000-mile tour of central Africa for the World Council of Churches. ™ • ~-yr~ Since his last previous trip to Africa in 1955, Dr. DeWolf reports, there has been an alarming shift toward selfishness and materialism among Africans. This threatens . not only the missionary effort but responsibly government in newly independent nations, he says. The theologian attributes this new feeling to increasing industrialization and urbanization. First Reaction Astonishment “More and more Africans,

many of whom had never seen so much as a wheel before, were suddenly exposed to the miracles of an industrial economy, such as skyscrapers, planes, trains and automobiles,” Dr. DeWolf explained in a report. Their first reaction was a sort of Alice-in-wonderland astonishment and a belief in the powers of the white man. This belief certainly did not stunt the growth of missions, Dr. DeWolf notes. “At first, the Africans associated all these wonders with adherence to Christianity,” he said. "They thought that conversion to the white man’s religion would bring an instant shower of material wealth. ’< Inevitably, disillusionment set in. “Many of the Africans began to see that not only did not Christianity guarantee instant affluence and power, but that many who believed in no god at all made out quite well, by good luck or hard work,”

said Dr. DeWolf. Improve Ministers Education “Now, instead of the earlier threat of the primitive religions, ironically,- the missionary movement has to contend with selfishness and materialism born Os exposure to a civilized society.” Community leaders are more often now to be better educated and better paid teachers instead of ministers, he reported. The frequent lack of responsible leadership has left the people more vulnerable to demagogic appeals by “reckless adventurers" among African politicians, he said. One of the churches’ solutions, Dr. DeWolf suggested, would be to improve the education of future ministers, including social studies and philosophy courses to help them understand “what, in addition to brains and money, goes into making a strong society.” Man Slays Crippled Daughter And Self INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — A business executive who feared for his sanity and job Sunday killed his crippled daughter then himself, leaving a note saying “this is the only way out,” according to police. Marion Cotton, 55, vice president of a plumbing and heating firm, apparently had planned the shotgun shootings for several days, police said. Mrs. Bernice Cotton, his wife, told police she left the house for about 90 minutes and on her return found her daughter, Carol Ann, 26, crippled by cerebral palsy since birth, dead on the living room couch. After calling police she discovered Cotton’s body in the garage with a note addressed to her and the shotgun nearby. Police said the note appeared to have been written several days ago. The note told of Cotton’s love for his wife and daughter, mentioning that “this is the only way out" and "I am very sick.” Mrs. Cotton told police he did not seem particularly depressed when she left the house, leaving Carol Ann watching television. She said he had worried about his health and feared he was losing his nqind. Cotton had been under a doctor’s care for some time.

Another Buddhist Priest Kills Self SAIGON, South Viet Nam *UPI) — A Buddhist priest burned himself to death in flaming gasoline Sunday in the seventh such suicide since the dispute began last summer between Buddhist leaders and President Ngo Dinh Diem’s government. Buddhist sources said the priest, 42-year old Ho Dinh Van, wrote a series of notes to Diem and U. N. Secretary General Thant saying he planned to kill himself to protest “the suppression of Buddhism” in this nation where three-fourths of the population is Buddhist. An apparent er/or in timing, however, prevented the seven members of a U.N. observer mission from seeing the priest die. The group, sent here to investigate the charges of religious discrimination, was in another part of Saigon at the time. Van’s death was watched by a crowd of several hundred persons, including many Buddhists who knelt and touched their foreheads to the pavement in prayer. The priest chose the street in front of Saigon’s Roman Catholic cathedral, where Diem often worships, as his place to die. The first ritual suicide early last summer, which brought world attention to the Buddhist crisis, also took place near the cathedral. Diem and his family are Roman Catholics but deny that the government crackdown on the Buddhists is religious discrimination. In their view, the Communists are using the Buddhists to attempt to overthrow the government. As parishioners were leaving the church after Mass Sunday, Van squatted on the pavement, drenched his saffron robes with gasoline, struck a match, and died a flaming death. Two policemen tried to put out the fire, but Van was already dead by the time they reached him. Four California Youths Are Killed CHINO, Calif. (UPI) — Four Southern California teen-aged youths were killed Sunday when their automobile went out of control, careened over a 50-foot embankment and landed 10 feet up in a tree.

(UPI) — A migrant farm worker and seven Os his 10 children were killed in a head-on collision of a car and truck on U. S. Highway 666 about 36 miles north of Gallup, N.M., Sunday. Five others were injured. State police identified the victims as Luz B. Garza, 37, whose last permanent address was Route 1, Nyssa, Ore., the driver of the car, and the seven Garza children — Noelia, 16; Odelia, 13; Irma, 11; Vivano, 8; Lupe, 5; Mercedes, 4; and Rojelio, 1. The mother, Marie Garza, 40; the truckdriver William Delbert Wakefield, 48, of Aztec, N.M., and three other Garza children were the injured. All were expected to survive. State police said the family was on its way to Alamo, Tex., from the Idaho potato harvest. They planned to visit Mrs. Garza’s relatives at Alamo. The truck driver told officers he saw the car approaching him across a narrow bridge in the wrong lane. He locked his brakes, hoping to avoid the collision, skidded 50 feet and hit. State police attributed the accident to speed, driving on the wrong side of the road and driver fatigue.

Council Pays Warm Tribute To Pope John VATICAN CITY (UPI)— Pope Paul VI today led the cardinals and bishops of the Roman Catholic Church in a moving tribute to his predecessor, Pope John XXIII, as a man sent by God to give new life to the church and light to the world. At a colorful ceremony in St. Peter’s Basilica attended by all of the fathers of the Ecumenical -. Council. Pope Paul said Mass in commemoration of the election of John XXIII as pontiff in 1958. While Pope Paul listened from the papal throne in front of the great altar, Leo Josef Cardinal Suenens of Belgium delivered an address extolling John XXIII as a man of humble goodness who “opened a new era for the church.” Council fathers had anticipated that Suenens’ speech would include a plea to expedite the work of the council, which has tended to become bogged down in protracted debate. But the advance word to this effect proved wrong. Suenens spoke solely about John XXIII and his enormous impact on history. “John XXIII was a man surprisingly natural and at the same time supernatural,” Suenens said. “He lived in the presence of God with the simplicity of one who takes a walk through the street of his native town. “John’s spontaneous, forth-

right, ever-alert goodness was like a ray of sunshine which dispels the fog, which melts the ice ... He had confidence in the power of the love of Christ burning in a human heart. “John XXIII could reveal God to men, perhaps better than others more brilliant or more scholarly, because for so many years he was the faithful witness of the God who loves men.” Because of today’s ceremony, the usual general session of the Ecumenical Council was suspended. But the council will resume work Tuesday.
