Laymen’s Overseas Service Launched

By LOVIS CASSELS United Press International Bob Kochtitzky is a softspoken young Methodist from Jackson. Miss., who believes that “thousands of laymen want to go beyond Writing checks” in serving the cause of Christ, With virtually no resources except his own cheerful faith, he has launched a promising new movement called "Laymen's Overseas Service” — LAOS for short. LAOS offers Protestant layman an opportunity to serve abroad as short - term missionaries at their own expense. It started on a very modest scale last summer. Ten volunteers — three men and seven women — went to Bolivia to contribute eight weeks of w>ork to Methodist hospitals and schools. Most of them were teachers, but the group included a carpenter and two secretaries. They not only worked without salary; They also paid their own transportation costs and living expenses. This year LAOS plans to send at least 50 volunteers to Peru. Honduras, Chile ahd Bolivia. Many of them will stay for six months or a year. The group includes physicians, dentists, nurses, medical technicians, teachers, a dietitian,- a librarian, a stenographer and a bookkeeper. They range in age from 18 to 75. “Next year.” Kochtitzky said in an interview, “we hope to send two or three hundred vol-, unteers abroad, and to include

some of the mission fields of Asia and Africa.” He explained that LAOS has concentrated on Latin America so far because “transportation costs are lower.” He said a volunteer from the eastern part of the United States would need about S9OO to underwrite the total cost of a six-months term of service in a Latin American country. “In some cases, their local churches contribute part of the cost.” he said. “But many of them pay all of it out of their own pockets.” About a third of the volunteers to date have been Methodists. The other two-thirds come from Episcopal, Presbyterian, Baptist and other Protestant churches. “We never accept a volunteer just to swell the total and make the program look bigger,” Kochtitzky said. "We ask the full-time missionaries in these countries what kind of help they need—what skills and pro-' sessions. Then we try to find people who have those particular vocations, and who want to give themselves, and not just their money, to the Christian mission.” Kennedy In Denial Os Johnson Feud WASHINGTON (UPD—Att6. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy insists there is no feud between him and President Johnson, and that their relations always have been friendly. Kennedy sought Thursday to discount reports that he and Johnson were at odds over efforts by Kennedy’s supporters . to boom him for the Democratic vice presidential nomination. The attorney general appealed to Wisconsin backers of a move to get him the vice presidential bid to discontinue their efforts. He repeated his statement that the presidential nominee should select his running mate. Later, tn a talk with a group of- Pennsykvanie students in his relations with Johnson: -“I have the highest regard for him. Our relations are friendly; they always have been. He has always been kind tome, to my family and to Mrs. Kennedy — both as vice president and since then. I have read these reports about a feud. There is. no substance to these reports.”

Sheppard Bid For Freedom Is Denied COLUMBUS. Ohio (UPD— The pardon • and parole commission today rejected Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard’s bid for freedom and said it would not consider his case until he was eligible for parole this fall. The action came as a surprise, as many principals in Sheppard’s conviction of second degree murder for the bludgeon slaying in 1954 of his wife had recommended he be released from prison. The rejection of his appeal for reconsideration by the commission came as he pressed a habeas 'corpus action in U. S. District Court. The *, commission’s still left Sheppard’s request up to Gov. James A. Rhodes, who could act against the parole commission recommendation and grant executive clemency or immediate parole. Habeas Corpus Plea Should the ’ federal court agree to hear the habeas corpus action, the state would have to prove that Sheppard’s constitutional rights were not violated in his trial as he claims. Sheppard was convicted of second degree murder for the fatal beating in their home of his wife, Marilyn, in the Cleveland suburb of Bay Village on July 4, 1954. He has maintained his innocence, since his arrest and has filed varipus appeals in state and federal courts. Rhodes, acting on a recommendation by the parole commission in January of 1963, turned down a previous clemency request by Sheppard. Sheppard is eligible for parole after serving a minimum of 10 years of his sentence, less time off for good behavior This would make him eligible for parole in October.

THIS WAS ONE of the momentous meetings in history. As so often is true, what you could have seen with the naked eye or with a camera, was not what you could have seen with the eyes of the spirit. To the outward eye,

everything was rigged in favor of Pilate. He had the authority; Jesus had never been so much as a village head-man, while Pilate was the colonial governor representing the Roman Empire. Pilate had large

Dr. Foreman

numbers of soldiers to carry out his will, Jesus not so much as a single servant-boy. Pilate was officially the judge, and Jesus the prisoner; but now we know (would we have guessed it then?) that Pilate was being judged, not Jesus. Jesus walked out from that hall of “justice” a condemned man; but the verdict of the ages is that it was Pilate who was the guilty one. Whaf Pilate thoaght It is not mere guessing to suggest what Pilate was thinking, in that early morning court room scene. We know what he said, how he acted, and so we can venture to say what he was thinking. “I have the power here,” he .must have thought. Os course. Did not Rome always have the power? What can a young and friendless barbarian (for so Pilate must have regarded his strange prisoner) do against my orders? The Governor could not know that this very prisoner would exert a power through the next twenty centuries far greater than any government has ever been able to impose. There now are societies that honor Jesus all pver the globe; but where are the Pilate-societies? With Pilate’s death his power came to an end. yVith Jesus’ death His power Would begin anew. “This man has done no wrong, but.. Pilate acted unjustly and he knew it. One trouble with that man was that he really cared for something else more than justice. “I have my own career to think ot," he thought What Jesas thought The prisoner looked on the judge with something between pity and opntempt. He knew that Pilate knew nothing whatever about the case. He knew that Pilate, like some modern envoys, did not probably bother to learn the language of the people to whom he was assigned as governor—am that he had to depend on the chief priests and other religious leaders of Judea to guide him in his decisions. Pilate listened for the voice of power; and those who made the powerstructure in that country all said Guilty: Crucify this man. Pilate like all men in authority had to keep his ear to the ground, he had to know what people were saying. There was no difficulty in hearing them. The streets were full of screams. Luke says sadly that “their voices prevailed.” Two kingdoms Yet if Jesus ever had contempt for any man—and he did —he must have felt contempt for Pilate. The governor had one idea of what the real world is; the prisoner had quite another. Pilate believed in what he could see and handle and manage. Jesus believed in a Kingdom of Truth. He was not carried away by the word “King.” When Pilate asked him, “You are a king, then?” Jesus said in effect, “King is your word. I was bom to bear Witness to Truth.” This Pilate could not understand at all. A kingdom of armies, fortresses, wealth, yes; but a kingdom of truth—what is truth? Jesus had not groveled before Pilate, nor asked him a single favor. But he had offered him his one chance, his last one. If Pilate had shown the least heart-interest in Truth, Jesus would have talked with him. He had talked with rich and poor, great and small before; he would, have not refused to speak to the heart of the judge. But it was now too late. The judge had been judged. Is it not so always, when a man faces Jesus, and must choose? _ ,id.ii ■! — ’

HOW TO SAY PRAYERS Rev. James R. Meadows Set aside a few minutes to be alone and quiet. Talk to God simply and (naturally telling Him anything that is upon your mind. Practice talking to God as you go about the business of the day. Affirm the fact that God is with you and helping you. Pray with the thought that your prayers reach out instantly over land and sea and surround your loved ones with God’s love and care. . Think positive, not negative thoughts when you pray. Always state in your prayer that you are willing to accept God’s will, whatever it is, and always ask in Jesus’ name. In your prayer simply put everything into God’s hands. Calvary E. U.
