Riverside Church, Ft. Worth
To Launch $50,000 Missions
Job In All-Day Service Apr. 10
The Riverside congregation in Fort Worth, Texas, this week an-
nounced a special area-wide meeting to be held at the building of
this church Sunday, April' 10 to create wider interest in the five-
year evangelistic program which Texas churches mapped out among
the English-speaking people of South Africa. • i
Reuel Lemmoni, evangelist for the Central Church in Cle-
burne, sponsor of much of the work being outlined, and Eldred Ec-
nols, missionary to Africa now on leave, will be the principal
speakers in morning and , evening services, while John Hardin,

house to themselves which con-
tains rooms for storing clothing
and food for distribution and for
services in addition to their liv-

in Belgium in September, they
had resided temporarily with
Brother and Sister Jean Noel.
Brother Timmerman writes of
the house: “It is roomy enough
for us, and It has conveniences
which are not easily found in
Belgium, such as central healinu
and a bathroom. We also have a
large space on the ground floor

Public excitement has lately risen to an unusual high over Ca-
tholicism and Communism. Numerous expressions in the public
press As well as in religious periodicals have reflected this public
concern.
Thera is a danger that members of the church be mislead
into a one-sided conclusion regarding this matter, as the prob- .
lam is sometimes urged as being a choice between Communism
and Catholicism. This is not the issue. Christians will not be in-
terested in such a choice. In fact, if I were ever to be faced with
the full-fledged problem of choosing between the two, I would
not know which to choose. There is little choice between them.
With us it is not a choice between the two but a REJECTION
X. OF BOTH.
\We know the history of Ca-
tholicism for a thousand years or
more. She has ever been at heart
just as tyrannical and oppressive
as communism. When it is to her
advantage she-preaches religious
tolerance, but even in Italy today
or in Latin America her toler-
ance is to threaten torture to
those who dare preach any other
doctrine and eternal purgatory
to her subjects if they so much as
listen to them.
In Poland and other countries
' where Catholicism is the domi-
nant religion she is suffering her ,
worst set-back. It ought to be re-
vealing enough that among the
people where it is almost the on-
ly religion is where it is faring
most poorly.

“Brethren who have never

ties for evangelism in Africa will
miss something if they do not
hear these messages,” Claude A.
Guild, Riverside evangelist stated
this week.

day, March 25. Fourteen were
injured. Sister W. S. Craig was
critically injured. Brother Lon-
nie Clark, one of the elders,
along with his two sons and sev-
• eral members of the church lost
their homes. There , were almost
16 homes completely destroyed.
Nearly seventy-five people were
left homeless in a town of a pop-
ulation of about 250. No one was
killed in the storm.
The church house suffered
------KUlte N1UH1 damage but the in-
suxance will cover it. The great
need is to help those who are
homeless. This is a great oppor-
tunity for the church to help
these people and to do good. If
yqu can help in any way at this
time, please send your checks or
your goods to the church of i--x
