Full church influence to be exerted to secure the eradication of racial segregation and discri mination whether imposed by law or by custom. 2. Reexamination of now or ganized religious or missionary enterprises with a view of remov ing racial and discriminatory bar- ( riers. i 3. Promotion of interracial ac tivities and promotion of mutual understanding an'd good will among all races and groups.

This dreaded disease strikes all class es, all creeds, and all colors. And strikes when most unexpected. Today my home, tomorrow yours, and the next day, somebody else may feel its sudden attack. There has not as yet been dis covered any preventative. There is not any vaccine or innoculation that one can take to ward off the disease. We are at the mercy of the elements. Medical men and women have been able to cure many cases of poliomyelitis. The cost of treat ments received, often running into a period of years, is often many hundreds of dollars and some times many thousands of dollars. How many of us today can afford such a price for the treatment for our family, or ourselves? Our late President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, was a sufferer and a victim of Poliomyelitis. Through his leadership the March of Dimes began, giving millions of dollars a year to the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. It is up to the living to continue this great work. Not just to insure adequate medical treatment for others, but for ourselves. We know not the day or the hour. Everytime I picked up a paper this fall I would read about the terror it was bringing to the many large cities of the United States. I read about the many persons, young and old, that were being ad mitted to our hospitals. About the schools and the many public ga thering places being closed in Minneapolis. I still did not think much about it until one morning I opened a lettw that I had received from my sister in St. Paul. It read, 1 quote, “The doctor said that the two youngest children had con tracted infantile paralysis. They are so helpless, but I am sure . that they will be all right. The I hospitals are so full that they are going to treat theme here at home. I’m so glad that they can be here with me. The little boy, next door. He was the children’s best play mate. He died. I still can’t believe it Why just the other day they were all playing together in the front yard.” The letter went on explaining | other happenings in St. Paul and Minneapolis. I hardly read it as I sat there looking at my little daughter, playing with her toys, laughing and talking to her little doll. Who knows, she might be next. JOIN TH. MARCH OF DIMES. Give and give generously. Polio myelitis must be conquered. Not I only for our own benefit, but for the benefit of all mankind and the generations that follow. We could leave no greater gift to our chil dren than a HEALTHIER AND STRONGER AMERICA. . SPORTS BACK THE “MARCH OF DIMES” NEW YORK—Sports activities in support of the March of Dimes are being directed by sports wri ters and promoters of national prominence. Traditionally coop erative with all important move ments, the sports world again is backing the National Foundation in its annual campaign for funds to provide care for polio victims without regard to age, race, creed or color.

Maier Bringing Christ to the Nations THE INTERNATIONAL ! LUTHERAN HOUR “Over Station KBON Every Sunday morn’ 11:30 P. M. —Publicity Department — 3558 South Jefferson Ave. Saint Louis, Missouri ST. LOUIS,, Mo. (Special)—Eight to 10 million Amer icans are suffering from mental and nervous ailments in the nation's most neurotic age, Dr. Walter A. Maier of Con cordia Theological Seminary declared today in an address over the International Lutheran House. He declared that ac cording to experts’ estimates, 10 million people in the Unit ed States will have to be hospitalized foi* these, diseases ^before they die. Maintaining that the Atlantic Charter’s promise of freedom from far has become irahical in a day of increas ed fright, Dr. Maier reported that of the thrre million plus letters received from listeners to his radio broadcast, the largest single group came from those beset by phobias, fears of wrecked homes, destitution, divorce, fear of old age, disease and bereavement?" especially fear of death and future judgment. The antidote to such neuroticism, the radio speaker maintained, is found in Christ’s Gospel. The Bible-found ed return to God’s love, he declared, has helped banish fear more effectively than all prophetic formulas and medical means together. He quoted Pastor Marrtin Niemoeller s statement that it was not courage that helped him through eight years imprisonment in the Nazi camp, but Christ Answering the objection that the effect of the Christian religion is theoretical, Dr. Maier cited a practical demonstra tion of the quieting, constructive influence of Christianity. He pointed to Bremen, Kansas, which, he maintained, for thirty years has not witnessed an arrest' or court action. This town is made up mostly of Lutheron's, who have two churches and two Christian day schcools, which obviate the necessity of public schools. Dr. Maier concluded; Let America follow the Bremen-pattern, and we can effectively sf('ve our pressing problems." __ STATE-WIDE WRITING CONTEST SPONSORED BY LINCOLN (MO.) UNIVERSITY JEFFERSON CITY.

Lesson for January 19 _ t Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by Intern 'tional Council of Religious Education; used by permission. JESUS INTERVIEWED BY NICODEMUS ) LESSON TEXT- John 16, 17. ' I MEMORY SELECTION —Except a man be born again, he canni t see the king dom of God.»—John 3:3. ) How does one become a Chris-! tian? This was the question of Nico-; demus, and it is the question in thef hearts and minds of thousands in every generation. The answer is clear and definite. The only entrance into the Chris tian life is by the door of the new birth. Regeneration is the act of God whereby the divine nature is imparted to the believing sinner and he becomes the child of God. He who has not entered by this way has not entered at all. He is still dead in trespasses and sins, with out God and without hope (Eph. 2:1. 12). The Pharisees who looked for the coming of the Messiah as a sec ular conqueror wondered at this new spiritual leader. It was prob kbly as much on their behalf as his own that Nicodemus came to in quire of Jesus. In answering his questions Jesus reveals the neces sity, the nature, and the method of regeneration. - i I. The New Birth—a Necessity
