STARTED FOR ASSEMBLY OF NEXT SUMMER Preparations are under way for Jie Second World Assembly of the World Council of Churches to be held in Evnnston, 111., August 1531 1964. Membership in (ho World Council now includes 161 Protestant and Orthodox churches In 46 countries. The second Assembly will be the most inclusive and representative world gathrrlnp of Ihristians that has ever taken according to forecasts.

Tho meeting of the Assembly, the first in six years, will provide opportunity for a restudy of the Council's entire program and for deliberative discussion by the delegates of the hopes and problems related to the life, work, faith and practice of churches everywhere. It will consider organization and program, interchurch aid and service to refugees and the financial underwriting essential to carrying on council work. The Assembly theme is to be Hope of the World." Six Sub-Themes Under this Centra! theme, there will be six sub-themes touching upon specific areas: 1. Faith and Oneness in Christ and Our Disunity as Churches; 2. Mission of the Church to those Outside Its Life; 3.

Social Responsible Society in World Perspective; 4. International in the struggle for world community; 5. Intergroup Church Amid Racial and Ethnic Tensions; 6. Tho Christians and His Vocation. Each of the foregoing sub-themes has boon the special concern of various study groups in all parts of tho world for the past two years or more.

A number of statements from such groups have been issued In pamphlet form. Those and others yet to come are reforred to those under appointment as dele- pates to Evanston and to church people in general. Without authority, these statements arc meant only to serve as stimulus to further and widespread study and criticism. A series of six booklets on the six sub-themes has been issued undor the title Ecumenical Studies. The 600 voting delegates to the Evanston Assembly will constitute a very small proportion of thoso who participate in the meetings There will also be 150 consultants selected for tholr special competence in one or more of tho fields of study, a youth delegation of 100 and 600 accredited visitors, together with several hundred rep resentatlves of the press.

Auxiliary Meetings Beside the Assembly proper, a number of auxiliary functions have been planned. Among these will be a special exhibition of religious a.rl at 'the Chicago Art Institute anc an ecumenical concert bv the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. The theological faculties located in the Chicago aroa are planning two weeks of seminars for ministers just before the Assembly and will bring as leaders some of the loading theologians of the world who will be attending the Assembly At the beginning of tho Assembly! a great public worship service win bo held In Soldiers 1 Field. This will be opon to all In the Chicago area and it is expected that the attendance will tax the 100,000 seating rapacity of the great stadium.

DUl 4-1661 Out of the mouths of babes often comes entertainment as well as -wisdom. Take a young charmer who recently took up residence in Corsl- ana. His small cupped hands were filled with tiny heads of flowers one recent morning, when he approached his mother. "Where did get them," quietly asked the parent, knowing that they had a ook foreign to her own flower beds. He shook his blonde head, determinedly.

"But you must tell me," persisted his mother. Why had he picked them? "Well, you haven't any flowers your house," he pointed out. But he didn't identify the garden where he found the blooms' Thinking to arrive at a conclusion by means of deduction, the mother named her neighbors un- the little boy gave an affirmative movement of the head. And why, asked the mother, had he picked flowers -in her yard? "Well, she didn't care about them," he declared. "She got in a car and drove away and left the little flowers all alone!" So the small bug-hunter moved in to adopt them.

Only One Song We especially like the story of the local pre-schooler who returned from Sunday School awash with tears. To the concerned mother's inquiry, the pretty youngster sobbingly related that some sort of prejudice was making itself felt against her in the church school kindergarten. The other children were permitted to sing, and she wasn't. Not sing at all, asked the worried parent. Well, once, admitted the sad one, but all the other children sang a lot! The teacher asked them to sing their favorite songs, and they sang and they sang.

But she sang only once! Then they told her hurriedly to go sit down. Maybe you didn't know the melody, suggested the confused mother. No, she knew it, all right. Maybe, you didn't know the words as well as the other children, was the next placating suggestion. No, she knew the words, too.

And then the mother said, "Well, sing the song you chose, then." The pretty little mouth opened and out came a perfect rendition of an advertising jingle extolling the golden virtues of a golden brew, slightly alcoholic. For this she had been told to sit down at Sunday School. It wasn't fair! Film Inspires Youth Youngsters who saw "Greatest Show on Earth" were bitten witn various degrees of severity by the bug of the aerlelist's art after seeing stars of the show on the flying trapeze. One youngster, however did more than yearn after the chance to prform on the high bar. He asked for it.

Oatis Stephens, son of Mrs. Jane Gay Stephens, will have a "trap" and net and other equipment, including -safety devices, in his own yard, West Second avenue. An accomplished young tumbler with superior skill on the ground, he'll have a chance to prove what he can in the' air. His mother and Mrs. Berlin Compton, both former performers with the Gainesville Community Circus, hope to make the equipment available to other children of the community with supervision but without charge at regular intervals.

They will announce a schedule when the equipment, now being built in Gainesville, arrives and Is in place.
