That conviction of most people is also the strongly held belief of the State Child Welfare Department, which each year must take care of hundreds of homeless youngsters. Children from homes broken by divorce or death or poverty as well as babies born out of wedlock all may become the responsibility of the state. FIRST STEP is the State Home for Children in University Place at Lincoln. Somts philHrpn stay there. W.

Stanley Good, chief of the State Child Welfare explained: "The whole program is geared to the needs of th rhiiH children need the group living mat wey can get in the institution. For instance, a rhiiH has been taught to steal by his parents is better off with a group of his own aee for while than going into a home."

and p.m. Clouse, superintendent of the Children's Home, thinks a child would be better off in a home the foster Care Unit of Good's department goes to work on the case. Right now the number of babies coming into the hands of the state is quite small, Good said. Placements by unauthorized persons, the closing of the Mil ford Home for Unwed Mothers, and the fact that unmarried mothers keep their children are all reasons why the "supply" is small. AS OF July 31 the Foster Care Unit had a total of 106 children in various stages of adoption.

Of these 79 were less than 7 years old; 23 were between 7 and 12 years old; and four were between 13 and 21 years of age. "We believe most children have the best chance for normal growth if they can be a part of a family system. Short of complete adoption into a family, we find that the boarding program can often meet the needs of a child," explained Good. Under this system a family News Danish Brothers To Meet Here Svend Petersen, national president of the Danish Brotherhood, will speak at a banuet following the annual general committee meeting of the Danish Brotherhood Nebraska Lodges Saturday at the Lincoln Hotel.

11 To' Koeppe, guest soeke, 1 1 iw 0 IQi for assuring they will become normal adults, Miss Ross said that special efforts are made to find homes which will take handicapped children. Homes, too, are needed for Negro and Indian children. "WE HAVE an extensive Negro program now compared to what we had a few years ago. But I can assure you it is the result of persistent hunting to find good, willing families," said Miss Ross. All of this is aimed at caring for these homeless children to see that they get a normal life to become adults who can easily take their places in society.

So it is with particular pride that the Unit watches these youngsters become self maintaining. After hih school boys get work, girls go into nurses training, and other fields, and become self supporting. Or lads go into the armed forces. On July 31 there were 29 youngsters not yet 21 who were making their own financial way completely. "I'm pretty proud of them." said Miss Ross.

The state pays a boarding foe to the family.

There is a $50 ceiling on this and the average payment is now about $43. Clothing and medical costs come extra. ON JULY 31 the Unit had 105 youngsters in boarding homes. Of these 18 were under 30 between 7 and 12; and 57 between 13 and 21 years of age. The Unit's biggest problem in this field is getting enough families.

"We want homes where the parents are mature, tolerant, and have warm personalities. We seek persons who really like children and who can teach them good work habits, good manners, and ways to fit into society. WE ALSO LOOK for the religious affiliation. We see more and more that the religious aspect in a child's life is quite important," explained Good. Homes for older children, particularly teen agers, are needed most.

"But they're picking up strength now." For two decades, up to World war II, rural churches in America were closing at the rate of ebout 1,000 a year. Hundreds continued to fall by the wayside up io i you. Many still are in rkol.i.

111! cuanjr uuncuuon. "BUT I don't think many more will be lost," said Don E. Pielstick, head of the town country department of the National Council of Churches. 'What we lose one place, we now are gaining somewhere else. see quite an encouraging day ahead, with new programs and a new type rural minister.

Rural America is going to be better served by its churches during the next 10 years than ever before." A big factor in curbing the casualty toll has been the development by nearly all major denominations of intensive, national programs to pump new life into the faltering rural churches. ALL KINDS of techniques, plans and strategies have been put into action for waking up the sleepy little church at the crossroads. Social researchers have canvassed the countryside. Seminaries are channeling students into the rural ministry, not just as a training ground, but to make a profession of it. Financial aid has flowed out from city headquarters.

Rural church federations have popped tip all over. Conferences and seminars to guide co preachers have become about as numerous as weeks in the year. A SERIES of stunning blows combined to kill off more than 20,000 rural churches since the 1920's. Mechanized farming shrank rural population. So did the depression and "dust bowl" migrations.

Cars and good roads made the nearby church less essential. Defense indust i also sapped farm life. Population movement to the cities still ii going on. Other influences, authorities faid, also hurt the rural church. Poor preaching.

Lack of money. Too little planning or leadership, and a resulting indifference and weak church morale. HE LISTED these kev means for giving a poor rural church stability: A good building; systematic financing; a list of prospective members in the community; an all around program for all ae groups; lav officials to run the church, rather than the minister alone; a sound parish organization often in conjunction with other churches; good community relations, and a theologically well grounded pastor. Son of Pastor Guest Minister The Rev. David M.

Evans, son of a former pastor of the Second Baptist Church of Lincoln, is to be guest minister at the church this morning and next Sunday. He will be taking the place of the Rev. E. E. Smith, pastor of the church who is now on vacation.

At this time the American Methodists still considered themselves a society within the Church of England. Their leaders were not Church of England ministers and therefore did not claim to be clergymen at all.

The War of Independence changed this, and Asbury was glad to lead in the change. Wesley had said "Who leaves the Church of England leaves us," but when Asbury was elected general superintendent of all American Methodist groups in 1784 he began at once to call himself a bishop and to ordain ministers. The people were in the mood for independence of everything English, and the Methodist Church as a separate entity became a fact. Asbury was perhaps the most tireless missionary traveler since St. Paul.

On horseback he ranged many times from New Hampshire to Georgia, preaching, organizing and ordaining, until his death in 1R16.

She also is known for ner discovery of the Cross on which the Lord died. Her rise from obscuritv beean when a handsome Roman officer fell in love with the inn keeper's beautiful daughter. The two were soon married.

Thev had a son, whom they named Constan tine. But when the husband had risen to the point where he was one of three ton men in the gov ernment, he divorced Helena and married a wealthy and prominent woman. And that is where he made his greatest mistake. The boy Constantine was even more successful than his father. Constantine did not stop at be ing one or three running the Empire he became the emperor.

And he broueht his mother to the palace with him. He had be come a Christian, and he soon converted Helena. Helena set off in 326. when she was nearly 80. to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

of course. But no man gets to be a saint because of his affection for his dog. It was Bernard's courage, his energy, his tireles work for the Church, and his tremendous devotion to the Lord that put him in the calendar of saints. When Bernard realized that he was called to the monastic life, he never for a moment thought the call applied to him alone. By the power of his persuasive tongue he took 30 friends with him to the monastery.

Before he died he had started and filled 160 new monasteries. It was said that "mothers hid their sons, and wives their husbands' when they heard that Bernard was coming, for they knew that all who listened to him would follow him. With the same power he went about Europe in 1146 organizing the Second Crusade. When the Crusade was a failure, though certainly not because Bernard had not produced plenty of recuits, it was the greatest disappointment of his life. First Methodist HUliop Also Aug.
