Prayer proved to be the de ciding factor that saved the life and' salvaged the career of Ruth Brown, so states the young rhythm and blues singer in a by-line artide which appears in the February issue of TAN. The recording star's career^ definitely on the upswing,’ was tragically interrupted by an automobile accident which camc near ending hfer career and life the night before she was to make her first appear ance at the Apollo in New York. This appearance would have been the fulfilment of her long cherished dream. Instead, the 20-year-old Virginia lass found herself encased in plaster casts in a Chester, Fa., hospital where she remained - -for 14 months. While in the hospital Ruth lost the Idve of her trumpet- playing husband and also found herself faced with the grave possibility of never walking again. Such a disappointment and frustration, as being denied a top-flight singing career af ter almost reaching the top, would have killed a weaker person. “The year that followed was a dark one,” she said. “The only brightness that entered my quiet room was the peace of mind that comes with earnest prayer.” When she finally left the hos pital, with her legs encased in steel braces, walking on crutch es, and bolstered only with warm determination and pray er, Ruth began to inch her way back up the ladder to success.

America and Africa mobili zed “with an idea to win the world today”-this theme struck fire at the World Assembly for Moral Re-Armament this morn ing at a session chaired by Dr. Frank N.D. Buchman, as states men and youth voiced their Irrevocable commitment to answer^" divisive materialism In the world and remake men and nations under God. “Change is coming fast,” Dr. Paul Campbell, formerly of the ^enry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Ibid the Assembly. “The way we have lived has had its day. We are going' to be changed either by Communist revolu tion or the renaissance of Moral Re-Armament.” “MRA offers the millions across the world today an Ideology superior to Commun ism because it promises and ia creating change on a world scale. It is economic change, it is political change, it is ^hange between the races, and it is change between the nations. And we have the evidence here day after day. “We have a chance together to be a force which can funda mentally affect the course of history. It will come through a very simple decision—the de cision which will transform- us from people of good will and good works and complete inef fectiveness, by and large, Into men and women who are effec tive for change in people and a change in our society." A Cabinet Minister, Midhael Ogon, Under Secretary of Lands in Eastern Nigeria, brought the six hundred delegates from 40 nations to their feet as he pled ged that God-led African states men would carry the answer for Red China into the fourth-com ing Asian-African international conference in Indonesia. “We have an explosive fer ment in our people,” he said. “But it is not too late. Leaders who live MRA can make demo cracy work and will save Af rica. In the war of ideas today only an Idea that reaches the heart will satisfy Africans.” He told 6t task forces which Dr. Buemnan, Initiator of MRA, had seOTKgBross Africa and Asia, The Tolon Na in his colorful robes, leader of one and one ~half million Muslims and Gold Coast Member of Parliament, told the auditnce of his coming to Washington because of his conviction that America “can give this ideological answer^ to my country and the world. MRA settled a political crisis in our new-born parliament,” he said. “It is doing for Africa what Abraham Lincoln did for America.

That comes first. We make no resolutions but have decided to give everytKlhg; no longer out for ours^ves.’’ Among them, Saami Contrac tor from Bombay declared, “MRA unites East and West be cause it changes both.” And Korea war veteran Van Wishard of Washington saidH “Dr. Frank Buchman has offer ed our generation an ideology above class, race and point of view. It is the only relevant way to usher in peace, prosperi ty and renaissance.” SATUSQAT, JAW. U, 1»M W* CAJMMJIfA WMM fAOB POUO VACaNE The trial polio vaeciae wu dereloped ky Dr. Jonas E.
