Missionaries "Orphaned" By War By REV Z. T PIEPHOFT Pastor. Presbytoriaa Cfcareb The distressing plight of the mis sionaries sent out by the Protestant Churches of Europe should claim the concern of Christians of Amer ica. As early as October. 1939. the International Missionary Council sent out warnings of the perilous condi tion of the overseas Missions of the countries that were at war. Since then the situation has grown increas ing acute as more countries have be come involved and the overwhelm- i ing character of the conflict has de veloped. ?The very countries in Europe hare- - tufore most active m missionary work ~ are those directly affected by the war, particularly England, Ger many, Denmark. Norway, Holland. Belgium. France and Finland. Of [the $5,250,000 contributed annually ] to the support of Foreign Missions by the Protestant Churches of Con i tinental Europe, about $4,000,000 has come from the churches of countries I now at war. Naturally there has been I a sudden and drastic decline in the giving of these churches. Congrega tions have been scattered. The sup port even of local work has become difficult,_g.nd gifts to missions have had to be materially reduced or dis continued altogether. Distressing conditions have devel oped among the missionaries of these churches. Some are stranded in far away lands, many are subsisting barely above the levels of starvation, thousands of native workers have been cut off, schools and hospitals have been forced to close. Writes a missionary from Mada gascar "We are practically cut off from the outside world at present . . Com munications with Paris practically ceased on May 30 when the last air mail was received At that date the Paris Mission had in hand only some 3.000 franc (about $90) . The staff on the field includes 14 clerical mis sionaries with 40 children depend ent on them. 11 single women mis sionaries and three nurses: in all 42 adults and 40 children. "At present none of us know when fuhds will be transmitted regularly again, so we have to live from hand to mouth. In the meantime we should like to express our warm gratitude to the International Missionary Council for thinking of the situation out here and seeking to relieve it." I)r A. L. Warnshuis, secretary of the International Missionary Coun cil. estimates that approximately 4. 000 missionaries sent out by the European churches are, now bereft j of support. It is indicated that at least $2,000,000 a year would be re- ' quired to provide these missionar ies a meager living and take care of the most vital parts of their work on a minimum basis. The collapse of the work of the Protestant Missionary Societies of Europe would constitute a major calamity for Christian missions. In certain fields particularly, the pro portion of Continental and British missionary work is very high. For example, one-third of all the mis sionaries in Manchuria come from the Continental societies, and almost one-third of the personnel of the China missions is British. In each of the following countries, Mada gascar. French Equitorial Africa. Netherlands Indies, and Southwest Africa, more than. one-half of the missionary force is composed of representatives of the Continental societies. In the Netherlands Indies 80 per cent of the missionaries are from the churches of Protestant Eu rope. The International Missionary I Council is urging upon the Christian | churches of America the necessity 1 of acting quickly to meet this emer gency confronting the Missions of j European Protestantism. It is point ed out that the churches of the Unit ed States and Canada are the onlyil ones today left free and untrammel ed, not weighted down by the bur den of war. It is thus upon the churches of America that the chief responsibility for the world ^mission ary task rests today. Already many of the American churches are moving to help. The ' Lutherans have raised $225,000 in ?' one appeal and are now engaged in an additional campaign for $500, i 000. The approved goal of the North ern Baptist Convention is $500,000 I Southern Baptists are planning to I | raise $200,000. More than $130,000 l, has already been contributed by the i Methodist General Conference in an J early summer appeal, and an addi tional effort was launched in Octo ber The Presbyterian Church, U S A., the Reformed Church in Am erica, the United Presbyterians and others are all taking steps to offer I relief.

Concrete is easy to maintain?saves the taxpayers real money." Real money is right! Concrete roads cost $71 to $493 per mile per year less for surface maintenance than other pavements. Less to build than any other road of equal load carrying capacity. Less to drift on than lower type pavements. ? ?- ? ? - - PORTLAND CEMENT ASSOCIATION State Planters Bonk Bidg., Richmond, Ve.
