Within recent months the
Methodist Church, through its
“Crusade for Christ” funds, has
spent one million dollars for re-
lief and rehabilitation among the
churches and church people in
Europe; but this, according to
missionary secretary, Dr. Ralph
E. Diffendorfer, of New York is
but a fraction of the moneys
that must be given in addition to
what Europeans themselves
give. “The resources of thous-
ands of European parishes will
be taxed for years to repair and
rebuild their damaged and de-
stroyed churches,” he says.
“Methodists alone need five mil-
lion dollars for this purpose. For
months to come there will be the
need of relief for refugees, dis-
placed persons and orphans, with
food, clothing and material aid,
a task which the church can nev-
er leave entirely to government
agencies. UNRA is finishing its
secular relief mission, but the
church must always be ready to
administer physical relief in
emergencies.”
The session of Congress during
last week was highlighted by
President Truman's address to a
joint session. The President
made a calm but dramatic appeal
for American aid to war-ravished

While returning from Fred-
ericksburg to Harper last Thurs-
day afternoon John Duderstadt
turned his Packard Coupe over
into a ditch adjoining the high-
way near the Honey Creek
school. According to reports, Mr.
Duderstadt was blinded by the
sun and, in attempting to avoid
an approaching car at the
moment, went off the highway to
the right, resulting in consider-
able damage to the car. Mr.
Duderstadt, who was alone in
the car, fortunately suffered only
minor injuries.
