Northwest Divisional
W. M. S. Conference
At Lafayette Baptist
The Northwest Divisional
Woman’s Missionary Conference!
was held at the First Baptist
Church in LaFayette, on Feb. 13.
Mrs. Harry Looper from Dal
ton, presided for Mrs. Julian
Longley, divisional president.,
Mrs. Looper opened the meeting!
with the song “Oh Zion Haste”
afterwards reading the Scripture
from a translation of Romans 12.
Mr. Glendon McCullough, state
R. A. leader, spoke of the use of
visual aids such as maps, film
strips and slides. His advice was
to be thoroughly prepared before
the arrival of the audience by'
knowing the type of projector to I
be used, by having someone else
to turn the projector and by se
curing background material from
local sources.
Mrs. J. T. Alford spoke of col- 1
lecting curios as souvenirs for
mission study on any trips that
W. M. S. members might make.
She urged that the queerness of
people should not be stressed be
cause that would make us forget:
that all people have hearts Jesus
can use. She emphasized that at
titude determined whether some
thing is a vocation or an avoca
tion. She also said to never wear
a complete foreign costume un
less you are a missionary and
know how to wear it. Wear only
enough foreign items to suggest
an idea. Among the Mexican
curios shown were dolls, a
sombrero, cane chair, straw
burro, redwood tree burl made
into a small tray which suggests
that the healed part of a wound
makes us sweeter Christians,
serape, tablecloth and kodak pic
tures. Mrs. Alford suggested that
borrowing curios may pique the
curosity of indifferent members.
Mrs. F. M. Young suggested
that workers make their own
maps to show what they want to
teach. World map in the shape of
a pie teaches that the world is
round, 2/7 is land and 5/7 is
water. The idea may be develop
ed of “How many people came to
make America the Beautiful?”
"Whre did your ancestors come
from?” What bounds the U. S?
On a map of South America add
mountains, longitudinal and
latitudinal lines. Be sure your
map is up-to-date. Note that all
the U. C. can be placed in Brazil
with land to spare. In studying
Japan and Korea, note the num
ber of islands and the amount of
water. Note that on a 1949 map
Japan and Korea are different
colors showing they are under
different governments. There is
no substitute for information.,
Maps teach facts.
Mrs. Melvin Dennis talked of
publicity. She advised that mis
sion study should be publicized
by posters and advised that the
curosity of people should be
aroused. She advocated that
meetings be announced in local
papers and that street an
nouncements should be used.
Poster ideas included an alarm
clock, a time clock, a red flag, a
telephone, postal and post cards,
all aboard for a tour of the West
via mission series, Spanish
speaking American tour and an
exhibit of study books The idea
of "How big is your heart?” for
"He Loves Me Too” showing a
red heart with pictures of differ
ent peoples. For "Lo I Am With
You” Mrs Dennis suggested the
use of a photograph album with
pictures of missionaries. For
"Americans Too” she suggested
a church with a lifted roof,
showing Inside a teacher with
children and a fence with chil
dren of other nationalities out
side. For “Adventuring With
God” she suggested a Bible on
the Cross and Spanish people
Her sample poster for “Challenge
of the West" was made from the
buck covers of "Royal Service.”
Other Ideas were candles to show
light shining, bulbs to say “Arise
and Shine.” cap to say "Come.”
ring to be a proposal to come,
fiddle to say "Don't fiddle
around.” Color an outline map
as you study it. Show how big
the West is and how big is Its
opportunities. The February te-

LANHAM'S
WEEKLY
LETTER
* YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS
Billy Graham Reports on Korea
The last Thursday morning;
breakfast of the House and Sen-1
ate Prayer Group heard Billy
Graham the handsome young I
evangelist who has just returned |
from that war-torn country, give [
a most interesting talk on con- ’
ditions in Korea and the morale
of our soldiers there. To accom
modate the large number of Sen
ators and Congressmen present,
the meeting was held in the
Whitall Pavilion at the library
of Congress.
Soldiers Want More Ministers—
Not More Shows
Graham reported that the
morale of our soldiers in Korea
is high because of the system of |
rotation, the good food, the
wholesome entertainment and j
the fine spiritual program. He
emphasized that the men North
of Seoul are interested in more
spiritual matters than in shows
and other forms of entertain
ment, some of which Mr. Graham
reports, have been actually so
vulgar that many of the men
leave the place of entertainment
of their own accord. His report
was a most moving one. Actual
ly, I saw one stalwart young
Congressman with his hands
covering his eyes because tears
were streaming'down his cheeks.
He reported that the men under
stood what they were fighting
for but were anxious to get on
with the job and bring the fight- I
ing to a victorious conclusion.
Democrats Again Rescue Eisen
hower Program
Again it was the Democrats
who came to the aid of President
Eisenhower on his recommenda
tion that Federal aid to schools,
where there has been a large in
crease in attendance because of
Federal activity in the school
district, he continued and ade
quate appropriations made for j
their support. The Republican- i
controlled Appropriations Com
mittee, without any regard for
j the President’s recommendations I
eliminated $24 million which'
had been requested by the De
partment of Education and the
Budget Bureau to help such
schools. It was an up-hill fight
for those of us who realize how
absolutely essential this money is
if the federally impacted school i
districts are to operate at all. |
Without this money, Cobb Coun
-1 ty would find it quite difficult to
operate its schools for the full
term of nine months. The same
is true in Catoosa and the aid
I has been of help to both Polk
and Floyd Counties. All of the
Georgia delegation present in
Washington at the time, worked I
as a unit to get the appropria
tion restored. I am happy to re- j
port that w’e are successful.
All of us favor budget-cutting
and tax-reduction but we re-
sue of our mission magazine
shows posters. Look for ideas in
I "National Geographic.” A hand
with a string around a finger
could say "Don’t forget.”
A short playlet entitled “Two
View Points’ was presented by
Mesdames Young and Dennis
and Miss Janice Singleton.
The audience divided itself
into groups according to varied
interests with a different state
leader for each group. Miss Jan
ice Singleton, state executive
secretary, directed the discussion
in the group for W. M. S. presi
dents. She suggested that in or-;
der to bring the Instructionj
! closer to the people the state I
leaders Invited a public school :
. teacher in Atlanta, Mrs. Aurelia
। Davis, to discuss methods of
! teaching with them. Mrs. Davis
stressed the fact that there is no
teaching without learning and
, that "Words are the skins of
ideas.” Be careful to have ideas
or words will be dry empty skins.
Mrs. Davis said that teachers
much use books in the plural
sense Teachers must read more
, than one book, must overleam
and must be full of knowledge.
' Since teachers should know their
pupils they should be taken from
the group. Do not send away for
teachers. Basic needs for teach-
I ing are love, attention, security
and attainments. Tests give one
form of attainment and can be
mimeographed true-false ones,
puzzles, etc. Parallel books for
study might be the rest ot the
series or others found in the
leaflet, “The World in Books.

r
New Administration Faces
Courageously Its Unpleasant
Responsibilities
President Eisenhower is to be
commended for his courage in
refusing to endorse the bill to
cut income taxes being sponsor
ed by the Ways and Means Com
; mittee under the leadership of
! the reactionary Congressman,
I Daniel Reed of New York. In
spite of campaign promises made
by some of his supporters that
immediately the budget would be
balanced and taxes reduced,
President Eisenhower and his
chief advisers have faced square
ly up to his financial facts of
life. Three courses were open to
him. He could have taken the
position that the budget should
be cut in spite of what might
happen to the national security;
he might have fallen in with
those of the House who want to
slash taxes without any regard
to the budget, thereby piling up
a huge deficit: or, he could do
what he has done and that is to
consider first of all our national
security, at the same time mak
ing every effort to eliminate
what waste there is in govern
mental operations including that
in the Armed Services. It is en
couraging to see that he has
chosen the hard, but the only
safe, way. He has in effect, re
buked those in his party who
acted so irresponsibly in the
House Committee on Ways and
Means in reporting a tax-cut be
fore any reduction has been
made in the budget. Members of
the Democratic Party on this
Committee must bear part of the
responsibility, for only one of
them had the courage to vote
i against this untimely tax-cut
bill and that was our own Albert
Sidney Camp of Newnan. He, as
' all members of the Georgia dele
gation, favors tax relief but he
; was unwilling to assume the ir
responsible position of cutting
taxes before it is known how
much we can cut expenditures.
Politically, it may be expedient
to vote for such tax-cuts but it
is not wise in view of the dan
gers that we face as a nation.
Visitors
Some of our recent visitors
। have been: Mr. M. C. Pitts, Al
j bany, Georgia: Mr. J. E. Morris
i of Cedartown; Col. W. H. Boshoff
of Winston; and Mr. Tom
Willingham and Mr. Louis Sha
han of Rome.
A goal may be chosen from the
theme of the book to be taught.
The fact was emphasized that
people learn slowly so It isn’t
wise to rush the study of a
book. Much material must be
presented to glean a few facts.
Mediums of achievements are by
homework, textbooks, achieve
ment charts, lectures, visual aids,
panel discussions, round table
discussions, questions and an
swers either prepared or im
promptu and projects. Subjects
for round table discussions could
be Prayer, Stewardship, etc.
Questions may be either thought
provoking or factual. In teach
ing Christ used parables, preach
' ing. questions, personal, Informal
conversation and ordinary object
lessons as a child.
Ideas are caught rather than
taught. Prejudices are drawing
conclusions without facts. Teach
conclusions without facts.
Teachers must be open-minded,
tactful, use a little sandpaper
sometimes Instead of oil, happy,
cheerful and willing to give of
one's self.
The opening sentence of "The
West is Big" draws out atten
tion. “The West is an adven
ture." Early people who went
West were Abraham. Paul and
Columbus. In teaching this book,
space can be shown by maps.
Eight large mountain states
have 2% of our population can
be thus shown. People are still

too. Use curios to teach home
life.
Plans are being made for next
fall’s Season of Prayer. The
theme will be “The Eyes of the
World Are Upon You.” Dr.
Garner is the author of the book
to be studied called “Let’s Lis
ten.” Other forthcoming books
are “Sixteen to One,” “As Oth
ers See Us,” “My Two Countries,”
and “My Two Sandals.” In 1956
the study will be “India,”’ in 1955
“Mission In Outposts," and
in 1954 “Neighbors Os Many
Tongues.” Dr. Garner tries to see
what other peoples think of the
U. S. Seek goals of books in their
preface. We must take a more
humble attitude especially
among the Japanese. The special
emphasis of this year is Steward
ship with October as the speci
fied month for its study.
Each person brought her own
lunch but Mrs. C. W. Wheeler,
president of the LaFayette W. M.
S. invited everybody to the
church dining-room where the
LaFayette ladies served coffee
two kinds of cake and extra
lunches for those who needed
them.
The W. M. S. presidents reas
sembled in the auditorium at
1:30 with Miss Janice Singleton
presiding over a round table dis
cussion of characteristics of
learning. There was a diversity
of opinion but the writer took
the view that adults learn more
quickly than children but chil
dren remember better. A good
book on the subject is “Teaching
Adults in the Sunday School.”
Adults are not so impulsive or
self-centered as children , but
they need to learn from children
to be trusting, dependent on
God, teachable, reverent, affec
tionate, guileless, and unrace
| conscious. The purpose of adult
education is inspiration and in
; formation. Adults like flowers
; differ as daffodils and honey
। suckle. In teaching take people
I where they are and as they are.
i Recognize the basic needs as
love, etc. Adults still have the
capacity for romance, idea to
change and must not be too busy
to serve. Think “I’m going to
teach these women” rather than
“teach this book.” Adults study
little because they have forgot
ten how. We need motives to en
courage study and these may in
clude to teach, to take part in
activity and to expect the group
to study. Teachers must pray,
know the material, know people,
find and make attractive sur
roundings, use an interest center
such as maps, flags, curios, and
center attention on a place and
an object of Interest. A good be
ginning is Important because it
lends confidence to the class.
The W. M. S. Achievement
Chart was explained by Miss
Singleton and Mrs. Dennis. It is
a plan of work for mission study
with a leaflet for study. Point
one on this chart concerns Or
ganization. It points out to the
value of a church council com
posed of the pastor and super
intendents of the various de
partments, who meet to discuss
plans and avoid conflicts in
church engagements. A mission
study committee must function.
Point two concerns mission
study books with the lecture, the
relay, the intensive and the ex
tensive modes of study. Look at
your classes. Only one lecture
method class can count. Use an
other method for the other class
es.
Point three deate with mis
sionary reading, mission books,
organize a Y. W. A. book club,
learn the O. A. Forward Steps
and the R A. Ranking System.
Participation is the subject of
point four. Schedule a school of
mission, correlate church activi
ties, organize study courses.
Speak up. Tell your pastor you
want to take part.
In point five we are concern
ed with fostering young people’s
organizations as the Y. W. A„
O. A. R. A. and Sunbeam Band.
Meet the points on their stand
ards.
Point six says "Step out to a
Mission Study Institute.”
In point seven we find mis
sionary projects. Every person
could write to a missionary on
her own birthday, not expecting
an answer. Plan a missionary
bulletin board for the whole
church using fresh materials
each week.
Mrs. Looper invited Mr. Mc-
Cullough to make the concluding
talk on the program. He told of
being asked in Japan, “What is
a missionary? Who sends them?”
He said he explained that a mis
sionary is a person sent on a
mission. They are sent by Christ.
The ones he came to visit were
paid by the Southern Baptist
Convention. They are really
ambassadors for Christ because
they interpret the message they
carry.
The afternoon’s program
closed with prayer at 2:45 p.m.
