A Nigerian student, Daniel Ebong, lights the candle which burned throughout the Fayetteville conference.

J. HE CANDLE is six feet tall and weighs 125 pounds.

Into it went wax from 1,554 candles that have burned in Methodist mis- sionary outposts all over the world. One piece came from an Austrian refugee camp, another from a candle used in the Belgian Congo at Christmas time. One glowed in 1923 in the kindergarten of the Hiroshima Girls' school. From Malaya, Japan, India, Panama—even from five Methodist con- ferences behind the Iron Curtain—missionaries have sent drippings, slivers and pieces. With the wax left over, a two-foot replica was made. The composite Missionary Fellowship Candle was molded by the Rev. Howard W. Woodruff, pastor of Watson Memorial Methodist Church, Independence, Mo., to symbolize the church's missionary outreach. It was first lighted last August at a missionary conference on Mt. Sequoyah near

Fayetteville, Ark. Since then it has burned at other conferences. These pic- tures were taken at the church in Independence, Mo. The candle also will be lighted at Buck Hill Falls, Pa., when the Joint Section of Education and Cultivation of the Board of Missions meets there January 9-24. "Our large candle was dyed red to symbolize the blood and fire of Christian zeal" says Mr. Woodruff. "Today our witness lights for Christ are burning in more than 42 countries of the world. This great candle brings us all together in one great fellowship!' * inT

Hospital Sojourn—Jr. Style

By CECILIA L SCHULZ

J_ O SAY "good-by" is to die a little, say the French, aptly. But one leave-taking which entails dying much more than "just a little" occurs when heavyhearted parents turn over to impersonal strangers a newly hos- pitalized child. To turn one's back on an ailing chick at the very moment when one most longs to offer the comfort and support of parental arms is to die not a little, but a little at a time! For the sick youngster, admission to a hospital usually includes a series of unpleasant features—departure from home, separation from parents, discomfort or pain, fright at being precipitated into an alien atmosphere, apprehension as to what may happen next! No use pretending, hospital sojourns are not fun for the kiddies. Not at the beginning, at any rate! However, there are ways by which thoughtful parents can ease the acute emotional distress of a hospital-bound child and make this separation more bearable for all.

Probably the greatest help is an example of calmness. The seasoned pediatric nurse will tell you that the sprigs she admits to her domain—excepting the youngest children—almost always take their behavior cue from accompanying adults. A poised, confident mother im- parts her composure to the youngster; an eye-dabbing parent, as a rule, has a terrified, struggling child to turn over to the nurse.

Having been pediatrically inclined for years, I feel

that I may call myself an expert at junior-version hos- pital admissions. My professional services are dispensed between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. Nocturnal hospital admis- sions are never casual. Emergency, or at least great

Says VICTOR G. REUTHER

V^OMPETENT opinion surveys made in states where the so-called "Right to Work" law is an issue show many

people think this law guarantees work. This is not true; the law does not assure anyone a job. What the law does is to prevent workers and employers from entering into union-shop agreements.

The cleanups in union affairs in these states have amply demonstrated why these laws are opposed by those corrupt labor bosses who rule by fear and who continue in office by rigging seldom-held elections. One of the most distressing situations I encountered during my term as president of the Chamber of Com-

Ohio. There had been a dispute in their local union. I never learned the merits of the issue, which apparently concerned union policy. This group lost and was expelled from the union. Under existing federal law, the railroad was compelled to discharge them. Because they had dared to act upon their convictions, and because federal laws contain no "Right to Work" provision, these men are forever barred from working

ALASKA is a land where one finds new skyscrapers and native huts, the kayak and plane, railroads and old

Indian trails. Its economy is based on fishing, lumber, agriculture, immense mineral wealth, gold, and a promis- ing oil potential. The Russians came to exploit Alaska as early as 1741. Missionaries of the Russian Orthodox Church first brought Christianity, and many of their onion-dome churches remain.

Little Boy Meets God

By ALLEGRA McBlRHEY

a'UR LITTLE BOY is beginning to know God. It is a great experience. He is beginning to know about many things—about climbing over the play-yard fence, about making peanut-butter sandwiches, about rid- ing a scooter, and about using a pair of pliers.

But he is not just beginning to know about God. He is beginning to know God.

To our little boy, God is very real —not a hypothesis, not a subject for debate, not even just a "supreme power." He is a heavenly father and The boy loved the toy dog. an earthly companion.

And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior."—Luke 1:46-47

jD URING my junior year at col- ^2Jp lege, I really learned what the spirit of Christmas means. In my first two years, I spent all the money I had earned and saved toward my education. Now, as a junior, I had to borrow what I could not earn. My sister, teaching school, was willing to lend me whatever I needed.ln fact, it was her custom to send me $100 and say, "See how long you can make it last." When it came time to purchase a few Christmas gifts, it seemed foolish to borrow money to spend that way. So I did not give a single gift. I do not recall that I ever re- ceived any more wonderful gifts than I did that year. My family and friends all knew the circum- stances and gave me clothing, books, notebooks, and a type- writer. It was a thrill to open so many presents, but the deep joy that usually accompanies the opening of gifts was missing. J realized for the first time that the real joy of Christmas comes in giv- ing, not in receiving. In our text, Mary has discovered the joy of Christmas, even before that first Christmas Day. She has discovered that the joy in living comes from giving. She is so happy about having given herself to be an instrument of God's will that she cries out, "My soul magnifies Kcrmit Long the Lord, and my spirit rejoices Phoenix, Ariz.

Looking for a hobby? Turn your imagination loose. These three Methodists have done just that; now read on to see what fun they've been having!

Hobbies, Unlimited!

M..RS. WILLIAM A. CHURCH has a peculiar hobby for an 84-year-old. She likes to dress dolls. But there's a big difference between the way she does it and the way it might be done by the girls among her 25 (at last count) great-grandchildren. She's won national awards for the crocheted costumes in which she dresses dolls to illustrate well-known nursery rhymes and fairy tales. Mrs. Church already was in her 70s and had won blue ribbons for crocheted tablecloths when she began looking for a new crocheting project. Her 3 daughters and 11 grandchildren had benefitted from her tablecloth skill. Why not pick something that would give extra-special pleasure to her great-grandchildren, too? That's how the nursery-rhyme dolls began. Mrs. Church, who earlier had shifted from knitting to crochet- climbs crocheted beanstal\ ing because it allowed more versatility, soon discovered A crochet -clad factf his to show Mrs. Church's prize-winning sliill. doll costuming the greatest challenge of all.

They took top honors there, first prize at the Indiana State Fair, and went on to place third in the National Crochet Contest. Since then, winning has be- come a habit. Her 1957 state-fair exhibit of Jack and the Beanstalk (pictured at right), Sleeping Beauty, and Beauty and the Beast captured the blue ribbon for toys. Last summer her entries in the same fair's contest for crocheted doll costumes won both first and third prizes. Even now, having created several dozen miniature tableaux, this nimbled-fingered hobbyist is busy making more. The most recent now are on special exhibit at the Swope Art Gallery in nearby Terre Haute. And Mrs. Church, an active Methodist for more than 70 years, still finds time to teach a women's Sunday-school class and participate in WSCS activities. Her secret? "Simple," she winks. "I never sit down idle."

LAST YEAR a Navy chaplain stationed in Puerto Rico asked Together readers to contribute "a few table- spoons of earth" from "as many locations as possible" all over the world [see Letters, December, 1957, page 5].

£2/ VERY YEAR for the last 10 years, when the promise of Easter comes to the land, a student choir from the Wesley Foundation at Ohio University takes the road and out of Athens. Once again this year these boys and girls will devote spring vacations to proclaiming in music the immortal story of the Resurrection. This picture story of last year's tour was developed by an alumnus, John Alter, Jr. Mileage Such choirs are integral parts of many of the 162 Wesley Foundations in U.S. colleges and universities. Organized and directed by students, they afford thou- sands of young people a chance to grow in Christian

Foundation program, which is train- ing thousands of students for future service in our church. In Athens, the Wesley choir serves once a month at both Sunday-morn- ing services of the First Methodist

Church. It frequently contributes, too, to campus religious programs for Ohio University's 7,000 students. The

Rev. J. G. Koontz, pastor, says the 250 members of Wesley Foundation at Ohio make up "an invaluable part of our church program, in addition to providing a splendid choir."

Proud "Papa" Nausner (right) and Austrian Methodist head Mayr

^JIVEN a white beard, plus that ever-present twinkle in his eyes, the Rev. Ernst Nausner could remind you oi Santa Claus. But he wears a black spade beard, and a lot of kids around Linz, Austria, will always know him as "Papa." He's the Methodist minister who built a bright new kindergarten out of old refugee barracks and a city dump.

It isn't a big school, but it cares for thirty children from three to six years old—and it is the first school and play- ground ever owned and operated by The Methodist Church in this war-scarred area of Upper Austria. Last summer a traveling member of Together's editorial

staff visited the kindergarten which is near the Caravan Methodist Church where Mr. Nausner has been pastor since he arrived as a refugee from Poland shortly after World War

II. You'd never recognize this smooth, sunny playground, once a field of rubble heaped around a deep crater. Now there are swings, seesaws, sandboxes, basketball and volley- ball courts. The old barracks have been transformed, rooms enlarged, newly painted and decorated. There are pictures on the walls and in the halls, and an airy note of cheer predominates from spotless kitchen to playroom. Down with the old and on with the new: Members of a As he conducted his visitor around the school, "Papa" British Youth Caravan stop in hinz, roll up sleeves, Nausner told how he had long been aware of the tragic put on new wallpaper, and shingle the barracks roof. aftermath of the war. Even in 1954, after most refugees had been resettled, camps with wooden barracks scarred the landscape. Moral standards continued to decline as family ties unraveled and poverty forced both parents in many

families to go to work, if work could be found at all. Children—particularly preschool children—suffered from lack of proper family life. Many small children in the neighborhood roamed the streets and countrysides from early morning until late afternoon. Why not, Mr. Nausner asked, build a kindergarten de- signed to provide rest, moral training, adequate diet and healthful recreation for these neglected children? He ap- proached Dr. Joseph Paul Bartak, senior member of the American Methodist Mission to Austria. "We have in our neighborhood a large city dump," he

suaded to advance liberal credit for materials. Volunteer workers from the congregation moved in to remodel the old barracks, to lay new floors, and make furniture. A work group of 37 American Methodists took over for three weeks that summer. The second Methodist Youth Caravan from the North Carolina Conference in two years arrived to plant grass, complete gravel walks, and to paint the interior. As word spread in the United States, more and more church groups began sending donations. When the kinder- garten was finalLy dedicated in September, 1956, Mr. Nausner had completed a $12,000 project at a cost of about $4,000. "The story of the kindergarten's growth reminds one of Jesus' parable about the mustard seed" says youthful Emil Paul John, a Methodist missionary from the U. S., who also played an important part in getting the kindergarten under- way. "Those who know Mr. Nausner best learn two things: essen ist fertig!" the coo\ calls out.
