For the large majority of the immigrants in colonial days, the religious im­ pulse was not present. The eco­ nomic motive—the desire for more of this world’s goods—was pre­ dominant. So far as can be ascer­ tained, when the Declaration of In­ dependence was signed, only about five out of a hundred of the popu­ lation were members of churches. Moreover, as thousands left the Atlantic seaboard and moved west­ ward, such slight association as they might have had with the Church and its faith dwindled. Early travellers on the frontier reported the seeming godlessness of the new settlements. Disregard of religion, the flouting of Christian moral standards, the absence of worship prevailed, whether by in­ dividuals, families, or groups.

SUBMITTING OR ADAPTING

Literal interpretation of isolated verses in the King James Version of the Bible has caused people to do many strange things. Handling poisonous snakes in the name of the Lord, practicing the holy kiss, insistence on Saturday as the true day of worship, abstinence from eating pork, and canceling insurance policies are a few examples. St. Paul's admonition for women to submit themselves to their husbands as the head of the house has .also suffered from overly literal interpretation. It reads: "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands" (Ephesians 5:22). Men have used this verse as leverage to impose their own unreasonable demands on their wives. By their own interpretation men have made this verse give themselves arbitrary superiority. This scripture has been used by some in an unscriptural way to gain selfish purposes. Whatever else Paul meant by this passage, he did not mean that husbands may arbitrarily command their wives to obey them without respect for their wives' own ideas and feelings. A more realistic translation says, "Women, adapt yourselves to your own husbands." The challenge for women to adapt themselves makes sense to thoughtful husbands who strive for mutual respect in their marriage relationship. What does it mean for wives to adapt themselves to their husbands? 1) First, a wife who adapts herself to her husband finds marvelous ful­ fillment in his achievements. One of the surest ways to bring stress into a marriage is for her to become a competitor with her husband. This applies to work, earning power, or any other area of married life. Of course, the opposite attitude is also devastating. The wife who withdraws from interest in her husband's work, fishing excursions, golf score, or new car is opening the door for her own private emotional problems, as well as added home stress. The happy wife is the one who has adapted herself to the interests and achieve­ ments of her husband. Wives should not become little nobodies without feelings and opinions. Certainly they can work and have careers. But even so, the happiest wives, generally, are those who have adapted themselves to the goals, purposes, and general way of life of their husbands. 2) Second, the wife who adapts herself to her husband is usually the person who keeps open the channels of communication between them. Research in human nature has shifted rapidly in recent years from adult problems which result from abnormal childhood to adult problems which result from a lack of a meaningful relationship with another adult human being. This "meaningful relationship" is based on open channels of communication. This means defense­ less conversation, emotional involvement, and the therapy of cooperative work and play. Iri the home, this "meaningful relationship" may sometimes invoive physical touch and even creative silence. 3) Third, the wife who adapts herself to her husband gives and receives strength through him. It is an old but true saying, "Back of every great man is a strong, effective woman." More than one husband who might have been ordinary has risen above the crowd because of the woman in his life. As a result of giving herself to her husband many a woman who has been otherwise uncertain and inadequate has found a new strength. This is the analogy St. Paul used; for as the Church receives strength from its Head, who is Christ, there is another kind of strength women receive who adapt themselves effectively to their husbands. "For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body" (Ephesians 5:23).

Companion studies on “Methods of Group Evangelism” and “Methods of Individual Evangelism” were present­ ed by Bishop A. W. Goodwin Husdon of London, England, and Dr. Richard C.

While disclaiming any methods that would “regiment and fashion every Christian into a common mold or carbon copy,” Dr. Halverson stated that evangelism is the calling of every believer. “There is nothing op­ tional about evangelism so far as the AUCA CONVERTS-Yaeti Kimo (left) and Komi Gikita, converts from the Christian is concerned,” he said. primitive Auca Indians of Ecuador, watch as Miss Rachel Saint, missionary translator, points to features on a Berlin street.
