CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, March 26, 1959 “Missionary Spoke To AOTS On Asia And African Missions Speaking on the work of the Unjted Church Overseas Mis- -sians, Dr. Kenneth Prior, Field Seerctary, addressed. a ‘gathering of AOTS members and guests Friday at the Castlegar United Church, Dr, Prior's 30 years service jn evangelism, education, medl- ‘eine and agriculture’ while he and his wife were engaged in missionary work overseas, made -hhm.a logical choice for the pos- ition of Field Secretary of the Board of Overseas Missions when the new post was created in July, 1956. : His address covered a wide field of activities of the missions in Asia and Africa, ashe spoke first of the church work ip Soutn ‘Korea, where the influx of many destitute people has‘ caused ter- ritie suffering. South Korea, he said, is a land of war widows, orphans and maimed. _ As a result! of: the. terrible conditions, lack of. food and themes for these people, T.B. has #ecome a scourge even more to be dreaded than leprosy. ‘The Missionaries are working to thelr utmost to bring help in these terrible conditions, but many more men are needed, as well‘ as more money. for the werk. The Overseas Missions are working in Japan, too, where, sald Dr. Prior, “there is a mar- velous opportunity to witness,” There is a new era starting in Japan and “gq wide open door” fer Christianity. Dr. Prior point- e@ out only one in about 200 persons ‘in Japan are Christians, ‘put they had learned a bitter les- gen in finding their Emperor was not infallible after all, Many were ready to seek a true rellg- fom, and if Christian countries ‘would do their part, the. choice patos be for Shelstianlty: He felt felt, to teach the gospel of love to these people, who. have no homes, no clothes, no food. The Church in Indla faces terrible problems as well, he pointed out, India has a popula- tidn of 400,000,000, increasing at the rate of 5,000,000 a year. It is hard to face these star- ving people, with the knowledge of the food’*going to waste In North America, said Dr. Prior. “Ig it not a fact we are are clever enough to shoot satellites into space, but we have yet to find a way to get our surplus food to these needy people overseas?” Dr, Prior spoke with special feeling of the mission work in Africa,, which he termed “the world’s most explosive contin- ent.” It was in Africa that Dr, Prior’s 30 years as a missionary were ‘served, and ‘he mentioned briefly the various trouble, Spots of this: changing land. © “Africa is changing indus- trially as rapidly as it is politl- cally," sald Dr. Prior, The way of life for the native population has been changed. Many are wor- King in industry in‘the ever in- ereasing mining and industrial towns;springing up in what was fomerly wild bushland. A striking example is Cop- one"has seen at first hand the miserles and barbarous customs resulting from superstition and ignorance in primitive tribes, one ‘cannot belleve they are hap- pier In that state,” At the conclusion of his ad- dress, Dr, Prior showed slides, of the people and countryside in Angola, Africa, where he served for 12 years as an agricultural missionary, also of the copper raining centre in Northern Rhod- esla, described in-his talk. Rev. H. Pratt extended the thanks of all present for the in- teresting evening given them by Dr, Prior, wishing him, “God speed in the yor you are doirg for the church,’ Dr. Prior's career in mis- sions has’ taken him to many parts of the'world, since gradua- ting in 1926 from the University of Alberta with his BS.A, de: gree. He first went to Angola, where a part of his 12 year ser- vice was taken up as acting stitute. Transferred In 1938 to Niger: ia, to take charge of special rur- al activities, he was founder of the Rural Training Centre, Asaba, Nigeria, which was a joint Pres- byterlan,° Methodist and Angli- can Institution. principal of Currie Training In-] ‘ PTA Changes Meeling Night Executives of the Stanley Humphries Parent Teacher As: sociation have announced there ch 30, last Monday in the month, The decision to change meet- ing nights was made due to many members planning to be away: ‘on holidays during the Easter season. . The meeting will be. held on April 67 the first day of “back to school” after the holidays. ’ Main items on the ‘agenda will be a report from J. Paluck, delegate to the Butnaby conven- tion of Parent-Teachers Federa- tlon, which will be held April 1, 2 and 3, Of interest to many -parents, a discussion will take place cn the graduation banquet for 1959, and whether PTA will cater for this event as in the past. The entertalnment committee ways and means, will prepare a report on the recent carnival for presentation at this meeting. In i951, he was sent ‘on a special mission to Sudan, Ugan- da, Kenya and Tanganyika. He and his wife were award: ed and L.LD. ‘by the University of Alberta In 1954, and Dy. Pri- or received a certificate of Dis- tinguished Servite” by the Agrl- culture Missions, Inc. of ‘New York in 1955. Now a resident of Edmonton, Dr. Prior is still in- tensely active in the work of the church mission fields, even though officially retired. will be no regular meeting, Mar- |" A Spring Treat for Your Enjoyment.” « d in the K ys to Ke y tastes, by - ne Interior Breweries Limited Brewers of COLUMBIA BEER « COLUMBIA CREAM STOUT ‘ FERNIE BEER * KOOTENAY PALE ALE This adverti by the Liquor Control Board Columbia. per" Belt in Where there are 400,000 African workers and 44,000 European technicians in the new’ town, “We are living in a changing world”, he said, “of which we know little and seem to care less.” Canadians are introspective and parochial in their outlools,” yes, they can tell you whe won the hockey game or who is on the champion football team, but of world shaking events they know little.” today in the so-talled backward cory were doing nari The Ja- ‘Panese people need to be able to manufacture and export, as on- dy about 17% of the land is arable, and in this small portion live 57% of the population.

Dr. Prior felt the Japanese are. say- ing in effect, “Do we believe ‘what you say or what you do?” Another place where the Ov- erseas’ Mission people are work- img against terrific odds is in Hong Kong, which at the time ef the outbreak of the war had @kout 600,000 ppulation, and: has. meow increased to: 3,000,000!

Apartment houses hi ween built, and “if there are five ia your family, you‘can apply fer one room." It is indeed desperate, he the people who for- merly suffered in ignorance now know there is “enough and to spare — enough and to waste,” Dr, Prior stated. . He wondered if anyone reali- zed that the average load of city garbage if dumped in some places in Africa or India would cause a near riot, for the -amount of usable material and food the na- tive people would find im it, Dr. Prior pointed to the start- ling facts that while Ife expect- ancy’ in ‘North America is 64 to 70 years for men and women, in Africa one can look forward to 30 years, and in India ihe aver. age is 27 years. t In these days when “distance is covered so quickly, these trou- bled countries. with thelr masses of - starving’ ‘humanity | are: .no are right on .our doorstep, :he How * gan we get the message ‘through’ to ‘them before it Is‘ too laie?.. .
