Miss McLaughlin based her address particularly op the „, k "Tor- tured for His Faith" -written by Haralan Popov in which he told of his experiences as a pastor in Bulgaria where he was impri- soned for 13 years. Bibles were confiscated, discarded or burned. Christians were starved physi- cally and spiritually. Thisgave rise to secret meetings in -the pri- son, and upon Popov's release when he was broken and a mere shell of his former self, he. had be- come pastor to thousands of pri- soners. The country itself was like one vast prison, with every move scrutinized. Underground meet- ings held in attics, basements. or wherever it was possible to meet secretly, started a real move- ment of religious teaching ,and now there are Christians in Com- munist countries. Popov is now serving as a field director of Underground Churches. Following the closing prayer given by Miss Myrtle Deans, a social hour was enjoyed by the members.

Rei,. T. K. Hawthorn presided and read the opening prayers which followed the hymn, "Blest Are the Pure in Heart". Mrs. H. L. Jennings' topic was two -fold. The first part, "Showing the Kingdom" was based on the story of Christ's ministry of heal- ing and preaching as recorded in the first chapter of Mark. It was read by Mrs. R. McArthur.

As a result; many in- stitutions were built for its vic- tims, and the word "schizo- phrenia" was banned because of the fear it evoked. Instead, schizophrenics Were called men- tally ill, -emotionally disturbed, emotionally or mentally handi capped, or were said to have had a - "nervous breakdown". Regardless' of -what it was Called, the illness took its usual destructive • course, sending many to , jail for crimes` com- mitted while ill, or into foster homes, nursing homes, sheltered workshops, rehabilitation cen- tres„ and many other institution - type facilities. • This is still happening' today, 'but a •new day is dawning for those . previously c idered hopeless and chronic. . Schizophrenia is a bioche ' al illness which strikes mainly at the young,, destroys many lives by suicide or homicide, and totally destroys a human being's abilityy, to live normally. As an example of its impact on human beings, Dr. .Loren Mosher, Head, Schizophrenia Section,. National Institute of Mental Health, has recently reported that only 25 per cent of schizophrenic patients treated in the United States are ever able to work„ gainfully: This destruction bf human' be- ings is no longer necessary be- cause new treatment methods make it possible for schizophren- ics to recover and lead normal lives. The Committee on Therapy of the American Schizophrenia Association has 'reported that 90 per cent of the schizophrenics .treated by modern methods are able to return to their commun- ities and work productively. ' The CSF was formed two years ago to give accurate and up;to-. ,date information on schizo, phrenia,,and to dispel the myths that parents, families, and soci- ety are to blame, and that schizo- phrenia is hopeless. • ' You can help' it achieve itS goal of bringing a new world to schizo- phrenics and their families., where they can find the help they need in their own communities and at. little cost.
