...career was not enough, and during the Depression, Adam Powell emerged as a Negro nationalist and a skilled leader. He helped establish a church relief program in Harlem, dished out a thousand free meals a day in the church basement, quickly became a civic mover and shaker. He early recognized and utilized the latent strength of Harlem, was able to force such commercial giants as Liggett Drug stores and Consolidated Edison to employ Negroes. When the New York Telephone Co. balked at his demands, Powell threatened to disrupt the system by instructing his followers to dial the operator for every...
...whites, the physical wounds were light-amounting to some 30 injured policemen. Out in the wine-growing flatlands of Cape province or in the sheep-raising Karoo plateau, where the small villages are dominated by steeples of the Dutch Reformed Church, the Nationalist farmers had scarcely noticed anything wrong.

ASIA shows a drop of North American Protestant missionaries, under Communist and nationalist pressure, from 9,327 in 1925 to 6,919 in 1958. U.S. Roman Catholic missionaries are up from 1,305 in 1940 to 1,918 in 1958. Japan has proved one of the hardest countries to Christianize in Asia; despite an all-out effort, only .6% of the 92 million population are members of churches, split about evenly between Protestants and Catholics. LATIN AMERICA is nominally Roman Catholic, but "even by the most generous estimates," says Maryknoll Father Albert Nevins, "only about 10% can be called practicing...
