principles con tinue to win great respect among the peoples of those countries says the Salvation Armys territorial commis sioner for Sri Lanka Eva Burrows who spoke at two Salvation Army services in Barrie Sunday told The Ex aminer Christianity has brought practical and sociological changes to Asian nations deeply entrenched in other religions Commissioner Burrows one of the Salvation Armys three women leaders is attending the twoweek International Policy Conference in Toronto COLLEEN IRVING clean it up think they should clean it up people did it so people should clean it up They will spend the money anyway so they should spend it on good cause native Australian Com missioner Burrows spent 17 years working as missionary teacher After sevenyear in terval as assistant principal and later principal at the In ternational College for Of ficers she started her work in Sri Lanka NEW CHALLENGES In that nation formerly Celon Commissioner Burrows encountered new problems and challenges from people who differ greatly from the Africans In Africa there is less development and cultural heritage said Commissioner Burrows They have no writ ten language and no established region Their religious beliefs are centred on ancestral worship Christianity in Africa is very readily accepted as fulfillment of mans searching In the Asian nations there is wellestablished lifestyle based in many cases on thousands of years of culture While the African is an ex uberant outgoing person the Asian is much more inner per son There are deeper wells within To understand these people requires sensitivity by westerner Sri Lanka is primarily Bud dhist said Commissioner Bur rows Hindus and Mohammed followers also outnumber the Christians who comprise about seven per cent of the popula tion But the presence of Chris tianity has influenced the na tion especially in the last 20 years The Christian Church brought education said Com missioner Burrows Sri Lanka now has the highest literacy ratein Asia The Christian brought hospitals childrens homes Although they may not con vert to Christianity followers of other Asian religions respect the Christian church for its motivation of compassion HRISTIAN INFLUENCE The Buddhists particularly have been quite influenced by the social outreach of the Chris tian Church There is now Young Mens Buddhist Associaton based along the same lines as the Young Mens Christian Associaton YMCA There are Buddhist homes for the elderly and Buddhist Childrens centres These are acknowledged as valuable outgrowth of the in Church and teraction of two religions Salvation Army missionaries and workers spend much of their time feeding Sri Lankas beggars There is tremendous amount of poverty There is large beggar class Unemploy ment is great problem Large numbers of people are destitute and hopeless COMMISSIONER RLRROWS spoke in Barrie Meeting the peoples present needs is not solution said Commissioner Burrows The Salvation Army funded by many outside sources runs development and educational programs One of these is farming cen tre where orphaned boys or youths from poor homes learn agricultural practices One of the problems in developing Third World coun tries where young people are moving to towns is an aliena tion from the soil and farm ing she said new program is the development of the water buf falo dairy industry In Sri Lanka the water buffalo is bet ter suited to the environment than western domestic cat tle These animals are suc cessfully raised for dairy products An indication of the establish ment of Christianity in Third World nations is the ap pearance of black African and Asian leaders in the Salvation Army That shows that the Salva tion Army is deeply rooted The leadership is now indigenous she said
