An appeal that the church may be
human and friendly church was
made by the Rev. Clifton Merritt
Gray, at the First Uniterian church
text, Unto strangers forget not to
show hospitality, for thereby some
have entertained angels unawares."
Doctor Gray said: Among the vir-
tues of ancient peoples was the beau
tiful one of hospitality, which was ex-
tended even to foes. The fundamental
idea in ancient hospitality was what
we today understand as the brother
hood of man. We need more of this
spirit today of friendliness and bro
therly love- Would that we might
realize in this church that spirit of
true hospitality and broad humanity
which would reach out to every guest
within our doors with a helpful well
come of cheer and inspiration"
