 Nine and One-Quarter Hours

fuchipa, Cal, June 2. (AP)-- virtually all Of the i30 members Of the First Methodist church were present when the Bible reading mar. athon was completed last night in ,6s t-4 hours. z ''.
 The reading started last Saturday at midnight, and at e;i5 o'clock last night the last reader in the unusual relay intoned the grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all Amen" the last verse of the Book Of Revelation.
 In addition 10, the members of the congregation, many persons from other communities were. present and all joined In the reading of the last few verses of Revelations.
 After the reading, the Doxo,ory and other sacred songs were sung. Some of the congregation had read or listened for more than 50 hours.
 Attendance Jagged at times, espe- cially during the small hours Of the morning, but usually there were from a dozen to thirty men and women waiting in the church for an opportunity to read their share of the sacred text. The tongue-twisting proper names of the Old Testament slowed up pronunciation to such an extent that for a while the marathon was three hours behind schedule, but on. the faster track of the New Tes- lament nearly all this time was made up.
