TODAY Rev. Fred Haynes is
pastor of the more than century,
old Baptist church at Scion in
Central New York, a church
which, previous to his pastorate,
had been closed for the better
part of two decades. Although
blind, this young man conducts
services regularly every Sunday
morning and every Sunday night.
About so families form the
parish of the church, but so much
attention to the church has been
attracted by the energetic efforts
of the pastor that attendance is
increasing. Rev. Fred Haynes is
Showing the way"
Would you like to know his
story? 1t is a real thriller, in
which you find courage conquer
ing difficulties, and an abiding
faith in the love of Christ enrich
ing a life and spreading through
a community. 1t begins back in
1926.
Fred Haynes of Greene, Che
mango County, New York, is
drilling and blasting while at
work on the Faber estate of Cox
sackie. A charge of dynamite
explodes prematurely, tearing
away part of his face. Weeks fol-
low in which his life hangs in
the balance. Then the doctor in
charge tells the young man he
will live but twill never see
again."

The terrible injury, the shock
of eyesight lost forever, fail to
warp the young mans outlook on
life. Already firm in his religious
faith, he resolves to devote the
rest of his life to Christ. A few
weeks after recovery had been
affected, the young man had
learned Braille. But he had never
gone beyond grade school. There
was a hard road Of studious eff
fort ahead to attain his goal, the
ministry. He entered Columbia
Bible School in South Carolina.
There Rev. Fred Haynes met
the woman who is now his wife.
Fellow students, they completed
their courses together, caring
for two pastorates while stu
dents, his wife able to assist him
in many ways. For some time, in
evangelistic work, they Travelled
to different parts of the nation,
the young man becoming more
and more able in the ways of the
blind.
Discouraged? Sensitive about
his "disability?" Not the least
bit! With smiling assurance that
one need not be afraid of Offend
ing, Rev. Mr.. Haynes said re-
Gently: "I'm not sensitive about
my blindness. I'm far happier
without my eyesight than have
ever been in my life"
Happy in the care he receives
from his wife, whose own saga

YOUNG PASTOR SHOWS The WAY DESPITE Blindness

of Christian courage must not be
overlooked, they are both happy
in the love of their 3-year-old
daughter, Ruth. "They tell mo
she is beautiful as an angel" he
said. The little girl has golden
hair and blue eyes.
Income of the Haynes family
is modest. The young pastor
works continually. In their home
you would find the shelves, book.
cases, the table of his little study,
are all the work of his hands. He
has a Braille typewriter. And an
Old and New Testament, both in
Braille.
How does he prepare his SER
mons? He reads from the Braille
Bible. From certain passages he
suggests, his wife reads to him.
From this reading comes ma
terial to form a basis for his SER
mons. He writes each sermon out
on his Braille typewriter and
memories it. Thus armed, he is
ready to go into the pulpit and
carry on his fight for God and
the church.
During the week, members OF
the church open their homes for
"hymn sings" The young pastor
enjoys these gatherings, as do
residents of the area. Here, too,

Because l know that a capt.
tulation already has been dis
cussed by all your Generals.
IL Think" said she, "that
those lights are Continental
camp fires. Some fresh brigade
from below is guarding your
beaten army's escape to the
westward"
That was more than l could
endure.
"Do you know how to get to
Albany, Ma'am?" l demanded
coldly.
Perfectly. There is a sand
road yonder that carries one to

not embarrass you, let US ride
little on the Half Moon road to-
gether."
This is agreeable to me-"
said she in an odd voice, as if
my decision had relieved her
mind of deep anxiety.
1t was growing quite dark
when we rode out into a sandy
track running across a plain
between tall tufts of purple
grass. Only few scrub birches
and pitch pines broke the level
and monotony Of the scene.
But very soon the track
turned to the eastward and
came out on cleared hill
where a thousand camp fires
sparkled through the haze.
/ gave them one surprised
look, turned toward the east
and saw below me more camp
fires and the lantern-lit re-
doubts at Saltwater. And be-
hind me lay a Continental camp
ablaze with fires. md to my
left and northward, the army of
General Gates.
What despair was over
whelming me she no doubt di-
vined. She said not a word;
presently I pushed my horse
forward mechanically. No other
way was open. And even this
lay into the enemy's open jaws.
We were very tired and our
poor horses could scarcely
travel when a post of the AL
bany Light Horse stopped US on
the river road.
The Baroness Won Leasing
seemed to recognize their
young officer in The lantern
light, for she spoke to him by
name.
Presently he came over to
where l stood.

Then abruptly she drew

"Get off! Get off! she whis-

She was sobbing as she tore

to the ugly window saw the

quarrelsome among themselves.
Their drums and flies sound

cred their guns and their

When 1 went out into the
hallway and looked through
the front door l saw the fields
and river banks covered with
tents, wagons, horses, soldiers,
women and children - a vast
and gipsy-looking encampment
without design, formality, or
any seeming order at all.
The trooper on guard IN
formed me that these were
militia land levies from New
York, Massachusetts and Con-
necticut on their way home,

officers after the surrender OF

"Mr. Seadrift." said he very
politely, "the fortune of war
makes you our prisoner. A year
hence it may make us yours.
You have merely to pledge me
your word as a gentleman and

for more than a week.
The evening of that day /

the first time since | had left
Canada. All night and all the
following day l slept without
waking. A candle shining III my
eyes awoke me; a woman stood
beside my bed pleasant
faced stout farmers wife who
fetched me soupaan in a bowl,
some milk, bread, potatoes and
a portion of roasted butchers
meat.
She went away. l ate and lay
back again on my pillow. All
night l slept.
In the morning l discovered
a breakfast of milk and soup
aan on pine table near the
window; and a wooden tub of
water; a bowl of soap; razor,
and a towel beside it.
When | had bathed and
dressed and eaten | pulled on
my boots, took up my hat.
Then l ventured to try the
knob of the door. The door was

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2S.-Henry

German-American Bund which plans

morrow, was discharged as carpenter
at the Franklin Hospital today because
Of his affiliation with the organization.
In the absence Of supt. Frank

I'VE don't tolerate among our en-
ployes, who are all American citizens,
men in any organization of that kind.
I'VE had no knowledge Of Mr.. Lagos
affiliation until yesterday.
"Mr. Lage was called in conference
by the management and asked to
resign his membership. He refused
to do this. We told him he could
no longer be employed by Franklia

The hospital, owned and operated
by the German General Benevolent
Society, was founded in 1858 by a

I'm discharged, all right" Mr..
Lage said. II was given my choice
Of resigning from the bund or the

the bund.
II told the truth. The Con-
stitution of America entities us to tell

South and East Approaches to
Capitol Held Planning Need
Western Concentration of Building,
Improvements Thro,cs City Out of
Balance, Board Head Says.

visualize the Transformation that
could be effected here by proper
replanning. 1t must be remembered
that when it was proposed to put the
Lincoln Memorial on its present site
the most violent objections were
raised from those who saw only the
swamp that then occupied this area
and who could not realize the possi-
bilities that it presented.
In the same manner this area just
south of the Capitol offers potentiali-
ties Of a most tempting kind.
As the river front approach to the
Capitol 1t deserves most serious at
tention.
Atmosphere Historic.
A portion OF 1t is occupied by very
charming small buildings dating back
to the earliest days Of the City Of
Washington which might easily be
restored and made into delightful
homes for those who appreciate an
historic atmosphere.
Near the intersection of South Capt.
tol and M streets there is an excep-
tionally fine site for a monumental
structure, situated at a commanding
height above the river and dominating
the whole area.
At the intersection of Delaware ave-
nue and the river front is now located
the we'll designed group OF buildings
composing the Army War College.
This group is now completely isolated
from the city plan and has no ade-
quate approaches. Balancing 1t at
the terminus of New Jersey avenue
is a great factory.
The whole triangle between these
two avenues, symmetrically disposed
on both sides of South Capitol street,
requires serious study.
And lastly the northern approach
to the Capitol in turn demands at
tention. North Capitol street, an
other of the great axial streets laid
down by L'Enfant, extends to the
Soldiers Home, one Of the largest and
most important reservations in the
District of Columbia, located on a
height above the city. Here again is
q HoSt uHpoSHle Sltc LOT some I'M
portant monumental structure.
1t is true that this street and the
plaza between the Capitol and the
Union Station which forms its south
ern terminus have been all but spoiled
by the erection in a dominating posi-
ton Of the very unsightly structure
occupied by the Government Printing
ONCE, but it is not to be expected that
one brick building will be allowed to
hamper forever the inevitable develop
ment Of the Capital of the Nation.
Extensive Plan Needed.
1t is not suggested that the Gov
eminent should embark at this time
on extravagant expenditures to carry
out the improvement of these areas.
What is needed now is a new and
more comprehensive Mcmillan plan"
taking into account the future de-
velopment of the entire city. It may
require years and even generations
before all these districts are har-
monized and co-ordinated into
spacious and dignified whole. The
important thing is to create as soon
as possible definite plan to be fol-
lowed so that everything which is
done may contribute to the final
result.

would encourage the growth OF these
areas along the desired lines OF de-
velopment and stand as barrier
against the encroa chment OF undeslr-
able and inharmonious buildings.
The history Of the Mcmillan plan
proves this beyond question. II it
had not been for its existence, the
Mall by this time would have been
spoiled beyond hope OF recovery.
In the development Of such plans
for the city proper it should be kept
in mind that the problem OF the
approaches to the city from the ada
cent States is as important as that
Of the streets themselves. The Mary
land State Planning Commission has
made studies of the area between
Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis.
These studies should be extended to
the Washington Baltimore Frederick
area and the corresponding sectors In
Virginia so that the Capital Of the
Nation and the areas surrounding and
adjoining it may be included in a
definite, consistent and scientific plan.
That this will be done sooner or
later is beyond question. That it
should be done in the immediate fu-
ture is so important that its desira-
bility cannot be overemphaSized.
Sites Should Be Acquired.
It is also important that certain
properties constituting key sites, be-
cause OF their proximity to important
structures or park areas, should be
acquired at the earliest possible mo-
ment, as there is continual danger
that they will be built up with struc-
lures Of undesirable types and their
cost magnifled many times over what
it Is today.
We must bear in mind that in every
thing that is being done in Washing
ton today We are fixing the pattern
of the city, not only for the imme-
diate future, but for an indefinite
period to come. Our great Govern
ment structures will certainly con-
tinue to be occupied for generations,
perhaps for many hundreds Of years.
In visualizing what Washington will
become in the future, we must MAIN
tain as broad a point Of view as
L'Enfant had in comparison with
what it was when he found it, for
if we set too narrow bounds on our
ambitions for the future development
OF our National Capital. We will
