Easilawn Church
Has Grown In
Short History
Roy F. Clark. Pastor


Early in 1943 il became evident
that one Methodist church would
not take care of the denomina-
tons constituency among the new
families in the housing projects.
In June, 1913, therefore, an as
sistant joined Rev. E. w. Ulmer
at the First Methodist church for
the sole purpose of working in
the housing areas.
Just out of Gambler School of
Theology, Emory University,
Rev. Quitman c. Roberts, Jro
known to everyone as &C" had
a conviction that he must serve
these unehurched families in a
hurry. He began with a church
school for children, using tenn
porary teachers loaned by First
church. Six children attended the
first Sunday, but within four
weeks attendance had grown to
Sc.
Cottage prayer meetings were
held, calls were made on new
employees at the shipyard, and
plans were made for the organi-
cation of a new church. A lot
was purchased as was a second
hand tent. Six weeks after Mr..
Roberts arrival, the tent was
erected and the first service of
Eastlawn Methodist church was
held. Ten persons were received
into the new organization by
transfer that morning.
With an attendance of from
so to 100 people each night dur
ing the next week at revival
services there was no doubt of
the immediate success of the
new congregation.
But Eastlawn church was not
to have a record unblemished. A
storm tore the tent into shreds
and the group had no place to
worship. The next day First
Church provided $4,000 as the nu-
cIeus for a building fund for
Eastlawn. Work was started inn
mediately, and within seven
weeks a fine brick structure was
ready for services. At about the
same time Eastlawn Methodist
Church was declared by the
First Church an independent
body, with a membership of SO.
The success of Eastlawn church
is indicated by present statistics.
Two buildings now grace the two
large lots in the Eastlawn area
representing a total investment
of nearly $4,000. Membership
has grown to more than 200,
practically all of whom are ac-
tive workers. Church-school at
tendance averages 100. Two Sun
day morning services are neces-
sary to accommodate those de-
string to worship. The 8 o'clock
service is sponsored by the youth.
The week at Eastlawn Metho-
dist church is filled with activi-
ties for all age and interest
groups. It's regular worship ser
vices attempt to minister to the
spiritual needs of its members.
Youth organizations, recreation
al hours and boys and girls
clubs provide for the needs of
the young people. Eastlawn's
only plan for the future is to
reach an ever larger number of
Pascagoula's potential Christians.
The church's task is to secure
for itself a permanent place OF
service to those living in the
Eastlawn area

THAT TRIP TO MOSCOW
(Catholic Transcript

Monsignor Ready has called
Father Stanislaus Orlemanshi's visit
TO Moscow q political burlesque."
This estimate Of the affair Is cor"
rect. From beginning to end, IN
every respect, the trip outrages both
intelligence and propriety. Father
Orlemanski is plainly being used BY
the Soviet government as kind OF
Catholic facade for its unjust de-
signs on Poland. However, there u
no one endowed With rudimentary
common sense who cannot see thai
this free lance priest does not rep
resent the Church and has, by the
manner Of his departure from this
country, rendered himself suspect
TO ell American Catholics. -.
In the past Father OTlemanski
has written and spoken In Q man.

Union, which Is 0ffieially ethelstie,
He has been openly and severely cri.
teal Of the American Bishops, and
this IN trnculent, in6eed boaetful,

a simple one. He has pledged the British
governments support to the Greek king
and his new government, and has given
notice to the Greeks that domestic quar-
relS Of political nature must be put aside
until the enemy is defeated. In fact, it
Is such simple line of action that it seems
a great pity that it was not pursued
earlier. War has way of breeding in
ternal revolt when country Is losing.
1t happened in France and YugoSlavia
and Poland after the Nazis came. It hap
pened quickly in Italy after Sicily was
taken; 1t happened in Germany and
Austria Hungary and Turkey in the clos
ing months of the last war. History is
full Of similar examples.
But internal revolt Is not condition from
which to launch a counter-attack. It
has weakened the valianG resistance of
Greece, Jugoslavia and France, and made
pitiable situation even less bearable. It
will impede Allied success in the invasion
Of Europe unless it is quickly checked Yet
Britain and the United States are in posi-
ton to insist upon moratorium on family
strife until the NaziS are driven out Theirs
are the armies and supplies Of liberation.
Mr.. Churchill has shown the pattern
Of this insistence by his very reasonable
declaration that until country Is free
Great Britain recognizes the government
which existed in that country when war
began, the regime which began the fight
for liberation. If this had been done in
the friendly countries mentioned above, a
great deal of trouble and added burden for
the Allied command might have been
spared. But perhaps 1t is not too late, ex-
cept in the case of Poland to speed the
day OF victory by demanding unity as
first and mutually advantageous requisite.

The Governors of seven cotton-produc-
ing States have protested against the
inequality of railroad freight rates,
claiming that there is discrimination
against cotton products and advantages
favoring raw materials shipped from the
East The cotton industry Is demanding
economic adjustments, which in short
means balanced rates for the South. One
of the reports coming out of the South is
to the effect that Southern cotton is face
to face with competition Of substitute
synthetic articles for cotton. Evidently
the South is more interested in economic
than 1t Is in continued political hook-up
with the Administration. That's tn
progressive position to assume.

Something for the White Collar Bows

Senator Ebert Thomas of Utah has
spoken out once more for the real for
gotten man of this Wharf.-The white-collar
worker. Senator Thomas has been heard
before on the subject, since he is chair
man of the Senate committee which has
studied the plight of these fixed-income
workers Nothing constructive has yet
been done for them, and probably little
can be done while the debate over cost
of-living statistics RACES and no one knows
exactly how much of a beating these 20
million workers have taken.
But 1t is obvious that they have taken
a beating. Even as loyal an administra-
ton soldier as Senator Thomas admits
that they have been squeezed between
frozen incomes and rising prices. He has
recommended that the War Labor Board
at least remove controls on wages up to
5000 month for family heads and $3.50
for single persons.
Even before all the returns are in it
would seem that this can be safely done.
The white-collar workers are paying their
share Of taxes. Their food costs them as
much as 1t does the highly paid war plant
worker or executive. They are buying
War Bonds, too. And Senator Thomas
recommendation carries no threat of in
flation. Easing the ceiling as far as he
suggests would be nothing more than
common justice.

It is quite obvious that II Brad

expectation Is that 1t will be. its

Police Board

There have been many instances
wherein a corporate board made up OF
Individually capable men has been unable
to function capably as board, and we
now wonder, as do many Of the city's tax
payers, If such Is the makeup Of our
present board of police commissioners.
These present members all have been
proven, in matters Of private business, as
capable men. Yet as board their func-
tioning has been sluggish. No one ques-
tons their sincerity, but there Is much
questioning Of their manner OF procedure.
Meeting as an administrative board
for more than Ave months, this board by
its inaction rather than its action, so 1t
would seem, has reflected a picture OF
itself to the unadvised public that has
been interpreted by the latter as being
akin to procraStination and confusion.
For example, many have been the reports
OF the past few months, reliably founded,
of proposed promotions and changes
within the city's police department. These
reports have not been born Of the press.
They have emanated, in greater part,
from the board or circles closely allied to
it. Yet no action OH the boards part has
been forthcoming on any of these afore-
mentioned important moves. The result
has been the birth of an insidious growth
of uneasiness and unrest among all con-
Cerned.
Perhaps the trouble stems from the
conflict Of independently minded person.
alities. Perhaps there is too much con-
flsing outside pressure being brought to
bear. Whatever it is, it is not consistent
with the administrations or boards

within the city'S police department in

dispatch within the departments general

deavours Of these members and authori-
ties are of such as to reform the govern

Gibbons - Reform must come from
within; not from without. You cannot
merely legislate reform.

Some day the war will be over. We
shall be standing on the threshold of a
new world. At our feet will be unprece-
denied chaos Cities reduced to rubble.
Nations bankrupt. Little human intel
lects matching themselves with the
colossal problems which their follies have
created.
But reconstruction will be on the way.
Reconstruction is always in process. Wise
men are not waiting till the arniStice to
make their plans for tomorrow'S world.
They are making them now. Business is
doing it. Education is doing it. Our
government is doing it. The Christian
church is doing it.
The Chinese write tomorrow" as two
word characters meaning bright day."
Tomorrow's world will offer new oppor-
tunities, new challenges to those who
would enthrone Christ. It will be a more
compact world. Trade will be greatly
extended, and simplified. Communica-
lions will enable the nations and kindreds
and peoples, and tongues, not only to
eAlk with one another, but through tele-
vision to see one another in action.
In tomorrow's world, the Bible will be
within the sphere of effective use by tens
Of millions Of people, hitherto illiterate,
whose teachers have cured them of "book
blindness"
Tomorrow's world viii present stagger-
ing new perils. The points OF fraction
between nations, races, classes, and cul-
ture win be greatly multiplied.
Here lies the challenge to the Christian
church. In its hands is book. On the
pages Of this book lies good news-the
way Of salvation for men and nations.
IN the greatest Of all the centuries Eng
land, America and other Western nations
carried this book TO every continent, and
put 1t In the tongues Of all the great peo-
pies of the earth. Today the Bible has
become potentially the world's one book.
We who know and love Gods Word know
assuredly now, as well as we VIII ever
know, that the Bible viii serve as no

We always supposed that it took master
minds and great financiers to create and
outline international banking programs.
But if this plan of the United States
Treasury for the creation of 10 billion
dollar United Nations Bank for recon-
struction and development ever succeeds
it will be time to swallow those phoney
one-cent pieces that look like dime. In
the opinion of a great national business
mems organization "there is fear that the
proposed world bank might extend
credits to nations whose domestic poll
cies, fiscal, economic or political, would
not be on a sound basis. Majority con-
troll of the bank might be in the hands

possible-it is almost certainty!

MRS. ALFRED Z. SMITH
(New York Times)

It will be forty-four years tomor-
row since her marriage. The stroke
Is cruel. The long bright day Is
done" The survivors, sole consola-
ton is the deep religious faith and
hope that are his as they were his
wife's. Because he Is the best-be-
loved citizen of New York, because
his wife won the affection of many
friends, this is public sorrow and
we may speak of 1t. The life OF
these two seems like an idyl Of some
happier world.
She, too, was a Fourth Warder,
but her parents had moved up to
the Bronx. Young Mr.. Smith BIZ
cycled up there time and again. He
was a long time winning her. The
wedding journey was to Bath
Beach, where they lived for a
while. Then they came back from
Brooklyn to Madison Street. to Peck
Slip. The convent-bred girl washed,
ironed, cooked. scrubbed. swept. Mr..
Smith began his political career.
Thereafter whenever she could,
wherever he was speaking. she was
in the audience. After his eye had
found her he knew, as he said, that
"he was all right"
Whatever honors came upon him,
to whatever post he was called, she
was equal to any duty or fortune.
When he was candidate for Pres
ident the crowds In the cities which
she visited with him gave her q
friendly welcome. Whether she was
doing her own housework or mis-
tress OF that somber palace, the
Governors Mansion, she was serene,
living for her family, for others,
for charity, for her church. In the
turbulent stream OF events the Life
OF these two together Is q gracious
remembrance. The presses swarm
with novels and rOlnances. In none
can be found anything half as
pleasant and as touching as the
game Of cards that Mr.. and MRS,
Smith played every night before
bedtime.
