The Centennial Baptist Church
congregation worshipped in many
places before coming to its present
building at Seventh and ! streets
NE.
The original group, composed of
18 former members of the Mary
land Avenue Baptist Church, first
gathered in the home of DR.. Edgar
Speiden, jr,, at $40 Elliott street
NE. Here they held Sunday school
and prayer service. Here, too, the
church was formally organized
March s, 1902. The name "Centen-
nial Baptist Church was suggested by
Edgar Speiden, sr., as the church
was organized in the Tooth ami
versary year of the founding OF the
first Baptist church in Washington.
The group next met in the home
of Mr.. and Mrs George H. Boyd,
1855 Morse street NE. Further
growth of the congregation necessi-
tated splitting the members in two
sections. the adults meeting in the
home of Miss Florence M. Szegedy,
1342 Emerson street NE, and the
young people at the home Of Mr..
and Mrs. Robert w. Christian, 800
Seventh street NE.
Next step was the renting of a
house at 7l8 r street NE. in July
1862. This was later followed by
renting several rooms in the Good
Templars Hall and Jonadabs Hall.
Several months later they rented
a frame church from the Seventh
Day Adventists on Eighth near G
street NE. In July. 1905. the Fifth
Congregational Church building at
Eighth and I streets NE. was pur-
chased.
Ten years later the building was
sold and the present structure was
erected. For nearly six months the
members worshipped in Pythian
Temple, Twelfth and H streets NE.
They then moved into the uncom-
pleted building.

trine became so very pressing that
he moved into building occupied
by gentle teacher and there for
two years carried on a continuous
religious revival
Evidently Paul was a sensational
preacher. His sermons reached the
big crowd and made the headlines.
Paul's Gospel was dramatically
changing lives and affecting the
thought of the entire region.
Soon mob of silver workers
gathered in the great theater and
were clamoring for the blood Of
the Christian missionaries. For two
solid hours they rent the air with
throaty cries of, Great is Diana
of the Ephesians."
The one man who kept his head
was the town clerk of Ephesus. He
finally dispersed the crowd.
Paul's moral superiority to De-.
metrius is revealed in the advice he
gave Christian believers on how to
solve their problems. Demetrius
believed that if he could yell loud
enough and get enough hoodlums
behind him, he could put anything
across. This Paul appreciated.
Turning away in quiet disgust from
clamor and violence, Paul advised
the early Christians when they con-
fronted problem to gird their
loins with truth, to put on the
breastplate of righteousness, to seek
peace instead of strife, to take up
the shield of faith and the helmet
of salvation and the sword OF the
spirit as their weapons. Above all.
they were to refresh their lives con-
stantly with prayer.

Byrnes Assures Control Safeguards

WASHINGTON. Dec. 3l-(P- Secretary of State Byrnes, in ra- dio address to the nation assured that the new policy control ma chinery for Japan safeguards the efficient administration" of Gen eral MacArthur.
 He also disclosed in the report on the Moscow conference, that the Big Three foreign ministers had not discussed technical or sci entific matters in connection with atomic energy control. That the Soviet officials asked no questions about the atomic bomb.
 Secy. Byrnes said the troubled affairs of Iran were on Moscow agenda. One stage of the agree ment seemed the imminent estab- lishment of a three power com mission to study Iranian problems. He said he was mot discouraged by the failure to agree on Iran, and added it was the only import ant item on the agenda on which an accord was not reached.
 He was aware of widespread speculation on whether the new setup for Japan would circum- scribe the policymaking powers of U. s. and administrative authority of General Macarthur. Secy. Byrnes devoted much of his ad- dress to discussing the new eleven nation Far Eastern commission, and four power Tokyo council.

AIR ROUTES TO ALASKA.

Stating his belief that the Civil Aeronautics Board was being sub jected to terrific pressure" Dr. Walter H. Judd, Congressman from Minneapolis, protested on the floor of the House recently against action taken by eighteen western Senators in urging the Board to consider the Pacific Northwest as the natural gateway for the north Pacific air route to the Orient.
 In the letter dated December F sent the Board by eighteen Sena- tors from eleven western states, statement was made of their con- viction that to adopt the examin- ers' proposal made for a single north Pacific air route over Can ada via the Twin Cities CMinne- apolis and St. Paul from Chicago would seriously retard the devel- opment of the West" In urging establishment of the route by way of the west coast, the Senators stated. Since all portions of the United States can be better served by an all-American route to the Orient via the Pacific Northwest gateway, the interests of the en- tire western half of the United States should not be subordinated to a foreign route to the preju- dices of the national interest"
 Dr. Judd, in his address to Con- gress, objected to the method used by the Senators, and stated his be- lief that decisions of the Board, acting upon it's examiners recom- mendations and following oral hearings, should be free from suspicion of political pressure and members of Congress should not set up an agency supposed to be wholly independent in its judg- ments and then write letters urg- ing it not to be independent"
