ST. LOUIS, MO. = An appeal
for faith in Christ was issused
today by the Rev. Henry Hart
ner, Pastor of Emmaus Lutheran
Church, DellveT Colorado, and
summer guest speaker on Bring
ing Christ to the Nations, the
International Lutheran Hour.
Speaking over he Mutual
Broadcasting System and affili-
ated stations, Pastor Hartner de-
clared: Jesus says TO every fol-
lower, AS My Father hath sent
Me, ever so L send you.' We do
not realize the way we should,
that one of the great words in
the vocabulary of Jesus is the
word, Co.. There is another
word we like much better, Come.
We love to hear Him say, Come
unto Me, all We that labor and
are heavy laden, and 1 will give
you rest Let's pause to realize
that all who come to the LORD
Jesus are also told to 60. He
called the twelve to Him, filled
with His truth and then told them
to 60 and testify to His name
among men. He called the seven.
ty to Him and gave them a mes
sage for the saving of men and
said, Now go, and tell it abroad.
And to more than 500 gathered
to hear His last charge He spoke
that word ono more, Go We
therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Ghost, heaven and
earth can pass away but never
the Word of our Lords will for
his life, he will hear again the
same charge, Go and seek the
lost in order to save them"
Pastor Hartner continued:
How about the church of your
day and mine? Is she fulfilling
the command Of Christ? Is she
earnestly seeking the lost to saw
them? And I suspect you know
the answer before I tell you. Last
year some sixty religious denom-
nations in u land, and that in
cludes all important churches,
made an annual increase in
membership of less than two per-
cent. Just looking at that fact
from the standpoint of the bill.
ions of dollars which are invest
ed in church property and mill
ions of protesting Christians who
ought to be witnessing for their
dear Lord, such a low rate of
annual increase is nothing short
of terrible; but as a matter of
fact, that isn't half of it. Stats.
ticians tell us that only about
thirty percent of all church mem.
bers attend church with any de-
gree of regularity, twenty per-
cent attend irregularly, and fifty
percent Just 60 to church once
or twice a year Or not at all.
What is the matter" /.
The radio speaker concluded:
THE plain fact of the matter
then is that every follower of
the Lord Jesus has a divine oh.
legation to witness unto others
the glory of the love of Jesus
which he himself has received
to tell them the sweetest story
ever told It is very true that
Jesus has prepared the feast Of
everlasting salvation; but it is
also true that you and I are to
fill that banquet hall. We are to
go out into the streets and lanes
Of the city to bring them in; we
r to go out into the highway.

Will Be Asked to
Meet With Council

Steps toward possible purchase OF
the Alexandria Water Co. by the
city were taken last night when
the Council voted to have water
company spokesman at next Tues
days session
On q motion of Councilman Paul
Delaney, it was voted unanimously
to instruct City Manager Carl Bud
wesky to ask a water company Of
fetal to meet with the Council next
week in regard to discussion Of
possible purchase of the water COM
pany."
Purchase Of the privately-owned
water company has been widely dis
cussed since the company entered
into contract to furnish water to
a Fairfax County developer. City
officials have indicated they favored
city ownership of the system to
make sure their supply will remain
adequate and not be tapped by sur
rounding communities.
Lower Rates Foreseen.
In addition, it has been claimed
that city ownership would lead
eventually to lowered water rates.
The dispute between the Alex
andria Hospital and the city over
INDECENT care rates at the hospital
appeared headed for a solution after
the Council voted to accept an offer
of the Alexandria Council of Social
Agencies to bring in a qualified per-
son to make a survey of the hos
pital.
The Alexandria Hospital Corp,
governing body Of the hospital, vot-
ed Monday night in favor of the
proposed survey, the Council was
told.
The Councils resolution accepting
the survey offered made it clear that
the findings OF the survey would not
be binding on the council.
Mr.. Budwesky and Architect Mil
ton Grigg were instructed by the
Council to confer in regard to the
low bid of $33,727 for improvements
at the city Jail to determine If it
would be better to handle the job
on cost plus basis. Two other bids
on the job, which originally was
estimated to cost $4,000, were $685.
$50 and $34,289.
Jail Changes Ordered.
The Council has been ordered by
the Alexandria Corporation Court
to carry out improvements at the
jail recommended by the State
Board of Corrections.
The Council re-appointed Chair
man Edward Reed of the Alexandria
School Board for another two-year
term and named Joseph Everly as
a member of the board to replace
Armistead L. Boothe. Councilman
John Tulloch, who introduced a
resolution favoring the two appoint
msnts, pointed out that MIR. Boothe
is a candidate for the Virginia House
of Delegates, which would make him
ineligible for the School Board.
Mr.. Eyerly is past president of the
Alexandra Rotary Club and past
master of the Alexandria Washing
ton Lodge of Masons.
