age tonight for the first time in Is
months when he meets Americas

The chances are 2-to-1 that he
won't get a chance to put it back.

Mills claims he's in better shape
than when he won the crown on
points from Gus Lesnevich in
July, 1948.
I'm feeling really good this
time. said the 30-year-old Briton.

My legs feel good and I think I'm
better than have been for five

as nervous as a novice as he tried
to kill time yesterday.

The outcome seemed to hinge
on whether Maxim can stop Mills
hard left hooks. Maxim is a
boxer, Mills a puncher. The ex-

stand a chance. They feel that to
win Mills must stop the American

Maxim has been knocked out
only once in 10 years of profess

stopped him cold with a wild
punch in the first round of a
Cleveland fight eight years ago.
Maxim later whipped Sheppard.

Interest in Religion Growing;
Books, Colleges Show Trend

October by the Federal Council
of the Churches of. Christ in
America and participating de-
nominations, will continue through
1850. 1t is characterized by
evangelistic campaigns, often in
terdenominational. and by per-
sonal visitations Of church men,
berS.
$4,000 Students Enrolled.
There is scarcely an active
American Protestant who is not
familiar with the United Evan2e-
listic Advance, yet it has not at
tanned the widespread publicity OF
the colorful Christian campaign
ing of Mr.. Graham.
How many people know that
the University Christian Mission,
a section of the United Evange-
listic Advance. has enrolled more
than $4,000 college students this
year?
Yet quite few know that more
than 800 American communities
have asked Mr.. Graham to con-
duct city-wide revival campaigns
Undoubtedly the reason is that
Mr.. Graham. operating alone out
side denominational boundaries,
cuts a dramatic figure. He's as
readily identiflable to the Ameri-
can people as the politician or the
college professor. People expect
certain things of him-an emo
tional catharsis-and he gives
them just what they expect.
! The Minneapolis evangelist be-
longs to a tradition in American
Professionalism that dates back to
1884 when Jonathan Edwards
villifled sin with great emotion
from the pulpit of the North
ampton. Mass, Congregations,
Church.
The tradition grew, spreading
from New England to New Jersey
and Virginia, and finally reaching
climax in the great wilderness
revivals Of Kentucky early in the
Nineteenth Century. 1t continued
under such renowned revivalists
as Dwight l.. Moody in the last
century and Billy Sunday in the
early decades of this century. Billy
Sunday popularized the 's,wdust
trail" for converts.
So none Of the things that are
happening are new. They are re-
currences Of mans old dissatisfac-
ton with himself. Because they
are old is perhaps the reason for
their appeal today.

many numbers of pilgrims who
will not be able to find places
within the basilica, the Holy
Father has decided to pass in
papal cortege in the piazza of St
Peter"
The decision was made despite
the Pope's frailty, his recent ILL
nesses and his 73 years.
5000 Children Chant Hymns.
The first observance of Easter
was the chanting of hymns and
prayers for peace by more than
5000 French children who have
come here on Holy Year pilgrim
ages. They worshipped at Ara
Coeli-Altar of Heaven-Church
in the Piazza Venezia.
At noon yesterday the Pope re-
ceived 10000 pilgrims from scat
tered parts of the world in Holy
Saturday audience marking the
end of Lent.
This was the highlight of a day
that saw 10000 pilgrims and Ro-
mans throng through the great
church.
Amid cheers of viva II Papa
the pontiff. smiling and moving
his right arm in blessing, was car
ried in his portable throne down
the center aisles of the basilica
to the massive confessional altar.
The Pope spoke in English,
French, Italian, Spanish. German
and Portuguese. He exhorted the
pilgrims to strive for the maxi
mum spiritual benefits from their
Holy Year visits.
Calls Roll of Pilgrimages.
He called the roll of individual
pllgrimages. Each time a coun-
try was mentioned, cheers rose
from the section of the basilica
where its pilgrims were stationed.
Americans present included the
Milwaukee Archdiocese pilgri-
mage Of 200 led by the Rev. Moses
kllnk. director of the Milwaukee
Archdiocese Society for the prop
agation of the Faith. Canadians
were led by Msgr. Maurice Roy,
Archbishop of Quebec, and Msgr
Paul Emile Leger, recently-ap-
pointed Archbishop of Montreal
In today's ancient ceremonies a
procession of the basilica's canons
proceeded from the sacristy, down
the central aisle of the basilica
and then to a side altar where
a fire was ignited to light again
the altars darkened during Holy
Week.
The newly-ignited fire was
blessed. Then three candles, rep
resenting the trinity of the Father
the Son and the Holy Ghost, were
lighted. With one of these, a
large Easter candle was lighted to
burn for 40 days, representing the
40 days that Christ stayed on
earth after, his resurrection.
Another ceremony was the
blessing of the water in the bap-
tismal font. After the blessing
II canons representing the IL
APOSTLES marched through the
basilica, sprinkling the people
with the holy water.

u. S. Priest Refused Right.
To Celebrate Moscow Mass

- ~ - NJ ~ SVsSSSSV SFhASS
PHILADELPHIA, April 8 (P).-
A Philadelphia lawyer disclosed
today that the Soviet Union has
refused an American priest per-
mission to celebrate Easter Sum
day mass in Moscow tomorrow.
The attorney. Michael Francis
Doyle, said he received his infor-
nation from the State Depart
ment. In Washington, the State
Department affirmed that its last
report from Moscow was that the
only American priest there had
not received permission thus far
to conduct religious services in
the Soviet capital.
Mr.. Doyle is an international
lawyer who devotes considerable
time to protecting the rights of
American Roman Catholics under
terms of the Soviet United States
treaty Of 1888 in which the United
States recognized the Soviet
Union.
French Priest Chosen.
The treaty was signed by the
late President Franklin D. Roose-
welt and by Maxim Litvinoff,
then Russian foreign minister.
Mr.. Doyle said that the only
Roman Catholic church in Russia
where a priest has been per-
mitted to offlciate is the St. Louis
Francois Roman Catholic Church
in Moscow. He said that it has
been the practice of the Russian
leaders to permit an American
priest to celebrate mass at that
church on Easter Sundays since
1888.
Instead. tomorrow, the mass
will be celebrated by the Rev.
Camille Thomas OF France.
The State Department, in its
dispatch to Mr.. Doyle, said that
the Russian government has To-
Gated an apartment for the Ameri-
can resident Catholic priest in
Moscow, the Rev. Arthur Brassard.
Previously, the Soviet govern
ment has advised Father Brassard
the apartment he expected to oc-
cupy had been torn down. Mr..
Doyle said vigorous efforts of the
American Embassy" helped Father
Brassard find new home. He has
been granted permission to remain
in Moscow until June, 1851.
