Dwight D. Eisenhower today
becomes the first President ever
limited to two terms in the White

Prior to 1910, no President had

Understanding Heart
For New President
Asked by Pastor

President Eisenhower was sur
rounded by his official family
today as he attended a special
church service at $50 am. in
the National Presbyterian Church
at Connecticut avenue and N
street NV.
The service was conducted by
the Rev. DR.. l.. r. Elson, and in
cluded reading of Solomon's ap-
peal to the Lord:
Give therefore Thy servant an
understanding heart to judge
Thy people, that I may discern
between good and bad: For who
is able to judge this so great a
people?"
And the Lords reply:
10, I have given thee wise
and understanding heart >"
Special Prayers Recited.
Also included were prayers by
DR.. Elson-for the President, for
"all in authority" for the Ma
ton. for world peace-and, final
ly, the Lords Prayer in unison.
A final hymn also had the
quality of prayer for the new
President: God of the coming
years, through paths unknown
we follow Thee; when we are
strong. Lord, leave us not alone;
our refuge be-"
Before the service DR.. Elson
said it was the first of it's kind
in history. Other Presidents
elect have attended preinaug-
ural services with their own
families. but have never before
asked their official families to
join them, he said.
Arrangements were made to
record the entire service, by re-
quest to President Eisenhower
from the National Council of
Churches.
Official Family Present.
Across the aisle from the
President sat the Vice Presi-
dent and Mrs. Nixon with
their family and relatives.
Members Of the cabinet, the lit
tie cabinet and others occupied
peWs in the two center sections
Of the church.
AS Gen Eisenhower left, Dr..
Elson gave him specially
leather-bound gold engraved
copy OF his book. "One Moment
With God," a daily devotional,
with a matching copy of the
New Testament.
