Shiloh Bulletin
The Shiloh Parsonage at 127
Jerome Street sheltered its first
welcome visitor this week dur
ing the 10th and Boston Con-
vention of the American Bar
Association which drew thou
sands of people of the legal pro-
feSsion, including Supreme Court
Justices, to this state. Among
the lawyer delegates from Texas
who found it difficult to find
living quarters, due to packed
hotels, was Mr.. John Hughey OF
Tyler and a school mate Of our
Pastor when both attended Bi-
shop College at Marshall in the
Lone Star State. ! met Mr.. Mar
shall this week and he said he
had no idea he was going to be
SO fortunate in finding room at
our Parsonage and he wanted
to express his gratitude at Med
forls hospitality which would
certainly be returned when
ever Medfordites visit his people
in Texas. So, in the first week
of the Parsonage being open we
have helped stranger. Mr..
Hughey said he himself is work
ing to bring our people equal
rights and his state of Texas
is a center of equal rights law
contests to help further the
cause. Medford was honored to
have had him as our first guest
of the Shiloh Parsonage on the
invitation of the Pastor, And
this is one of the many purposes
of a Parsonage. 1t is place to
go for individua land family
guidance in complete confidence,
It is a place to go for Prayer;
to call on the Pastor any time
for marriages, funerals, or any
aid that is possible from the
Clergy. If handled correctly, the
Parsonage will more than prove
its worth and place in the COM
nunity.
Among the other distinguish
ed and recent visitors to Med
ford were DR., and Mrs. Joseph
B. Randolph of Newark and Mr..
and Mrs. Larry Anderson of
Washington, D. c., whose story
appears in the Guardian under
a separate heading. Each year
we record more and more visi-
tors to this community of beau
tiful homes and it appears Ger
tain that the visitors will in
crease over the years. If so they
will always find welcome. In
cidentally the emphasis this
week was upon Texas, as DR..
Anderson was former Dean
and President of two Texas col
leges. However, washington was
well represented in Mr.. and Mrs.
Anderson, dietieian at Howard
U, and Photostat Technician,
