The First Methodist Church has
always maintained an interest in
the Cause of Missions. In the rec
crds of the church there are very
great many Spanish names.
There are references dating back
TO 1870, showing this church had q
part in mission work among the
Cubans long before the Cuban Mis-
sion was formally opened.
Missions Supported
In 1898, when Bishop Warren A.
Gambler passed through Key West
on his way to Havana to open the
work Of the Methodist Church in
Cuba, several of the leaders Of this
church and other churches got to-
gether $1,000 to give the bishop to
aid in this work.
Last year the church sent its
pastor to Cuba to work with about
100 other pastors in the Annual
Cuba For Christ theme. For the
past two years young Cuban pas
tors have been brought to Florida
that they might attend the Pastors
school at Leesburg.

mon to be read at Christian Science
services this Sunday is "God the

From the Bible will be read the
account as given in Matthew Of
Christ Jesus instructions on how to
prayer which includes the follow
ing (6: 7, 81: "But when We pray.
use not vain repetitions, as the

got down to the business of Mr..
Shonick's signing the Maryland
State loyalty certificate while he
was teaching at Leland Junior
High.
Mr.. Shonick's initial recollec-
tons about signing the certifi-
cate were vague. Frank S. Tav-

asked, well, at the time you
signed that were you a mem
Der of the Communist Party?"
Mr. Shonick replied:
ST refuse to answer that ques-
ton on the basis of my privilege
under the Fifth Amendment not
to bear witness against myself"
The committee then singled
out the line in the certificate
that states. II do further certify
that ! am not a member of a
Subversive organization. ;"
Mr.. Shonick was asked wheth-
er, when he signed the certifi-
cate, he had made a truthful
statement. He said yes.
'"I would never sign anything
that wasn't truthful" he added.
mo job has ever meant that
much to me-"
He said that. to the best OF
his knowledge, he had never
been a member Of a subversive
organization. In answer to an
other question, he said he did
not recognize the Communist
Party as . subversive organiza-
ton.

THE DEALER

The center of the issue is a
34-year-old citizen, who emf
grated from his native Poland in
early youth. He settled in New
York City in the early 1920s and
became naturalized American
citizen about 1880.
In 1945, MFR. Shonick took on
job as music teacher and band
supervisor at Leland Junior
High School in Bethesda. When
the ,Ober law was passed. he
signed the loyalty oath required
of Maryland State employees.
His teaching job ended with
his resignation under pressure
in 1851 He quit because of
testimony by Mrs. Mary Stalcup
Markward, FBT undercover
agent, who identified Mr.. Sho-
nick and his wife Helen as Com
muniSt workers.
Then he applied for and was
granted a license as, a second
hand dealer in pianos by the
District License Office.
Mr.. Shonick now lives at 1912
Quebec terrace. Silver Spring,
with his wife and 3-month-old
son, Jeremy.
