Leads Service at 80.

An unusual occurrence took
place last week at the District
Baptist Convention in Metro
politan Baptist Church, Sixth
and A streets NE.
DR.. Edward o. Clark, pastor of
Chevy Chase Baptist Church
gave the convention sermon.
Then he stepped back and a spry-
stepping man came forward to
give the benediction. He did so
in a strong and clear voice.
Afterward the two men linked
arms and came down the aisle.
The other man was the Rev.
John E. Clark. father of the
Chevy Chase minister. At 80
years he looks like a man of 10.
and has the enthusiasm and out
look OF a person at least 20
years younger.
Officially, the older Clark re-
tired as a preacher five years
ago. But he still supplies pulpits
and does fine job.
Incidentally, Mr.. Clark was a
classmate Of the late Rev. DR..
John Compton Ball of Metro
politan Church. DR.. Ball served
this congregation for more than

No Record, But
August Is Wet

Residents and vacationers may
take some small cheer from the
following information obtained
from the government weather sta
ton at Weber's. August isn't the
wettest month in history and there
are prospects of dry weekend.
There was no official guarantee
with the latter.
Continued rainfall this week
has totaled POS inches and when
added TO what has come down
earlier in the month makes a total
of 1888 inches as Of this morning,
for the month Of August. But this
is not a record by any means. In
August of 1911 there was re-
cording of 1913 inches. But of
course, as Ralph Weber points
out, there are still five more days
to go. However he said weather
reports indicated that rain might
continue today but that the week
end would be dry.
