Service Held
AT Juncture
Of 4 Counties

1t was warm at PARIS Spring
last Sunday afternoon the
temperature stood at we'll above
80 degrees but the true

More than 700 persons from
the area turned out to attend the
c. E. rally by the banks of the
pleasant body of water that
marks the juncture of the three

Held for the purpose of raising
funds to be used in the erection
of huge billboards along county
roads urging people to attend
church on Sunday, the meeting
also had another aim of solemn
significance honor to the
memory of the late Rev. Ernest
r. Bryan, Rockville pastor and
president of the international
Society of Christian Endeavor.
Ceremonies were held on the
same platform built over the
watery juncture of the four
counties that was graced by the
previous appearance of the de-
ceased minister. And tribute was
paid to the departed churchman
by Gov. T. r. McKeldin in a
message read by Roger Boone,
president of the State c. E. or
ganization.
Main speaker of the gathering
was r. G. LeTourneau, world.
famed manufacturer of earth
moving machinery, who flew to
the Washington area specifically
for the occasion from his home
in Long View, Tex.
Mr.. LeTourneau explained to
The SENTINEL that his interest

experience in emerging from
World War l to find that his
business had failed.
Il started from scratch all over
again." he said, land l promised
the Lord then that I'd keep the
faith with Him."
How we'll MIR. LeTourneau has
kept the vow may be judged from
the fact that he has travelled
$4,000 miles in 10 years to bring
his message of faith to persons
in all parts of the United States.

in the last 16 years." the visiting
industrialist cheerfully admitted

bill under an assumed name after
finding the initials "FEPC'' were

was changed to equal employment

Embarrassing Moment
The old adage that children
should be seen and not heard
Is q good one, for when they dc

too often pop out.
Recently a little girl ha6
missed Sunday school for q
month. One week she had beer
on vacation, and the other weeks
were lost because her mother
who brought the child to school
each Sunday, cut her big toe
and could not get out of the
house.
A friend asked the girl how
she had explained her absence to
the teacher.

beach and saw q lot Of people.

A group Of Washington
churches in modest, though
earnest terms. has just finished
q demonstration Of urban re-
newal that underscores the hui
man element on which such pro-
grams depend.
The seven-member body went
into the Wondering Southeast
home and turned 1t into q bright
place in which to live.
True, the home, in the 200
block of Fourteenth street Sc,
is still far from fashionable.
But where once the walls we're
dark, the plaster coming down
and the bathroom floor sagging
to the ground, improvements
have been made to an extent
that makes the place almost
unacceptable.
Happy Family
This family Of seven. including
five children, is overjoyed. More
over, true to the dreams Of urban
renewal theorists, the family it
self took a hand in helping the
outsiders fix up the old row.
house dwelling it has occupied
for three years.
And ever since the rehabilita-
ton, neighbors have dropped
around, praised the improvement
and shown an interest in nix
ing up their own homes. That
is part of the urban renewal
dream, too. t4@tA9 e
The seven churches responsible
for this small-scale stimulus to
q small area organized a working
committee last year. Members
represented Calvary Baptist, Ma
tional City Christian. Epiphany
Episcopal, Mount Vernon Meth
odist, Asbury Methodist and the
(Quaker) Friends Meeting
House.
The committee, which does not
like to call itself a pressure
group"--but does anyway-has
firmly supported the District
Commissioners on their adption
of a housing code. legislation
clamping down on owners OF
condemned housing and q pro-
gram of urban renewal-mass
renovation Of dwellings on the
down-grade.
But it decided to take the d.
rect, immediate approach, as
well. Earlier this month it OBJ
tanned the services Of IA college
students visiting the city on a
religious seminar. The students
were delighted And they were
given 5000 to buy the necessary
materials for the Fourteenth
street fix-up.
They Go to Work
Armed with hammers, boards,
paint and the advice Of q build
ing contractor members Of one Of
the churches, they attacked the
dark decaying interior. They
were aided by the parents and
occasionally by some Of the small
children.
According to Robert McCul-
Tough, director OF the Wesley
Foundation at South Dakota
University, who headed the re-
pair team, "the hammers didn't
always hit where we wanted
them to hit, but we think every
thing looked better when we got
through than 1t did before.
The committee hopes to under
take at least one such project a
year and to enlist the aid OF
other churches.
It's members and the students
alike were touched by the reac-
ton Of the Fourteenth street
family. When the job was fin
ished, the mother gave each OF
the students a card which the
