Alliance meeting in London. One
day as he was standing in the
convention hall the pastor Of
a Baptist church in London
stopped at seeing DIR. Clark's
Chevy Chase identification.
: I'VE have a young lady of our
church who is soon going to
Chevy Chase" the London min
lister told DR.. Clark after he in.
,troduced himself
"Yes." the Washington clergy
imam replied with a smile. 81
am going to marry her."
/ This morning DR.. Clark mar
:ried the young girl. Mary Atwell,
ito William r. Hughes, of 20

+. Graham Impresses Newsmen
: Evangelist Billy Graham made
"a great hit this week at the
National Press Club.
F: The critical newspapermen
;agreed he held his large gath
ering better than any speaker
in recent years. One listener
pointed out that usually as the
speaking and question period
goes on the room becomes hazy
/. with smoke. The opposite was
true this time. he said. observ-
/. ing those present were so in
terested they did not reach for
. a cigarette or cigar.
Graham's use of words was
admired by men whose business
/: it is to deal with words. He
rarely used a multi-syllable
=: word. achieving his effects with
the simplest of nouns. adjec-
. tives and verbs.
/: There were no purple pass
. ages in his talk" this keen OBJ
f. server remarked. Everything
/. ne SAID was direct and without
. embellishments"
Still another quality that
. came through was the speakers
simplicity. His manner as well as
. his speech was direct and plain
/ and carried With it no effort to
: impress his hearers. And, as so
. often happens. the impression
made was strong.
