and football star at Niles Mich
High School, told the presbytery
meeting, Il had hoped to be
another Tatum but wound up
being Jack Phillabaum and am
going to be a minister"

turned Phillabaum'S thoughts TO
the ministry. One morning, about
q o'clock, he had to go on a
reconnaissance assignment that
started underwater. The team
had to go through a coral bar,
shaped like the rack of a deer.
The going was tough and Philla-
baum prayed he would be able
to 90 through. After several close
shaves, he succeeded.
On coming to Washington,
where he now works in the
Pentagon as a yeoman &c. the
Michigan youth joined the Sun

Church. Experiences and aSso-
citation there strengthened his
resolve to enter the ministry.

at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology before deciding
that serving God was the most
important thing in life" So he
turned his back on a scientific
career and entered American
University, where he is now a
junior. Mr.. Slower, a member of
Arlington Presbyterian Church.

lister. But regular reading of the
Bible and prayer brought a con-
vietion this was to be his calling.

TIL. HUMAN SIDE OF RELIGION
Church Action Leader
Ticking Idea to Europe
By CASPAR NAMES

Relisious News Editor OF The star
DR.. Charles Wesley Lowry is an
idealist who believes in action,
In 1852 he became convinced
"the churches needed a special
lied organ suited to concentra-
ton upon the theological crisis
of the goth century"
Thought produced action. and
the following year DR.. Lowry
took the courageous step of leav-
ing his post as rector of fashion
able All Saints Episcopal Church
to establish the Foundation for
Religious Action in the Social
and Civil Order. His co-worker
in this enterprise was DR.. Edward
L. r. Elson, minister of National
Presbyterian Church.
Since then, the one-time pro-
fessor at Virginia Theological
Seminary has been indefatigable
in pressing forward. The foun-
dalton has held two outstanding
meetings. in 1854 and 1855. in
Washington. President Eisen-
hover spoke at the former.
Now that the organization has
passed the f1edgling stage here,
DR.. Lowry decided to extend its
ideas overseas. Early this month
he left by plane for Europe
where he will stay until the
middle of next month. He will
visit several cities. including
Rome. in Italy. and then go on
to Paris. Amsterdam. Bonn, West
Berlin and London.
THE trip" DR.. Lowry eX-
planned. sis one Of observation
and study. I will confer with
European leaders interested in
setting up an advisory council
to be affiliated with the founda-
ton. I hope to get nucleus OF
French, German, Dutch. Italian
and English leaders on this coun-
Gil"
The program overseas, he add
ed, will be directed especially tc
colleges and universities. DR.
Lowry wants the democratic side
to be presented to students by
Europeans, with the foundation
cooperating.
When he returns, his report
should be worth hearing.
