procession.
His visit to the 186-year-old

Church nevertheless brought
cheering crowds and traffic jams

the President and his wife.
The Rev. Joseph w. Ewing, a
past moderator Of the California
synod of the Presbyterian church
and minister at the Carmel
church since last November
conducted the usual Sunday
service. In one of the few direct
references to the President, DR.
Ewing assured Mr.. Eisenhower
that the prayers of the church
members were offered up every
Sunday for his bodily health
and calmness of mind"
