Herman M. Wilson, admins
traitor of the Asbury Home for
the Aged at Gaithersburg, Md.
has a lively group of guests al
his home. He told several
stories during his report to
illustrate the vigor and alert
ness of the guests, all of them
10 years of age and many more
than 80.
One account of an S7-year-
old lady evoked bursts of laugh
ter. On one occasion the ma
triarch, a proud Southern lady
brought up in that fine tradi-
ton, objected strenuously to a
song the choir was rehearsing
She was a member of the choir
When the superintendent
asked her what the difficulty
was, she Indignantly explained
why, the song is Yankee
Doodle"
Whether by coincidence OF
not, the superintendent noted
that Yankee Doodle" has not
been sung by the choir since
that time.

Waugh, Third and A streets

4 Churches to Be Used
Even the procedure to be
followed is unusual. Instead of
the four congregations leaving
their other buildings and
settling in one church, the four
structures will be used until a
new edif1ce will be erected on
either a new site or one of the
present locations.
During the interim, services
will be conducted Sundays in
each church. Mr.. Lewis will
preach at the 9:45 am. service
in Waugh Church and at the
IL am. services in Trinity
Church. His assistant, the Rev.
Thomas Starnes, will preach
at the 9:45 am. worship in
Wilson Memorial Church and
at IL am. in the North Caro-
lima Avenue Church.
This is the first time a
merger has been attempted in
this way" Mr.. Lewis explained.
The object is to keep the
Christian impact and to serve
the community on Capitol Hill. "
Leaving Kensington
Mr.. Lewis is leaving St. Pauls
Church, Kensington, Md. to
accept the challenge presented
by the merger of the four in
ner-city congregations.
A native of Washington, the
38-year-old minister is a gradu-
