ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH SATURDAY, JUNE 21. 1952 ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH 5A Quits Post News the Churches in th St. ais Ar NEW CONCERT SHELL USED BY ORCHESTRA II RESIGNS WA INQUIRY TYLER PLACE CHURCH URGED ON CHRISTIANS Hospital in Tropics Is 'Piece Of U.S.

St. Louis Nun Says Sister Albeus on Leave From British Guiana P-'ses Climate There, Where Nobody Hurries. "There is no rush nor hurry. The people ride bicycles instead of automobiles, and the trains look like those trains of 100 years ago that were exhibited at the World's Fair. But in the hospital, the only thing We have to worry about is giving care to the patients; we can forget about degrees, competition, and the other problems which beset the American hospital." A vard bed costs $1.50 and a private room $5.

The patient gets treatment and care, room and board, and all extras, including the doctor's services. For surgery, however, there is an additional charge. Operations are done three days a week. Dr. Dahlberg Addresrstt 275 Church Executives at Lake Geneva Conference.

Christ is the answer to war "only ISscfar as we cease to go to war, pay for war, or wear the medals of war," the Rev. Dr. Edwin T. Dahlberg, pastor of Del-mar Baptist Church and president of the Metropolitan Church Federation, declared this week in an address at Lake Geneva, Wis. Addressing 275 church executives at Conference Point Camp, Williams Bay, the Rev.

Dr. Dahlberg said we will never have peace so long as our actions and our philosophy contradict that peace. "The question may be raised, would not such a policy result in the loss of our freedom? Possibly so. But Christ lost his freedom. Why should we not lose ours? "Truth comes before freedom, and because we are not willing to face the truth as it is in Christ, we are already losing our freedom in blind devotion to the old military concepts.

"Individual people must begin figuring on where they come into the picture. Peace must begin, as temperance begins, with total abstainers: total abstainers from bloodshed and destruction." The Rev. Dr. Dahlberg spoke at the annual conference of the Association of Council Secre taries, a professional organization representing nearly 1000' city, county, state and national councils of churches. The Rev.

Dr. O. Walter Wagner, executive secretary, and Lawrence J. Dorn, financial secretary of the St. Louis Church Federation, attended the conference.

Religion is more vital in countries where it does not depend on the state for support, defense or prestige, the conference was told by the Rev. Dr. Roswell P. Barnes of the National Council of Churches, New York. "Sound religion does not need and should not seek the financial support or the police defense of the state," he continued.

"This does not mean that the state should not acknowledge the validity and the indispensability of religion. On the contrary, the state should acknowledge that it subsists under the governance of God. However, it should admit, as does the American state, that religion is the province of the churches and of private conscience and should be left free from any interference by the state except as clearly required in the interest of public order." MRS. DAVID BAKER NAMED EDITOR OHMCH WOMAN Mrs. David D.

Baker, former president of the Louis Council of Church Women, has been appointed director of publications of United Church Women, a general department of the National Council of Churches. She will be editor of The Church Woman, official journal of her department. She will assume her new duties in New York in July, according to The Messenger, national organ of the Evangelical and Reformed Church. Mrs. Baker was president of the St.

Louis Council of Church Women for three years and a member of its board for 12 years. Her husband was editor of The Messenger from 1942 till his death in an automobile accident in 1950. Last year Mrs. Baker became missions editor of the Evangelical and Reformed Church, with headquarters in Philadelphia. CHURCH NOTICES.

By JOHN T. STEWART Church Editor of the Post-Dispatch. First Baptist Church, 3100 Bell avenue, oldest Negro Baptist congregation in the city, is building new recreation center and educational un.it.

The large two-story building is going up on the lot adjoining the church on the west. When completed and equipped, it will cost about $250,000. The building is 100 by 126 feet. The largest room is a gymnasium that will seat 2000 spectators, and 3000 persons in assembly. A double bowling alley is being installed a basement room.

The first floor will also include other recreational rooms, foyer and parlor. The second floor will hold two balconies for the gymnasium, showers and service rooms, 10 class rooms for the church school, and an apartment for the pastor. The building, which is connected with the church, will provide facilities for a year-round program of religious education, recreation and other parish and neighborhood activities. Stone From Third Baptist. The Missouri Carthage stone for the front and one side wall came from the old side walls of Third Baptist Church, Grand and Washington boulevards, which is being rebuilt.

By arrangement with the wrecking company, First Baptist Church was able to salvage the stone. The rest of the walls will be tile and brick. The concrete foundation and steel work have been finished and the walls are going up. The pastor of First Baptist Church is the Rev. Dr.

James M. Bracy. He was born in Mississippi and came to St. Louis as a physician in 1918. He practiced medicine here for 15 years before taking the pastorate in 1933.

He is a member of the executive board of the Metropolitan Church Federation, also of the Civic and Comity commissions. First Baptist Church, which now has 1000 members, originated in Sunday school classes for Negroes started in 1817. The church was organized in 1827 as the African Baptist Church. Ex-Slave First Pastor. McCune Gill, St.

Louis historian, supplied the following early history of the church: The Rev. Berry Meacham, called in the legal phraseology of the time, "a free man of color," organized the church and was its first pastor. He had been a slave in Virginia, bought his freedom there, and came to St. Louis. He was encouraged in his religious work by John Mason Peck, pioneer Baptist missionary, who is buried in Bellefontaine cemetery.

On May 6, 1829, the Rev. Mr. Meacham paid $150 for a 40-foot lot on the north side of Almond street (now Valentine street), between Fourth and Fifth (Broadway) streets. Here the first church was erected. The congregation was mixed of slaves and freed Negroes.

At the time, St. Louis held perhaps no more than 1500 slaves, nearly all of them domestic servants; and there were between 500 and 1000 Negroes who had won their freedom. After the death of the Rev. Mr. Meacham, the Almond street property was transferred by his widow to the Rev.

Augustus Brown of the African Baptist Church. The church moved to another location in 1885. First Baptist Church is a member of the National Baptist Convention, which has a membership of 7,000,000 in the United States. There are about 15 large congregations ii St. Louis and many small groups.

300 ATTEND BIBLE SCHOOL AT SOUTH SIDE CHURCH "More than 300 children are at tending the annual vacation Bible school of Lafayette Park Baptist Church.

The school opened Monday and will close next Friday; Sessions are held daily, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. till noon. Children of the neighborhood between the ages of 3 and 16 are invited.

Dq Minister "The Voice of Religious Certainty" TJou anJ tjour friends tear A St. Louis Catholic nun and her co-workers have made a hospital in British Guiana "look for all the world like an institution right out of St. Louis." The new St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Georgetown "is a little piece of the United States," says Sister Mary Albeus of the Sisters of Mercy, who is back at St. John's Hospital on Euclid avenue for a three-month leave from her foreign mission.

Sister Albeus has a kind word to say for summer in the tropics. In spite of the midday heat, which she found "unbearable the first year," she says the climate is pleasant, with trade winds, no hurricanes or tornadoes, and cool nights. British Guiana is a small colony on the northeastern coast of South America. Six nationalities make up the population. Sister Albeus describes them this way: "The Portuguese who have been there since the days of the explorers; East Indians (the most beautiful girls I have ever seen); Africans, fine-featured Negroes brought there as slaves; Europeans; Chinese, and Amerindians (aboriginal Indians).

Life is "much simpler in the tropics," Sister Albeus says. THE REV. MR. UNDERWOOD WONDERS HOW MUCH OF PREACHING HAS 'TAKEN' Ministers used to be asked to contribute their best sermons to a symposium with the title, "If I had only one sermon to preach." The Rev. Tom Underwood has applied this yardstick to his last three sermons at Compton Heights Christian Church.

On July 1 he will become pastor of Cherokee Christian Church, Kansas City. In his last parish paper, the Rev. Mr. Underwood says he has preached more than 200 sermons in four years here, and he wonders what, of all that preaching, has "taken." "A minister wonders how much he has changed the lives of people in his community. He is sure that if many sermons haven't changed folk, three or four last ones can't do it.

But, being a preacher, he will preach them." For his last sermons at Compton Heights Church he chose three that seemed to him "basic in Christian faith." The subjects are The Love of God, The Brotherhood of Man, and Personal Redemption. Methodist Associate Resigns. The Rev. W. L.

Diggs has resigned as associate pastor of St. John's Methodist Church to become pastor of the Methodist Church at Cotter, Ark. He is returning to his home conference, the North Arkansas Conference of the Methodist Church. He had been at St. John's Church for a year.

Dr. Johnson in South Dakota. The Rev. Dr. C.

Peal Weber EVENING SERVICE EDUCATIONAL AUDITORIUM Acoustical Value Shown by Little Symphony in Pleasing Program. (Pictures In Everyday Magazine.) By THOMAS B. SHERMAN The Little Symphony Concerts Association began its eighteenth 6easso last night in Washington Uunfersity Quadrangle under circumstances that made it much more than just another opening concert. As the orchestra's anniversary coincided, approximately, with the start of Washington University's 100th year, Chancellor Arthur Compton delivered a short speech of welcome to the musicians, the society and the audience. The university, he said, was happy to be associated with an organization that had made such an important addition to the pattern of summer life in St.

Louis. The concert was also the occasion for the first display and use of the new acoustical shell donated by the family and friends of the late Benoist Tompkins in his memory. Miss Martha Love made a speech of acceptance stressing Mr. Tompkins's long and devoted service to the organization as president and active member. The shell was designed by William Bernoudy and Edouard Mutrux.

Its roof consists of five overlapping hexagons, colored like natural redwood and supported by light columns. The background is a three-paneled gray screen. The 'general effect is that of an airy Japanese pavilion. The acoustical properties proved generally satisfactory even thougn the accentuation of high frequencies gave a slight edge to the composite tone at times. Stanley Chappie, returning for his twelfth season as conductor, offered a program featuring Nino Rosso, former St.

Louisan and presently a member of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, as 'cello soloist. He played Tschai-kowsky's Variations on a Rococo Theme with a gracious, mellow tone quality and a clearly defined line. After prolonged applause he responded with a short encore: "Apres Un Reve" by Faure, as transcribed by Pablo Casals. A "Little Suite for Small Orchestra" written for the Little Symphony by Frank Mader, a St. Louis musician and member of the orchestra, supplied a modern coloring for the program.

Though conforming nominally to the diatonic scale the three fast movements showed but a loose allegiance to strict tonality, producing thereby a sometimes piquant and sometimes wry effect. Bustling rhythms kept them active and purposeful. The Sara-hande and Pavanne recalled their classic prototypes successfully; they also revealed a considerable gift for sustained, expressive melody. Altogether it was a well made musicianly work; and it was given an incisive performance. Mozart's "Adagio and Fugue, which opened the concert, proved to be unsuitable for open air performance.

Haydn's Symphony No. 88 was eminently suitable, and Its hearty, resilient statement by Chappie and the orchestra brought the proceedings to a happy and rousing conclusion. Part of the audience ot iduu, mai dered back to get a good look at the pavilion at close range, received an extra dividend when the engineer in charge of amplification played back part of the Haydn Symphony on a recording machine. DR. JAMES E.

BELLINGER FUNERAL HELD Funeral services for Dr. James Edward Bellinger, a Collinsville physician for 29 years, were held at SS. Peter and Paul Catholic Church there yesterday. Burial took place in the Catholic ceme-tcry Dr. Bellinger, who was 60 years old, died Tuesday at St.

HOMER P. RAINEY AT STEPHENS COLLEGE Curators Reported Dissatisfied With Liberal Views of School President. By a Special Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. COLUMBIA, June 21 Resignation of Dr. Homer P.

Rainey as president of Stephens College here was announced yesterday after an all-day meeting of the school board of curators. 1 Hugh Stephens of Jefferson City, president of the board, said Dr. Rainey had submitted his resignation and it had been accepted by the curators, effective June 30. Stephens nor Dr. Rainey would discuss the reasons for the resignation, but the Post-Dispatch learned there had been mounting dissatisfaction with the educator's liberal views in general.

Dr. James M. Wood, who retired as president of the college in 1947 at the age of 71, althougn he lives in New York has continued to play an important role. It was that his view that Dr. Rainey had proved "too radical" had been accepted by a majority of the curators.

Another cause of dissatisfaction was a drop in enrollment from the wartime peak of 2250 to approximately 1800. Some believed Dr. Rainey should have done more to attract students. Dr. Rainey was popular with faculty and students.

A faculty petition urging his re-election to the presidency was presented to the board yesterday. Democratization of the sirls' college was one of Dr. Rainey's first objectives. He put through an administrative reorganization which gave the faculty a major part in policymaking. Other accomplishments included addition of more than $1,000,000 in school building assets, establishment of an audio-visual program of education and expansion of activities in drama, music and fashion design.

The 56-year-old educator has served as president of the University of Texas, Bucknell University at Lewisburg, and Franklin (Ind.) College. He was ousted from his Texas University post in 1944 in a fight over free(jom) ancj thereafter made an unsuccessful race for me Democratic nomination for Governor of Texas. Rainey. said he has made no oilier plans yet. SHRINE COUNCIL APPROVES CHARTERS FOR TWO TEMPLES MIAMI, Fla, June 21 (AP) The Imperial Council of the Shrine yesterday approved charters for new temples in Long Beach, and Alexandria, Va.j and chose New York for the 1953 convention.

An amendment to allow Shrine hospitals to invest in mortgaged properties and purchase common and preferred stock of private corporations was adopted. Previously hospital funds could be invested only in low interest rate Government bonds. The new regulations specified, however, that only 30 per cent of the funds available could be invested in other than Government bonos. Other business actions increased the required membership of a new temple from 1000 to 1250, set up a method to suspend a Shriner who becomes in bad standing and cut off the building or operation of any new shrine hospitals without the approval of the national group. The business session wound up the seventy-eighth annual convention.

nD nuDioTfinncn nniUAii nice unmoiuriltn unanMlfl UICO, QNE np JflAYQ CLINIC FOUNDERS ROCHESTER, June 2l (AP) Dr. Christopher Graham, the last member of the group of doctors who founded the famed Mayo clinic, died yesterday. He was 96 years old. He became associated with the late doctors W. J.

and C. H. Mayo shortly after he received his medical degree in 1894 from the University of Pennsylvania where two years earlier he had received a degree in veterinary medicine. He was regarded as an outstanding diagnostician and Dr. W.
