Title: Alaskan elder.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: ALASKAN ELDER #S-3575 ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- One of the most interesting delegates to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. here was Elder Roy Ahmaogak (above) of the Ootkeavich Presbyterian church of Barrow, Alaska, most northerly community on the North American continent. His trip here was the first time in his life he had journeyed below the Arctic Circle. The 48-year-old native of Alaska has acted as an interpreter among the Eskimos since his youth. He has been an elder for 15 years, and was licensed to teach the Gospel two years ago. He will go Oklahoma to work on a translation of the New Testament into Arctic Eskimo dialect. He then will attend Bloomfield Theological Seminary, N.J., to prepare for ordination to the Presbyterian ministry. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (CHAMP-FAIR-MES-5C-6-W-M)

Title: Gypsies honor patrons.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: GYPSIES HONOR PATRONS #3702 SAINTES-MARIES-DE-LA-MER, France -- To this small Mediterranean seaport on the Feast of Province every year come Catholic gypsies from France, Spain and other countries to pay tribute to their patronesses, St. Sara, and her mistresses, the two Saint Marys - believed to be Mary Jacob and Mary Salome, aunts of the Virgin Mary - who, according to tradition, landed as missionaries on the shores of Gaul in 42 A.D. In this photograph gypsies are seen escorting statues of the two Marys, placed in a small boat, to the sea, where they are borne into the surf to cries of “Vivent les Saintes Maries.” On the previous day, a procession is staged in honor of St. Sara, gypsy Saint.

Title: Seeks guarantees for Christians in Lebanon.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: SEEKS GUARANTEES FOR CHRISTIANS IN LEBANON #c-3685 PITTSBURGH -- Christians in Lebanon want a United National guarantee of religious freedom, according to the Rt. Rev. Chor-Bishop Antoun Akl, a high dignitary of the Maronite (Eastern Rite) Catholic Church shown here (right) with the Rev. Elias Basil, pastor of St. Anne’s Syro-Maronite Catholic church. According to Bishop Akl, the Christians in Lebanon, only country in the Levant not dominated by Moslems, fear a pan-Arabic union. This would leave Lebanon Christians isolated in a Moslem world, Bishop Akl says, and they feel their religious liberties might be curtailed in such a situation.
