Title: "Irish Travelers" return to Memphis.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: ‘IRISH TRAVELERS’ RETURN TO MEMPHIS #c-3443 MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- For 75 years bands of roving horse traders traveled through the South, descendants of Irish who had emigrated from County Mayo in the early 1800s. Although they were commonly referred to as gypsies, the more enlightened Southerners called them “Irish Travelers.” Each year they came to Memphis for one day to hold their weddings and funerals. Although the advent of the automobile saw many of them leave the road, they still follow the business of horse trading throughout many towns of the South -- and gather in Memphis once a year. Here five couples kneel before the altar of St. Thomas church in a quintuple wedding. The five couples are (left to right): John J. Riley and Ann Theresa Carroll; James Carroll and Ann Theresa Riley; John Costello and Marie Costello (no relation); John Costello, a first cousin of the previous John Costello, and Mary Marie Carroll; Thomas Nelson and Betty Riley. Youngest attendant at the wedding was eight-month-old “Red” Nelson. The oldest was his great-grandfather, 87-year-old “Red” Nelson, a son of one of the original immigrants.

Title: Happy day for eight youngsters.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-45698 HAPPY DAY FOR EIGHT YOUNGSTERS NEW YORK -- While Confirmation is normally not an unusual sacrament, it is for a group of eight students -- all of them brain-damaged or emotionally disturbed children -- as they are confirmed by Auxiliary Bishop Patrick Ahern of New York during a ceremony in St. Eugene’s Chapel of Sacred Heart Church in the Bronx. The youngsters are children at the Murray Hill Classes, a nonsectarian private school for children who have been excluded from public school because of the severity of their illnesses. The school rents the chapel from Sacred Heart Parish and uses it as a classroom building. Father Joseph Gleeson (right), associate pastor at the parish, is a volunteer teacher in the school’s released time religious education program. It was he who prepared the youngsters for Confirmation. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (CS-NY-6C-74-DS)

Title: 20,000 hear the Rev. Moon.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-46043 20,000 HEAR THE REV. MOON NEW YORK -- Gesturing enthusiastically, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon delivers a sermon on “The New Future of Christianity” to an overflow crowd of more than 20,000 at New York’s Madison Square Garden. The Korean preacher’s appearance at the famed arena followed a “media blitz” which saw poster pasted up all over the city, frequent TV commercials and hundreds of Mr. Moon’s followers on street corners handing out leaflets and free tickets to the rally. Although the Garden was standing-room-only at the start of the program, people began leaving by the hundreds after listening to 20 minutes of Mr. Moon’s fiery rhetoric. By the end of the sermon more than half of the audience had walked out. During his two and one-half hour discourse, Mr. Moon claimed to have “direct revelations from God” and declared that “the messiah” will come soon and establish the “physical kingdom of God on earth.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (CS-NY-9C-74-DS)

Ezra Graley (in light coat, center), the pastor of Summit Ridge Church of God in adjoining Lincoln County, leads opponents of the controversial English supplemental textbooks in a demonstration at Charleston, W.Va. Mr. Graley, a resident of Kanawha County (which includes Charleston), is free under a $2,500 bond on appeal of a 30-day jail sentence and $250 fine for violating a court injunction limiting the number of pickets on Kanawha County school board property to five, and prohibiting demonstrators from interfering with the “free ingress and agress” [sic] of pedestrians or vehicles. He was one of three ministers to be arrested and sentenced. The ministers, like many of the county’s coal miners and other parents, consider the textbooks to be anti-Christian and anti-American.
