Description: Text transcribed from caption: GRIST MILL CHURCH #S-5015 CLINTON, Tenn. -- Rural parishioners enter St. Mary’s Chapel, their tiny, unpainted one-room church hewed from rough pine boards and containing a home-made pulpit.

But they thought it more important to have a church. So a small, white cross replaced a business sign over the doorway and the hut was immediately converted to the service of God.

With a combined membership of more than 714,000 members the new group ranks 13th in size among Protestant denominations. It is relatively strong in Pennsylvania and the Midwest. First attempts to unite were made in 1813, and while unsuccessful, a close association existed between the two churches. In 1933 commissions from both churches were appointed to work out the detail which were accepted by both groups. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (JR-JOHN-BS-11C6-W)

Title: Sabbath reminder.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: SABBATH REMINDER #S-4908 ODESSA, Texas -- Since the attractive billboard shown above was erected outside the Ector County Court House here a year ago attendance at all of Odessa’s 11 churches has noticeably increased. Sponsored by the Odessa Ministerial Association, the sign has prompted tourists to compliment the town on its church-mindedness. The Ministerial Association now has plans for three other signs to be put up at the edge of town, where they will be seen by one-third of the nation’s coast-to-coast highway travelers every year.
