“Sister Gar-

Elm Grove,
about every
light
and
the
own
something to do to keep them out of
trouble.”
Williams said one of his aims is to
buy a used school bus so he can take
the youngsters on outings. He said
many of the children know no other file
but the camp.
Helping Williams is Clevie Garner, a
long-time camp resident who said she
has been preaching “ten or twelve
years.”
A great-grandmother, Mrs. Garner
has several of her children and 11
grandchildren living in Community
Camp.
As for problems in the wooded com-
munity, also known as
Mrs. Garner said "just
kind" of problem exists.
Mrs. Garner, known as
ner,” said common law marriages are
prevalent in the camp. "If this was the
only place doin’ it, It would be a dis-
grace — but it isn’t."

The Good Book says rain falls on the
just and the unjust, but church-goers at
the Riverside Mission wish it would
rain on them less often.
For the past two months, spring
rains have sent streams of water pour-
ing into the old frame church, tucked
under the Canadian River Bridge at
SW 6 and Pennsylvania, an area com-
monly known as Community Camp.
A leaking roof and sagging ceiling
are only two of the problems confront-
ing James Williams, minister of the in-
terdenominational church, a long-time
center of community life in the camp,
one of the city’s oldest poverty pockets.
Williams, a layman who earns a liv-
ing as a trucking firm employe, serves
the church without pay.
"A lot of missions like this have got a
mother church to help out, but we
don’t,” Williams said.
Williams, who lives in Bethany, dis-
deliverlng a load of clothing one day.
He has been the minister there since
January.
"I don’t get a dime for preaching."
Williams said. "I just do it for the love
of these children."
With a monthly offering averaging
less than $5, Williams pays
church’s utility bills out of his
pocket.
The old building, ‘with bare
bulbs dangling from the ceiling
faded, unmatched carpeting under the
hard-backed benches, Is heated by an
old-fashioned wood-burning stove.
"If we can get the church roofed and
get some clothes for these children,
that will be one of the greatest helps
we could have,” Williams said.
He said he is confident if materials
can be bought or are donated, people in
the church and teen-age volunteers will
do the labor.
"I'm going to try to organize a ball
Nazarene Church Names Minister of Education and Music
ness sect, Mrs. Gamer said she left her
own church to "come down here and
help to build this one up. I have nothing
against the denominations. We’ve ail
got to live the same kind of life, and be
as a little child, or we ain't gonna
make
dents grew up here and just stayed.
They just don’t have the desire to get
up and do anything else."
Mrs. Gamer said the face of the com-
munity changes constantly, as families
move In and out. “They say rent’s so
high out, they just can’t afford it."
' Williams, who grew up in the Assem-
blies of God denomination, said he's
“going to go up to Tulsa” sometime to
be ordained an interdenominational j
preacher.
“There’s been many people saved up ______
at that altar,” he said, glancing toward ----
the front of the dimly-lighted church. James Williams
