When I told my twin brother
of this, he said, “You go to col- (
lege. I will care for the farm." :
God is always willing to help
I you with your decisions. He will ]
speak to you through His ap-
1 pointed ministers. If you will J
< pray, others will pray for you.
If you are willing to sacrifice, L
i others will make sacrifices to F
help you. The perfect will of God
must find its expression through
I imperfect men, like you and me.
No person has ever b e e n re-
warded more than I for obeying
the call of God.
A continual program of study
and search into the nature and
application of religious truths
characterises the First Unitarian
church here.
Rev. Frank Holmes, church
pastor, explains that “the church
is like a school. We learn re-
ligious truths as any other kind
of truth, through honest, critical
interpretation of experience."
To stimulate members toward
a fuller understanding of them-
selves and their beliefs, the
church sponsors sessions such as
the Frederick Eliot forum. The

can be laid in sections over the
basketball-volleyball area to per-
mit roller skating.
Underneath the bleachers are
dressing rooms and showers,
with 90 lockers on the boys’ side
and 60 in the girls' section. To
complete the recreation hall, a
snack counter has been set up
at one end to serve teen-age
tastes. All city youth will be in-
vited to use the top floor facil-
ities on a membership card
basis.
While in the recreational hall,
the visitor is likely to meet Dave
Prichard, who will oversee young
people’s activities on the floor.
He is the first full-time Christian
recreational director in the na-
tion. i
Step down one floor, and you'll
find brightly decorated class-
rooms which adjoin larger wor-
ship halls. Altogether, there are
30 classrooms in the building,
capable of serving 800 of the
3,000 enrolled in Sunday school
at First Baptist. Each class-
room is furnished with colorful
draperies, wall pictures and
chalk boards. Also on the second
floor are two choir rooms.
The first floor contains the
assembly hall, which will seat
340. It will double as an adult
assembly room and a theater for
church dramatic productions.
More classrooms on this floor,
and a women’s lounge, stylishly
decorated, as is the entire build-
ing, by Zelda Frazier Interiors.
Another feature for youth is
found on the first floor—a hobby
shop.
Also on this floor is a suite of
offices for the administrative

The Parish hall of the church
contains a sanctuary and a
chapel, a smaller replica of the
sanctuary which was recently re-
dedicated as the von Stilli chapel
in honor of the former pastor. A
wing off the Parish hall provides
a spacious meeting place for the
congregation and is called Daniel
hall after the late Joseph L.
Daniel, an active layman. <
Daniel hall serves to connect
the sanctuary with Channing

groups on the Bible and basic

tarians have entered into discus-
aion groups ranging in topic-
natter from genetics to Chaucer..
According to Mr. Holmes, the
church will sponsor the discus-
aion and study of any subject
members are interested in pur-
suing.
At present, the church mem-
bership is 410, having doubled
within the last eight years un-
der the leadership of Mr. Holmes
and his peed cessor, the late
Rev. A. E von Stilli.
Mr. Holmes was born in Min-
nesota, received theological
training at the Harvard divinity
school and served in three New
England parishes before coming
here in 1948.

and promotional staffs of the
church. A new pastor's study
has been set in this section, and
a conference room for meetings
of the staff, deacons and other
groups.
On the ground floor, the tour-
ist will find the church chapel.
A gift of Louise Prichard, the
chapel is an exact replica of the
larger sanctuary of the First
Baptist church and has similar
cherry-stain woodwork and pan-
eling. The chapel will seat 280
and contains a Reuter pipe or-
gan and art glass windows.
The windows surrounding the
chapel depict symbolically the
cycle of Biblical history from
Genesis to Revelation. The pic-
ture story told through the win-
dows was prepared by c h u r c h
pastor, Dr. H. H. Hobbs.
Off the chapel foyer are a
meditation room and a bride's
parlor to accommodate those
making use of the chapel for
marriage ceremonies.
A parlor with 2,000 square feet
of floor space is situated at one
side of the chapel. Designed for
receptions and other social
functions, the parlor has been
furnished through a gift of Mrs.
W. E. Price, president of the
Woman’s Missionary u n i o n for
the church.
Also on the ground floor is a
dining room which will serve 600 ;
persons. It can be partitioned by j
modem fold doors, as can many I
sections of the building. A blown ,
asbestos ceiling has been in- i
1 stalled to absorb the usual knife
and fork noise of diners.
Off the dining room is a fully i
! equipped kitchen which will serv- |
i ice all areas of the church. Ar-
