History
Mrs. R. H. liuinn, director of the
study, began the series by giving
a summary of the history of the
Church, beginning with Peter. She
cited the conversion of Saul of
Tarsus as the incident of greatest
momentum to the Church. Another
momentous decision, she recalled
was that made by the Council at
Jerusalem, which settled for all
time the question concerning
whether or not Gentiles might be
accepted into the Christian Church.
Spread
Mi's. Guinn continued her sum-
mary by recalling the different
movements and leaders in the
spread of Christianity, the break
between the Eastern and the
Western Churches, the effects of
the Crusades and the Reformation,
and the Great Awakening in the
eighteenth century, leading to the
spread of Protestantism in Amer-
ica.

Kii Pace sounded the Call to Wor-
ship given in Second Timothy 2:15:
"Study to shew thyself approved
unto God, ..." For her devotion-

Mollet Andjke
For Strong SlATO
WASHINGTON President
Eisenhower and French Premier
Guy Mollet have agreed to oppose
proposed cuts in NATO forces, in-
formed sources said today.
The sources said the two lead-
ers agreed it is necessary to main-
tain North Atlantic Treaty Organi-
zaiton strength at present levels
at this time because Russia con-
tinues to be as great a threat as
ever.
European NATO members—par-
ticularly Britain—are under con-
siderable pressure at home to cut
their NATO commitments as a
means of trimming defense ex-
penses.
The President and Mollet today
plan a second and final round of
their talks which started Tuesday.
Mollet and French Foreign Minis-
ter Christian Pineau planned to
meet earlier with Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles.
First Aid
WALKERTON, Ind. <U.E> —
The high school basketball team
rode home in an ambulance with
the siren wailing after winning the
St. Joseph County tournament.
The team rode into town on a
fire turck last year after winning
the tourney, but sub-normal tem-
peratures vetoed the outdoor ride
this year. And one player did break
a small bone in his leg in the final
game.

Come do yourself a favor. Try this '57 Buick
Special.
Its price level you can see right here —right
down close to the smaller cars.
But you'll have to see in person how much more
you get for each dollar you pay in a Buick.
Fact is, this one's all new —straight through~
deep inside where it counts most.
Sure, it has the new look and line and dashingly
low profile that go with a brand-new body.
What's more to the point... it has an all-new
engine-mightiest in all Special history.
It has an all-new Dynaflow* performance - a
new Variable Pitch Dynaflow with instant
response.
And there's magic in its new chassis design—
which gives new road-hugging ; lowness with full
ground clearance — and still keeps plenty o£
headroom, hiproom, legroom and footroom.
What all this does for your ride and comfort is
something you can learn only at the wheel.
Try it, at your Buick dealer's—drive the big-buy
big car of 1957.
