A community celebration marks the opening of Wesley Memorial Church's new sanctuary. The Gothic structure features Henry Lee Willett stained glass and an Austin organ. Faithful support and strong leadership guided the project, seen as a beacon for the town.
A Sunday sermon laments the melancholy tone in modern worship and cites Jesus’s example of joy. It argues laughter is a divine gift and Christians should not bear a perpetual heavy spirit. The talk contrasts Puritan solemnity with the gospel’s call to let light shine through gladness and good works.
The former surgeon general of the United States Public Health Service, Dr. Thomas Parran, died of pneumonia in Pittsburgh at age 75 last week. He left public service in 1948 to join the University of Pittsburgh, leaving a lifetime of service to humanity. His work included authoring The Shadow on the Land, and he spoke of his enduring concern for the nation’s physical health and the battle against syphilis.
The text lauds Dr. Parran for breaking taboos on sexual diseases, boosting understanding, prevention, and cure of syphilis, and reducing deaths. It notes his role in shaping public health discourse, his influence on global health through the World Health Organization, and his campaign against the stigma surrounding “social diseases.”
