THE CHURCH THAT FRIENDSHIP RCILT From an interview with Rev. Elmer W. J. Schmitt on ■ We The People program, heard Friday nights on CBS. I'VE been the pastor of Elmwood Methodist Church in Eastwick for six years. Our church was an old frame building, badly in need of repair. Two years ago, the board of trustees met to see what could be done about rebuilding it. We found it would cost $25,000 — ^much more than our little congregation could afford. Then one of our trustees had a suggestion. Why not rebuild the church ourselves? He offered to supply what lumber we would need from his own lumber yard. We began working evenings and Saturdays — and soon the whole congregation pitched in! Then, a strange thing happened. People outside our church came to me, and asked if they could help. First, an Episcopalian bricklayer joined us in his spare time. Next a Chinese friend donated some tea and chow mein which his children sold in order to buy bricks and mortar. Some German-speaking people — all loyal Americans — contributed money for one wall. An Italian friend cooked spaghetti and sold it— and the money he earned went for bricks for our church. A negro offered to mix the *mortar. Next, a bricklayer from St. Raphael's Roman Catholic Church became interested — and soon the whole bricklayers' union was working with us! A Japanese friend, whom I knew was a good American contributed some money. Then, . as a crowning touch, some Jewish people gladly gave enough money to build a tower for our new church — as a memorial to one of our Jewish leaders— a gift of friendship to their Christian neighbors! The church is finished now. The entire cost was only $750. On next Sunday, our Bishop is coming to Eastwick for the dedication ceremony. We call it . . . "The Church That Friendship Built!" That's just what it is. In these two years, we've known the fellowship of working side by side with friends of different races, different creeds! And we earnestly hope that our "Church That Friendship Built" may be the fore-rurmer of a vastly larger plan — of selflessness, tolerance, and democracy — in a "World That Friendship Built!" MAY. 1942 /i6^as a ^art-Time Wife 99 HOW MRS. E. OVERCAME THE "ONE NEGLECT" THAT MARS SO MANY MARRIAGES I. When Bob and I were first married, I thought we'd be the happiest pair in the world. I was a good manager, a good cook. I'd always been considered attractive. But . , . well. Bob became cold, indifferent. The romantic side of our marriage sinaply fizzled out. 2. One morning after Bob stormed off to work in a temper, my Aunt Sue dropped in. She's a trained nurse. I couldn't help blurting out the whole story to her. "My dear," she said, "when love goes on the rocks, it's often because a woman is careless — or ignorant — about feminine hygiene . . . 3. "It's one neglect," Aunt Sue went on, "that most husbands can't forgive. That's why so many modern wives use Lysol for intimate personal protection. Lysol solution isn't only cleansing and deodorisjing — it kills milUons of germs on instant contact, without harm to sensitive tissues. We nurses know." 4. Never again will I risk my happiness! I use Lysol regularly now for feminine hygiene. It's so gentle — and effective. Economical, too, because it's so diluted in use. P.S.: Bob and I are cooing like doves again. 6 Reasons for using LYSOL ■NON-CAUSTIC— g:entle and efficient in proper dilution. Contains no free alkali. It is not carbolic acid. EFFECTIVE— a powerful getniicide , active in presence of organic matter (such as mucus, serum etc.). SPREADING— Lysol solutions spread and virtually search out germ-s in deep crevices. ECONOMICAL — small bottle makes almost 4 gallons of feminine hygiene solution. CLEANLY ODOR —disappears after use. LASTING— Lysol keeps full strength indefliytely.
