Since 1926 he has supervised the three churches on the First Mesa of the reservation, site of the Old Walpi pueblo of tourist fame. The Indians have been virtually destitute since their sheep grazing privileges were withdrawn. Today church donations are a major part of their resources.

There are some 4000 Hopis on the reservation, of whom more than 300 are on Mr. Adams' mesa and comprise his three church missions.

Modest Ceremonies The character of his message and his personality being universal, and as such revered and appreciated by all Christendom, it is unnecessary to trace here the rest of Paul's travels and work, his preaching and his writings, down to his martyrdom.

For all these reasons the Church of Greece, being one of the several branches of the Eastern Orthodox Church, has confined its celebrations on the occasion of the 1900th anniversary of Paul's visit to Athens to rather modest and strictly religious and ecclesiastical ceremonies throughout Greece, particularly during the week from June 25 to July 2. However, the one r'Tkable thing about this church is that it still maintains the ancient forms of worship, its old traditions and ceremonials, and rightly claims the distinction of the Prri BILTMORE THEATRE JfKcc 520 W.

Russian Patriarch Alexius head of the 500-year-old Moscow Patriarchate, although in charge of the largest group of Eastern Orthodox worshipers, being more or less an official of the Soviet state, is in a class by himself, and the same is true of all Orthodox Churches east of the Iron Curtain.

Frederic E. Dittmar, rector of Epiphany Episcopal Church, Sichel and Altura Sts.

The pastor has undertaken a sweeping program of changes to adjust his parish to the life of the community around it. In Mr. Dittrnar's six-point program, the most far-reaching goal is establishment of a home for boys modeled after the famed Nebraska "Boys' Town." Seven Boys for Home Following a tour of boys' homes in the East, the pastor has announced that the home for wayward youths will be known as "Epiphany Hall" and that it will be operated temporarily in the Epiphany Church rectory. Under the present plan, seven boys from the Los Angeles Juvenile Court between the ages of 12 and 16 will be taken under supervision. They will attend public schools but will make their home at Epiphany Hall.

Besides the rector, the staff will include a cook, housekeeper, athletic director and part-time case worker. Mr. Dittrnar's plans call for Epiphany Church becoming the chapel of a future large "Boys' Town."
