HARRISBURG sffr TELEGRAPH MAY 29, 1943 'If Lift, d( JsJw THIRD NEIDIG MEMORIAL CHURCH The present or third building of the Neidig Memorial Church, United Brethren in Christ, as shown above was erected in 1887 with additions and improvements in 1908, 1913, 1920, 1926 and 1941. The edifice stands on the site of the original church in Oberlin, constructed in 1793. Special services marking the observance of the 150th anniversary o'f the church founding will close tomorrow with Bishop G. D. Batdorf speaking in the morning.

Bishop to Talk Church Observes 150th Anniversary The Sesque Centennial celebra tion of the Neidig Memorial Church, United Brethren in Christ, Oberlin, will close tomorrow with Bishop G. D. Batdorf preaching in the morning and the Rev. Dr. J.

H. Ness, superintendent of the Pennsylvania Conference, in the evening. The Rev. J. R.

MacDon ald is pastor. The church was founded by the Rev. John Neidig, after whom it is named, with Christian Landis and John Light. As trustees they erected a church building in 1793 on the site of the present one, which today is the oldest of all purely United Brethren in Christ Churches. The original church served as the home of the Neidig Memorial worshippers until 1850, when a larger structure replaced it.

The second building was larger than the first and stood on the same site. There were two doors leading to the auditorium where seats were divided by a perma nent partition running through the middle. The left side was for men and the right for women, ex clusively. After 37 years, in 1887, this building was replaced by the present one. W.

H. Horner, superintendent of the Sunday School, was elected in September, 1907, and has served continuously to date. His connection with the church is of long standing, going back through his mother, Mrs. George P. Horn er, herself for many years a member, and to the grandfather, Christian Good, a local preacher and one of the leaders of Neidig Memorial in its early days.

Christian Science "Ancient and Modern Necromancy, Alias Mesmerism and Hypnotism, Denounced" is the sub ject of the Lesson Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, May 30. The Golden Text is: "The Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed" (Isaiah Among Bible citations com prising the Lesson Sermon is the following: "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept faith: And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever" (II Tomothy 4: 7, 18). rne bermon also in cludes the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "Christians must take up arms against error at home and abroad.

They must grapple with sin themselves and in others, and continue this warfare until they have finished their course. If they keep faith, they will have the crown of rejoicing When the. final physical and moral effects of Christian Science are fully apprehended, the conflict between truth and error, understanding and belief, Science and material sense, forshadowed by the prophets and inaugurated by Jesus, will cease, and spiritual harmony reign" ((pp. 29, 288). Sunday's Matt Church Stresses Need of Prayer By THE KEV.

FRANCIS M. MOXGELLUZZI In tomorrow's Mass the Mass of the Fifth Sunday after Easter the liturgy of the Catholic Church indicates to her children the necessity of prayer. The in' troit continues to sing the joys of the Easter season. "Declare the voice of joy, and let it be heard, alleluia. Declare it even to the ends of the earth; the Lord hath delivered His people, alle luia, alleluia.

In the collect the Church asks God to answer the prayers of her children. God, from whom all good things proceed grant a fa vorable reply to our lowly pe titions." The epistle (James 21 27) warns us against empty religion and false prayers. Hearing the word of God is not sufficient. We must also practice it. "Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves." The words of St.

James hold a challenge for the world today. Religious leaders, social reform ers, civil authorities are empha sizing the crying need for re ligion. Everybody is talking about getting back to God. Yet, how many individuals, when alone with their thoughts, can truth fully and justly say they are closer to God today, than they were on December 8, 1941? Too many of us are hearers of the word and not "doers. In the Gospel (John XVI, 23 30) our blessed Saviour points out the necessity of prayer, "Amen, "amen, I say to you, if you ask anything in my name, He will give it to you.

"Ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full." Prayer is the beginning of all that is good in man. Therefore, indirectly, it is the beginning of all that is good in nations. Prayer expresses, at least in germ, a will ingness to conform and unite one will to the will of Uod. Implicit in every prayer is the acknowledgment that one is com pletely dependent upon the provi dence of God. How often in the past decade has the Catholic Church, through the voice of Christ's Vicar on earth, the Holy Father, sum moned the peoples of the world to prayer? Prayer could avert or reduce the horrors of war Prayer has the power to stop tanks and bullets.

Mechanical things do not operate them selves. Men operate tanks; men drop bombs; men direct bullets; men fashion the destiny of na tions. And men are affected by prayer. When man prays sin cerely, he necessarily turns from evil and seeks good. One would not fear a tank operated by St Francis of Assissi.

A nation would not fear aggression from another nation whose destiny is being formed by men like St Aloysius Liguori. The offertory verse sings the praises of our Lord, whose suffer ings, death and resurrection give value to our prayers. The secret prayer and the post communion ask our Lord to hear the prayers of those that believe in Him and receive His body and blood in the sacrament of the holy eucharist.

Lentz, committee co ordinator, announced today that fire com panies in many of the communities in Upper and Lower Dauphin county, will act as tin can depots during the summer months. Until the close of the schools for the season, students of the various consolidated, grade and high schools are taking properly prepared tin cans direct to the schools. These tin cans were collected by soft drink bottlers and shipped to the detinnlng plants along with the tins collected in Harrisburg and the immediate vicinity.

The co operation of the fire companies will enable the collection of tin cans to continue until the schools open in the falfr Schmidt also stated today that the tin can collection on May 13 had been the largest single collection since the beginning of the program.
