March 21 Dr. Frederick M. Elliott, president, American Unitarian Association. March 22 The Very Rev. Arthur B.

Kinsolvlng, Cathedral of the Incarnation, Garden City, L. organ recital by Ruth Tressel. March 23 The Rev. William L. Wunsch, Church of the Neighbor.

March 24 Dr. Herbert Field, Flatbush Presbyterian. Many Lutheran churches hold both German and English Lenten weekday services, choosing different evenings. At Bethlehem Church, Cortelyou Road and E. 7th a series of Lenten pictures will be used as the basis for sermons, copies of the pictures being distributed to the congregation.

Episcopal churches us a rule have guest preachers for their weekday services, sometimes Episcopal rectors and sometimes from other denominations. On Monday afternoon at St. Matthew's Church Dr. William C. Salisbury of Janes Methodist will preach on March 20; Dr.

Alfred Grant Walton of Tompkins Avenue congregational on March 27, and Dr. Charles Schweikert of Trinity Baptist on April 3. Episcopal preach ers win officiate on Friday evenings, tne Rev. Wolcott W. Ellsworth on March 24, and the Rev.

Thomas Settle, Church of the Nativity, on Marcn 31. At Duryea Presbyterian Church where a new type of Lenten program is being followed, covering many different ages and subjects, the subject on Wednesday afternoon will be "Shirley Goes to Boggs" at the fam ily service. In the evening, "The World Problem in the Crusade for the Return of God in will be discussed by Dr. William Clark Duff, pastor. The Lutheran Chorus of Brook lyn, Jacob Ehm, director, is giving a series or presentations of "The Seven Last Words, of Christ" (Dubois).

On Tuesday evening the cantata will be sung at St. James Lutheran Church, Ozone Park. At Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church, Dr. Alvln E. Magary will continue his series on "Vital Matters or Today" with the subject on Wednesday night "War and Peace." He will discuss pacifism, the New Testament and the soldier, and the United States in case of war.

At Plymouth Church of the Pil grims Alexander Finta will speak at tne rnaay evening service on Sculpture as a Pathway to God." Dr. J.

Marcy Avenue young people have a traditional Easter communion which we will adopt this year. Emmanuel has a Memorial Day picnic and Marcy a Labor Day conference, both of which we will continue.

At Williamsburg, Dr. Lord organized a Boys' Brigade some years ago, which has uniforms, although a military organization. At a recent service 75 boys were present. This is too valuable an asset to the neighborhood to give up. We are keeping to this promise in all our planning.

We will hold to all that is good and that seems to fill a need in the united congregation, and develop new projects of service as circumstances prompt as time goes on. With decreased overhead and increased resources of money and membership there would seem great possibilities for the future in extended service to Congregational for business people at the Hanson Place Central Methodist Church, as was done last year. The services will be held each morning at 11 o'clock, with Good Friday hours, 7:45, io and 11 o'clock. In addition to the regular services. In which clergy of all denominations participate as presiding officer, Scripture reading, prayer and short address, two dramatizations will be presented by the WPA Federal Theater Project.

"Christ in Geth will be presented on Mon day and Tuesday and "In Pilate's Court on Wednesday and Thursday. These will lead up to the climax of the the Cross Service Good Friday, with the Rev. Martin Paul Luther as the reader of the Passion 8ervice. Pantomime will be an added feature this year. Holy Week Drama Both dramas have been written by Nancy Longnecker of First Presbyterian Church and Lester Lonergan Jr.

"Christ in Gethsemane" dramatizes the scene where Jesus' three disciples await their Lord as he prays alone in the garden. Off stage voices of Jesus and the rabble come to take him are heard. The entrance of the mob, headed by Judas, closes the drama. The miisic of the Crucifixion accompanies the drama. "In Pilate's Court" pictures the trial of Jesus, the pleas made to Pilate by bath Jesis" friends and enemies, and the dramatic washing of hands by Pilate as he disavows any responsibility for the crucifixion of Jesus.

Music for Services Music for the services will be provided by the Brooklyn Lutheran Chorus, Jacob Ehm, director, each day through Thursday. On Good Friday the American Legion Male Chorus and the American Legion's Auxiliary Chorus will sine. Alvah Nichols will direct the singing. The Aida Brass Quartette will play for the Cross Service.

and St. James Place, will celebrate tomorrow the reception into its congregation of members of Marcy Avenue Baptist Church as a result of the recent merger of the two churches The third member of the combined church, the First Baptist Church of Will iamsburgh, will formally Join a el on May the delay being caused by the celebration of its centennial soon after Easter. Although the merger will make possible placing Eev. Jaka Leslie Bart a el at the top of the Baptist Brooklyn list for membership, the expectation being at least 1.500 active members, the pastor, the Rev. John Leslie Hart, says: "This proposition is not to be con sidered in terms of bigness alone, only in so far as greater resources will enable us to present, interpret and apply more adequately the re ligion of Jesus, in tnis day 01 many problems facing a metropoli tan church, if the church ministry is to be vital, its services must be of wider scope than many small churches can render alone.

In this case we are hoping, when these historic churches, each of which has rendered vital service in the past. combine their spiritual and financial resources, the consolidated church can meet a challenge of a new and extended work that no one church can do alone and render a more inclusive, vital and specialized ministry." Healthy Co operation Mr. Hart said that there had been many evidences of a spirit of co operation between the three congregations, even before the formal union had taken place. "One of tin; most outstanding evidences of this," he said, "was the action taken by Emmanuel to abolish the practice of having assigned pews. It was not a case of rentals, simply assignment of preferred pews.

We wished to avoid any possible embarrassment on the part of our new members and to assure them a genuine welcome to their new church home. "We want everybody to feel that this plan is in no sense an absorption of the other congregations by Emmanuel. The other churches, both of which were founded before Emmanuel, and with Emmanuel, are daughters of old Washington Ave nue Baptist Church, had not reached the end of their usefulness, but are coming to join with us in a new work, with a new and more inclusive type of ministry, and great visions of what the future may hold lor the larger body." Mr. Hart said that of course no details of administration had been worked out as yet. "But I like to vision a multiple ministry," he said.

"There should be a ministry of worship, a ministry of education, a ministry of music and a ministry of counsel to meet personal problems, each ministry directed by a man specially fitted for his own type of work, and trained in his own field. Many psychiatrists are now referring cases to religious counsel. Our wills have always been oriented about Jesus. This field of personal counsel is a vital part of the work of the church. We are very proud of our ministry bf music at Emmanuel and have found that the music worship services have increased rapidly in attendance.

To illustrate the efforts at co op eration already made, Mr. Hart spoke of the meetings held by the women, involving exchange of social courtesies and climaxing in a recent luncheon at Emmanuel with 160 women guests from the three churches. The officers have met frequently to form plans for united work in the various fields covered by the women's groups. Good Projects Continued "There may have been some projects identified with the individual churches that may not be wise to continue," said Mr. Hart, "hut there are others, specially with our young people, that are so valuable they will Baptist tmmamtrl SaptiBtCCIinrrli Lafayette Avenue and St.

He spoke at the community Lenten service yesterday at Holy Trinity P. E. Church, Clinton and Montague Sis. Pastor Miller said in part: "Stephen was a layman assigned to care for widows and orpuhans, but because he also preached the Gospel of Christ and declared that Christ was greater than Moses and the Temple he was condemned by the Jews and stoned. He was stoned because he preached something against the popular belief.
