In discussing the looting and violence that erupted following Dr. King's death, Rabbi Miller said, "We must not allow the smoke bil lowing over the nation's capital to cloud and obliterate the memory of King standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and telling of his dream." Men, he continued, must not associate arson and looting with the philosophy of peaceful non-violence at the core of Martin Luther King's life. Violence is the hallmark of this age, Rabbi Miller said, but men must do more than condemn it.

They must find the source of violence, he added, and eliminate it. Too often, he said, the violence that is illustrated on the front pages of the newspapers and the violence that ironically struck down a non-violent man are encouraged by the callous indifference of the majority. Msgr. Maher read excerpts from Dr. King's "I Have Dream" speech which was given in August of 1963 and Rev.

Aber-nethy read as Scripture the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant from the 18th chapter of St. Matthew. I In commenting on the church's role in the Civil Rights movement, Rev. Abernethy said the church must be challenged to overcome the injustices of today's society. "Men must pray," he said, "to find the universal language of love and brotherhood." The service opened with the congregation singing of "Of My Hands" and closed with a moment of silent prayer and the singing of the Civil Rights song loved by Dr.

King, "We Shall Overcome." The tribute of the Soviet poet, Yevtush-enko, to the slain Negro leader was read by Rev. Deviney. Guitars were' used as accompaniment for this service, which the first inter-faith service ever to be conducted in St. Gabriel's Church. Altar boys of St.

Gabriel's escorted the clergymen of the three faiths, and the Rev. Edmond Ro man was seated in the sanctuary. PASQUA SALE FRIDAY 9 a.m.-12 Noon ST. MICHAEL'S HALL N. Laurel St.
