April 26.1 for the ninth annual observance of 'Guild Sunday" to pay tribute to sacred music and honor of the work oi tne American oouo. oi urgarusts In advancing the ministry of mu-1 tic. Clergymen, church organises and will co-operate to emphasize the strong role of sacred music in praise and worship. To give recognition to their organists, choirmasters, and choirs, many churches will feature special organ recitals, compositions by guild members, and choral anthems which refer to music in worship.

The observance is made each year by religious bodies Df all faiths, on the third Sunday "following Easter. Founded in 1896, the American Guild of Organists has a present membership of 12,000, with more TnrTT w.j on this day is given to the Voted to elevating the standards of ljn mission project with which have church music performance and qua! )ity, and to developing a generally broader appreciatfcn of sacred music. This is done by conducting standardized musical examinations, by encouraging new compositions and presentations, and by promoting musical interest among congregations and the general public. Examinations in organ playing, musical theory and knowledge, and choir direction are conducted annually under a charter granted to the Guild by the Board of Regents, University of the State of New York. This charter authorizes the Guild to issue certificates of Fellow, Associate, and Choir Master to persons passing the examinations.

The highest guild examination, for fellowship, is said to be one of the most comprehensive musical examinations given in this country, and its successful completion is considered a mark of distinguished achievement. To date, 350 organists have passed the fellowship examination, 1,109 guild members are associates, and 71 hold choirmaster certificates. Membership in the guild is non-sectarian, and is available to both organists and choirmasters in all religious bodies. Many clergymen, edu- )cators and musicians are honorary members. The guild has made considerable advances not only in elevating the standards of musical performance, but also in developing new anthems, hymn-tunes and organ compositions.

It sponsors numerous contests within its membership for this purpose, and local and regional branches take an active part in organizing music festivals, model services, church music workshops, and performances by visiting musicians.

Reverence, Beauty Combined in Plans For Catholic Chapel BLOOMFTELD HILLS. Mich. Reverence and modern design are being combined by 11 volunteer artists to create at Greensburg. one of the nation's most unusual Catholic chapels. When Sister Mary Francis of the Sisters of Charity came to Cran-brook Academy of Art.

Bloomfield Hilis. Mich last fall for advanced study in painting under Wallace Mitchell, she intenaea to prepare sketches for a mural and crucifixion group in the chapel her order was planning at Seton Hill cotiege, where she teaches. As the sister discussed her work with fellow students at Cranbrook, however, she discovered that several architects, weavers, sculptors, and inetalsmiths were interested enough in her project to donate their skills and time for a complete refurnishing of the interior. Explaining why much of the work is being done in abstract style. Sister Mary Francis said: "I believe we should glorify God today in contemporary manner and materials." "Since the residence building of the Sisters of Charity is called Assumption Hall," Sister said, "we are trying to express the assumption in every phase of the chapel's decoration." Ariston Nakpil.

Philippine architect studying at Cranbrook, prepared architectural plans for the interior, and, as the only other Catholic on the project, helped the sister with the ecclesiastical exactness of the designs. Off-white walls will form a neutral background for the jewel-toned stained glass windows which Sister Mary Francis herself designed in geometrical patterns. A sanctuary rug has been designed for hand weaving by Alice Kagawa, of Honolulu. Geradline Kavanaugh, a Detroiter and Cranbrook graduate now in the styling division of General Motors, is designing natural-stained birch pews in free forms to be supported by black wrought iron irames. Sacred vessels, the tabernacle, candlesticks, censer, sanctuary lamp and bells, will be fabricated by Richard Thomas, instructor in metal-smithing at Cranbrook Academy of Art.

and students Florence Johnson, New Brunswick, N. William Allen, Detroit; Winifred Clark. Neenah, and Ernest Toth, Melvindale, Mich. Tse Yun Chu, Hong Kong, will weave orphreys for the vestments, and Dorothy Gaymer, Lansing, will weave antipendia and tabernacle veils in all liturgical colors. Designed to accommodate 160 persons, Assumption Hall is expected to be completed in August.

Sister Mary Francis will return to Seton Hall College as assistant professor of art when she has completed her studies for a master of fine arts degree at Cranbrook. Method'islsWill Mark College Day The Board of Christian Education of the Central Pennsylvania Methodist Conference has designated tomorrow as College Day. Emphasis will be placed on the cause of Christian Higher Education. Lincoln Street Methodist Church will join in the observance. Dr.

Norway Lutherans Claim Churches Nearest Poles The Lutheran Church of Norway lays claim to the Christian churches nearest to the North Pole and to the South Pole. On the Norwegian island of Sval-bard. in the Arctic Ocean, there Is a church building destroyed during World War II but the Lutheran pastor still serves the struggling congregation.

In the southern Atlantic on the British island of South Oeorgia. I Norwegian whalers have built a church, and here they worship on whaling trips into the Antarctic region. This, some say. is fulfillment of Bishop Reginald Heber's words: "Walt. waft, ye wind.

His story: And you. ye waters, roll. Till, like a sea of glory. It spreads from pole to pole. Township Principal to Speak in Local Church Franklin 8.

Youth to Conduct Church Services Each year on Youth Sunday, which falls on April 26 this year, the Episcopal Church's young" people conduct the main service as a wit- I Church.

offering which they they identified themselves. Learning about Alejandra is the missionary project for 1953. A small Mexican village, about 80 miles south of Mexico City, Alejandra was chosen by the National Youth Commission because of its great need. It is a typical Mexican village unpaved roads, adobe houses, no electricity, and no water system other than the near-by river. The Episcopal Church, started in April, 1951, is the only church there.

This year the offering will help to build a boys' dormitory at the Internado, the greatest material need of the church in Alejandra. In Mexico the church is not allowed to own property or to operate schools of learning; therefore, it has instituted a system of Internados, where boys or girls live, study, and worship under the church's supervision, but attend the government schools for their academic training. At present there are 10 boys living at the Internado, but it is "hoped that its capacity can be increased to one hundred. Out of the Internado can come more men for the church's ministry which is a desperate need in Mexico. Work Completed On Church Film Alan Shilin, producer of missionary motion pictures" for the National Council of the Episcopal Church, reports from Madras, India, that he has completed shooting footage on the new film on the Church's Philippine adventure.

Most of the completed footage was shot in three places the city of Manila, the Igorot country of Northern Luzon and Zamboango in Mindanao. The color film includes shots of mountainside rice terraces which make one's head swim; shots of native life including dances, the rice-cycle and the daily problems of a people only two generations removed from head-hunting. Shilin was deeply impressed with the spirit of co-operation shown by Bishop Binsted of the Missionary District of the Philippines and feels that this film may be one of the finest to appear. Thousands of United States service men who passed through the Phillipines during World War II will be particularly interested in this film. School Receives Award For Soil Conservation The Navajo Methodist Mission School, Farmington.

New Mexico, institution of the Woman's Division of Christian Service, Methodist Church, has received an award from the Soil Conservation Agency which listed the mission as a "friend of the land." Recognition came largely through the work of Byron Tharp, farm supervisor, and Verlin Metzger. dairyman and orchardist. They were selected as outstanding farmers of the county. Among the farm projects was the leveling of a weedy, foul-smelling area, transforming it into a productive alfalfa field. The Methodist mission had a bumper crop of apples and potatoes.

The dairy herd produced over pounds of milk with butterfat. The school gardtn of two and a half acres yielded two tons of string beans and quantities of other vegetables. Chemistry as a science had Its origin in Egypt, according to the Encyclopedia Comment istian Love longer present. The dissensions among the Corinthian Christians were very much like those that have appeared aaatn land again in modern churehr. Who Jhas not oeen church divided about the merits, or demerits, of some minister? One who knows, also, ho often such disaemion has been shatp and strong.

At Corinth they were divided over the respective merits of Paul. A polios and Pe'er. Some even adhered to Christ, not a possessing all that the others miaht have, but as the leader of party I Corinthians 1 11-13. Against all this Paul proclaimed the an-inclusivmtes tf Christ as -the tt Ond and the wisdom of Ood ime 94. I believe that it might be said tBat sharp as deferences of opinion mat be.

there ran be rid larrrl where the ChtisMike stiifi! prevails. OMirr among the Corinthian disciple. concerning matters cf conduct and the problems that arose in followihg the Christian way of life in a pagan tommuhitr, Mere gain Pa il proclaimed the tolerance botn tt love, the freedom cf the in-diVid ial forwiente modified by an expedient regard fat the tohsrien-tiou sruptrs ef others.

Weekly Bible Church Quarrels and Chr By WILLIAM E. CILROV.

D. D. There are many thing the two Epistles that Saint Paul wrote to the Christians at Corinth, the lam-crt tn the New Testament. But much in the letters has to do with the dissension that arooe so early in the church there. Particularly noteworthy is Pauls comment and counsel cotirernina these church quarrels, and especially his torn-mendation of Christian love as the due great means of overcoming them.

This eulocy of love rose to us great-rn hfieht in the chapter of the Fits? Epi'tie. Whether the at Cor inth amounted to ac'tial quarre) or hot. we cannot tell. But the difference of npiiiioit and the division evidently verv unarp. Throueh-nit the Ions hitoty of Christian rhurchr.
