First Lady Honored By Church Women Presbyterian First Lady Os The Land LAFAYETTE, Ind. (INS)-Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower was to be honored today at Purdue University as the "Presbyterian first lady of the land.” The wife of the President was to receive in absentia a gold pin denoting honorary membership in the national council of Presbyterian women’s organizations. She already was a member of the NCPWO at National Presbyterian church, Washington, D.C. . In honor of Mrs. Eisenhower, Presbyterian women throughout the United States contributed money to be used for missionary purposes. Presentation of the pin signifying the honor was part of a national council meeting now in progress at Purdue/ w Also this morning, Dr. Charles T. Leber, New York City, told the e,6bo Presbyterian women attending the meeting that a "Christian revolution” is needed to combat Communism. Dr. Leber, who is general secretary of the board of foreign missions for his church, said that even if Communism were wiped from the face of the earth “there would remain the revolutionary determination of the politically, socially, economically gnd religiously enslaved to be tree. Communism Is just as truly a missionary faith as Christianity . . .” He argued it is the job of Christian missionaries to understand Communism intelligently and know how to combat it in centers of Intense Communist missionary work such as Japan, Southeast Asia, India, Iran, the Near East and Africa. Dr. John A. Mackay, moderator of the 1953 general assembly of the Presbyterians. Wednesday night told the women that “the present highly dramatized inquiry” in Washington thrusts upon the American public the question “What is truth’” Dr. Mackay's apparent reference was to the McCarthy-army hearings although the Princeton Theo; logical Seminary president did not mention them by name. He said: “One problem which needs special exploration in the light of Christ at the present time is the problem of fanaticism ... the fanatic is a person who lives by feeliqg and is opposed to ideas. He usually starts from a half-truth which he makes an absolute truth and thereafter is violently opposed to all viewpoints and ideas which challenge his own.” The national gathering of Presbyterian women is to close June 7. To keep fried foods from being greasy, add a teaspoon of vinegar to the frying fat. ... W „ jfz SAY IT WITH FLOWERS from
