dnside the cross, which will be illuminated at night, iwill be shrines for all denominations. The paths leading up to the "cross will be paved with stones from the paths in the Holy Land where Jesus trod, and cedars from the forests of Lebanon will be part of the landscape picture. Mrs. Chapman, who is appealing to the 5,000,000 membership of the federation to contribute and solicit funds for this inter-faith shrine, first became interested in the project when the idea was presented to her by 58 - year -old Wayman Presley of Makanda, 111. Presley, a rural mail carrier, has been the leading advocate of the cross since the idea for a shrine first came to him while he was walking with a friend after church. Nearby Bald Knob struck him as the perfect site, just 70 miles from the population center of the U. S.
