Evangelistic Services At Nazarene Church Evangelistic meetings now in progress at the Church of the Nazarene. Seventh and Marshal streets, are being well attended. -The Rev. Mason Lee spoke Thursday evening from the parable of the Good Samaritan .setting forth the fact that “to love God with all the heart, soul, mind, and strength, and our neighbor as ourself, must involve more than ‘passing by on the other side’ as did the priest and the Levite. He likened the man who fell among thieves to those who have journeyed away from Jerusalem, a type of I religious life, toward Jericho, a type of spiritual unconcern and sin. The Good Samaritan was set forth as the Christian who had time to extend a helping hand to the ones needing encouragement.” He closed with a graphic account of personal experience, wherein he was asked by his own pastor to bring a family to church who were known as the most unlikely to embrace Christian faith. Through his interest, and the faithfulness of the church, he saw them lifted from the gutter, later to became staunch members of the body of Christ. Mr. and Mrs Boyce Pierce and their daughter Linda, who are in charge of the music, feature vocal combinations along with the use of the organ, piano, string-base, accordion, and guitar. Services will continue at 7:30 each evening through Mar- ± 30. Church school goal far this fcnday is 200.

Promise Highway Work At Evansville Pledge Is Given By Governor Handley INDIANAPOLIS <UP)—A delegation of Evansville Republicans and business leaders was pram* ised Friday that Governor Handley’s administration will speed up plans for highway development at Evansville. The delegation, headed by State Sen. Albert Wesselman, was told there will be early action on plans for an Evansville bypass, and early consideration of a proposal for an east-west expressway on the city’s north side. The group met with Governor Handley, highway chairman John Peters, and other highway spokesmen. George M. Foster, highway department executive director, said a study on relocation of U- S. 41 to bypass Evansville to the east should be completed in “30 to 45 days." Former Rep. Edward Mitchell of the Bth District, Vanderburgh County Republican chairman, said the bypass is needed and Evansville is the “only major city" without one. "You’re letting us sit down there with a city of 140.000 people while you're bypassing villages,” Mitchell said. Peters told the delegation the state will “go along” with plans for the expressway, which he said could be provided next year if the city and county would pay 25 per cent of the cost. The state would match that amount and s£ekthe other 50 per cent from the federal government, Peters said.
