CHICAGO (NPI) — Memorial services for the Rev. Mary G. Evans, 75-year-old pastor, for 35 years, of Cosmopolitan Community Church (5249 Wabash), were held last Saturday in the church she guided to an influential and inspirational niche in religious circles. Rev. Evans died April 12 in Presbyterian — St. Luke’s hospital after an illness of approximately six weeks. She had been hospitalized there twice, the last time on Good Friday. Cremation followed the final

rites.

A native of Washington, D.C., the minister began her career at the early age of 12 in Quinn Chapel AME Church on the southside, preaching her first sermon as a child evangelist. She followed evangelism until she was called to the pastorate of St. John AME Church, Indianapolis. ) In 1932, she was called to Cosmopolitan, an interdenominational church, at a time when it was $36,000 in debt. Launching an extensive renovation and rebuilding program, she led the congregation in building a $238,000 community house, Faith House (5259 Wabash) in 1949 to house a gymnasium and

offer arts and crafts and meeting facilities. Three years before, Cosmopolitan had established a nursery school and playground for 100 pre-school school children. In 1963, the $235,000 "Home That Love Built,” was constructed (51 E. 53rd St.) where Rev. Evans and 26 elderly women were housed. Adjacent to the home was a playground for teenagers. Bom Jan. 13, 1896, the deceased was the youngest of four daughters of the late Richard and Margaret Green. She was rared by an aunt, the wife of an Evanston 111.) minister. She attended Wendell PTiillips high school and Wilberforce University, Xenia, Ohio, where she earned a Doctor of Divinity degree. She also did graduate work at Butler and Columbia Universities and the University of Chicago. During her evangelistic career, Rev. Evans travelled throughout the United States, Europe, Asia and Africa. She also attended the World Sunday School convention in Zurich, Switzerland and visited Palestine. There are no immediate sur-

vivors.

of Fame.

Designated a Distinguished Military Graduate upon graduation from the school in May, 1955, Bussey was one of 11 officers selected for induction in the newly established Hall of Fame from more than 500 who have been commissioned by the North Carolina institution since its first ROTC class in 1946. According to Lt. Col. Harold L. Lanier, professor of Military Science at A. & T. College, Bussey was selected for the honor “because of his scholastic performance at service schools and his outstanding performances of duty.” The 32-year-old native of Washington, D.C., has twice been designated “honor graduate” of service schools he attended, and has been awarded two Army Commendation Madals for meritorious service.

Continued from Page 1) vote. Wallace didn’t use the word “segregation” once and carefully pronounced the word “Negro.” Though silent on racial matters, he showed his concern about what the state’s Negro voters - - whose numbers have doubled since last August - - could do to him. In Little Rock, Ark., Brooks Hays, whe lost his Congressional seat in 1958 because of his attempts to mediate the 1957 integration crisis, announced his candidacy for governor. A racial moderate, he said ‘'■he “would not deviate one bit”

from his previous support of interracial peace. Nationally, leaders of both political parties came out for increased attention to the Southern Negro voter. T w o liberal Republican groups urged the Republican National Committee to help register Southern Negroes and to discipline “lily-white” GOP organizations in the South. The Republican Advance and Republicans fqr Progress said if was “sheer madness” for Southern Republicans to run as segregationists. Republican leaders have noted that the number of new Negro voters in Deep South states far surpasses the number of votes by which President Johnson lost these states in 1964. This development would likely give President Johnson an automatic victory in the Deep South should he run again in 1968 - - unless Republicans woo many of these voters to their camp. Meanwhile, Democratic party officials in Washington considered using funds from corporate advertising in a partysponsored publication to assist Negro voting registration in the South. The plan would provide $600,000 for voter registration work. The development shaking up white politicians was the massive increase in the number of Negro voters in Deep South states - - especially Mississippi and Alabama. The number of Negro voters in Mississippi has increased from 35,000 last August to 122,000. In Alabama, it has increased from 112,00 to 228,000. Overall, Negro voting in the Deep South has increased 50 per cent since the 1965 Voting Rights Law went into effect last summer.
