DTH Photos by Jock Lanterer Mis Voice Rings Bible Belt By SID MOODY HARLAN, Ky. (AP) T h e rusting screen door that ad vertised "Dr. Pepper" on one of its slats swung open and a tanned man in a straw fedora, red sport shirt, two-toned jac ket strode into the general store. "Hi, I'm Reverend Grady Wilson," he said to a handful of mountain people lounging by the counter. "I'm preach ing down at Huff Park tonight and I want y'all to come on down to the meeting." His heavy Southern accent rang with the hearty enthusi asm of the Fuller brush sales man he once had been. But now he bore a different mes sage. Grady Wilson is an evange list, the latest in a long line that has been coming to this mountain country of the Bible Belt ever since Squire Boone, Daniel's brother, first trekked over the Cumberland Gap to bring the Gospel to the fron tier. Grady now brought the K message in a powerful air conditioned, leather-topped station wagon that had a musi cal tape recorder laoded with "As1 1 Remember Hawaii" by Alvino Rey. But his message was the same as the squire's: Repent, accept Christ and be saved. American evangelism has been a blend1 of folksiness, humor and hell-fire. It is in grained in the Bible Belt that runs through the heartland of the nation. Evangelism endures, and Grady Wilson, who looks more like a 47-year-old non-touring golf pro gone somewhat to flesh than he does a cleric, is nonetheless all evangelist, heart, mind and voice. Grady has preached in Chin gola, in Northern Rhodesia, with six armed soldiers on the platform with him and 150 more surrounding the stadium to guard against Communist agitators. He preached in Maracaibo, Venezuela, where Castroites put spikes on the road to keep people from com ing to hear him. MORE COUNTRY If he is more country boy, more humorous and anecdotal than Graham, Grady Wilson can, as one of his associates put it, "get right down to the roots of sin." In Harlan, standing under a banner that read "Jesus Said 'I Am the Life,' " Grady Wilson was doing just that. He had been drawing 1,000-plus people a night. In the first week 130 people had made decisions for Christ. After the sermon, Oradjy started up his car to get a bed time snack of three hot dogs and glass of buttermilk. A young boy, a parolee from re form school, came up to him to make a private decision. As the motor idled, the boy leaned his hands on the door and Grady said a prayer over him. "We've been trying to reach that boy for three months," said Bell, standing in the darkened football field of Huff Park. "He probably heard Grady saying God was a for giving God and it hit him. He has no education, no family and nowhere to turn, nowhere except God." Bell continued.

The essential thing is proclamation of God's good news to the world. Our tradi tion is evangelical. Our life, our tastes are based on an agrarian culture. They are simpler than those of an urban society. The prayer meeting her6 is religious but it is also social. It's a chance for the people from one hollow to see the folks up another hollow." "We're not doing anything new," Grady conceded. "I put in topical references to the time, to Kentucky, but the Gospel is relevent to the world.

You've seen advertisements for it in the DTH. You've seen the sign on Franklin Street. What in the world is it? Being the curious advertu ress that I am, I decided to find out. After puzzling over the sign tWat hangs between two beauty-shoD si2ns and has only the word "Sascha," the picture of a violin-playing Rus sian (complete with furry hat and high boots), and the hburs of the establishment, I boldly ascended the steps to whatever "Sascha" is. I found a most interesting' door, painted bright-blue and green, over which tAing anot her "Sascha" sign, a wrought iron lantern with vellow bulb and a wicker basket lor mail.' Stepping through the door ,1 saw what I was looking for: "Sasrha." But I must confess to disappointment. "Only ano ther coed-clothing store," I grumbled to myself. I ' was soon to learn, however, that this was no ordinary clothing store Inside the room, I found giant-sized pictures of James Dean, Ringo, and Jean Har low on bright-blue and green walls. The "ceiling glittered With tin-foil, and pleasant mu sic drifted to my ears. On vari- UUb ciotnes-racks hung some very un-ordinary fashions. Tfe owner of the store. Miles Eric Ludwig. 24, and his petite wife. Henerieka. greeted me with smiling faces. Miles (as he prefers to be called) is a Senior at UXC, majoring in Radio, T. V.,and maiorina in Radio. T.V.. and Motion Pictures, and is last year's winner of the Thomas Wolfe award for writing. He was very enthusiastic about his new business, opened on Oct. 26, and soon informed me that "Sascha" is, indeed, no ordinary clothing store. "I opened this srop because I was tired of seeing girls in the usual traditional bag," he explained. Miles sports a phi losophy which he calls "ecs tatic fashion," a getting-away from the commonplace. "Since clothing is a media of expression, and since we are living in an age wrich Marshall McLuhan ( a con temporary philosopher) calls 'evolved with the technologi cal stimulation of conscious ness,' " said Miles, "ecsta tic fashion is an important part of the times." The atmosphere of the store is purely informal, and Miles encourages coeds to come up and relax; Wave a cup of tea (graciously served), sit down and read a magazine, or mere ly browze through the "ecsta- lie itiauiuna.
