DEAR MR. PUBLISHER,
BY PARSON JONES
Dear Mr. Publisher:
I had the funniest dream the other night. I dreamed the
world council of churches decided that all the denomination
in the world oughta get together. They claimed that every
church should be made up of every faith. For instance, my
little church would include Catholics,Methodists,
Lutherans, and so on.
First off, they tried the freedom of choice plan, where a
member could decide where he wanted to go. The idea was
that of their own free wills, church members would provide
a denominational balance in every church.
Well sir, that approach didn't turn out too good on ac
count of .some people still preferred their own churches .Some
foils wouldn't go to another church 'cause they said it was
too far to travel. It looked like the hole program was gonna
fall apart when the vtorkl council of churches came up with
another plan. They decided to make membership assign. -
ments and bus people to their designated churches. There
was a lotta grumbling at first, but pretty soon folks got used
to the idea. But it wasn't long until they decided the de -
nominational balance should cut across state lines. Folks in
Alabama started attending church in Florida and vice versa.
That wasn't too bad. Next they decided that the northern
Christian and the southern Christians ought mix. Pretty soon
church members in South Caiolina were attending with the
Catholics in New York.
That plan worked so well they decided to "bus" folks from
one continent to another. That way people in the United
States were attending church in Germany and versa visa. It
got to be such a big thing that people had to give up their
jobs and go to church full time. I woke up before every
body starved to death.
So long for now. Parson Jones.

WASHINGTON - Congress -
man Roy A. Taylor has called

priated $195.5 million for this

submitted to the House Appro
