Womble Os St. Mar k’s Episcopal Church Elevated To Priest hood In Morning Ceremony Yesterday. Bishop Penick Officiates!, Prof. MoSJegjen Delivers Sermon. In accordance with the im pressive rites of the Protestant Episcopal church, the Rev. Ru fus J. Womble, who has been for nearly one year Deacon-in-charge of St. Mark’s church, this city, was yesterday morning, in tne church of which he is now Rector, ordained as a Priest. Sermon for the occasion was delivered by the Rev. Albert T. Mollegen, of Alexandria, Va„ and rites of ordination were in charge of the Rt. Rev. Edwin A. Penick, D. D.. of Raleigh, Bishop of the Diocese of North Caro lina, assisted by many visiting clergymen from that diocese and ■ from eastern North Carolina and Virginia. The Rev. Mr. Mollegen, profes sor at Virginia Theological sem inary, from which the newly or dained minister was last year graduated, had as his text, “God is Love,” from St. John’s gospel, and in his message impressed up do the congregation that it! is not a simple task for a minister to act as the interpreter of the love of God. “Knowledge of the meaning cf of God’s Love,” said the speaker, “requires an understanding of ecclesiastical background, espec ially of of the first century of the Christian church in compar ricn with the church of the pre sent day. God must be thought of as a God of power and right eousness still, bofore we can dis cover the persistent cause of man’s sense of estrangment from God, although His love is a gift to sinful man.” “The doctrine of loving thy neighbor as thyself has its dif ficulties,” said the Rev. Mr. Mol legen, particularly in a world at war when groups are arrayed against groups, but if God is love it is the task of the Church and of her ministers to show this at all times.” Special tribute was paid to the Rev. Mr. Womble, by both Bishop Penick and by the Rev. Mr. Mollegen, the latter charac terizing him as one who accord ing to his abilities best exempli fied the traditions of the Church (Continuedl On Back Page) o CCC Boys Form Bucket Brigade To Put Out Fire Boys cf Roxboro CCC camp No. 429, yesterday turned fire fighters, forming a bucket bri gade to help put out a fire in the kitchen of a house on the S.

Man’s Lung Power Wins In Contest With Auto Blaze Clyde Atwater, Roxboro fire man, has lung power: evidnee of his ability was shown here Mon day when smoke began to pour from the hood of a parked au tomobile on South Main street, near First Baptist church, across the street from the fire station, and Clyde and other fireman rushed to the scene with booster tank equipment. Clyde raised the hood, took one look at the small blaze, caused by a short circuited wire, and then took a deep breath before he literatly blew the fire out. Back to the sta tion went the unused booster and the men who accompanied it. Less fortunate was Ben Harris, Negro, city sanitary department employee and driver of a depart ment truck which caught fire and burned up the same day, near the municipal dumping ground. Harris reported that the blaze developed when he steppd on the starter.
