PAGE 8—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, April 20, 1967 County church chosen for recognition St. John’s Lutheran Church, Pomaria, has been chosen by Lutheran Brotherhood as the “ Landmark Church of The Month.” The April issue of the fra ternal insurance society’s pub lication, which has a circulation of 312,000, carries a feature article on St. John’s which is situated outside the rural ham let of Pomaria in northwestern South Carolina’s pleasant hill country. The BOND, monthly periodi cal for members of Lutheran Brotherhood, Minneapolis-bas ed fraternal insurance society, has carried the Landmark church series for 11 years. During that time more than 100 churches out of some 18,- 500 Lutheran congregations in the United States and Can ada have received the maga zines special recognition. Author of the series is Dr. Charles B. Foelsch of New York City, a nationally promi nent Lutheran clergyman, wri ter and church administrator. St. John’s “is a substantial, rather long, narrow, brick ven eer edifice,” writes Dr. Foelsch. “Its design faintly echoes the Gothis tradition, with its steep ly sloped room, cross adorned window, white belfry and mod est cross topped steeple . . . excitingly unusual or monu mental it is not.” “You are right,” says the pastor, the Rev. Donald B. Loadholdt, “What you’ve seen GIVES SENIOR (Continued from page 1) the University Marching Band.

And Americans should begin protesting the coddling of Communists and criminals in this country. I might add “three cheers” for Governor Ronald Reagan of California who has the intes tinal fortitude to ignore the rantings of the do-gooders— and to see that convicted crim inals get their just desserts. If we had more men of this cali ber in public office, a turn in the tide could soon be noted.

The program for “a better-read, better - informed America” has also had the full cooperation of newspapers, magazines and the broadcast ing industry. Special assistance is given to National Library Week by the American News paper Publishers Association and the Magazine Publishers Association. The program is also approved as a public ser vice by the Advertising Coun cil. Work on the expanding ob servance this year has begun, with the formation of local, state and national committees, and the pledging of vigorous support by many individuals and groups of all kinds—relig ious, cultural and educational, fraternal and professional, bus iness, labor, and the govern ment. here until now does not justify our thinking this a landmark. What really gives us landmark distinction is what we call the ‘old white church.’ It was the congregation’s house of wor ship for over 145 years! It is still in good condition, though seldom used since the dedica tion of the new church in 1954.” The structure wears no architectural halo. But how it drips with history! Every year, on the first Sunday in August, the old white church hosts St. John’s homecoming Sunday. Visitors and oldtime members come from the whole Piedmont, Pas tor Loadholdt explains, to join the present membership in hearty worship services redo lent with praise and grateful prayer and preaching and thoughts of the saints who from their labors rest. After church, under the pines out side, . everyone enjoys fried chicken and other goodies. This year, there is to be an added ceremony, the presenta tion of a handsome heavy bronze plaque designating St. John’s a “Landmark Church of Our Faith.” Visitors Day set at state hospitals “More than 6000 of the lone liest people in South Carolina would like to see you during “Friendship Week” at the S. C. State Hospital in Columbia.” Speaking was Mrs. J. E. Logan of Sumter, Chairman of Volunteers Services Committee of the South Carolina Mental Health Association, who an nounced that “ Friendship Week” would this year again coincide with National Mental Health Week. “Visitors are in vited between 9 a.m. and 2 p. m. Tuesday, May 2 through Friday, May 5. On Sunday, May 7, we’re having Relatives’ Day and inviting families to come for the entire day and bring picnic baskets,” said Mrs. Logan. Mrs. Cleo Goodwin, Director of Volunteer Services for S. C. State Hospital, said that the hospital would like to be noti fied as much in advance as possible when large groups are visiting togethe r. Visitors should call or write the Office of Registrar, S. C. State Hos pital, the Superintendent’s of fice at Crafts Farrow, and the Tour Director’s office at Pine- land. “The mentally ill, as irres ponsive as they may appear, are perhaps as sensitively attuned to the language of love and concern as any of God’s child ren,” said Mrs. Logan. “To ignore this need for communi cation with families and friends is to ignore a basic human right,” she added to her plea for making this a “Friendship Week” in its true meaning.
