SIDEWALK CENSUS

The Inquirer will give away 20 station wagons to churches soon. How could a station wagon be of service to your congregation?

Six ministers whose congregations will participate in the Atlanta Inquirer's Treasure Chest were asked the above question. Their answers and pictures appear below.

H.M. Smith, pastor, Mount Sinai Baptist Church, 422 Merritts Ave., N.E.: "We could use a station wagon in several ways. One way we could use it is for transporting children to Sunday School."

W.A. Potter, pastor, Shaw Temple A.M.E. Zion Church, 38 Hightower Rd., N.W.: "We could use a station wagon to pick up the aged members and children."

William Holmes Borders, pastor, Wheat Street Baptist Church, 357 Auburn Ave., N. E.: "It could help in many, many ways in bringing children and elders to and from church. It would help in running errands during the week, and in transporting people to and from fellowship meetings."

C. S. Stinson, pastor, Warren Memorial Methodist Church, corner of Ashby and Ashby Grove, S.W.: "It would be of service to us by transporting those in remote sections to youth organizations and other meetings. It would also serve to transport the underprivileged to church school."

BY JULIUS ALEXANDER

E.G. Hinton, pastor, Metropolitan Methodist Church, Rome, Ga.: "A station wagon could serve me first of all as a means of transportation for the aged and also for our youth in Sunday School."

W.S. Mercer, pastor, Radcliffe United Presbyterian Church, 284 Hightower Rd., N.W.: "Living in a suburban area, there are some people who do not have transportation to and from church. We have a camping conference program in the summer and the station wagon would serve as a means of transportation back and forth from camp. Any modern church needs its own means of conveyance because the demands for transportation are many. I congratulate the Inquirer for this particular promotional effort."
