House of Prayer Money
Will Build and Build
Tho second installment of a
series or articles on The House of
Prayer For All People, pointing
to the course the church will take
s-nce the passing of ISishon C. M.
(Daddy) Grace in Los Angeles on
January 12.
By Elder James Long
Secretary of the General Council
Hotise of Prayer
The biggest and most asked
question about the House of Pray¬
er sinee the “timed” passing pf
Bishop C. M. Grace is: “What will
hapnen to the approximately
eighty million dollars in cash and
real estate?” Actually, the ques¬
tion is an easy one to answer.
The church will launch one of the
biggest building campaigns in all
our history. With our member¬
ship doubled since the Bishop’s
passing on January 12, many
churches do not have enough
room.
We are going to build anni-
tonal churches, schools, homes for
the aged. We are going to de¬
velop some of the industries al¬
ready working within the church.
Our coffee plantation in Cuba is
one example. Already we have
soap, face powder and other toilet
articles (which are accepted by the
church) manufactured for us.
Again the House of Prayer For
All People will move forward with
greater speed than before. We
feel that we will still be guided

Woman Who Lied About
Negro Killing Her Husband
CHICAGO (ONP).—Mrs. Mary
Saisi, who fabricated a story about
a Negro killing her husband in
October 1958, was accused here
this week of engineering the mur¬
der plot.
The charge against Mrs. Saisi
who* ironically is on trial before
a Negro Criminal Court judge,
Fred “Duke” Slatgr, former Uni¬
versity of Iowa All-American, is
based on testimony of Richard
Lansirfjj, who is .now serving a
life sentence in connection with
Peter Naisi’s death.
Lansing said that Mrs. Saisi,
with whom he was carrying on an

by the strong apd ever-present
hand of Bishop O..M. Graqe. whose
own hand was guided by Cod. Thus
we invite all America, all the
world, Id watch us grow into one
of the finest and most independent
churches anywhere.
We would like to point to the !
errors about us as being an irra-
tional, uncontrolled group. In the
first place we are three million
strong. Actually larger than
many of the “standard” denomina¬
tions and connections. We own
over 350 churches and an accumu- |
lated wealth of $80,000,000, Are
there many others to make this
claim? In America, no organiza¬
tion, church or otherwise, can ae- j
cumulate this amount being wild
and irrational. Nor can it hold
three million members together.
Every community in which w«
have churches will feel our growth
very keenly. They will see the
people fiom all walks of life who
are our members. We have doc¬
tors, lawyers, contractors, carpen¬
ters, nurses, teachers. You find
them all in The House Of Prayer
For All People.
Next week this article will give
some of the church’s history since
its founding in West Warham,
Mass., 1021 and also answer the
question: What are the chances
of ambitious young men in our
Church ?

The slaying of Saisi, who was

from the building just before she

Cancer Protection Films
NEW YORK — At 9:30 a.m.
morning, the houselights
off simultaneously in 51 Long
Island theatres for free showings
of cancer protection films “for wo¬
men only.” They were seen by an
estimated audience of 60,000 wo-
men.
Some of the women were born
in Jamaica, Long Island, others
j n Jamaica, B.W.I. And some were
visitors from India, China. Japan
and the new state of Ghana. They
were wives of United Nations
delegates living in Parkway Vill-
age, Queens. Most of these for-
eign guests, dressed in saris or-
in colorful Chinese and Japanese
dress were seeing their first can¬
cer education films.
The showings were followed by
question - and - answer sessions.
Eighty doctors closed their offices
to participate in the program.
Governor Nelson Rockefeller

In Chicago, Dr. Warren IT. Cole,
President of the American Cancer
Society, described the movie show¬
ings as “the biggest one-day can¬
cer education film crusade ever
undertaken.” Noting that “one mil¬
lion. living Americans have been
cured of cancer,” Dr. Cole said the
Thursday film showings “will con¬
tribute to the national effort of
saving a second million.”
Two films shown simultaneous¬
ly in the 51 theatres were: Breast
Self - Examination, which shows
women how to detect abnormali¬
ties in the earliest stages and is
helping cut the death toll of can¬

For the first time perhaps, a
platform guest at a Graham meet¬
ing slept during the sermon. It
was the little son of a high govern¬
ment official who drove ail night
from his home, five hundred miles
away, to preside as chairman of
the meeting.
A high Moslem official confided
to a friend that: Graham’s message
was the first clear presentation
of the Gospel lie had ever heard.
"It was wonderful,” he commented.
Ten miles from the city, where
beautiful building and palatial
homes abound, Graham visited a
tiny village whose conical huts are
clustered on rock. NeArhy was
a tiny church where forty people
sometimes occupy six-inch high
mud benches in a room ten feet
by twelve feet. A brush arbor
had been built and crude bridges
thrown across ditches to welcome
the evangelist’s visit.
Some of the people who were
crowded under the brush arbor
had walked twelve miles. All had
sung Christian hymns for an hour
before the (evangelist’s party ar¬
rived. On the way Graham was
briefed on the people s calm re¬
fusal to stop worshipping Christ
publicly despite threats of the
nearby Moslem Chief, ano the pois¬
ed cutlasses of a group of young
toughs. “You can take our goods,
burn our homes and kill us but you
cannot take Christ from us,” said
one when the armed gang threat¬
ened him.
During the service the little per¬
secuted church sang in their own
tongue, “There’ll Be No Dark al¬

i sidered a holy man.
] As the evangelist re-entered
J Knduna he saw a large herd of
j Brahma cattle driven by Nomadi
j Culanis, whose cousins are the
Moslem rules of the region. These
j herdsmen live like Old Testament
patriarchs and may even have
I Jewish antecedents. “Their sacri¬
I fices resemble some practiced by
the ancient Hebrews,” Graham
commented. One man rode on a
heavily laden donkey following
the herd, with a live chicken tied
to its pack.
A buffet supper honoring Gra¬
ham was attended by seventy mis-
ioti.'iries and Nigerians. Among
the guests was a British woman
who is the only Doctor in an eighty
bed hospital. The day before, Doc¬
tor Theodora Mess performed
twenty-one major operations. With
delightful wit she told of patients
whe borrow others symptoms mak¬
ing a diagnosis difficult. “These
people suffer patiently,” she said,
“many coming to the hospital only
as the last resort after village
barbers have hacked at outsized
tumors and hernias.”
Mr. Graham flew from Kaduna
in a small missionary aircraft in
order to dedicate a one hundred
twenty thousand dollar hospital
built, by the Southern Baptists at
the Katangoro cotton ginning cen¬
ter in an area resembling Texas.
The District Ruler, 80-year old Sar-
kin of Sudan, reclining in this
chair in the midst of the assembly
with his shoes off, expressed
thanks for the hosi'al, the only
one within ninety miles. A Bap¬
tist leader cited government sta¬
tistics showing that there was one
trained Doctor for every two hun¬
dred in the Northern Region, com¬
pared with one for every thousand
in America.
Associate evangelist, Grady Wil¬
son, spoke to two hundred special

Three-fourths of them, plus sev¬
eral guards, raised their hands to
indicate their acceptance of Christ
