Hometown's Need
Is Spirit, Vigor,
Pastor Tells Lions
"Yes, we need world vision, but
we'd better 'gear in' in our own
hometown where living and relig
ion go hand in hand." Dr. Ches
ter Hamblin, pastor of First Pres
byterian church, told the Salem
Lions club at yesterday's meeting.
Speaking on "What Makes a
City Great," Dr. Hamblin cited
"God's redemptive purpose in
man" that man may transform
his environment for .the better
as the key to relating a city's hu
man resources to an Easter theme
before a business man's group.
A city's greatness, the minister
declared, lies in the spirit and
vigor of its; people, not merely in
its name abd location and "var
ious chamber of commerce attri
butes that have to do with trans
portation, raw materials and the
like." I
