Ministers Urged
To Get Close to
People's Interests
Ability of a minister to get close
to the people in their personal in-
terests is vital to putting over a
repgious message. N. B. Harde-
man, Memphis, Tenn , evangelist,
said here Monday.
Hardeman is here for a series
of lectures in the College Church
of Christ. They will be held at
10:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. daily
through Friday. Exception is Wed-
nesday evening, when the lecture
will be at 6 pm.
"Too many preachers have a
one-track mind," Hardeman said.
He asked young ministers to take
an active interest in the “common
things of the earth.”
A knowledge of farming, for
instance, would be invaluable to
a minister in a rural area, the
80-year-old evangelist said.
American history is equally val-
uable and furnishes many illustra-
tions with which to dramatize a
sermon, Hardeman said.
He also touched on the record
of God’s dealings with the human
race from patriarchal days into
the Christian era.

Swans Frozen

BOYNE CITY, Mich. m—Two
swans who long have made their
home on a local mill pond were

be taken over by two men who
have bought liens on them
One of the buyers yesterday was
Joseph Harris, a realtor of Bald-
win, N.Y., who paid $5,372 for a
lien on the delegation's big estate
at Glen Cove. The estate, known
as Killenworth and formerly owned
by the late George du Pont Pratt,
is assessed at $354,250.
Harris also owns a $10,587 lien
on Killenworth which he bought
last year. According to the law, the
buyer of a tax lien can take over
an estate provided the owner does
not settle the unpaid taxes within
two years after the lien is sold
Milton Aronauer, of New York
City, bought a $1,893 tax lien yes-
terday on another Soviet delegation
residence, known as Norwich
House, in Upper Brookville, N.Y.
In the past, the Soviet delegation
has objected to paying the taxes,
saying it should be exempted from
paying real estate levies. There
was no new comment from the
delegation.
