Church News SECTION B Saturday, April 4, 1959 Rev. Paul Kugler Resigns from Anaheim Free Methodist Church The Rev. Paul H. Kugler, minister of the Anaheim Free Methodist church since September 1955, has resigned his pastorate here to accept a position with the Los Angeles Pacific College. The Reverend Kugler came from the state of Nebraska. He attended Los Angeles Pacific College where he received the Bachelor of Theology Degree in 1944. He served the Prescott Arizona Free Methodist Church as pastor for six and one-half years. While there he and Mrs. Kugler were married and their two children, Linda and Leon were born. They now attend the Benjamin Franklin School in this city. In 1953, Reverend Kugler worked for the Los Angeles Pacific College as purchasing agent, superintendent of buildings and grounds and directed the student work program. His new post will be in the field of public relations and deputation. He also will be the director of alumni relations, in student recruitment and field officer. While in Anaheim he has promoted the College by obtaining the support of more than $40,000 in gifts and contributions from Orange County. Mrs. Kugler plans to work in the registrar's office at the college and will continue her work toward a teaching credential. The children will attend the Bushnell Way School in Highland Park, Los Angeles. This new work will take the Reverend Kugler into the states of California, Arizona, Oregon and Washington. The Anaheim pastor states that he feels "his is a 'call from God,' and that Christian education is a very important element in today's society, a balance for the secular materialism and the rage of self expression. "Our term of work in Anaheim has been more than gratifying and we have appreciated the many friends and neighbors that have so generously expressed their love and interest both in the church and the parsonage family. We will cherish the valuable friendships that have been made," says Reverend Kugler. The Kuglers are to be succeeded by the Reverend and Mrs. Robert Spurling from Seattle, Wash. Lutherans To Build Hospital in Pacoima Construction will begin in Coima this month on a $2,500,000 hospital resulting from the operative efforts of 43 Lutheran congregations which represent nine Lutheran church bodies in U.S.A. Lutheran congregations undertook the sponsorship of a new community hospital in the San Fernando Valley after attention by non-church groups to finish the building failed. According to the Rev. J.G. Simmons, of North Hollywood executive vice-president of the institution, the 100-bed structure to be called the Pacoima Memorial Lutheran Hospital will be able to治 sick and suffering of races, creeds and colors.

In Catholic Church Is Largest Religious in Country with 36,023,977 Membership ORS: This is the 12th in mittent series of disrofiling America's maous bodies.

Relations Have Improved Despite continuing tensions over some issues (such as government aid for parochial schools), Catholic-Protestant relations in America have improved notably in the past 30 years. One measure of the improvement is the often - expressed belief that it is now possible for a Catholic to be elected president. Objective observers believe that peaceful co-existence is the closest relationship that Catholics and Protestants are likely to attain in the foreseeable future. Although both sides are committed to the goal of Christian unity, they have made no detectable progress toward resolving the deep doctrinal differences that stand in the way. Catholics believe their church is the "one true church," founded by Jesus Christ, and invested by him with infallible authority to teach and define the Christian faith. They believe that Christ committed to St. Peter the care of the whole church, and that this role has descended to each of Peter's successors as bishop of Rome. The title "pope," applied to the bishop of Rome, comes from the Italian word for father. Catholics Accept "Tradition" Catholics, like Protestants, regard the Bible, as divinely inspired. But, unlike Protestants, they accept "tradition" as an equally valid source of revealed truth. They say that some important aspects of the Christian revelation were never set down in writing in the Scriptures, but were handed down through the ages, from the time of the first Apostles, by word of mouth. On the basis of tradition, the Catholic Church teaches some doctrines for which Protestants are unable to find any warrant in the Bible. An example is the dogma, proclaimed by Pope Plus XII in 1950, that the Virgin Mary was taken up bodily into heaven (theological term is "assumed") at the end of her earthly life. Catholic worship centers around the Mass. Non-Catholics who have heard a Mass sung or recited, largely in Latin, sometimes have difficulty comprehending the tremendous significance this ancient service holds for Catholics. Renewal Of Sacrifice To Catholics, the Mass is not merely a re-enactment, but a "renewal" of Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Those who participate in the service share in the "merits" which he earned for mankind by his self-giving on Calvary. Catholics also believe that the bread and wine consecrated on the altar become, not symbolically, but "really and truly" the body and blood of Christ. Those who partake of the sacrament in Holy Communion receive Christ Himself as the food of the soul. Catholics are required on pain of mortal sin to attend Mass every Sunday and on certain other holy days.

Catholics are required on pain of mortal sin to attend Mass every Sunday and on certain other holy days. While they are urged to take communion frequently, the only fixed requirement is that it be received at least once a year, during the Easter period. A Catholic must confess his sins orally to a priest. A Catholic's minimum duty also includes going without meat on most Fridays and on certain other fast days as a form of penance. Unitarians To Hear Sermon on Golden Rule "Is the Golden Rule unique to the Christian religion?" Hardly reports the Rev. Grant Butler who will discuss the universality of this ethical principle in a sermon Sunday before the Unitarian Society of Orange County.
