Chapman College Name Of Religion; Succeeds Punishment Is Sermon at CS Churches That evil is its own punishment is brought out in the lesson-sermon on "Everlasting Punishment" to be heard in all Christian Science churches Sunday. The theme for the sermon is set by the golden text from Proverbs, "Evil pursueth sinners; but to the righteous good shall be repayed." In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mary Baker Eddy states, "Fear of punishment never made man truly honest... Reason is the most active human faculty. Let that inform the sentiments and awaken the man's dormant sense of moral obligation, and by degrees he will learn the nothingness of the pleasures of human sense and the grandeur and bliss of a spiritual sense, which silences the material or corporeal. Then he not only will be saved, but is saved" (p. 327). A passage from James reads, "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him." Robert Cunnison Named To Casa Colina Post Appointment of Robert S. Cunnison of La Verne, as administrator of Casa Colina effective May 1 was announced today by Stephen I.

He graduated from the University of California at Berkeley in 1953 where he majored in the hospital administration field. He spent one year as an administrative intern at Hoag Memorial Hospital in Newport Beach, leaving there for a two-year tour of duty in the Navy as a personnel officer aboard a destroyer.

The Protestant Episcopal Church (U.S.A.) is in the process of raising a fund of $360,000 to which the Fuji Electrical Company Japan will add $140,000; and the half million dollars will be used to provide a nuclear reactor for use in St. Paul's University Tokyo, Japan.

Honor Week Saturday, May 2, 1959 SECTION B Saturday, May 2, 1959 County Church Parking Ordinance Liberalization Recommended (By OCNS) If your religious congregation is planning to build a church in an unincorporated area, chances are that you will have to have a medium-size parking lot. The county ordinance, as it now reads, technically requires about four acres of parking space for each acre of church buildings. But the county planning department has decided upon a liberal interpretation of the ordinances. The question of church parking requirements arose last fall when several congregations complained that the present ordinance is too strict. It lumps churches in with theatres, arenas, auditoriums, and other public buildings. The requirement is one off-street parking stall for every three seats... period. In the case of a church, it has been argued that this is an unrealistic formula because there are seats occupied by children who came with their parents—all in one automobile. Church officials have maintained that Sunday School chairs for children should not be counted. In October, the planning commission agrees that the existing ordinance is too strict. Commissioners recommended that the church requirements should be based solely upon the number of seats available for grownups. When this recommendation was presented to the board of Supervisors, the board turned thumbs down, asserting that the proposal was still too strict. Former Supervisor Ben Reddick commented that the formula should be about one parking stall for every seven seats for adults. Since then, the planning commission has made no further recommendations upon the subject. This week, Orange County News Service contacted Ray Reid, chief of the land use division of the county planning department. When asked about the present off-street parking requirements, Reid said that the department will now recommend a liberal interpretation of the present ordinance. In other words, you'll need one parking stall for every three seats available for adults.
