LIKE THAT OLD OAK TREE IN THE POEM ABOVE, THE EWING PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH HAS ALSO STOOD SILENTLY AND STATELY THROUGH HUNDREDS OF YEARS. THE RAVAGES OF TIME HAS TAKEN A TOLL ON THAT
MAGNIFICENT CHURCH. IT HAS BEEN STRUCTURALLY COMPROMISED AND THE TOWNSHIP WAS FORCED TO PLACE IT OFF LIMITS TO THE PARISHIONERS. SAY A PRAYER THAT FUNDS CAN BE FOUND TO RESTORE THAT HISTORIC PLACE OF WORSHIP SO THAT IT WILL STAND FOR ANOTHER CENTURY.

WOULDN'T IT BE WONDERFUL IF THE EVER-GENEROUS UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WOULD CHANNEL SOME OF THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF FOREIGN AID FUNDS BACK TO AMERICAN AREAS WHICH ARE IN REAL FINANCIAL NEED?
HOW ABOUT A FEDERAL DEPARTMENT ESPECIALLY DEDICATED TO FUNDING PROBLEMS SUCH AS EWING PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IS EXPERIENCING? I EVEN HAVE A SLOGAN FOR THE NEW GOVERNMENT AGENCY:
"CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME."
(THERE I GO, DREAMING AGAIN!)
