forces of Freeport and America
were disunited, Even the Protes-tant
people could not join on
many issues.
"But nve decades have very
hopefully altered that unwholesome
sectarian exclusiveness. Increas-ingly
we are realizing that Jesus
was wise in setting for our goal
one God and one shepherd.
"As members of our Freeport
Inter-Faith Clergy Council includ-
:,* leader* of the.
and
Ish congregation, we offer the rec-tot
and the people of this thriving
ul lurch *our heartiest felicitations
on the occasion of its Golden An-niversary.
"Upon her and her interests we
pray God's richest blessings and
ofTer earnest hopes for another
fifty years of fruitfulness for the
Kingdom of God on earth."
