Dodge, a Baptist minister and Indian agent, began efforts of the denomination in the Beehive state, and was later joined by the Rev. Sewell Brown, sent by' the American Baptist Kojne Mission Society. When Rev. Dodge was recalled in 18t4, the small congregation they had begun in the hone of a Mr. Palmer on Third South Street disbanded. The disbandment didnt last Rev. The long, however. Dwight Spencer arrived in Ogden in 1881, and began a with 12 memcongregation bers that same year. He later mved to Salt Lake City and a group at the organized hopie of J. E. Berkeley. Not losg after, this congregation mAved to Pendleton Hall, 60 W 2nd South. Dr. G. B. Morse, a medical missionary, joftied the group. Building Begun On Aug. 26, 1883, the cornerstone was laid for the old First Baptist Church in Salt Lake City, on the southwest corner of 2nd South and 2nd West.

It Prayer Foes Cite Bill of Rights Case WASHINGTON (UPJ) -Opponents of the current campaign to legalize prayer in public schools say they are more concerned about the effect success of the effort would have on the Bill of Rights than they are about the issue of the prayer itself. Drinan, Rep. a Jesuit priest, noted that the proposed conto amendment stitutional allow restoration of prayer in schoolrooms would alter the Bill of Rights by modifying the amendment ordaining separation of church and state.

McCoy Tribune Church Writer to list their bir'hdate, business address, telephone numbers, childrens names and birthdates, their grade in public and religious school and their scholastic grade. Persons other than members of the family living in the home are also to be listed, the rabbi said. Most important of all, we're asking our members to list their Yahrzeit. Tnese are the names and death dates of their ancestors. Each week, as a part of our Sabbath worship, we say a special prayer and read the names of those whose anniversary of death occurs in the week, he said. Important Part Tins is an important part of Judaism, and those whose names we read are not necessarily only deceased members of our congregation. People who move will often list their Yahrzeit in the new syna- Record-keepinis an impore tant part of activities in most churches. Dates of baptism and similar important ordinances are usually listed, yet how extensive the listing is varies with the g behind-the-scen- denomination. Keeping records is a very modern trend tor most synagogues, said Rabbi Abner L. Bergman, Temple B'nai of Midvale Community United Methodist Church and Sandy Community Church. If the individual is part of the family, tne same information would be listed for the spouse and children. he said. Such records are required by our discipline. We also have to keep a constituency role of persons who are friends of the church but are not committed to membership. Theology Involved Theology is involved in this record keeping, in that as God cares for us we should he care for our members, said. Pastor Sparks said persons who move are given a letter cf transfer for their new congregation. However, the main records remain with the original congregation. Persons needb-- to prove a birth date can frequently do so with church records, he said. Among the more elaborate church records kept are those maintained by the Memberthe ship Department of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-daSaints, which has g fce said. Methodist United Churches keep a membership record listing the name, address, telephone numbe- -, date of birth, date of baptism and date of membership, said the Rev. Lynn M.
