A monthly column of names in the news There’s a new kind of experiment going on in Nevada this fall in the field of psychotherapy. Under the di­ rection of Dr. Cecil Stokes, sound re­ cordings are being made at various positions along the side of Hoover Dam of Johnny Desmond vocalizing on four sacred selections. Dr. Stokes says the unusual acoustic situation of Hoover Dam produces a soothing ef­ fect on mental patients when they listen to musical recordings made there. Desmond, with an organ and the various recording equipment, is stationed on a platform which is raised and lowered along the dam in an effort to locate the ideal acous­ tic situation. Recordings are being made of “ Rock of Ages,” “ The Lord’s Prayer,” “ In the Garden” and “He Leadeth Me.” The size of the dam, its topographical location combined with the water, produces one of the most natural echoes in the world. In Kansas City, Dr. Clifford Lewis has been appointed president of the Kansas City Bible College. Dr. Donald G. Barnhouse is one of several ministers that will be fea­ tured on a new TV series starting this fall. The telecast, “Man to Man,” will first be shown in the East and will reach the Far West by July. Evangelist Billy Graham has re­ ceived a pat on the back and good wishes from a leading Roman Catho­ lic weekly published by the Jesuits. The weekly said: “We rather like Billy Graham. We also wish there were more like him where he came from.” It also commented: “We have the impression that he is one of the vanishing race of Protestant divines with whom a Catholic scholar could actually sit down and talk theology.” “He is evidently intelligent, sincere and genuinely zealous. Undoubtedly he is doing a lot of good among Prot­ estants here and abroad.” The Amer­ ica felt that huge crowds gather to hear Mr. Graham, “not because they seek a show as some critics have suggested, but because millions of Protestants are hungry for God.” It added: “ They recognize a voice which speaks with the unmistakable accent of one who believes in the great doc­ trines of the Christian faith — the Holy Trinity, the Incarnation and the Resurrection.” “We wish Billy well in his mission of recalling God to the minds of a secularized world.”
