Cross Blazons Message Across 7/600 Square Miles; Plan Amphitheatre (This is the second of two articles concerning the story of a 500-foot cross, tallest religious symbol in the world, in which shrines will be provided for all denominations.) For the second meeting, a small electric cross was provided, power for which was supplied by a noisy tractor-driven generator. By the fifth, year crowds of 10,000 were>; attending the sunrise Services, and the local facilities were so overtaxed that publicity had to be curtailed until such time as land could be purchased" and accommodations expanded. , The story of the initial fundraising effort (for the original land purchase) among the nottop- rich members of the Bald Knob foundation is heartwarming in itself. One farm woman sold a litter of pigs, and another made patch-work quilts to raise money. Presley, in order to meet a deadline oh his option to buy the property, secured a "faith" loan of $10,000 from a Cairo bank, a loan that has been fully repaid. The idea of the united mountainbop worship center had by this time inspired men and women in the area to the task of developing it even beyond the hopes of the two men who had originated the idea. One hundred and sixteen persons from thirtyfour towns and five states, representing nearly eVery denomination and walk of life in the Midwest, contributed $100 each comprise the Bald Knob..Christian Foundation, Inc., a nondenominational, non-profit, statechartered corporation whose purpose is to erect a cross and a worship center on top of Bald Knob. Presley, the untiring mail carrier, was a natural for tfie appointment as executive secretary of the Foundation. The little' group has since managed to assemble funds to build a foundation for THE CROSS, and only recently. 200 tons of concrete were poured to provide a foundation for a 2,000- ton structure. Though a number of offers have been made to finance the building of THE CROSS, or $>, raise funds. ranging from a quar-^ ter of a million to $2,500,00.6, the Foundation found most of them tainted with personal interest or other undesirable aspects. In order to avoid losing control of THE CROSS, and to protect it from any type of commercializa' tion, all offers were rejected. Finally Presley went to Mrs. Chapman, president of the General Federation of Women's clubs, the world's largest women's organization, to solicit her aid in obtaining responsible backing for THE CROSS. After investigating his story, and learning o: the wonderful work the Bah Knob group has been doing for almost two decades, she was able to pledge the interest and cooperation of the General Foundation of Women's clubs. Through it's 15,000 clubs, world will be reached. But Mrs. Chapman urges anyone who •Wishes to contribute direct to mail his contribution to: THE CROSS, Cairo, HI. Present plans call for construction of a 500-foot cross, the tallest religious symbol in the world, in which shrines will be provided for all denominations. At the top of the cross, but so planned as to preserve the continuity of design, wiU be a forest ranger lookout post and an observation tower for visitors. The east and west faces of the cross are to be brilliantly illuminated so that it will stand out as a landmark for miles around. An elevator and stairway will proyide access to the various Revels where shrines and religious Exhibits will be installed. Paths leading up to the cross to a purchase fund, and now donors in every part of the free L.I.A.
