\ Recall 1837 Rite Mark Religious Anniversary The membership of the First Baptist church will observe the 136th anniversary of the first religious sermon preached in McHenry county Sunday, Aug. 19, at 6 p.m. It will be in the form of an ice cream supper. Following will be a service in which members are asked to wear costumes of that period of history. The entire community is invited to participate in the rite. More than a century ago, Joel Wheeler came to a little set­ tlement on the Fox river which was later to become McHenry. He saw a great potential for the area as more people would discover the beauty of the many woods and lakes He knew something of the fertility of much of the soil and knew farmers would come. Most of all, Joel Wheeler knew, as people would migrate to the area, they must be reminded of God's love for them. And so, on Aug. 19, 1836, a sermon was preached on the text, Matthew 9:35-38. REV. VIRGLE CHAPPELL Following the preaching of the word, the first church in the entire area was formed. The Rev. Joel Wheeler, a true missionary preacher, became the first pastor of the new Baptist church. This church later died and for many years, there was no Baptist witness in the community. In June, 1961, Pastor Virgle Chappell and his family came to McHenry to begin again the proclamation of a Biblical Baptist message in the com­ munity. Growth has resulted in such service as an extensive ministry by bus, a ministry to the deaf, a tape ministry for shut-ins, a Spanish congregation, more than 500 persons enrolled in Sunday Bible study and many other activities. "Our latest blessing from God is the erection of a gym nasium for a multi-purpose activities building", observed Pastor Chappell. Future plans for the church include some physical provisions for retiring senior citizens of the area, a larger sanctuary for worship services, and another addition to the educational building. ThelS Era to 2,000 A.D. CM BJ ( N E W S O F E A R T H , E N V I R O N M E N T , E N E R G fet More Refineries ? There is just not su fficient re­ fining rapacity in the V.S. to meet the total needs of the Amer. iean public for petroleum nrod- ucts. This in one of the basic reason* for the gasoline shortage. A contributing factor teas the need for refineries to produce maxi­ mum volumes of home heating fuels last winter at the expense of gasoline output. Increased refining capacity re­ quires construction of new re­ fineries. vet none is currently un­ der construction in the V.S. There are four major problems inhibit­ ing the building of new refiner­ ies: Siting, complicated by en­ vironmental opposition; the sour, ces and kinds of crude oil that can he run in refineries; perol- eum product specifications; and the economics of refinery con­ struction. If refinery expansion is not permitted and encouraged in this country, new refineries will have to be built abroad, creating a fur­ ther ilraiu on the nation's balance of payments.
