...city area is black. To meet the needs of the new congregation, Father Joseph Putnam, 40, its white pastor, employs more than one kind of tradition. The freewheeling Sunday services, though Catholic in ritual, are heavily Black Baptist in flavor. Music Director Alexander Rankins, a Negro, pounds an old upright piano, leading the al-tarside choir in standard Negro spirituals and other numbers from three books on the piano: The Catholic Mass, The Baptist Standard Hymnal and Gospel Pearls.

At 39,250 ft., the craft will begin rolling into a face-up position, pitching into an upright attitude at the same time. Twelve minutes later, its rate of fall slowed from 5,660 ft. per sec. to between 3 f.p.s. and 5 f.p.s., the LM will touch down. The first contact with lunar soil will be made by 5-ft. probes dangling from the LM's footpads. When...
