Deas, pastor of Newman Memorial Methodist Church, Macon St. at Throop Ave., was very reluctant to talk about himself or his work. He showed THE BISHOP AND THE HONOREE — Bishop G. W.

He said he preferred to be able to move around observing this or that fruitful activity re­ sulting from his efforts, and to be able to go away to start another, without the person in­ volved realizing how it all came about. Rev. Deaa had paused In the interview to explain why he did not want to say much about his activities in Brooklyn. He point­ ed out that even ip some as­ pects of the integration fight it was advisable to operate with­ out publicty. Perhaps this rather retiring clergyman inherited the singular element of humility from the en­ vironment of devout Methodism which led seven members of his family into the ministry. H1 s grand-father had helped found a Methodist church in the South. But he himself was born in Montclair, N.J. He went through Bergen County schools, finishing up at Westwood High School be­ fore moving to Boston, Mass, for his university education. He took bachelor’s degree from Bos­ ton University and another in religion from Tufts College. Then at Harvard University he did his graduate studies. Of the Divinity School of his time. Rev. Deas said he agreed with Theo­ dore Parker that it was “a first class embalming institution,” not very good in divinity. Today”, he added, “it has reverted to a policy of conserva­ tism more palatable than the muddle-headed liberalism of those days”. Those years embraced the period from 1933 to 1941. He then was religious editor of the Boston Chronicle. During that time also he was already showing the involvement in community or social life and problems characteristic of his present ministry. He served as local youth council leader, a vice president of the NAACP, mem ber of the Governor’s Council on Youth Employment Program. Later he was sent to Washing ton, D.C. where he served as a research analyst with the Na­ tional Commission on Education. Next he went on loan to the Li­ brary of Congress for reearch in Negro history and records. He was a minister then, having been ordained in Boston it* 19477' His pastorates in Haverhill and Kingston, Mass, included two all-white churches. He served in Lewes, Delaware before going -to New Rochelle in 1949. What he met there was an al­ ley church with 8 people. In 1952 his congregation moved to a new $48,000 St. Luke’s Church which they built. That congregation too, had grown much larger. Rev. Deas has been in Brook­ lyn since 1955. He was reluctant to measure the growth that had taken place at Newman since he came. But he said it “has grown from a small, insignificant church to a very large influential or­ ganization.” Holds Election In the first contested election i its 23-year history, members f the Nassau County Welfare Jmployees Association today ei- cted the entire slate of organi- ation - backed candidates over n opposition slate headed by ictor Saglimbeni.
