Chapel of the Four

The Rev. Daniel A. Poling, world-famed preacher, resigned last week from Philadelphia's Baptist Temple to assume direction of the Chapel of the Four Chaplains, a memorial to the four Army chaplains--two Protestant, one Catholic, one Jewish--who went down with the torpedoed troopship Dorchester in 1943 after giving their life belts to G.I.s. One of them was Dr. Poling's own son. The inter-faith memorial now being built in Philadelphia will have a Hebrew tabernacle, Catholic altar and Protestant altar on a revolving base.
