LOOKS OVER HIS SKY 'PULPIT': Rev. William Hainsworth, pastor of the Webster Congregational church for the past seven years, looks over the roof of the Dexter coffee shop from which he will preach at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, when he puts into practice the 27th verse of the 10th chapter of the Book of Matthew: "What ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops." Rev. Mr. Hainsworth believes too many persons practice surface Christianity but fail to introduce the principles of Jesus Christ into daily living. He hopes a roof-preaching tour, which he will begin next week and which will take him over much of the nation during the next month, will start people thinking about religion as a daily way of living. While Rev. Mr. Hainsworth has made no public plea for funds to finance his tour, an account has been opened in the Dexter Savings bank, where contributions for the tour are being placed.
