           ACCOUNT SET UP FOR JAPAN EARTHQUAKE RELIEF

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--Presbyterian World Service has established a 
special account for those wishing to contribute to relief efforts 
in Japan in the wake of the devastating earthquake that killed 
thousands there Jan. 18. 
 
     The account number is 9-2000117 and it is labeled "Japan 
Earthquake Relief."  Presbyterians may contribute through their 
local congregation. 
 
     According to the Rev. Dan Rift, coordinator of Presbyterian 
World Service, Presbyterians are playing a key role in the relief 
efforts through the denomination's Yodogawa Christian Hospital, 
which came through the earthquake relatively unscathed.  Because 
it is pretty much fully operational, the hospital is a primary 
receiving site for the injured. 
 
     Presbyterian missionaries assigned to the hospital are the 
Rev. Lardner and Mollie Moore.
