NAMING 4 cHUncn.

Methodist Protestant 81
What's in a names A church by
any other name would still be q
church, And yet there are certain
properties to be observed that seem to
be Important. Many churches have
names gwen them that makes ono stop
to wonder why that name was chosen
In preference to some other. Ii appears
to lack propriety and good taste Tho
name '.chapel, usually with some
adjective prefixed which locates IL, or
which possesses the name of some in
dividual to be honored, is given to
many churches. But why call alohurch
a chapel? In Catholic parlanoe It
means recess or side aisle attached
to oathedrsls and abbey nhurohes. In
England the name chapel was used by
Dissenters because the establishment
would not permit them TO oaii their
buildings churches. The word seems
to have had its originlin France. The
kings carried the hat Of st. Martin
into the battlefields, where 1t @as kept
In tent As a precious relic, whence
the place took the name cspella-a
little hat. In these tents services were
held; the priest who had custody OF
the tent and its little hat Was CALLED
capellsuus--chaplain. From thence q
small church or a subordinate place OF
worship began to he cnlled chnpel. II
But the size OF the building Abonld
not determine the name. We are ant
to call small struoture n chapel and
large one church. Then we add
another name, and call 1t Brown "a
Chapel, or Smiths Chapel, putting II
20 the possessive form; when neither a
Brown nor Smith have ownership In
1t. Sometimes the locality siettrmines
the prefix. 1t ID Cove Chatel, or
Rocky Mount Chapel, OR Gave Spring
Chapel. This LOCATES IT, But why
call 1t chapelf 1t lis church. even II
it holds only SCORE Of worshippers.
Equally improper, We think, Is the
custom OF calling church after some
beloved minister OF some prominent and
useful lay member. A building erected
and dedicated to tho service OF God
should not be named after any man,
not even after saints, martyrs OF
apostles. Wherever such building
stands it should be known AZ Christ
Church, and yet We would not give
that as specific name to any church.
To give thatonsihe. to q particular
church, WinsIao ontfadistinction with
another, might lead us TO assume that
the other was not, Chtist's church.
Mount Ii very common aa d prefix. We
have seen churches that had Mount
prefixed when the churches wers built
In valley. The seneitie thing to do
is to locate the church In the name.
Call 1t Park Aysnue, or tRoystop
Street, IL it Is in the city, and not ST.
Paul,s, or Christ's, or Brown a Chapel.
II It is 8, In 1s the country et y take the
town IL IL WI which L i losstsd, sSa l Ct
them all be known as churches Of
Christ, not simply because they are
churches, but because they do the
two that churches ought TO do m
