Ministers Of the City are Forming an
Organization for More Agrees
i've Fight Against Sin.
ALL CHURCHES ARE REPRESENTED
Creeds and Dogmas are Laid Aside for the
Better Advancement of the Church
Work in Kenosha.

ganize an association of the ministers
of the city and the second meeting in
connection with the organization was.
held at the conference room in the
Young Mems Christian Association
building this morning. All the
churches in the city, regardless of
creed or dogma, have allied themselves
with the association. Even the Roman
Catholic churches have united with
their brothers of the Protestant faith
to aid in the formation of the associa-
ton. $
The plans of the ministers in the
work are as yet yelled in secrecy add
members of the association when seen
declined to give out anything in re-
gard to the association more than that
it was gathering of the ministers for
mutual helpfulness. For sometime the
ministers of the city have had no way
to get acquainted and it is claimed that
several ministers have resided in the
city for years without even meeting IN
a social way their fellow 1aborers in
the fight against sin. Rev. E. T. Far
rill is the leader in this worksto organ
ize the ministers and it is expected
that the association, when formed, will
be strong one.
The work of the association in the
light of the secrecy held by the minis
tiers of their plans can be but specu-
lated on, but it is limited that when the
association gets into working order II
will be an aggressive one and will
make some effort to secure better en-
forcement of the laws of the state and
city in Kenosha. Following the meet
ing of last week nearly all the minis
tiers of the various churches made
strong pleas Sunday for better OBJ
servance of the Sabbath. This is
thought to be the keynote of the new
association and some fuller announce
ment of the plans of the association
will be made in the near future.
There is certainly large field for
the work of the ministers in Kenosha
and it is to be hoped that the work of
the new society will be blessed with
dDunQdnC SUCCESS.
In nearly all the cities of the size of
Kenosha in the Northwest the minis
tiers have a strong organization and
hold regular weekly meetings at which
the things for the best interests of the
churches are discussed and at which
the members of the ministry are in
vited to read books on live church
topics. These associations have
proven most profitable in other cities
and this line will probably be followed
out in Kenosha.
The ministers attending the meet
ing this morning were E. T. Farrill, of
the First Cougreg ational church;
Florence Buck, of the Unitarian
church; Perry Bais1er, of the English
Lutheran church; w. w. Stevens, of
Park avenue M E. church; Edward C.
Kunkle, of the Baptist church; James
C. S. Borgaard, of the Danish Luther
an church; Charles Buenger, of the
Evangelical Lutheran church; S. N.
Elvin, of the Swedish Lutheral church;
John F. Romoser, of the German
Methodist church.
The other ministers were prevented
from attending the meeting on ac-
count of important church services but
all are in hearty accord with the move
ment.
