LET PASTOR WASH IN CREEKS.
Two Congregations Can't Afford Bath
room for Parsonage.

Pennburg. Pa.-By a decisive vote
the congregations of the Sumneytown
Lutheran charge have decided that
cleanliness and godliness are not cor
related to such an extent that a bath
room should be provided for the par
sonage.
The pastor, Rev. Charles l.. Dapp is
spending the summer in Germany
and some of the members proposed to
equip the parsonage in Sumneytown
with a bathroom prior to his return.
Special meetings were held by the
two congregations at Sumneytown
and Keeler's church, which comprise
the charge, and determined opposition
to the bathroom project developed
among the older members. They and
their pastors had managed to get
along for generations without bath.
rooms, they argued, and they saw no
reason for introducing such new.
tangled notions.
Three creeks in the neighborhood.
it was intimated, afforded abundant
opportunity for bathing.
When the vote was taken the result
in the Sumneytown congregation was
"a in favor of the improvement and
"A against, while the majority against
the bathroom in Keeler's congregation
was almost as large.
