a Main street frontage of lis feet, and
is 1745s feet deep.
Will Set Church Back.
The new church, which is to be
erected on the property. will be ser
back from the street to a point even
with the residences in the block. But
very few of the trees will have to be
taken out, and a landscape gardener
will be employed to beautify the
grounds in addition to their natural
beauty.
While the plans for the new church
have not yet been completed, it is be-
lieved that the church will eclipse, in
many ways, any church building in the
city. The building will cost about $40.-
900. Work on the building is to begin

CENTRAL CHURCH OF CHRIST.
LOCALIZED Name Adopted Instead Of
Peculiarly Termed Christian.

Legaiized Name Adopted Instead Of
Popularity Termed Christian.
In order that the public in general,
as well as members of the denomina-
ton, may have d correct understanding
of the proper name for the church pop
ularly termed Christian, Rev. G. H.
Morris, pastor of the church, has adj
dressed communication to the Times
Republican. setting forth some of the
history dealing with the change as
concerns the church here.
The Church of Christ is the legally
Incorporated name of the church known
here generally as the Christian church.
and the Christian church is the legal
name OF another separate and distinct
church organization, which maintains
churches at LeGrand, Ferguson3 Glenn
ons and Old Bethel. in this county. The
word Central is added to the local or
ganization to give it a local distinction.
Mr.. Morris communication follows:
Editor Times Republican:
Just now, when our people are about
to erect q modern house of worship in
this city, it seems to me an opportune
time to attempt to correct some things
regarding the members of this church.
and the church itself, in 1.-THE minds Of
the people at large.
1--WE are popularity and almost invar-
iably referred to, in Marshalltown, as
the Christian. church, Many of our
own people use this term. But this
never was its proper name for us, for
two reasons. First-There is another
body of people bearing as their legal
name The Christian church The
church at LeGrand is a member of this
denominations Second-Our legal cor
porate anne, the world over, is The
Chulch of Christ. As individual mem
bers of that church we are christians
and desire to be so known. A favorite
phrase with us is I'VE are not the only
christians, but we are christians only
"The name of the local congrega-
ton here is The Central Church of
Christ In the annual business meet.
ing one year ago on Jan. l, it was so
determined. We use the word Central
to distinguish ourselves from any 9TH
ers in the city that do, or hereafter
may. take the name Church of Christ
in the same way as the local Metho-
dist, Presbyterian and Baptist church.
es use the word First to denote the
local congregation. And so in every
city where more than one church of
the same body are found or may be
established.
81 shall very much appreciate it If
YOU will see that hereafter all an
nouncements of our services, and ref
erences to US, bear the name Central
Church of Christ Our new building
will display this name in some con-
,spicuous place.
.Permit me, before close, to ex-
press my word Of appreciation of your
worthy efforts for the growth and
good of MarshalltoWn. Several times
/ have been on the point of thanking
you for the Times-Republican's edi-
torials. shall delay no longer saying
that many Of these productions, in my
