Organization.
We are anxious that every man Of
Abilene ana community should know
about and DO interested IN the Broth
erhood movement recently organized
at the Methodist church. The aim Of
this organization is to eject the
mutual Improvement OF its members
|by religious, social, literary. and
physical culture; to promote the
spirit and practice Of Christian broth
erhood; to increase fraternal interest
among men; to develop their activity
in all that relates to social. civic. and
Industrial betterment, and to build up
the church in particular by leading
men into its communion and fellow
ship. Its purpose 10 to support and
supplement and not to overlap or sup
plant the functions or work Of any ex-
listing organization In the local
church; nor will the work Undertaken
It's function is to rather cooperate
conflict with any other church agency.
with all. 1t seeks to provide for every
possible form Of Christian work by
men and for men. 1t Is a mans So
ciety, the work indicated being for
stalwart, strong God fearing men.
Suggested lines of activity for the
brotherhood are Of a religious and
social nature.
The following will give some idea
as to some things we may do: To
try to wipe out the gulf between men
and the church, to make men feel
that the church is broad organiza-
ton with the interest Of the whole
man at heart, to increase attendance
Of men at regular church services; to
study local problems of life and lab
or; to plan to put the church plant
to use every day in the week, by In
stituting some forms of work similar
to the Y. M. G. A.; to urge the study
of "the Book" by aflliating with
Bible class movements, by helping to
build up existing mems classes in
Sunday schools, to strive to develop a
spirit of fellowship among men by
making men and boys visiting in Abb
lene feel at home in our churches.
Seeing that newcomers are made to
feel that Abilene is the very best
town in the world in which to build
a home, to provide entertaining pro-
grams for Chapter meetings, to initi-
ate musical features, glee clubs, or
chestra work, in fact to keep some
thing going on in which men of ABB
lene can with pride ask their friends
to take part. This, and a great deal
more is the work contemplated by the
Brotherhood.
There will be for time Sunday az
ternoon meetings, and at least once a
month a week night meeting, occas-
Iionally banquet will be given and at
times the men will entertain their
wives and sisters, All men are vel
coined whether members of church or
not, and an invitation is extended to
| all men whether they join the Broth
erhood or not to enjoy the meetings.
Tomorrow the special feature will b
male quartete, also Mr.. Stem will
be present and speak to the men.
