churches had moved out and followed the
I membership uptown or to the resident
| section, though the downtown was much
more densely crowed than ever. Some
| sections were said to be "too bad for a
church to stay in" That is strange, as
TIE church is sent to bad people to make
them good.
il is estimated that little over one
half of the people of a city can attend
church at the same time on Sunday, with
arv degree of convenience. This is caused
by the siek-they are many on Sunday
tae children that cInnot go, or babes,
acts of mercy, and works of necessity
and many more works which are neither
merciful nor necessary.
As for the churches in Birmingham, 1t
seems we are well supplied, about as
nuch so as any city. IL | count correctly,
taking the Northside center from Ninth
street to Twenty-fourth street, and from
First avenue to Twelfth avenue, North,
there are 16 places of worship for whites,
counting churches and halls used. On the
Southside in the same space there are 10
places of worship, or more than that.
These places would accommodate about
$4,000 people in the two services on the
Sabbath This is about 50 per cent of the
people in this limit. 1t is frequently said,
II everybody should take a notion to SO
to church on the same day, the churches
would not hold half Of the people. From
that they say we have not half enough
churches. But people never take that
notion. no more than they all take no
ton to go to the stores or theatre the
same hour or day. Mr. Moody said: we
have too many churches is one reason
they are so poorly supported" The towns
outside of the center of Birmingham
seem to be well supplied with churches,
and active steps are being taken to keep
M with the growth. l have for over ten
years found Birmingham a church going
people.
What will develop real religious work?
Nothing Will do it, except putting the
gospel into our lives in the church, in
the Sabbath school, in the homes, and
l:,-ira IT in husihexs and social life

MASCULINE TONE

Birmingham is a great city, but Its
churches with a few exceptions are moi
its browning glory. our city churches
seem, in the main to be we'll located
well distributed and we'll attended; but
the majority of them are neither IN
size nor attractiYeness in keeping with
the demands OF so great and so eul-
tured a city IT is a common obserYa-
ton, Everything in Birmingham IS
too small" Our churches are no eX-
ception There seems no solution but
to pull down and build larger ones.
The generation before us builded Well
and we enjoy the fruits of their SELF
DENYING labors; our obligation is TO
provide larger things for the present
and the future. If we are to care
spiritually for the great influx of pop
ulation we must first of all have ade-
quate appointments. 1t is almost an
axiom among churchmen. that when a
congregation grows up To the comfort
able seating capacity of given church
then one of two things happens, either
the church will make the necessary en-
largement for accommodating the new
element that comes or else that new
element will refuse to respond. The
people of today Will not tolerate eth
er discomfort or eroWding in the place

needs. generally speaking, larger and
better churches.
For the development Of real re-
liglous work" our churches need first
of all that the men give themselves
more generally and more seriously to
that work. The masculine tone is need
ed and something more is meant than
that the men give a nod of approval
or a money subscription. Their per-
sonal thought, personal time and per-
sonal work is required. If our men,
our representative men, would give
themselves generously TO this work
they would insure to themselves such
a blessing as they have not dreamed OF
while the work itself would receive
an impulse beyond all calculation. Be
sides this fundamental necessity may
add that If the church is TO do its best
work then each church must have its
church house apart from the building
where 1t worships. A separate build
ing provided with kitchen, parlOrs so
ciety and committee rooms. room for
the boys, room for the girls-a
church house, where the organized
work off that church can be done COM
fortably and efficiently.
