A correspondent writes The Ban
ner the following which contains
much food for reflection;
why Is 1t that the public churches,
closed practically and out of use for
six days out of seven in every week
In the year, are not thrown open to
the people for town, village and
school meetings, and even caucuses
The churches are not taxed and con-
tribute nothing save the consolation
of religion one day in seven, while
the people who support government
are obliged to hire public halls for
civic gatherings. | make no doubt
that the people would use the edl
fees with as great care and regard
as church congregations do | am
led to this inquiry by the remarks OF
Bishop Greer in an ordination ser
mon preached Monday in the Cathed-
raj of st. John the Divine at New
York In which he said that he looked
forward to the time when public
meetings of a civic character would
be held in the great minister on
Morningside Heights and In other
New York churches as well In the
same spirit, the Rev. Robert Gold
smith, congregational minister OF
East Lansing, Mich, has induced
his Board OF Trustees to tender their
church building for use as a polling
place at the coming municipal cleo
ton. In commenting editorially up
on this tendency toward broaden
ing Of religious vision a New York
paper says.
These are signs OF a widening
and deepening tendency that is plain
ly to be discerned in all religious
organizations in America. Every
where the ministers and spokesman
OF religious faith are insisting that
the test OF that faith must. in some
measure at least, lie in its power to
bring beauty and justice into human
relations and to set things right up
on the earth. With ever-increasing
clearness of accent the preachers are
reminding the people that the
Church has a social and civic mis-
sion. and that the raw materials OF
the Kingdom OF Heaven are nearer
at hand than has been supposed"
In this connection 1t might be add
ed that under Vermont law when a
