WILL VOTE SUNDAY
ON CHURCH MERGER
Congregations of Both Local
Friends Churches Dis
cussed Project.

Nothing remains TO be done in the
matter of the proposed consolidation
of the East Main Street and South
Eighth Street Friends churches except
for vote TO be taken at the services
OF the two congregations Sunday
morning. The proposition was thor
oughly discussed and considered from
all angles at the prayer meetings OF
both churches last evening About
seven or eight members OF the East
Main Street church expressed their
opinion on the matter. both favorable
and adverse attitudes being taken.
while about twenty-five or thirty mem
bers of the South Eighth Street con,
gregauon gave voice 10 their senti-
ments and more would have spoken
had ii not been found necessary TO ad-
journ the meeting on account OF the
late hour. 1t was after 10 o'clock
when the meeting of the latter church
was ended.
In general the positions taken by
the adverse and favorable elements s
in both churches are these: In opposi-
tion. that d consolidation of churches
is contrary to present day methods of
expansion and eXtepsion in church
work and that more efficient work for
the spread of the gospel can be effect
ed through two churches than one. In
support OF the project, that a consolid-
alton would greatly decrease the eN-
pense and allow more money to be
given to the various fields of church
work while the same work could be
accomplished as well in the local
field with one church as with two
churches.
No idea as to the result of the vote
to be taken Sunday morning could be
gained through the expressions of op-
inions given last night.
