Ian article In answer 10 the question,
WHO Owns the church," noting the
vast sum OF money invested in church
property he is perturbed because
church taxes are RENTED and other
"iayors'' granted. Certain kinds OF
business, he says, are prohibited from
encroachment upon zones occupied by
churches, and ministers are general
~ carried at half fare on the rail-
roads," Persons not members Of the
church contribute TO the erection and
maintenance OF buildings and "for ad.
yertising purposes churches are treat
ed as public institutions Hence the
author would put the churches with
the RAILROADS and demand general pub
lie control
All of which might be ingenious If
It were based on fact. Bat 1t is not.
For advertising purposes" new towns
do put their church list al the front
because churches are the best evi
dence Of social welfare, profitable in
vestment and commercial future
Infldels have been known 10 support
them under such conditions. But as
whole every church is built and
operated voluntarily and chiefly by
It's own members-while the whole
community gets the benefits! 1t is
the greatest police force in society
Saloons. etc. are kent away from the
church according as a town has sense
(, of decency and propiety.
Because of its uplifting influence
the community in small degrees com
pensatcs the church by remission O.
taxes. but the church is in the world
10 give more than ii gets. In mos
States ministers no longer are carried
by the railroads at half fare; wher
hcye were so carried it was mig
gardly recognition OF a social debt tc
the clerical class which can never bc
repaid in money
But the writer turns logical som
ersault when he cites popular indiffer'
ence and criticism Of churches in sup,
port of his allegation that the church
does not EXPRESS the will OF the peo
pie. Even if that were true the blame
should rest on the people. not on the
churches. In America tile account
ability of the average church is not
the problem, but rather the RESPONSE
bility OF the people who decline 10
heedshe church's appeals for support
and cooperation. The question who
owns the property is beside the mark.
The real owner is God, to whom it is
dedicated.

should not be used in favoritism of
the few; that oppressive monopoly
should be depressed and honest bust
ness fostered.

country disagree with him. But simp,
because 1t did concur in them. there
was more reason why itsshould ex-

greatest gain and the smaller num-
Der Of losses during the month Of

total number of names dropped from

DR.. Graybill makes this report to
convince the public that the recent
action Of the grand lodge, in admit
ting women to membership, is being
generally endorsed. A special session
Of the grand lodge of the A. o. U. w.
was held in Topeka in October to con-
slider the proposition to admit women
to membership. A resolution favor
ing the proposition was adopted by a
large majority vote. It provided that
the resolution would become effective
Nov. 1, and the record increase re-
suited.
Representatives from lodges in the
