BY FRED L. BOALT
When DR.. w. A. Moore, of the
First Christian church, left the
quiet of the pastors study and
the peace and sOlemnity of his
church q few weeks ago, to .ad-
venture along strange, rough
paths, he encountered some big,
unlovely facts of life, which
shocked his ecclesiastical soul.
The thing that surprised and
hurt him most was that SO many
workingmen whom he met had q
deep-rOoted hostility for the
church. And the deeper he prob
ed into the WHY of this hostility
the more surprised and perplexed
he became.
He, whose habit it has been to
advise, found himself on the de-
fensive with these men. He had
to defend the church.
And so in time he acquired the
viewpoint of the man in the
street. 1t was then he approach
ed The Times with the>idea out
of which was evolved the Whats

gress and quiz which is to be held
