Presbyterian Church Report

Atlanta, Ga, May 2S.-The United

held here that demands upon its re-
sources during the past year had been
greater than ever before.
Because of the advance in price Of
real estate says the report, "a lot
Tor a church building costs very much
mere than in former years. This is
especially true when our work is be-
gun in our larger cities. The mis-
sionary feels that better buildings than
formerly should be erected 10 meet
the demands of the field and TO be in
harmony with the more prosperous
conditions of the surroundings.
Requests have come for aid from
congregations that have been long es-
tablished. They have found that a
change Of location was necessary be-
cause of new conditions in the COM

on the proceeds of the old property TO
furnish them with a new and more
commodious building in a more prom
Using field TO carry on the work. In
some instances they have gone for
ward with the new building, but have
been disappointed in realizing from
their former property, and the result
was that they became greatly involved
in debt. To save the property from
being sacrificed, the board, at the earn.

organized, yet aid at a critical time
