ture. This is the case
when a congregation builds beyond
its means. 1t may not be an elaborate
house, and yet be an extravagant one,
If it is beyond the ability of those who
are responsible for what 1t costs. A
debt which has to be frequently talk
ed about and solicited for will stand
as a barrier between the outside peo-
pie and the church. 1t will also be
a draw back to the members in the
new and aggressive work which every
church should be ambitious to do.
But, even though a building Is free
from debt, and has been paid for with
comparative ease, it may still be an
evidence of extravaganza, if it is far
beyond the financial and architectural
standard of the community. A forty
thousand-dollar house of worship may
be a modest structure for certain con-
gregations in large cities, but such a
house in a town of but a few thousand
people, where the average dwelling
house is worth from $500 to $4,000,
is unnecessary and out of place, even
if the people can afford it. 1t involves
the mistake of using far more money
than is necessary to provide a COM
Portable and creditable place of wor-
ship, while in other places, especially
on mission fields. weak congregations
are struggling for the want of church
buildings. This condition could be
materially improved if those who have
enough and to spare would spend
less for themselves and more for
others"
