WHAT THE CHURCH SHOULD DO
Men of City Bible Class Tell What They Thnk-Send Out
Workers-Get Close to People-Readju stment to Meet
Changing Ideas and Conditions-And Preach the Cos
pei are Some of the Suggestions.

nue. Congregational with $500 men,
bers. The last named church had
grown from about 1900 members in
four years. He told of the plan which
this church had adopted of rebuilding
a $4,000 organ and opening the church
on week nights for organ recitals,
lectures and other entertaining and in
struct've attractions as g. consequence
Of which there had been big growth
in membership and in the strength of
the church life.
All Of these churches, he argued,
were examples of q superb material or
ganization which seemed to be a de-
YelopIlg rather than retaTd1ng factor
in the church life.
I. The church works among changing
conditions, said Arthur F. Libby, who
followed Mr.. Field, and it's ailment
has been its reactionary nature. The
remedy Is in rcadjustment. In economic
lines the tendency has been for con-
solidation, but in the church 1t has
been subdivision into too many sects.
In the small community 1t seems as if
there should be a readjustment tow
ards consolidation Of church interests.
The attitude of the church towards
science has been reactionary, and there
should be a readjustment here, for the
church should stop shaking its fist at
science and cooperate with it be-
cause the field is large enough for
both.
III the centuries LnolC nave passed
the church was the social unit of a
community but with the changing
times. especially in the drift into the
big ~centers of population, the churches
there are in a social crisis. The busy
life Of the day, with it's attendant long
hours, make people tend more and
more to recreation on Sunday, the
transient character of residence in the
big cities works against any particular
church attachment. If our schools are
Inadequate, we readjust them; If we
find the police system Inadequate, we
readjust that; but the trouble is that
when people find the church made
quate and turn from 1t, they put moth
ing in it's place. The church is in a
serious crisis, but is meeting 1t on the
incline and not on the decline, he con-
cluded
Senator John H. Barnes gave it as
his opinion that the church was given
one of the highest contracts by God
and his direction to 1t was to obey
orders. God summoned this all up in
Preach the gospel" not this or that
| doctrine or ism, but "the gospel
DR.. Slocum concluded the discussion
with the suggestion that the church
| has a great opportunity in the way OF
| projecting what it really believes out
| into the world. If men carry out the
gospel of Christ in their own lives, they
will make other men feel its power.

Something like the class taught in a
New York church by John D. Rookie
Teller. Jr., where current questions are
discussed, the City Bible class for men
had a symposium at its meeting on
Sunday at noon at the Central Baptist
church, at which the subject to be dis
cussed was the question What Should
the Christian Church Do? Several of
the members had been assigned to
speak upon the subject.
Before the first Of these, George A.
Turner rendered a solo in a pleasing
manner and at the invitation of the
pastor, Rev. DIR. ]. B. Slocum, who is
leader of the class, Col. Charles w.
Gale, who has just returned from a
trip in the west, addressed a few words
of greeting to the class. He told them
Of his pleasure at being back again.
One of the things he mentioned was
that churches in the west beat their
eastern brethren in sociability, which
the eastern churches could well copy
that he had received acknowledgment
from q missionary in Assam to which
the class had sent an American flag.
Capt. E. w. Wilbur of the Salvation
Army was the first speaker upon the
topic of the hour. He quoted the
Biblical text, The harvest truly is
great, but the laborers are few; pray
we therefore the Lord of the harvest
that he will send forth laborers into
the harvest. From this he urged that
the church should send forth more of
its members to work for the unsaved
and that they should have a close and
intimate knowledge of the people
among whom their work was done, en-
deavoring to do good to all men in
every way that is possible, either for
temporal or spiritual helpfulness.
He was followed by George w. Field.
The February Century, he said, con-
tanned an especially notable article by
Edwin Schoonmaker entitled Has the
Church Collapsed? The writer under
takes to face a situation of grave i'm
portance. He takes the definite stand
that there has been a vast cleavage
between the original religion of inner
perception and the modern religion OF
outer authority. He makes the brave
statement that material organization
has nothing in common with the spir-
ltual kingdom. The editor of the Cen
fury in an Introductory note asks the
amazing question: Has the church, in
gaining the whole world, lost its OWL
soul?
Mr.. Field went on to speak of large
churches that he knew of in the Bed
ford section of the city of Brooklyn
the Central Congregational with 2,S0C
members, Central Presbyterian with
2,200, the Marcy avenue Baptist with
2,100 members. and the Tompkins ave-

TELEGRAPHS TO SAY

John McGuinness of Wilma ptic in
Auto Accident on Long Island.

who was injured in an automobile &C
cident near Center Moriches, n. Y,
Thursday, sent the following telegram

The first information which DR.. and
Mrs. McGuinness, formerly of Nor
wich, received about their sons acct
dent was in the newspapers Friday

York and he got in touch with the peo-
pie who picked up the injured men

a slight scalp wound and would be all
right in a few days. Later in the fore
noon the telegram was received John
McGuinness at one time was employed
by City Engineer R. E. Mitchell of Will
limantic. For several years past he
