THE REFRIGERATED CHURCH

VIE have heard much of Goodness
wv in the church" as bar to at
tendance, but. now comes the
Rev. DIR. Daugherty, formerly of Har-
risburg, attracting congregations to
his Sunbury church by means of cleo
trio fans. The experiment is being
watched by pastors elsewhere who
have been unable to keep their pews
filed in hot weather.
But for all that the idea of a re-
frigerated church is not new. 1t took
the western progressiveness of Orange
Texas, to first utilize the idea in max
ing the church attractive and comfort
able upon a hot Sunday.
A refrigerating plant has been set
up in a small building just back of
the church. Cold brine pipes lead
from it to the basement of the
church, where is installed big ven
tilating fan. The fan draws the air
through a water spray, which removes
all dustl The air is then passed into
the refrigerating pipes, and goes UP
to the registers, which distribute II
throughout the auditorium.
This arrangement lowers the tenn
perature of the church twenty degrees
below that out of doors on a hot sum-
mer day In winter, the same pipes
are used to hold the steam which
heats the building. The economy and
| efficiency OF this plant are due to the
inventive genius of the pastor, who
designed it and superintended its In
stallation. Other churches in town
suspend all or part of their services
during the hottest weather, but the re-
frigerated church keeps open and has
more than its normal attendance; be-
cause it attracts many members OF
other churches not so we'll equipped
for comfort.
The Rev. DR.. Daugherty is on the
right track. but he should not forget
that while electric fans may take peo.
pie into church they will not heer

HAVE REASON TO CELEBRATE

THERE is widespread interest
throughout the city in the COM
ing September celebration. Har-
risburg is awake as never before to
the importance of the civic improve
ment which has attracted the atten-
ton of a nation.
No city has done so admirably in
every direction as the Capital of this
great State during the last fourteen
years. Those who once lived here
and are now residing elsewhere return
to Harrisburg as typical Rip Van
Wrinkles. They can hardly believe that
what they see is not a dream In
stead of an overgrown borough they
find a progressive, wide-awake and
ambitious city.
1t is for this reason that our own
people, now recognizing the value of
what has been done, are ready to stand
shoulder to shoulder in a great civic
celebration which will still further
spread the fair reputation of Harris
burg and expand it's influence for
higher civic ideals.
