Lawrence Church People Want to
Vote on Them at Next Election.
Lawrence, Kan. Feb. 27.-In recent
meetings of the brotherhoods of the
churches and the Ministerial alliance.
the matter Of the pool halls in Law
renee was brought up for discussion
Neither of the organizations knew that
the other was considering the matter
but they both voted to circulate q Pc
tition among the voters of Lawrence
asking that the pool hall question be
put to a vote of the people at the next
general election.
The proposition that they want to
put before the people for considera-
ton is. first: shall the pool halls as
now run, be closed? Second. shall
there be q municipal recreation hall
under proper control put in their
place?
The argument that the organiza-
tions put up against the pool halls is
that they afford a place to spend
money worthlessly and nothing is
gained by the expenditure. 1t affords
a loafing place where the atmosphere
is not the best and the boys learn
things that will do them no good but
will rather give them a bad hold on
life.

Pastors of Church.
The church has had three regular
pastors. The Rev. s. E. Paddock
served from December 1, 1906 to Oc-
tober 1. 1910. During this time the
location and the building were the
works of primary Importance. The
Rev. w. H. Leyburn served from
April 1, 1911, to November 1. 1912.
His work was noted for the setting of
high standard of spirituality in life
and service. The present pastorate,
with Rev. j. s. Umberger, began Feb
ruary I, 1913. So far the special fea-
lures of this pastorate have been the
large ingathering by baptism and re-
latiOnship to a self-suppOrting basis
and a closer organization and eff
cheney in the ministry of the whole
church, and the moral and spiritual
and social betterment of the COM
munity. The church is free from in
debtedness and is we'll equipped for
caring for the need of its field.

Erection OF New Church.
The church worshipped for some
time in the old tabernacle on Green
street, which was removed after a
year, to the present location on Sew
ard avenue and Grattan street. The
cornerstone of the new building was
laid on Easter Sunday, 1908. Governor
IL. w. HOch and President S. E. Price
of the Ottawa university, were the en-
ine..: men who participated in the i'm
pressive services. The dedication serv-
ice was a year later. In this Governor
w. II. Stubs and the Rev. ]. T. Craw-
ford and other prominent men assisted
in the services.
The spirit of co-workship which has
ever beeen characteristic of the men,
bership, and has enabled the church
to succeed in it's undertakings was
ever manifested; much Of the labor
necessary to erect the building was
given freely by the men of the COM
munity-men of all creeds and nc
creed, working at off hours or al
night So the walls were builded and
the house went up.
