"MOst of Church Debts Repre-
sent FriIls," Says Preacher.
Plea To Make Architecture Less
"SIangy and Vulgar"
PREACH REFORMS At HOME
Pastor, Moral and Spiritual
Force in Own Community.
Literary Ability Less Important
Than Strength as Uplifter.

Kansas City, Mo, Oct. 26.-The
building of church structures to fol-
low subdued and appropriate lines of
architecture in keeping with the dig
nifty of its spiritual purpose was advo-
Gated by the Rev. John E. Pounds OF
Hiram, O., in an address, THE Cali
of the Temple" before the delegates
attending the national convention OF
the Christian church at today's ses-
sion.
The speaker told of the work of
the board of church extension, which,
he declared, has an income OF more
than 100000 annually, ~and the ag-
gregate loans made for the work total
$3,700,000. The success of the board
has been exceptional, he asserted.
Cites Sky Pilot Story.
Making as his point the influence
of church buildings in a community
Rev. Mr. Pounds told a Ralph Con-
nor story of new town in the north
west, which seemed utterly lawless
and Goddess, which upon rumor that
an itinerant preacher m ght come to
it soon, built a church. Altho no ser
vice was held in the building for three
years, the Rev Pounds said, the pres
ence of the church structure exerted
distinct moral influence upon the
community.
THE church extension" the speak
er asserted, lis helping to take the
tawdryness and vain display out of
church architecture. If the building
of the church be an act of worship,
the architecture will naturally become
less slangy and vulgar. Most of the
church debts represent frills and vain
show
Reforms at He ne Come First.
Home mission work as a cultural
and Strengthening work for ministers
of the gospel was advocated by Frank
G. Tyrrell of Pasadena, Cal, in an adj
dress, Polishing the Key" given to-
day before the national convention of
the Christian church in this city
Mr.. Tyrrell declared that mission
aries could not be expected to work
with complete success in foreign fields
when the peoples they were attempt
ing to convert could point with scorn
to many evils and vices which should
home missionaries in this country.
Describes Ideal Minister.
He drew a picture of the ideal min
lister as a moral and spiritual force in
his community rather than a polished
man of literary ability Indifferent to
the evils which existed about him
In advocating home missions work,
TYrreH gave five points of strength
to be gained from the service by min
| listers engaging it. They were: The
elimination of provincialism; an i'm
mense apologize value showing that
the gospel is still the power of God
tiness and ecclesiastical selfishness,
and an increased benevolence; the
restoration of a waning and sometimes
wanting note of authority; an enlist
ment in the program for the redemp-
ton of the world.

HOME GUARDS PARTY
Successful Company Fund Benefit at
Auditorium Last Night.

The Topeka Home Guards Hal
loween party at the city auditorium
Thursday evening was a decided sue
cess despite the unfavorable weather.
The attendance was not as large as
it would have been had the weather
been better, but the upwards of two
hundred persons who were there ap-
peared to thoroly enjoy themselves.
No party given this year has had
better music than that furnished laSS
evening by Saunders orchestra, and
the singing of the Modocs and Tom
Powell was most pleasing.
AS there was a very large advance
sale of tickets and the expenses of the
party were small. the organization
now has a substantial sum for its
company fund. Considerable money
was also made from the sale of re-
freshments during the party. Most
of these were donated, and the guard
extends it's most sincere thanks to the

STANDS BY RUSSIA
Great Britain Never Will Make Peace
at Expense of Slav Republic.

London, Oct. 26.-Britain will never
make a separate peace with the cen
trail empires at the expense of Russia
or Rumania, Lord Robert Creil IN
der-secretary for foreign affairs, told
the house of commons today. He Wig
orously denied the government was
seeking such an arrangement and de-
clared that Great Britain would stand
by Russia to the last and assist her
in every way to consolidate her new
won freedom.
England will not desert Rumania,"
Lord Robert added.
Lord Robert CreiIs declaration was
made probably with two objects in
view-to dispel the possible efforts of
the sinister propaganda conducted by
Teuton agents seeking to, ALLEVIATE
Russia and Rumania and induce them
to sign a separate peace, and to dis
arm the Russian bolsheviki (pacifists)
who have been spreading the idea that
Great Britain was planning to betray
Russia into the hands of Germany.
