AN OPEN LETTER.

On. next Sunday at II o'clock,
three churches will be closed. The
people are to hear a message from
God through the Rev. John Gass.
This service was arranged, and then
Mr.. Gass was asked to preach the
sermon.
Other messages have come con-
cerning the Red Cross, the Y. M. C.
A. and the Belgian children needs.
But always the message is different
through different personalities. l
am glad that every one will have an
opportunity to hear the Rev. John
Gass treat the subject. 1t will be
an inspiration. was thankful that
the congregation of St. James Church
1ad this opportunity.
Now some people will not under
stand my not closing St. James
church for this service; but / want
them to understand. l want them to
know that / do not undervalue the
message that is to be given. ! want
them to know that | am ready for
anything that will draw all nearer
together. What we can all do as the
One Family of God. should be so done,
we should do more work as Christ
ians, and minimize our distinguish
names.
| cannot close the church on Sun
day because | am under orders. 1t
is my duty to be there or have some
one in my place, unless there is an
an adequate reason. This is not one,
because we could have a union SER
vice for this purpose at some other
hour. Any Sunday night or after
noon would do. Any member of my
congregation who desires to go is
free to do so; any one who has not
heard Mr.. Gass is urged to go. There
are others who will participate in
this, though they think it unwise to
close the churches on Sunday morn
ing, and it is contrary to their judg-
ment
May God draw us all close togeth-
er, and make US realize that where
as our differences are slight, the
things in which we agree are funda-
mental.
Faithfully yours,
RANDOLPH CLAIBORNE.
