the general discussion by Rev. George
ID. Tamblyn, pastor Of Olivet church
Rev. e. A Burnes Of the Washington
Park NJ e. church, and Rev. Frank
G. Rideout, Of the Second Baptist
church. The shop and layman's side
OF the argument was sustained by
Harold f.. Arnold of the Bridgeport
brass Co, Simon Magill Of the, Stand
ara Manufacturing Co, and several
extemporaneous speakers from the
audience.
Analysis Of the argument present.
Cd BY the laymen for a broader
church principle OF appeal to the
workingman included general bonn
lbardment Of t4the historical and the
modern church, which included APP
peals for them to be opened more
fully to the people; real sympathy for
the people; retirement Of the pussy
footed policy of ministers; open ave-
nues OF intercourse with the people

"a, ;yirf1e exposition Of present
day conditions in and outside the
church Mr.. Tamblyn said IN part:
ssThe trouble with the church to-
day is that it has been hollering for
1900 years for great many things
It has not got, brotherhood and So
cial Justice,
ssThe prejudice the average laboring
man has is against the historic
church. The modern church is mod
ern only In theory but not In prac-
dce. y {. &.
