whole community was practically be-
hind the board now, since the purpose
CT the closing had been explained. He
declared that influenza is not cpl

He stated that there had merely been
an increase in the number of new

MINISTER'S VOTE TO
BACK HEALTH BOARD
Continued From Page One.)

George F. Brown supported this sug-
gestion that the church is a business
institution and should be considered
as such.
Rev. Mr.. Fisher stated that, mas
much as there was no limit set for
the period of closing, and as there was
possibility of the condition remain
ny for some time, unless the churches
were allowed to hold services regular
j. they would become much more Sc
riously disorganized and embarrassed.
DIR. Bond, answering Rev. Mr. Fisher,
said
I'm afraid we will have influenza all
winter, and / don't believe it will be
advisable to open the schools for a
ong time"
DR.. Carl w. Minor, of the First Bap-
list church, declared he endorsed
without qualification the closing of the
chools, and declared that if the board
srculd see fit to decline the request
of the association for an extra service
each Sunday that he would still be
1oyal and support the board. Rev. S.
f. Jenkins related his experience as an
irfuenza victim, and declared it a
erious menace.
The question of requesting that mid
week prayer meetings be permitted
was taken up and it was the unanim-
ols opinion that no attempt should be
nade to hold these meetings at this

citation for coming before them and for
