BUILDING IN ARDMORE

THE ESTEEMED Shawnee Morning News re-
l i marks: "The Ardmoreite is authority for
! the statement that new building in Ardmore
! has almost ceased" We opine that our good
friend of the Shawnee paper has misread The
Ardmoreite. since it is a fact that this news
paper has made no such statement as the one
{ enormously attributed to it. On the other
hand, The Ardmoreite in recent weeks hils
carried several local stories calling attention
to building activities in this city.
If anybody has notion that ''new build
ing in Ardmore has almost ceased" he has but
to take drive around town and be dlsabused
of the notion The signs of building activity
are highly encouraging. A very considerable
number of new dwellings,, chiefly of the up-to-
date bungalow type, gives evidence of this
activity. Some of these have been completed
in recent weeks, others are nearing completion
and still others are but just started.
There are plans afoot for more new dwell
ings and for business buildings. In the bus-
ness district several of the older buildings are
being remodeled and modernized. Ardmore Is
keeping well up with the procession in the
building industry.

OF

man, too that If he wanted to lay
up treasure in heaven he must sell
all his goods and give to the poor.
They read how Christ, after ad.
dressing the young man, turned to
His disciples and said that "it is
easier for camel to go through
the eye of needle than for rich
man to enter into the kingdom Of
heaven" DO the rich people be
lieve that teaching No, indeed they
do not. Does the man who works
his laborers twelve hours a day
days "a week and pays them only
enough for a mere existence while
he amasSes great wealth, believe
that Christ's words apply to him?
No, he does not believe them,
though he may be "a good mem
ber" of the church. According to
recently published statistics, there
are over 200, 900 millionaires in this
country and it is safe to say that
the majority Of them are highly
honored members of some church.
DO those 200 900 millionaires believe
that God will punish them for
keeping their riches while babies
are crying for bread? No, they
do not believe it. The churches
they attend are loud in their de.
nunciation of conventional sins like
drinking and gambling and steal
ing and numbering, but they have
very little to say about economic
xIrbi pl,
ant and uncomfortable questions to
think about, let alone talk about.
The teacher of a large Bible class
in this city tells me that / make
mistake in assuming that churches
should concern themselves with
social and economic questions, that
the one duty Of the church is Ito
preach the Bible in the good, old
fashioned way"
Did Christ hold Himself aloof
from social and economic ques-
tions? Did He restrict His minis
trations to praying and preaching?
No, indeed, He did not. He healed
the blind, the sick and the lame.
He drove the money-changers who
were the profiteers of His day from
the temple, saying they had made
His house a den of thieves"
I'm every place where the
church is established in sufficient
strength, she has agencies for the
relief of every affliction human ef-
fort can reach" says the clergy
man. 1t is true that all churches
have agencies for relief and those
agencies are blessed things. Relief,
however, is not fundamental. What
we need is prevention of the con-
ditions that demand relief. That
is what a good many of us are
thinking about churches. We want
to see them taking their stand for
a new economics. a new social con-
seriousness which will bring about
a better day.

Answers to these questions are
