Kennedy again told of the meeting

Kennedy yesterday said Smell was in

WILL EMMETT CHURCH
ES RESPOND?
Christian Church Proclains Lib
eral Policy Toward Cdh-
munity Church Service.

The outcome of the addresses given
in the Christian church during the
month of June resulted in Summing
up of the evidence" as lawyers would
say, by Rev. J. H. McSparran, pastor,
at last Sunday mornings services, in
which he announced the policy of his
church toward making Of the church
simply place in which to sing, pray
and preach on Sunday and keeping
it practically closed the other days Of
the week This policy is broad, gen
erous and INVITING policy that will
appeal to the non-church goer as well
as to the liberal minded attendant
a policy that advocates not only the
uplifting of the better side of man,
but also provides such amusement and
recreation as will be beneficial to his
physical nature. 1t is field in which
the church may add to its usefulness
to the community-an activity that,
in the opinion of many, should come
ahead of foreign missionary work in
importance. 1t is policy so broad
that it would seem to at least lay
the foundation for get-together of
the churches of this city.
The address follows:
In this over churched community
we have been considering the erection
of new house of worship. We owe
nothing, own the east side Of this
block, the old church and PARSONAGE,
and from wears of saving lave on
Eand few hundred dollars in a build
ing fund. Independently we are able
to erect and pay for building suf-
ficient in which to sing. teach and
pray. Another building for this alone
isnnneeded in Emmett
Representative men and women
from the various vocations in Emmett,
without question on our part in re-
gard to their faith religiously, have
been speaking in the church during the
Sunday nights of this month and tell
ing US what the church ought to do
20 serve the community. When a sur
vey is made and the needs Of a com
munity are discovered, if possible the
church should meet the requirements.
We agree with the idea advanced
by almost every speaker that the
church doors should stand open seven
days in the week for community ser
vice.
In a survey, the newspapers, bank
ers and business men have assured me
the past week that if we churches will /
get together they will back US in the
erection and maintaining If a BULL

ments and needs of this community IN
the way of auditorium anc modern

and whatever is needed in efficient
service for the community.

stances. If we do this no other test

is laid down in the first proposition
