NEW ERA DRIVE
AT MARKET SO.
Pastor Is Optimistic About
Prospects For Going
Over the Top

Market Square Presbyterian
Church is trying in every way TO
adapt itself to the New Era Move
ment of the Presbyterian Church.
THE leaders of the denomination
are doing the thinking and planning,
| want to execute their plans.' is the
way the pastor speaks about it.
"They are wiser than j. They know
best how things can be done, and
should be done. We are trying
honestly to carry out their sugges-
tions." That the efforts are meeting
with the approval of the authorities
of the church is attested by their
enthusiastic congratulations of the
things already done. What a splen-
did day you had on Easter. | con-
gratulate you, rs do the rest of the
force" is the message Of cheer from
New York. The eyes of the leaders
of the New Era Movement are on
Market Square. So, tomorrow the
pastor will try to give the people
the vision which the leaders of the
denomination have. Then the eff
fort will be to adapt some of these
plans in the near future to the local
church. May II is the day set for
the big drive. The congregation
will go over the top.
