 Closely following this declaration of the committees position, Henry F..

ID BREAK GROUND
 FOR CHURCH TODAY
Interesting Services at Site of Walker Memorials New
 Edifice Today

Today marks the start of the construc- tion work on Walker Memorials hand some new s75,OOO church building and $750O parsonage at Arlington place, West End. For the first time in the history of Southern Methodism, a congregation will attempt to have under course of con struction at one and the same time a church and parsonage.
 Ground on the two structures is to be broken this afternoon on the parsonage and church sites with rally by the members and appropriate exercises in eel ebration of the fact that the work of con- struction is getting under way. The pro- o'clock this afternoon.
 We had originally planned to wait until the campaign drive for $5o000 had gotten under way and had been finished to start construction work said A. c. Montgomery, campaign director for the fund, Wednesday night, but due to the fact that preliminary donations were of such volume, all the workers seemed sure that we could raise the required amount, and it was voted to begin this construc ton work immediately in order that both church and parsonage could be finished in the shortest time possible"
 The exercises that will take place on the site of the church and parsonage this afternoon, preparatory to the actual start of the work, follow:
 Opening song; scripture reading by Mrs, A. Eubank; prayer by Rev. w. F. Price; one minute speech by W. F. Stockham; one-minute speech by Rev. Robert Echols; three-minute talk by R. s Munger; breaking of the ground by Rev. A. M Freeman, pastor of the church. Adjournment to parsonage lot; song: prayer by Mrs. c. w. Burney; breaking of ground by Mrs. L. K. Ter rel and scripture reading by Mrs L. S., Evans.
 Members of Walker Memorial are overjoyed over the fact that construc- tion work is to start at once," said John E. Farrell. Tt relieves all doubts they might have about those in charge going through with their promises. and, in my mind, the actual construction work be- fore the eyes of the members will act as an incentive to the campaign for funds which gets going June 2 and which will
 last through June 24. Everybody con- nected with the venture seems to think that Walker Memorial will go over the top in her quest for $50, GOO to be raised through popular subscription"
