BETTER CHURCH BUILDINGS PLANNED
FOR RURAL DISTRICTS BY BAPT|STS

Cling congregations in the erection OF
well-appointed church houses and the
development OF their Sunday Schools.
Why Good Houses Are Needed,
The accompanying illustration shows
q typical oneroom church building and
also an exterior view and floor plans
Of modern, well-appointsd church
building, calculated to take care OF all
the needs OF church organization and
costing no more than the one-room
building.
This proposed building has many
things in its favor as compared with
the one-room structure, aside from Its
attractive appearance. First, II is
more durable, being 80 constructed as
to resist wind and storm. Second, II
is easily heated In the winter, its vesti-
bule cutting out the cold wind from
the entrance, while by reason OF the
building having several departments u
IS needful 10 heat only the department
being used on those occasions when
only small gathering is had. Then
the auditorium in the center is shielded
from the extreme weather by the de-
partments surrounding II. though in
the summer these surrounding depart
ments can be opened up. giving abun.
dant ventilation. Again, the new build.
ing offers admirable quarters for the
several departments and classes OF the
Sunday School. thus making the teach
Ing OF the Bible a much easier task
Then tho rocial life OF the congrega.
ton can be greatly promoted by the
better building in that II affords ample
quarters .or church receptions. ban.i
quets and ether affairs OF this nature.
enabling the church TO give the young
people adequate social activities under!
wholesome environments.
This and many other approved types
OF country churches are being en-,
ployed now in every Southern state,
and a mere efficient church work Is,
being done wherever such building has,
been erected. II is declared. Sufficient!
varieties Of plans have been prepared,
TO serve the needs OF any particular,
community.
