A program designed to unite the
Sunday school and the regular Sun
day morning church service is the
plan of Rev. M. E. Bartholomew,
pastor of the Church Of the Open
Bible in Portland, and to this end he
announces that in the future the hour
of holding Sunday school will be 10
o'clock in the morning to be followed
by a preaching service at II o'clock.
Mr.. Bartholomew, by this innova-
ton, is reversing the usual order of
church and Sunday school and TAX
ing the first step in two years pro-
gram which will aim toward making
the regular Sunday morning service
one of education as well as of wor-
ship. This is in line with the wide
spread movement at the present time
for the extension Of Bible study and
to keep the churches open seven days
in the week for teaching purposes, a
policy which finds particular favor
with the Presbyterians, the denoml-
nation which Mr.. Bartholomew repre-
sents.
