improving buildings previously erect
ed. Most of this money has gone for
complete new structures, and in prac-
tically every case the building pro-
gram contemplates the expenditure of
double and in some cases treble the
amount invested in the present struc-
lures. 1t is interesting to observe
that these churches have not in the
first place built an auditorium, but
have instead built parish house or
community house, and are using this
as an assembly-room until an audi
forum can be constructed.
Buildings Social Centers
Less emphasis is not being placed
on the preaching Of the gospel. The
gospel must always be the power of
God unto salvation, but this gospel Is
seen to be vastly larger, richer and
more compreh ensive in it's meaning
and application than many of us had
previously understood it to be. The
church building is becoming increas-
ingly a center of social, recreatIonal
and educational life for the COM
munity. The welfare Of the young peo-
pie is receiving more consideration,
and the church is seeking to make 1t
unnecessary for these young people to
go elsewhere for their legitimate and
wholesome enjoyment. More money
and time is now being devoted to pre-
vention in order that less may be in
the future devoted to cure. Not only
are the new buildings constructed
with these features, but these features
are being added to many churches
built years ago.
The church is placing increasing
emphasis on the social application Of
the gospel; not that 1t is neglecting
the gospel OF personal salvation, for,
after all, the work must be with the
individual, but the individual sustains
relations to other individuals. 1.-THE
first commandment" said Jesus, rs
to love the Lord thy God. but the
second Is to love thy neighbor," and
then by the giving of that wonderful
parable of the Good Samaritan he
showed how there were none who were
not our neighbors. Christianity is
seeking to bring in the kingdom of
God. The church has many allies, but
In all the work the church IS seeking
TO do the burden of responsibility rests
upon the church. We should all
therefore rejoice in the progress the
church is making.
