Observer Goes to Church; Likes II

To the Editor Of the Everin0 Public Ledger:
Sir-One who calls himself an Ob...
server decided to take in the new
service announced on signs in front OF
St. James Church (Twenty second
and Walnut streets), and by newspaper
notice; for Sunday nights. The - notices
gational Singing-Organ Music-Talks
on Popular Subjects-Question Box
Social Half Hour in Guild House Aft
erward-This Service Is for YOU
Come and Make 1t Yours"
The Observer found about 100 peo-
sons. present at this first Sunday night
service Of this kind. he also learned
that at the regular Prayer Book serv-
ices during the day there had been sew
eraI hundred people altogether, though
the weather was inclement
The simple service, printed on
leatiet. included three or four hymns,
two Psalms, a number Of responsive
Greed and more prayers-all OF which
the people present joined in.
The Observer wondered who these
people were. There seemed to be quite
a sprinkling of church people. Others
doubtless were the merely curious ones
who 90 to any new thing. There was'
doubtless, the half skeptic. wondering
what the preacher would say; the rest
less seeker after the truth. always
learning and never able to settle on
anything: the worlIling who had been
moved to come. if. perchancn, something
might be said that might satisfy. more
than it had tried; quite number OF
young men and young women, in pairs
or singly, possibly from neighborlnS
apartment houses--homeless and hoping
to find something friendly.
After several notices-in regard to
the Question Box, mo Offering and
the coffee and -doughnut party after the
service. the preacher (eyidently. th"
rcctor) announced the subject OF his
first talk" as 1.-THE Ku Klux Klan. y
This was distinctly disappointing to
the Observer, but what the speaker
said he said we'll. and his closing re,
marks as to daily life OF love and
good will left good taste. One must
not Judge by one talk. And the OBJ
server will listen in again.
After the service, the people were
urged to come INTO the parish house ana
get acquainted" About half of them
did so, and found n friendly gathering
dispensing coffee ard doug hnuts. The
Observer overheard a number OF ap-
nrec!ative comments. and some OF the
young men were making themselves ac-
quainted with each other. =.
II seemed to the Observer: GOOD
thing HIMSELF.
