which has a Methodist as superin-
tendent and has drawn from all OF
the cooperating denominations to
secure its teachers.
The work is just beginning. Peo-
pie are beginning to realize that
Edgewood Is an ideal community in
which to live. In tho course of a
few years we confidently hope to
have a Community Church of sew
cral hundred members, true and
loyal to our Master, and dominated
by His ideal OF Christian service.
The first thing the new minister
did was to make q survey which gave
him introduction into all the homes.
He found that very few Of the people
attended church with any regularity.
so he endeavored to get them inter-
ested locally.
The next task was to arouse COM
munity spirit. The Red Cross work
during the war had brought the
ladies together to some extent. 30 the
number OF those living near the
church were induced to attend and
to contribute SO that within four
months one-half OF the minister's
time was taken and paid for within
the community. A community sing
was organized and continued for
more than a year. Community meet
Iings were held in the church, which
was made the meeting place for all
community activity. Nearly all OF the
ladies In the community Joined the
Ladies' Auxiliary society, which was
Ireorganized, and their work has been
invaluable in getting others inter-
ested and in raising money for i'm
|. provements. After one year, the
country life department of the Pres
lbyterian church, U. 8. A., under the
direction Of Rev. Warren II. Wilson.

demonstration parish" with a resi-
dent minister giving his entire time
, to the work, and they complied April
IL, 1919.
More Interest Aroused
BY that time considerable interest
had been aroused, and the way was
made open for people from other de-
nominations to unite with the Com
tmunity church on the basis of '.asso-
ciate membership" becoming full
members in every way except, that
| they do not become Presbyterians.
Quite number have responded and
the membership has increased to $50.
(, harmony in their worship of God and
| their service for the community.
The activities of tho church have
been varied. The Ladies' Auxiliary
has promoted ice cream suppers,
chicken dinners, May polo festivals.
Halloween parties. etc. Some OF these
affairs are for tho purpose of raising
money and some are not. They serve
to bring the people toEether. to get
them acquainted and to inject the
community spirit. Social and recrea-
ltional work among the children and
young people has been stressed.
Christian Endeavor socials are held
monthly. Hikes, swimming parties.
camping parties, ctc.. have been held
from time to time. Baseball, basket
ball and volleyball teams have been
organized.
