Purpose of OrEnnizefs. =,
In a circular letter sent to resi-
dents of the community by William
Knowles Cooper, general chairman OF
the ca campaign committee, the purpose
of the. organizers of the church is ex-
planned.
"CIeveland Park is an unusually
attractive residential community,
says Mr.. Cooper. "It is made up OF
home-loving and loyal people. and is
and religious contacts have not CEN
tered in the community. but have
continued in those sections of the
city from which the population was
largely drawn. The time has arrlV-
ed when local interests must begin to
crystallize, and where can they more
happily and wisely center than in a
community effort to build COM
munity church?
TT was difficult to determine what
sv,o
tionship of the church. 1t was de-
cided that denominational affiliations
were necessary and desirable. and the
organizatio was perfected under the
Congregational form.
Sunday school House First.
"In order to meet the social and
community needs the church Will
build first it's Sunday school house.
two-story building. probably facing
all modern facilities for the conduct
of the Sunday school. In addition
thereto the hall will be available for
community meetings. Facilities Will
be provided for the display OF moving
pictures, There will be. of course,
the usual social features, including a
kitchen and dining room.
The building will be so construct
ed that it may be easily united with
and become a part of the church
building later to be erected, facing
Lowell street. Following the trend
of thought. the church will be more
distinctly house of worship, and will
not be available generally for any
other purpose. The architecture OF
the two buildings will be made to
conform one to the other and will be
typical of the residential neighbor-
hood"
A canvass of the Cleveland Park
section of the city will be made by
tern teams of ten workers each. He
ports of the progress of the campaign
will be made at the church at s:30
o'clock each night from February l
to February Z.
