afternoon from the late residence on

be conducted by the Rev. e. D. Cat

of three weeks. He was formerly
street commissioner of Fairfield and
endeared himself to the people by
reason of his affable willingness to
serve them even at personal incon-
Nenience. Apparently he was at all

him with their troubles. His death is
very greatly regretted by large
number of friends in this city. He
is survived by a widow, a sister, Mrs.

FAIRFIELD METHODIST
CHURCH MAY PROVIDE
FOR SOCIAL SERVICE
Suggestions of DR.. Glasgow
Is Pleasing to Bishop
Murrah
FAIRFIELD BUREAU |
THE AGE-HERALD :
Fairfield Ala Anrfl 10

AS result of a visit to Fairfield
of Bishop Murrah, the Methodist
church may locate an institutional
church center in this city. Bishop
Murrah was very much impressed
with the industrial activities of this
district and he listened with obvious
interest to the suggestion of DR. F.
w. Glasgow that his church should
take the lead in such social service.
He was informed that a suitable lab
aratory and building equipment
would perhaps involve a cost of s75,-
900. DIR. Glasgow suggested that in
dustrial workers were more readily
reached for the proper moral and re-
ligious training through social CEN
ters than perhaps any other way
While not deprecating the influence
of strictly religious training it was
suggested to the bishop that reading
rooms and recreational conveniences
carried great weight with the aver
age man.
Bishop Murrah suggested that the
operation of such plan would re-
quire the service of trained social
workers, and that the operation cost
would be obviously very great To
that DR.. Glasgow agreed, but main
tanned that the Methodist church
would find most wholesome action
Tor such center greatly exceeding
any possible operating cost.
+ BY reason of his long training both
as a clergyman in New York and
as physician with the American Red
Cross and with the Tennessee com
pany, DIR. Glasgow can qualify as an
expert in social service He thinks
that Fairfield, situated as it is in the
heart OF the industrial district, pre-
sents very rare opportunity such
as he suggested to Bishop Murrah 1t
is believed that such an institution
would provide stronger appeal for
religious activity than the services
mat are now arranged, and which
DE-. Glasgow says are lamentably
lacking in vital appeal to the av-
erase workman. Bishop Murrah is
understood to have given DR.. Glas-
gov and others to understand that
ne did not feel unkindly towards their
suggestion, and indicated that there
Wtuld be additional conferences
looking to the launching of some
concrete action.
