National Council
Congregational Churches
Springfield, Mass, Oct. 1923

Rev. A T. McWhorter delegate
from Kcnnebec Associaton) and Mr..
Albert Lamb of South Parish Con-
grcgational church, Augusta, will at
tend the national meeting of the
CONGREGATIONAL churches to be held
in Springfield, Mass, on October 10
90
The National Council is made up
of delegates elected by state con-
ferences and local associations of
churches.
When the national council was
formed its field of interests was very
narrowly confined. 1t was feared
that some overhead organization
might he built up which would inter
fcre with the freedom and autonomy
of the local church. For these are
the priced possessions of each con-
greGation and are guarded most
zealously.
But as the years have gone by and
churchmen have realized more and
more the vast forces against which
the church must exert its spirit, and
as tasks to which the churches
wished to address themselves were
found to be NATIONWIDE as we'll as
local the need and value of some
national organization through which
the churches might work both for
fellowship and service. have led to
the strengthening of the council IN
many ways. The freedom of the To-
cal church however has been pre-
served and in no way has there been
any attempt to overload it by the or
ganization created by the churches
nor by the officers of the council.
The council which meets at Spring
fold will bring together leaders from

Congressman White
May Be Candidate
Says Lewiston Sun

Congressman White is being
urged to run for the Republican
nomination for Governor. His
friends say he will be a candidate
Congressman White Yesterday, would
neither deny nor affirm the report
from his friends. He said he was
not prepared to discuss his political
plans at present. 1t is known that
Republican leaders in this section.
look upon Consressman White as be-
ing n particularly strong candidate
democrats in this section of the
state at least. had expected that
Mayor Brann would he their candi-
date for the gubernatorial nominal
ton. until Mr.. Pattangall experienced
n sudden change of mind. and de-
cided to himself run again. 1t has
been suggested that Gov. Bakers
Bar Harbor speech. in which he told
of the weaklings in the Legislature
and of the liquor parties in Augusta
during the last session WAS respon
sible for Mr.. Pattangalrs decision to
permit Mayor Brann to go way back
and sit while he. Patt. led the forces
on to victory or near victory.
"Mayor Brann's friends didn't like
the performance very well, and they
haven't lcsitated to express their
minds. They think ii poiucal ms
take. and point out that it only
opened the way to Congressman
White. who had given MP the idea
of being a candidate until Brann was
out of it.
"Pattangalrs announcement at the
Waterville meeting that he would
run again, was on the face of it,
about the quickest way of removing
Brann from the field. But now some
of Branns friends declare they are
going to run him against Patt in the
Democratic primaries."- re-

Immortality; and of the Transient
and the Permanent in Christianity.
The latter will be his concluding adj
dress on Sunday evening, Octobeg
14th.
DIR. Sullivan will conduct the reg
ular morning services on Oct. and
IA taking as his subjects, Christ and
PLATE" and Insight and Power"
Because of the interest manifest
ed in the forthcoming series Of meet
ings and to correct any misunder-
standing of its purpose, Newton E.
Lincoln, mission secretary of the
Unitarian Laymen's League. ex-
planned that all meetings of the SER
les are open to everyone who desire
to attend them. and no collections
are to be taken on any night, except
the concluding service.
when DR.. Sullivan attracts audi
ences which maintain an average
frequently three times the normal
average Of attendance" Mr.. Lincoln
stated, "it must be evident that our
invitation is unrestricted. In other
cities both clergy and laity of other
communions have been frequent at
tendants at our meetings
"Of course the main purpose is to
to win others to it, When so many
people Of today are unchurched, it is
obvious that in seeking. to increase
the membership and thereby the con-
structive influence of our churches
1t Is manifestly unnecessary to en-
large our own fellowship at the ex-
pense of Others"
I'm this feature of the mission en-
tcrprise we are concerned chiefly
with the so-called non churched
members of the community But. for
better understanding we do most
cordially invite and in other cities
the invitation has been accepted in
similar spirit, all members and ad-
herents of other churches to attend
some or all Of this series Of meet
ings."
I'm the words of DIR. Sullivan, If
you go away a better Catholic, a
better Baptist, or better Methodist
whatever your utilization with Or
ganiZed religion may be, more con-
firmed in that utilization, we rejoice
because that is by no means the least
Of our purposes"
