WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE
CHURCHES!
Continued from seventh page)

surers. Ye are not Of the world. How
would some modern congregations
like to hear such sermon as Peter
preached on the day of Pentecost :?
If they had the Holy Spirit that is
the kind they would want to hear. But
so many would rather hear fifteen
or twenty minute essay on friendship
on some kindred subject.
A large number of members of the
churches cannot let loose of the world
but have come into the Church with
the world under one arm and Christ
under the other. That will not work
We must let the world go when we
come into Christ's Church for the gate
is strait and the way is narrow that
leads to life and if we try to get thru
this narrow gate while yet holding on
to the sins of the world we shall find
that the bundle will be too large to
go though and will hold us out from
the joys that the members of Gods
Kingdom share. Bid the world good
bye instead of bidding God goodbye
as SO many are doing to-day. Gambl-
ing games called bridge parties and
goose-wobbles called modern dances
will freeze to death spiritually all who
take part in them: and yet thousands
of church members try to say they
are all right. They know they do
not speak the truth. They ought to
know that if an angel from Heaven
should come to earth and take part
in such things that he would be
mighty fortunate if he ever get back
into the Eternal City. What then can
human beings expect to become if
they take part in these things that
are plainly and Enthusiastically for
hidden by the Word of God?
And yet the question is asked,
"What is wrong with the churches 2"
Enough is wrong when the members
will not come out from the world and
be clean and live holy lives as Gods
Word says do. BE we holy and
yet the average Christian rebels at
this part of the Bible It's the Bible
nevertheless and the command is Just
as important as the one that says,
thou shalt not steal We can't be
holy some one says. Yes we can.
God doesn't tell us to do anything
impossible He doesn't work that
way. 1t is certain we cannot be holy
as long as we hang on to the frivol-
Gus things of this world. Yes, there
is something wrong with the churches
There is nothing wrong with the
Church of Christ, but something is
badly the matter with a lot of us that
make up the membership of that
Church. If we haven't born again, if
we haven't been filled with the Holy
Ghost we had just as we'll have our
names written on board fences as on
the church roll. May God help us
all that our names may be inscribed
on the Lambs Book of Life.
The writer prays that the Holy
Ghost and fire baptism may be so
poured out on lifeless church mem
bership that those who have been
spiritually dead will appear physic-
ally dead because they have been pro-
strated by the power of God. Some
Of US need it 1t fact lot of US dc
It will take that to awaken some
church members.
Prayer: Q Lord, send the powee
again, and baptize everyone, that we
may have cburhes on fire for God to
save precious, dying souls. Amen.

HOUSING SITUATION
BEING MET IN U. S.
Majority of City Folks Pre-.
fer Apartment Buildings.

Washington, d. C.--Homes for 379,.
S4S families In the United States were
provided by the national building pro-
grnm OF 1922 In cities and towns with
population Of $4,000 or more.
A detailed compilation of all build.
Ing in the country by tho Department
OF Labor has Just been completed. 1t
does not include farm dwellings and
those In small communities.
Unless American families are null.
tlplylng faster than census figures in.
dictate, however, the housing situation
In the country Is being met.
Prefer Apartment Buildings.
The department figures show an In.
creasing tendency on the part Of urban
dwellers to concentrate In apartment
houses and two-family dwellings. The
figures cover 272 OF the 2SS cities with
$4,000 or more Of population. They
show that more than half Of the build.
Ing construction, b1.8 per cent, was for
residence purposes, and that resi-.
dence buildings run 84.8 per cent Of
the total cost Of n building construc.
ton program which ran nearly $1,000
100000.
OF the 235,001 residential buildings
projected In 1922, 1858. or 40 per
cent. were one-family dwellings. Orig.
inal estimates Of cost Of these dwell
lngs made a total Of S772 ,359,38S, or
less than third of the total cost OF
new buildings.
The average estimated cost per one
family house was $4,20S. The average
estimated cost in 1921 was $3,987. At.
tentlon is called to the fact that costs
are frequently underestimated.
Permits issued during the year
called for 1858 one-family dwellings,
88327 two.famlly dwellings, 5,011
dwellings with stores combined, 0,810
apartment houses. 1928 apartment
houses or fats with stores combined
and several hundred hotels and lodg.
ing houses.
More Churches Than Theaters.
Among non-residential buildings the
greatest number erected were pri-
vate garages. There were 16l,262 Of
them, or more than third of the new
dwellings, but their cost was only
per cent Of the total cost Of building
operations In the cities. Such gar
nges are now rated In government fig
ures as necessities.
The department report says: I'm
spite Of the fact that the present has
been denounced US a jazz age, 1t will
be noticed that In 1922 In cities having
population Of 250O0 or over there
were built more churches than amuse.
ment buildings, but while there were
more churches than amusement build
ings built, over $100OO,OOO more was
spent for the construction of amuse-
ment buildings than for churches.

River Channel Yields
Up Carven Stone Fish

Oregon City, Ore.-Deep in the
original channel of the Willamette
river here was found recently "stone
fish," which has been added to col.
lection Of relics Of prehistoric life In
the possession of o. A. Hollingsworth.
The shape was uncovered when exca.
walton was being made for an addition
to local paper mill.
The stone, about IS inches long and
inches high, is roughly carved In
the shape Of fish, with mouth, eyes,
gllls and fins. Hollingsworth believes
the stone, which shows signs of being
worn by water, was carried along the
river In floods Of bygone years from
the upper Willamette, possibly from
the region Of the mound builders near
the present site Of Albany, Ore. In
his opinion, some enrly day savage
with an artistic bent saw the stone
by chance and noting its general shape
was that Of a fish, took his rough in
struments and carved in the eyes, gills
and fins.
