CARE IN PLANNING
CHURCHES URGED
Bishop Declares Ugly or In
adequate Buildings Are
Sign of Irreverence.

SYRACUSE. n. Y, December 4
(SpeciaD.-An appeal to Methodist
trustees who are contemplating new
church buildings so that the church
structure should be properly designed
was made by the Board of Home Mis-
sions and Church Extension at the
recent annual meeting here. Bishop
r. j. Mcconnell of Pittsburgh, Pa.
introduced a statement which was
adopted unanimously by the board.
The appeal is as follows: I'VE be
lieve the time is at hand for the
Methodist Episcopal Church to take All
advanced stand in the whole matter
of church building. We should no
longer suffer ugly and inadequate
buildings to be erected. UglinesS
slovenliness or unsuitable arrange
ments should be looked upon as evi
dence of irreVerence and careleSsnesS
in sacred things.
"A Methodist Episcopal church edi
fee, as a center for our ministry of
worship, evangelism. instruction. fel
lowship and service. merits the best
possibl planning and care. 1t should
concretely represent the faith that
gave 1t expression. AS sanctuary,
the very architecture should tend to
induce the spirit of reverence and wor
ship. AS a school and social building,
1t should efficiently care for the stand
ard educational program of our
church.
Recognizing that the building of
churches is a highly specialized task
in which many otherwise good archi.
tects are unskilled, we urge the selec-
ton of architects who understand
something of the history of church
architecture. who appreciate the archi-
tectural features making for rever-
ence in worship. who thoroughly un-
derstand the demands of a modern
church program and who have hai
actual and successful experience in
the building of churches.
1.-The Methodist Episcopal Church
stands today in a position of great
responsibility because Of it's heritage
and its large building program. 1t
ought to recognize it's opportunity to
make q valuable contribution toward
a distinctive church architecture eX-
pressive of vital Christianity"

URGES CHURCHES
TO WORK TOGETHER
Cooperation Great Need in
Every Community, Fedora
ton President Says.

Cooperation by the churches in
every community in the country Is
one of the great needs at the present
time" said DR.. S. Parkes Cadman.
president of the Federal Council OF
Churches, in a statement issued in
connection with the annual meeting
of the executive committee OF that
body at Minneapolis December 8 and 8.
Local ministers associations are be-
ing specially invited to send delegates
to the meeting to learn what Is being
done in other communities and to
carry forward new plans in their own
communities. The Western office OF
the Federal Council of Churches IS
working to secure the attendance of
these local workers, specially from the
Middle West and Northwest. This Is
the first time the Federal Council or
Churches has gone TO the Northwest.
The official representatives Of %
great communions will decide many
matters relating to church co-opera-
ton during the next IL months. More
than 22.000.000 adult church members
will be represented at the gathering.
In his statement DR.. Cadman said:
"The national agencies Of the denomi-
nations during the last decade seem
to have made more rapid progress In
cooperation than has been achieved
in the local communities OF the
country.
"In the Federal Council OF the
Churches 2S great Protestant denolni-
nations are officially cooperating in q
host of vital matters Of national sig
nificance. In the realms of world
peace. better race relations, social vel
fare. and in national research and
education along these and other lines
the denominations have found the way
of cooperating with each other enec-
lively through the central agency or
the Federal Council of Churches.
What Is now needed is to develop
not only the spirit of unity but also
the actual practice of regular co-opera-
tion in every community of the coun-
try. In most of the larger cities this
has been brought about through the
organization Of a local council directly
representing the churches Of the city
and employing an executive secretary
to carry on such cooperative activi-
ties as they may agree upon. In a
few of the States, like Ohio, q success.
full State council OF churches has been
built up, which, among other impor-
tant achievements. Is furtherfng CO.
operation county by county through
out the State. In few counties coun-
ellis of churches have been organized
as a result Of such leadership. II iS
hoped that the annual meeting In
Minneapolis will result In a great Inn
petus to local cooperation throughout
the country"

unto his soul, Soul, take thy ease,
eat, drink and be merry" was not Il
rich man in the modern sense of fth-
Millionaire at all. He was simply one
who had attained to substantial
independence Of means, and who
thought, therefore. that he was beyond
reach Of want. And yet Jesus taught
that he was a fool, and said: Thou
fool, this night shall thy soul be re-
quired of thee. Then whose shall those
things be which thou hast provided"
There Is no inherent evil in money
Money Is simply convenient measure
OF value and medium of exchange.
The evil is in trusting money, and
thereby beginning to worship mammon
instead of worshiping God. Following
the Masters interview with the rich
Young ruler who turned away sorrow
fully when Jesus called upon him to
sell all that he had and give to the
poor, the Master made perfectly clear
to his disciples that the young man
had lost his soul because of his de-
pendence on and devotion to money.
1t is written. therefore, that !'the
disciples were astonished at his
words" but eJsus said: Children,
how hard it is for them that trust
in riches to enter the Kingdom of
God" Mark, x24)
Money is good servant, but a hard
master. COVeteousneSS is q canker to
the soul, and the supreme folly Of the
age In which we live is that many are
surrendering to the "deceitfulness of
riches" and are putting their trust
in money and the things that money
can buy, and thus losing their inn
mortal souls. The only real treasures

values, because they alone can go with
one after death. The most pitiful sight
on earth is the lifeless body Of the
Goddess Millionaire, because he has
gone out into eternity a spiritual
pauper.
Lazarus, even though he was full
of sores, beggar at the gate Of
the rich man, was infinitely better
off and less to be pitied than Dives,
because he had spiritual treasures,
through which he could enter into
blessedness in the unseen, eternal
world. But when Drives days
"sumptuous living" were ended upon
the earth, 1t is written that "In hell
he lifted up his eyes, being in tor
ment," and saw Lazarus in Abra-
hams bosom, in happiness and
peace; but a great gulf was fixed
between them. and the depth and
width of that gulf was determined
by the manner of living upon the
earth.
1t may be that an occasional
camel can squeeze through the
needles eye. and an occasional bill
lionaire may SO live that he lnay
reach Heaven, but the odds are too
long and the risk too great for the
average case. and the only way that
a rich man can be safe is speedily
to reduce his mountain of money.
