TELLS CHRISTIANS
OF SHORT COM|NGS
Hale Puts Finger on Spots
Where Church Is Not
Measuring Up

Speaking on the general theme OF
1.-THE Sins of Religion" Rev. Albert
S. Hale, pastor of the First Baptist
church, told the congregation IN the
union service at the First Methodist
church Sunday night where and how
the Christian church is failing TO
measure up to its calling and func-
ton.
1t was the third of the series OF
summer Sunday night union services
of four local churches during July
and August The other two were held
in the Methodist Protestant church
and next Sunday evening the service
will be at the First Baptist.
Rev. Mr.. Hale cited the crusades Of
the Dark Ages and the prosecutions
and cruelties of later years as evil
dences of things done in the name OF
the Christian religion, which he said
was not Christianity at all. He init
mated that the modern church is lack
ing IN the human touch, and SAID
Christian church members did not love
each other as they should and did not
make the right sort of effort to reach
the unsaved. He said the teaching of
Christ that the greatest of the faith,
hope and love trio was love, but that
love was apparently the least import
ant the least emphasized of thew irtues
of the Christian church. 1t was his
thought that the church could go fur
Their and better serve it's purpose in
the world if it would think and act
on these things.
A choir of young people drawn from
several of the cooperating churches
furnished music, with Mrs. Carter WI-
lians at the piano, and Mrs. D. D.
Hocutt sang a solo as feature of the
program.
