Pastor Asks Gift,
Will Repair Organ
Stained Glass Windows at Second Congregational
Church Also Need Attention, Says Rev. DR.. Walker

Princeton University and not one
penny to her church!
Someone has said that there are
people who live a Christian life but
write a pagan will. That Is to say
they fail to remember that money
has a certain Immortality and can
be used, should be used, to further
the interests Of the kingdom Of God.
I have no great interest myself In
filling church with memorials II
they were to be memorials only. I
would not be very happy increasing
the endowments Of the church, If
the result of so doing was merely
to ease the financial burden on my
self and others who are pledged to
support the church according to our
several abilities. No, I think gifts
and endowrhents are to serve vital
needs, to strengthen Christian work,
to increase and deepen the work in
human lives, to open new channels
of access to human hearts.
II our organ needs some few re-
pairs, as I understand 1t does, !
wish that some one might make a
special gift for the purpose Of re-
pairing that organ. If our stained
glass windows show the effect of
wind and weather on the iron bars
that form the frame and make UP
the designs, I have hopes that some
good friends might concern them
selves to meet that special need. Our
communion services are so faithfully
attended In these days that we could
use two more silver plates for the
bread and a few more trays for the
wine. Perhaps someone sometime
soon will be mindful of that special
need. There Is a Student Loan Fund
that Is duly organized and incorpor-
ated but hes no funds to loan.
shall hope that everyone in the
church who can afford so to do will
remember the church with special
gifts and requests that the work
may go forward with increasing
power and influence should love To
hear of special gifts and requests
given in the name Of this church
to struggling churches and mission
airy enterprises far beyond the
bounds of our local parish. should
like to think that the spirit and
fellowship and generosity of this
church was being made manifest in
very special way out on the wind
swept prairies, down In the deep
south, away across the sea In vii
lagos of Mother India.
There 1t lies on the communion
table, the Book Of Remembrance Of
the Second Congregational Church
In Waterbury. There 1t lies as a
symbol, a record, a challenge, and
an appeal. I pray you be mindful Of
that Book. May 1t be your hope as
1t Is mine to write into that book
a record Of some of my hopes and
dreams for this church, something
of my love and loyalty, something
of my gratitude and Thanksgiving
for what 1t has meant to me and
mine. May this Book Of Remem-
brance be inscribed like the book
OF remembrance Of which the
phophet spake! May the names
written there be those Of men and
women who have feared the Lord
and thought upon His namel
