Prince Georges
Bottle Club
bill Passed.
Measure Will Go
To McKeIdin After
House OK's Change
BY CHARLES L. HOFFMAN
Star STAFF Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 30. - A
House-approved bill aimed at
barring after-hour bottle club
operations in Prince Georges
County passed the Senate last
night, with only minor technical
amendments.
The changes were expected to
be approved by the House today
and to go on to the Governor.
The bill, introduced by the
unanimous Democratic Prince
Georges delegation, would pro-
hibit the sale or consumption of
liquor in public places or private
clubs between 2 am. and 6 am.
daily. Besides providing fines
for operator and waiter, it also
calls for fines of from SIS to $50
for patrons.
The Prince Georges delegation
expects the measure to give
county law enforcement officials
the punch needed to close exist
ing bottle clubs. which invaded
the county after a breakdown in
the District of Columbia.
New Hotel Category

terday also passed another meas
ure to set up a new beer. wine
and liquor license category for

the layleaders of his church knew
better than to start talking of
building plants and architects
drawings until first determining
how much the congregation was
able to spend on new church IA
cilities.
They found out how much
money was available by canvass
ing every member of the church
for pledges. They gave every
family an opportunity for useful
ness but avoided begging down
the canvass with secondary mat
ters, such as building plans, which
so often create dissension in a
congregation even long before the
money has been raised.
The 113 member families in this
congregation pledged more than
$61, 900, which was about $4,000
more than the Rev. Mr.. Holmes
had hoped to raise at best. This
victory served to let many of the
new families in the area know
that Salem Methodist was an ac-
tive church, planning well for the
future - fine family church.
Since the canvass was conducted,
membership has been constantly
increasing.
Here is how the Rev. Mr.. Holm
es sums up results of the every
member canvass conducted in his
church:
"As is so often the case, the
by-products are worth more than
the main product. One cannot
overlook 100000, but what is
worth infinitely more is the in
crease in church attendance, the
new enthusiasm, the new leader
ship which has been uncovered
and made available for other
phases of our work, and the joy
one senses when people have so
honored God with their substance
that the regular collection has
been changed into An Act of
Worship in which worshippers are
actually acknowledging God"

article in this series which will

able for worship; that their chill
dren will be able to attend spac-
ious, well-equipped Sunday school,
just as they were able to do when
they were children.
If they find that this is not the
case-that the nearest church of
their denomination is overcrowded
and in desperate need of increased
facilities-they may lose faith and
gradually drift away from the
church.
Therefore, churches in rapidly
growing communities must do
everything possible to accommo-
date these new families-to keep
these fathers, mothers, brothers,
and sisters in the church. Most
of them try. But too many fail
because Of faulty planning and
poorly conducted building fund
programs.
But they do not need to fail.
There are many heart warming
stories of churches who have fac
ed their building problems with
realism and courage = and are
happier, more productive and
more vigorous congregations be-
cause of this richly rewarding ex-
perience. One of the most inter-
esting of these concerns the Salem
Methodist Church, Evansville, Ind,
of which the Rev. Robert c.
Holmes is pastor. His church is
in the fastest growing section of
Evansville.
Thrust into circumstances like
those outlined above, the Rev. Mr..
Holmes told me recently, church
can easily develop an inferiority
complex. There is a strong tend
ency for the church to underesti-
mate its own strength. This will
in turn lead to shortsighted plan
ming (something to relieve the
present strain) whereas good PLAN
ming, wise calculation of future
growth, and faith in the living
God will warrant the undertaking
of something more adequate and
more apt to draw newcomers from
the growing community.
The Indiana pastor didn't un-
derestimate his potential. He
knew that his congregation would
support a constructive building
program because members realiz-
ed the great need for expansion.
But the Rev. Mr.. Holmes and

Lewis G. Wells Analyses
Some Major Problems
Facing Churches
TELLS OF EARLY DAYS

Editors Note: Here is the first of
two articles analyzing some
of the major problems which
face rural, suburban, and
neighborhood churches today.
The series was written by
Lewis G. Wells, nationally
prominent churchman and
president of the Wells Organ
izations.
BY Lewis G. Wells
President, Wells Organizations
In the early days of America,
new settlers in a community sat
isfied their religious needs, by
banding together, organizing a
church, and building a house of
worship.
If they were to participate in
formal worship services, they had
TO take matters in their own
hands. There were no churches
available. They had no choice but
TO build their own.
Today, because of our constant
ly shifting population, equally
large numbers of settlers are NOV
ing about. AS a result many of
our so-called rural and suburban
churches now find themselves so
surrounded by new residences that
they are unable to accommodate
their increased membership-not
to mention the even greater men,
bership afforded by the constant
stream of new settlers.
At first thought, it would ap-
pear that these people-like their
ancestors-would solve their prob
lem by building their own church
es.
However, this is not the case.
Most of these families have NOV
ed from established communities
IN which the churches were ade-
quately equipped.
They take it as a matter of
course that a church will be avail
