e s e THE EVENING ST WASHINGTON, D. C., SATUR].:)AY, DECEMBER 4, 1926. i GARE IN PLANNING CHURCHES URGED Blshop Declares Ugly or In- adequate Buildings Are Sign of Irreverence. SYRACUSE, N. Y., (Special).—An appeal December 4 to Methodist trustees who are contemplating new | church bulldings so that the church | structure should be properly designed was made by the Board of Home Mis- slons and Church Extension at the recent annual meeting here. Bishop F. J. McConnell of Pittsburgh, Pa., introduced a statement which was adopted unanimously by the board. The appeal is as follows: *“We be- lieve the time is at hand for the Methodist Episcopal advanced stand in e whole matter | of church building. We should no longer suffer ugly and inadequate | buildings to be erected. Uglines: slovenliness or unsuitable arrange- ments should be looked upon as evi dence of irreverence and carelessness in sacred things. “A Methodist Episcopal church edi- fice, as a center for our ministry of worship, evangelism, instruction, fel- lowship and service, merits the best | poesibl planning and care. It should concretely represent the faith that gave it expression. As a sanctuary, the very architecture should tend to induce the spirit of reverence and wor- ship. As a school and social building, it 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 sclec- tlon 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 hal actual and successful exp-rience in the bullding of churches. “The Methodist Episcopal Church stands today in a position of great responsibility becauge of its heritage and {ts large building program. It ought to recognize its opportunity to make a valuable contribution toward a distinctive church architecture ex- pressive of a vital Christianity.” FEDERATION OF COLORED CATHOLICS TO CONVENE Assembly Will Open Tomorrow With High Mass at St. Augustine’s Church.

New York. | President Fundamentalist Leaue. 0 Text—Mark, x.2 “How Hardly Shall They That Have Riches Enter | e e Into the Kingdom of God. The mere size of the money pile is not the determin- ing factor as to whether or not a rich man can en- ter the Kingdom of God. The Bible warns explicitly against the ‘de- ceitfulness of riches” — whether large or small. The rich fool who congratulated him- | If because his barns were filled | with plenty, and who said to him- self, in debating as to what he DE. STRATO should do, that he would tear down his barns and build greater, and sa unto his soul, “Soul, take thy eas eat, drink and be merry,” was not o rich man in the modern sense of“th billionalre at all.

F the Master’s interview with the rich voung 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- d | pendence on and devotion to money. 1-| It is written, therefore, that !'the Y | disciples were astonished at his e | words,” but elsus said: “Children, how hard it is for them that trust in riches to enter the Kingdom of God.” (Mark, x.24.) L, | Money is a good servant, but a hard master. Coveteousness is a_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 mon can buy, and thus losing their im- mortal souls. The only real treasures that man can amass are the spiritual values, because they alone can go with ter death. The most pitiful sight on earth is the lifeless body of the Godless billionaire, because he has gone out into eternity a spiritual pauper. Lazarus, even though he was full of sores, a beggar at the gate of the rich’ man, was infinitely better off and less to be pitied than Dive because he had spiritual treasure: through which he could enter into | blessedness in the unseen, etern; world.

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 9. Local ministers’ associations are be- ing specially invited to send delegates | to the meeting to learn what is belng | 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 of Churches has gone to the Northwest. | “The officlal representatives of 28 great communions will decide many matters relating to church co-opera- tion during the next 12 months. More than 22,000,000 adult church members will be represented at the gathering. In his statement Dr. Cadman said: “The national agencles of the denoml- nations during the last decade ssem to have made more rapid progress in co-operation than has been achieved in the local communities of the country. “In "the Federal Council of the Churches 28 great Protestant denomi nations are officlally co-operating in a host of vital matters of national sig- nificance. In the realms of world peace, better race relations, soclal wel- fare, and in national research and education along these and other lines the denominations have found the way of co-operating with each other effec- | tively through the centrnl agency of 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 Ire]lr(‘!(\mlnx the churches of the eity and employing an executive secre to carry on such co-operative activi- ties as they may agree upon. In a fow of the States, like Ohlo, a success- ful State council of churches has been built up, which, among other impor- tant achlevements, is furthering oo- operation county by county thro out the State. In a few counties coun- cils of churches have been ol zed as a result of such leadership. It is hoped that the annual meeting in Minneapolis will result in a great im- petus to local co-operation throughout the country.” JOINT MEETING CALLED BY EPISCOPAL LEADERS Churchmen’s League and Laymen's Association to Gather Monday at Diocesan House.
