a0 YT T, e BT IS OVERCHURCHED Springlleld Pastor Pleads for I Business Ideals in Religion _The big trouble with the Protes- tant church today is that there are entirely too many churches and that the average church is not onto its Job, but is relegat to outside agencies work which actually be- longs to the church, according. to Rev. James G. Gilkey, D.D, of Springfield. = Dr, Glikey, who 11 pastor of the South Congregational church in Springfield, 1s a speaker of wide prominence and - his ser- mons from station WBZ are well known to radlo fans. the largest gathering of jRotarlans since the summer vacation season hegan, at the noon ~luncheon at he Burritt hotel today. The Springfield minister, who poke In this city = year ago, re- marked that apparently there was some husiness; going on in New iritain, ‘while in Springfleld he said verything is flat, He announced the subject of his \ddress to be “The reorganization it the church along business fines ‘or increased and more efficient vervice to the community.”” He “tated that he would confine his émarks exclusively to a discussion 'f Protestant churches because he ¢as not familiar enough with the ‘atholle churches to include them. Three Things the Matter ““There are three. things the mat- r with the Protestant churches,” sald, “First, there are altogether n many of them.” He told of a cliglous census in Springfleld re. antly which showed that the num- . ¢rs of Catholics and Protestants in he city were relatively the same, ut the Catholics had 14 churches hile the Protestants had 43 hurches and 19 other sects, mak- AR in all 62 organizations. “The hame of overchurching is —even nore apparent in the country dis- ricts,”” he added. *The . average hurch today, judge by Dbusiness tandards is on the job only a mall portion of the time. It is dle from 85 to 95 per cent of the time. A great deal or possibly most of the important work in the eity or community service is being lone by outside agencies instead of he church while the church sits dly by. It's a sad commentary on ur churches that' year by year we ire giving over to other agencies ne work that ought to be done by hie church.” He told a story of a church that presented an investment of $100,- 0 and had 250 members. It con- ined its activitfes to a few hours on Sunday and a few hours during the week, making pussibly a total of 10 r 12 hours a week. Four years ago it went out of business and the [church of which Mr. Gilkey is the head took it over and made a com- munity house out of it. #Now it is serving between 2,000 nd 3,000 people and In the last 12 tonths 151,000 persons visited it. We are getting returns on our capi- | investment,” he said, He told how the work was accom- ished. 1t was found that many ildren in a nearby school which a8 In the poorer section, were not iotting a noon day meal and the re- 11t was some sickness and some dis- iplinary tcolibles in school. He told ihout two negro boys who became nmanageable every afternoon about | o'clock. Investigation showed that oth parents were working and the 10y8, who were brothers were given heir breakfast at 7 o'clock in the norning and put out onto the street ntil 6 o'clock in the evening, with- nuit anything more to eat. The hurch opened a place in its com- aunity house to serve noonday unches to school children and the irat day each of these boys had nine andwiches, three bottles of milk nd three plates of baked beans. But here was no more trouble in school During that year Junches were herved to 7500 children and the only o8t to the church was $400 which as raised in one afternoon by a ‘gorgous brid gaper.'yt'shirsdlhrd ‘a gorgeous bridge party.” The halance of the expense was horne by he children who pay 10 cents each or the lunches. Baths For “Great Unwashed.” The chuirch also took up the ques- ion of children's health and fre¢ aby clinles and then installed show- r baths for the benefit of the “great inwashed.” These baths average bout 50 a week and have included rany children who received their irst introduction to a bath there, iim one evening that “it took 10 min ne of Dr. Glikey's assistants told ites to wash a birthmark off one| oung man's back.” He told a very touching story of here {riendly sympathy and assist- nce is needed, instead of mere re- igious advice. A young couple were arried in Syria and started out for America. On the way the husband acame {1l with a baffling cdse of eart troubie and he was put off the oat at Naples and aagin at aMr-| eilles. He finally reached Ellis| sland, got into the country and set. ted in Springfield. He had a good ob and they went housekeeping in falrly decent flat. But the business lepression of 1919 came along and he lost his job. He had saved some oney but it was soon used up. He orked at anything he could get| hnd finally at shoveling smow wmrh: roved too strenuous for a man with | heart trouble and he collapsed.

The church instituted a pro-natus clinig, the first of its kind' in Spring- field, which today is’ experiencing great success. Then & new idea wan born, There were many strangers in the city and somebody started a “Lonely Club." The first night the club was opened which wi cold, stormy night in winter, 85 pedple walked through a sleet storm to Join and bécome acquainted, The néxt night there were 150 and the third night 300, LA Christmas party was glven and one woman testified that the preceding Christmas she had been so0 lonely she went out and bought five post cards, sending four of them to names she found in the phone book and 6ne to herself, so as to have some of the spirit of Christmas, In donclusion, the'speaker told the Rotarfans, “It is time to approach | common sense and practical busi- ness ideals, If we've got the courage and the sense we can thing and make the church the pow- er and force for good in the com- munity that God intended it to be.” The speaker told a number of fun- ny atories, but after he had’gotten well into his speech it proved to be one of the most interesting and at times ‘one of the most touching the Rotarians have heard for some time, 8o touching were some of the stoles that the.epeaker commented, “If these bring a lump into your throat a5 you hear them, they also bring a lump into my throat as I tell them.” BOY INJURED ON TRAIN, TAKEN 70 HOSPITAL HERE Francis Kanouss, Aged 16, of New Haven Hurt Early This Morning on Railroad Francis Kanouss, 16 years of age, of 36 Shelter street, New Haven, was admitted to the New Britain Gen- erdl hospital this morning shortly after 1 o'clock, sufferjng from lacerations about the head, sus- tain€d on a train of the New, York, New Haven and Hartford railroad.

INTERVENE IN CHINA (Continued from First Page.) a central government that has at best only a shadowy suggestion of power elsewhere in China than in the immediate region of the Chinese capital. The effort of American diplomacy and the overthrow of the Manchu dynasty has always been directed to- ward promoting by every friendly means the growth of an accepted Chinese government that could be held responsible for the security of foreign interests and lives in that country but which would have and exercise actual power of protection throughout the republic. To that end American diplomacy. has con- tinuously sought to strengthen the prestige of the central Chinese gov- ernment by giving diplomatic cor- respondence with that government the same weight and dignity as would be the case where a govern- ment actually had full sovereign powers to enforce its will within its own borders. For this reason it cal the Washington government's policy toward China ‘does not contemplate any form of intervention in China at any time except of the most friendly character.
