Ray E.

York was about to sever his connection the Baptist church of our city. This, of course, in the final analysis, is a matter to be decided between the church and its pastor, but they are, by no means, the only ones concerned. The churches of our city look for public support, in addition to what their immediate members contribute, and as public institutions they stand rs the community's asset, interpreters of God's will and purpose in the affairs of men. Mr. York came here to minister to a comparatively small communion, but a communion representing one of the great denominations of the country, and which it is desirable for everyboSy concerned, should became strong in Iowa City, because of our university standing and affiliations.

The marks of progress achieved by the Baptist church are Very evident, indicating a true leader, and, it seems to me, in view of what this means to the city, both minister and constituents should carefully weigh the situation before they agree to separate. Mr. York may have been somewhat autocratic in his leading. I don't know, but I rm almost ready, to say, I would not give much for a minister who was not. His powers of thought and speech are known to us, as that very fine al-.

dress he delivered in the Presbyterian church on Thanksgiving day was an eloquent witness. Unfortunately my church has no Sunday evening service, which I much regret, but it enables me to my neighbors and. learn how they prosper. And only -some two. weeks ago, on Sunday evening, heard him, in his regular service, his theme in truly excellent fashion, clear, convincing Umsly, an ideal address for the joung, and exceedingly healthy for older folk.

The time is ripe, in view of the requirements of our city, that we all took an interest in our churches as a whole, as one Kreat movinsr. pulsating factor. Rest for us all by far, when every church communion registers life -ml activity to the limit. Thay differ grsatly in creed and rit- but provided 1he two essen- -'ls the Master laiJ down are liv- "i and striven for, the rest mat- but little. church's great opportunity f'a world is with us, and the chimes are sounding far nlear in the mighty cathedral f- 1 hemispheres.

Men who know little of history and less of the Spirit that the Mighty Col has sent throughout the earth, cannot understand this--all the worse tor them. If the Church was in tho saddle in Washington today in place -of the powers that be, the vision of a pacified and satisfied world would be drawing infinitely neai-pr. Why is Science true in its marvelous ramications, as witnessed for instance, in the way the astronomer reads the heavens, and proves his theories up to the hilt, iven to tho crude an! unsophisticated mind? Why is the Book of Life true, even though its declarations -are by the medium of the earthly vessel, with its natural limitations and im- perf actions? Why is the Church tute, uven though its career has been by no means flawless and perlect? Because in case--science, revelation, church--the Eternal God is underneath and at the back of- each. And we can do without many a scientist so-called. Equally well we can do without many a theologian, so-called.

But we cannot -Jo without the minister of the Church, the man who has the simple clear-cut ideals of the Master, the slogan words, "Light" and "Service." He is in the van of the world's leadership, at the forefront. And, as far as Iowa City is concerned, let every dweller do his and her part at standing squarely at the back of our churches, as a unit, and thus Your Old Stove Taken as First Payment To enable you to rid yourself of that old stove that is now marring your kitchen, we will take it as a first payment and you can take a whole year to pay, the balance.
