The program was sponsored by the Committee for the Support of Churches, and the speaker was presented by George E. Con-el iur. President Marshall DeForrest conducted the meeting-. In opening his remarks yesterday -Mr. Turner pointed out that we all agree generally that the community needs the churches: that, the churches do essential things in the community and therefore are helpful to the community.

The churches and the ministers are called on to do many things. The churches are asked to jet back of any worthwhile community activity; the ministers respond where there is distress or sadness in the home. We all believe in sending our children to Sunday School and church. Mr. Turner said, but in many ca.scs the parents 1o not attend themselves to set an example for the children The churches must be maintained if the community expects to be classed in the aggressive type.

Religion and the churches are basic in everyday one cannot get along without. The church is not something added to the community, but it is a part of the community and if a community is to prosper 't must have' good churches, the influence of which is widely felt. Man is not at his be.st until he has lived with the higher ideals of life, Mr. Turner said. Man has a function to perform even as the parts of a watch must perform in order to record accurately the time of day.

Man is capable of living to the fullest degree; he has the capacity if he takes advantage of the opportunity offered. Guests at yesterday's meeting 1 were James J. Stuck of New York City; Robert Akera of Hollidays- btirg; John Oregor of Burlington, N. Clyde Jones of Pittsburgh; Richard O'Neill of Toledo, Ohio; and Li Homer Walton of Newark, Ohio.
