SKYSCRAPERS AID CHURCH FINANCES Income Producing Edifices Seen As Solution Of Ditficult Problem BY ETHEL SANDERS NEW YORK. Sept. 29 -Faced with the problem of financing many church organizations in large American cities have found the soluLion unique and quite modern procedure -the bulldine of skyscraper churches, In New York City at ent, two such churches are operate Ink, four are under construction and plans for several others are being made, Those operatine are the Chela sea Presbyterian Church and the Fifth Christian Helence Church. They are already a success, and are being watched with interest by the clergy and members of other congregationa.

The first church to operate In America on such a plan was the First Methodist Episcopal Church of It owns and holds religious services in the Chicago Temple, an office building, 21 stories high, with a spire which takes ILA total height 568 feet toward heaven and above the street level. it wam built in 1922. This church is the outgrowth of a business and church combination building. erected in 1858. The First M.

E. Church of Chicago was ized in 1431, Its first services were held in a blacksmith's home, A few families made up the congregation. The present church seats 1.800 people, and is filled every Sunday morning for services, The net annual income close to $800,000. This would indicate that the skyscraper church in the answer to the problem of the high cont of religion. Pioneer In New York The first church in New York state of a similar nature was the Stizpah Temple, In Syracuse, built under Baptist auspices, It is believed to be the first church-hotel combination in America.

New York City's pioneer church of this sort in the Chelsea Presbyterian Church, at No. 214 West Thirty- Third Street. It is seventeen stories high. The church occupies the basement for Sunday School rooms, gymnasium, shower bath, kitchen and comfort stations. The first floor has two entrances.

One leads into the chapel of semi-Gothie architecture, and walls done in Spanish coloring. The other entrance takes one into the lobby of the Carteret Hotel, A modern apartment hotel, with furnished and unfurnished sultes. The hotel dining room, smoking lounges and offices occupy this floor. The offices of the pastor, Rev. Thomas H.

Whelpley, and the administrative offices of the hotel are located on the second floor. The rest of the bullding is devoted to living quarters. The Chelsea Presbyterian Church. according to Dr. Whelpley, is NO years old.

There was an enormous debt on the property. "We had two courses open to us. that of ceasing to exist or Joining forces with another said the pastor. "We took up the matter with Dr. Savage, secretary of the church extension of the New York Presbytery, who had organized the Labor Temple on Fourteenth Street.

which is a sort of institutional church organization, and he gested the hotel idea. He had watched the progress of the hotelchurch building in Syracuse, and felt it was our way out. The thing WAS financed and here we Sentimental Opposition The church was begun in June, a The 4926, and building completed was in leased October, 1927. the Carteret the Hotel rental for 84 years. New At present goes York Presbytery to amortize the mortgage held by the Presbytery against the church property.

The church has its rent, heat and maintenance free. Dr. Whelpley says that in the beginning many old members were opposed to the project. Now, he says, there are no dissenters. The congregation is materially increased in size, and few Sundays find the church, which seats 600, with many empty pews.

"Opposition to the plan," he tinued, "is based entirely on sentimentality. The church has become more and more a social agency. Churches must keep pace with the times. Steeples are relics of barbarism. Anyhow what good does a steeple do on the average New York church? It is hidden from view by the surrounding skyscrapers.

The function of the steeple was to draw attention to the church. It was only a symbol. Let the landmark of the church be more human. What is nicer than providing people with A congenial home? It goes a long way toward making them good people. It seems to me that providing a happy and comfortable place to live is as important as providing a place of worship.

Our chapel is the heart around which this great home is built. The hotel is located near the docks. and people leaving for foreign lands or returning from them can urop into their shrine and pause for meditation and prayer. I like the idea. Dr.

That, too, is an advantage. pastor of a church built on a New York sidewalk is bound to enter into contests with swaking tavis, screaming children and other noises that wreck the nerves of the average city The Fifth Christian Science Church bought the block on Madison Avenue from Forty- Third to FortyFourth Streets, arranged with a building company a 99-year lease, which enabled the church to have its own quarters for worship and business administration without cost to the church or its congregation. The remainder of the building is rented for business offices. Under construction in Manhattan now is the Broadway Temple, Dr. Christian F.

Reiner's church at One Hundred and Seventy- Third Street and Broadway. It is perhaps the most pretentious of all the church projects. The present congregation is the outgrowth of the old Chelsea Methodist Church. Dr. Reisner sold to finance this shrine for worship and apartment dwelling and John D.

Rockefeller bought $250,000 worth and commended the project, speaking of it as a "real contribution to the solution of the problem of the city church." The estimated cost of the project is $5,500,000. Apartment Hotels Being Built The Second Presbyterian Church is building an apartment hotel and church at Central Park West and Ninety-Fifth Street. Manhattan Congregational Church is building an apartment hotel and church at Seventy-Sixth and Broadway. Just off Broadway, in Fifty-Seventh Street, the Church of the Stranger is combining a material and religious home for weary humanity, The church occupies four floors and the basement. The skyscraper rears its slim silhouette 16 stories into the air.

It contains 117 apartments, housekeeping type, and three stores which are on the ground floor. The apartment entrance and the church entrance are separate. The Church of the Stranger has a unique place in New York religious history. It was founded shortly after the Civil War by the Rev. Charles Deems for Southerners who felt ill Judy Brown Says Already Europe has a network of air lines.

Induetry Expanding Development In Air Travel We all read here and there in desultory way of the development of the airship and airplane, but very few of the general run of people res alize how far this la going. I read an exhaustive article on the subject the other day and will give a few of the salient pointe which may startle some of you as much as they did me, Did you know that in both Germany and Great Britain preparations are now under way for the establishment of both airship and airplane service the Atlantic, both north and south? And this the result of the flight of an American Col. Lindberch! comfort equal to it.

The increase in the number here this past year over the year before that is 50 per cent.

This year. accordine to reports, the increase will be 100 per cent, The structure of the new dirigibles departs radically from the old. They are all more than 100 feet lone. but will look stubby when flying. The diameters have been extended for strength.

To Cross Atlantic Transatlantic air travel on huge multi- motored planes has come to be regarded as a commercial possibility, and plans are going forward for the early operation of several such servIcem.

These boats are designed to fly in easy stages from the continent to the Azores, thence to Bermuda and on to Florida, comfortable reclining chairs being provided of large enough dimensions to allow A comfortable nap. But for those who can afford them there will be on these planes four cabine capable of ing 16 persons. It in claimed these flying boats can safely light on a sea with 12-foot waves running. claimed science of aeronautics has progressed so far that it can be ascertained in advance within very accurate limits what an air craft will do under given circumstances, what speed It will fly, how high it will elimb, how much it will lift. Few errors of calculation are made.

As goes the cotton market so goes the mule market, is another of those complicated associations with the market. At least that is the opinion Walter Jones, one of Missouri's largest mule buyers. Now, said Jones, the mule market is unsteady because of the outcome of the cotton crop and because the price of cotton is unsteady, Jones explained that the chief peace time market for the contrary animals is in the South, because the the mule rugged enough to withstand heat and punishment concurrent with the harvesting of the cotton crop, and the negroes in the cotton fields prefer the obstinate beast of burden to any other.

This church has always catered to the stranger within our midst, keeping to its original traditions. It 1s entirely undenominational.

In the church are two arrangements for baptism. They are prepared to take care of those who desire immersion or those to whom only sprinkling is necessary for the salvation of their souls. Dr. Spencer, the pastor, says baptism isn't necessary. The architect for the building is Rosari Candella.

Seen As Only Solution Dr. Fosdick, of the Park Avenue Baptist, is planning a skyscraper church, on Riverside Drive opposite Grant's Tomb. It is to be an denominational, institutional church.

It will be called the Riverside Church. The John St. Methodist Church recently announced plans to build a skyscraper on its historic site in John Street. For over a year Dr. John Roach Straton has been trying to arrange a skyscraper church on the ground now occupied by the Calvary Baptist Church at No.

A year ago a plan for a 35-story apartment church fell through due to a financial catastrophe on the part of the firm with which the church had signed a contract to do the job. They are now contemplating a 25 to 35-story buliding and hope to have a definite announcement in the near future. It is the concensus of the ministers interviewed that such projects are the only solution to the financial problem born of shifting populations, real estate conditions and the prohibitive expense of operating a modern church in one of our large cities.

Kennedy, D. W. C. Yarbrough and MAROONS DEFEAT QUACHITA ELEVEN Straight Football Gives Aggies Well Earned Triumph Over Scrappy Team A. M.

COLLEGE, Sept. 29 -Miss A. 'and M. College football earned a 20-6 victory over Ouachita College in the opening game of the season here Saturday. The Maroons used straight football almost entirely to turn back a fast, scrappy team that proved strong in every department of the game.

Starting out with an exchange of punts after a few digs at each others line, Quachita got the ball on A and 15-yard line early in the first quarter and seemed headed for touchdown when the first try at the line netted the visitors six yards, but strong defensive work by the homelings kept them from pushing over first down, Pickens then kicking out of danger. Maroons Drive Three times in the second quarter the Maroons carried the ball down the field to Ouachita's 10-yard line and as many times were turned back. On the first march Stone fumbled after making a nice gain. Then on the next sortie down the field Christopher took a long pass from ens on the goal line but fumbled when tackled Ouachita falling on the ball for a touchback. Two passes and one run had brought the ball from A.

and 82-yard line. The first score came after Ouachita had punted to her own 40-yard line and a few line plays had netted 13 yards when Bridges took the ball, slid off tackle, side stepped his way to the side line and then headed down the field for the counter. Elected To Pass A few minutes after the second half began Pickens kicked to Ouchita's 30-yard line, the Tigers elected to pass, and Vandevere stepped in, snagged the ball and galloped down the field for the second marker. Pappenheimer and Vandevere started another drive soon that put the oval on Ouchita's five-yard line, and Capt. Pickens carried it over.

Smith kicked two extra points. The third failing when an attempt to drive through the line for the extra point was smothered. Fighting desperately in the final perlod, Ouchita took the ball on an A. M. fumble on the 30-yard line, tried a line play and then Kinard sent, over a long pass to Rankin over the goal line.

The kick for extra point was wide. Quachita's fleet backs tore off several runs of 25 yards, and on more than one occasion were stopped by the safety man. Capt. Buchanan, Howard and Jones were the bright lights for Ouachita in carrying the ball, while Nuchols, Strayhorn and Ferguson were busy in the line. the end of the game both coaches sent in numerous substitutes which slowed up the game considerably it taking three hours to finish up the contest.

None of the Maroon starting lineup remained throughout the game. Smith and' McEleveen remaining at their posts until the final period. Very few passes were attempted by the Maroons but practically all attempted were completed, only one Maroon pass was intercepted while several Ouachita heaves were taken in tow by Maroon backs, one reverting to a touchdown. The Maroons showed a lot of power in driving through the line and on the other head smothered attempts of the Tiger backs to rip through for gains. Practically all men given a trial by Coach Hancock showed plenty of power and drive.

Hot weather made the debut of both teams extremely trying. Ouachita proved a strong test for the Maroon eleven and for the first half it was most anybody's game. The lineup and summary: A. M. College, (20)-Christopher, left end; Weir, left tackle; Goeghegan, left guard: McEleveen, center; Dickson, right guard; Smith, right tackle; Ashcroft, right end: Pappenhelmer, quarterback; Pickens, left halfback; Vandevere, right halfback; Stone, fullback.
