Thi great east section of Tulsa is growing tremendously. The Lord and Methodism expects us to do our very best to serve this parish with increasing effectiveness. Our constantly increasing program has proven it worth in every way and must be extended to meet newer needs.

This calls for CONSCIENTIOUS and SYSTEMATIC GIVING on the part of EVERY member. At the coat of sacrifice we can well put the church close to the top of our personal and family budgets. We shall have even more in it if we put more treasure into it. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Pledge cards have been mailed to all the members during the past week and'after having made the giving of tithes and offerings a matter of prayer, we trust everyone will sign and bring the card with them to church next Sunday morning.

Gene Martin. RECREATION AT THE CHURCH At the August meeting of the Official Board a special committee was appointed to make a study and take action on supplying a recreational program for the people of the parish for the Fall and Winter months. This is to serve all ages. The committc-e under the leadership of Bro. Charles Liebler had several sessions with the result that shuffle board courts have been repainted on the first floor and new equipment provided.

Pingpnng sets and tables have been procured, dart games and many other suitable for all phases of activity have been installed. Many new games have been purchased and other will be presented from time to time which will interest the different age groups. This equipment will be available for our young people before their meetings on Sunday e.venings and then for use at the fellowship hour following the evening worship. All groups in the Chureh may use it provided that sponsors are present to supervise the play and return the games to the lockers at the close of use. The Junior Hi Youth Fellowship started the purchase of new equipment off with funds received from an ice cream social last month.

During these strenuous days the Church in ils ministry of fellowship is duty bound to servo the recreational needs of the community as never before. SINCE 1936 UNIVERSITY METHODIST CHURCH folks have reverently kneeled at the simple altar in the Great Hall on the third Sunday of September each year in an act of consecration of their pledges for the new fiscal year which begins with the first of October. Next Sunday the 9:30 morning worship service will be no exception. Our people are asked as they trust in the Lord for health for a job and for guidance to bless them as they make tangible gifts of their tithes and offering during the next 12 months. Those who have not already received a pledge card will be handed one with the Hymnal upon entering the Great Hall, We trust that the hour which will culminate in the consecration of these pledges will be preceded by much prayer and pleas for guidance from our Heavenly Father who gives us every good gift.

The Finance Committee does not have the budget for the new year ready for publication as we go to press this Monday morning but it was approved upon the recommendation of the Committee at the Official Board Meeting last Sunday. It calls for a very small increase in our total asking over last year and compared to churches of our size and program of work carried on is a most modest budget for a church of our Over 100 people have heen added to our membership during the Church year all of which' along with the needs for fellowship and recreation which must be offered by the Parish Churches as never before is going to entail an increase in program facilities. We have had a loss due to deaths and removal from Hie city of about 25 of our people. The Board of Stewards is inclined to believe the people of this congregation and our friends will sustain the program of this church during the new fiscal year in the same way that they did during the year that is just closing. Let no one cut their pledge to the Church.

We know that the tax burden of our people is going to be heavy but we also know that there is more employment in the country and more money being made and less places to spend it than there has been in a score of years. No better investment can be made than money set aside for Kingdom enterprise. We are having an increasing number of tithers for University Church. May their number increase for it is this stalwart group that has always sustained the Christian work throughout the world. Packets of duplex envelopes will be made available for our peopl? on the last Sunday of this month.

Do not slight the red pocket of these envelopes for it is the offering for others which sustains the Benevolent Service of our Methodism. As you make your pledges next Sunday to sustain the local program of our Church do not forget to mark down something definite for the World Service of Methodism. University Church was excelled by only two other Methodist Churches in our Conference in the amount of money given to World Service Benevolences last year. We do not know the report for the Conference Year just closing but systematic giving throughout the coming year will help sustain this splendid reputation of our church in being a missionary minded congregation. Pray now, be present next Sunday for the 9:30 worship sendee, be prepared to sign your card and reverently kneel at the simple altar of the Church to consecrate it to the advance of Christ's cause in this Parish and throughout the world.

METHODIST MENS MIXER NEXT TUES. EVE. By action of the Official Board the time of all evening services from now will be advanced 30 minutes. Youth Fellowships gather at 6:30 for devotions. Evening worship and prayer meeting will be at 7:30.

WE WERE VERY HAPPY to receive Into our fellowship on Sunday, September 6th, the following: Mr. and Mrs. Pat Attcberry, 908 South Sandusky; Mr. and Sirs. Henry Happel, Patsy Happel, 2608 East 14th; Mr.

and Mrs. F. W. Bowers, Wanna Bowers, 2819 East Admiral Blvd. Mr.

and Mrs. Atteberry come to our fellowship from the First Methodist Church, Neosho, Missouri; Mr. and Mrs. Happel and daughter from the Wesley Methodist Church, St. Louis, Missouri; and Mr.

and Mrs. Bowers and Wanna from the First Methodist, Eureka, Missouri. We pray most earnestly that their association here will bring a spiritual blessing, as well as a clcsei fellowship with the fine membership of this church. DR. HARRY EMERSON FOSDICE ON CHURCH FINANCES OUR APPEAL is on the three major grounds 1.

There is no escaping the fact that in any relationship finances are a test of sincerity. 2. We must have a democratically supported church. 3. The causes to which we are asked to give in our annual budget are in themselves worth while.

ft can. If you cant make it by then come later. The Committee will be disappointed if there are not at least 75 men out for this first meeting. We will not be surprised if there are 100. There will be plenty of games, a lot of fellowship, few if any speeches and those to the point, and a little snack.

Men old and young if you make this first meeting we know you will make the rest. Load up your car with the men of your neighborhood and be out next Tuesday evening. THE SUNDAY EVENING SERVICE For a score of years American Protestantism has found the evening church service increasingly difficult to maintain. Sanctuaries were well filled in the morning and the space all occupied for Sunday School classes. But when it came to the night service only a few faithful saints came out There are many explanations for this but few satisfying ones when we face a world at war and industry running on a 24 hour basis seven days per week.

Surely these are not the days for the dropping of any services of worship, but the addition of some if demands warrant it Some churches adjacent to war industries are holding a worship service at 2 oclock on Thursday mornings. We spend no small sums in making sanctuaries worshipful and beautiful and then use them very little during the entire week. Surely strong efforts should be made to revamp the schedule of the Sunday evening worship service. A special committee in University Methodist Church has been meeting with the Minister to study this problem and recommend some definite suggestions to our people. They felt that with so many new people moving into the parish that we should endeavor to make the evening service particularly more popular in attendance and serve a fellowship need which cannot be given at the morning service when everyone hurries off to the class sessions.

Our morning service has clicked within the sixty-minute period now for nine years. There is no reason why the evening service should last longer. The Committee recommends that this service be held in the Great Hall from 7:30 to 8:30 and that the people then adjourn to the two lower floors for a period of fellowship and recreation. This will enable us all to get better acquainted with each other. We want at least 100 in attendance next Sunday evening for the initial service.

Give a personal invitation to non-church going folks to come with you next Sunday evening. Folks may leave any time they care to during the fellowship hour. WE EAT IT UP" Your Minister has a friend who operates two smull restaurants in Tulsa. On Lai pr Day evening the Parson and his wife wore indulging in a hamburg steag and the Proprietor friend told the preacher man that the American people since they could not spend the plentiful money which they are receiving nowadays for any of the thing they used to spend such as new cars and tires, radios, electric refrigerators, fine furniture and extensive vacation trips were now purposing to eat up their income in good size chunks. They are eating more and hotter food than ever before.

This Proprietor said that in his two small restaurants during the preceding three days he had sold 75(1 pounds of hamburger alone. They served until all snpnlie were exhausted. The owner reported that the restaurants and hotel keepers all over the country were having the same experience. Uni-' rrsitv Methodist folks have always been good eaters. We 'are healthy congregation, in fact the American people have always been pretty well fed but let us remember that we also have souls to feed and nourish.

Remember that St. Paul counselled the early chureh against gluttony and intemperance and in the third chapter and 19th. verse in his letter to the Phillippians he warned destruction is their fate, whose belly is their god." Good food is essential to life. Let enjoy it, let us share it but sever let us deprive ourselves and other of spiritual enrichment for our Lord said we do not live by bread alone."

The reply was an irritated refusal with the remark that the church was always wanting money. The other man. received the refusal and the criticism meekly and then said quietly: When my lad was a hoy he was very costly. He was always wanting boots and shoes and stockings and clothes. He wns always wearing them out.

fast as boys will wear things out, and the older, and bigger and stronger he grew, the more money had to be spent on him. I was nlways haring to put my hand in my pocket to find money to keep him going; but he died, and now he doesnt cost me shilling. "Yes, said the Bishop, after telling his tale, a live church always wants money. Lutheran Standard. UNIVERSITY METHODIST MENS MIXER TUES.
