For it iHustrates an example of home office dic­ tatorship in churches, at the expense of the wishes of a local parish. And it shows a very shortsighted policy, for the ultimate aim of religion is not egotistical sectarian pride, but moral tutelage of all youth. By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. , CASE K-506: Mildred G., age 44, is a devout member of a Hoosier Sunday School class. Recently she brought up the specific case of a small church that had only 39 active mem­ bers. "But it had been operating for 100 years," Mildred began. "And its members were loyal. They had just installed a new furnace and had redecorated the basement with a nice kitchen and dining room. your thread and knotting it for each pair of holes. In this way, should one set break loose, the other side will still hold the button on until the broken side can be repaired. Q. How can I rid a room of the smell of cigarette smoke after guests have gone? A. By setting small bowls of vinegar about the room, the smell will soon be gone. If the vinegar is left out overnight, your furniture will smell fresh in the morning. Q. How can I clean out a vinegar cruet that has acquired a cloudy appearance and a mineral deposit in its bottom? A. Fill the cruet with water to which a little ammonia has been added, let stand for several hours or overnight, then rinse out with clear, hot water. "But the church couldn't afford a clergyman, since it was too small to finance a minister's salary. "And pastors are growing scarcer, so it couldn't find any n e i g h b o r i n g s m a l l congregation with which to divide the time of a clergyman. "So the bishop decreed that this church should be abolished. "But faithful members tried to purchase the building so they could maintain services therein each week, even if they had to rely on laymen to occupy the pulpit. "But the bishop vetoed that idea and sold the church to a wrecking firm on a bid of only $1,500. "Yet its own parishioners wanted to buy it as a focal point for stimulating more religious training of their kiddies in Sunday School. , "Indeed, several of the members had been married or christened in that little country church and their family ties had gone back for 3 or 4 generations. "But the bishop apparently figured that if his denomination couldn't run the church, then nobody else would be given a chance, so it was demolished by the professional wrecker. "Dr. Crane, this seemed like wanton destruction of good property and alienation of many religious families, don't you think? "For they are now so irate at this lack of horse sense, they will not go elsewhere to any other church of that same denomination. "And many of their children may now grow up as modern pagans!" RELIGIOUS DICTATION The courts apparently hold Monday thru Saturday Nov. 6-11 FREE DRAWINGS MISTER'S COIFFURE (Under New Management) 3701 WEST ELM ST. PHONE: 385-7550 MCHENRY that a local church belongs to the denomination of which it is apart, instead of to the local citizens. But Mildred's case is a good example of stupid church dictatorship! The local members and their ancestors furnished all the money to build that church edifice and to install a modern new furnace, kitchen, and dining room. Compared with the hidden holes underground in the Catacombs, where early Christians had to worship in secret, this small country church wobld be a marvelous modern sanctuary. And Mildred is correct, for not only did the central denomination alienate the local membership by riding roughshod over their wishes, but it actually rendered a disservice to the cause of moral education of children in that Sunday School. David Livingstone attended a similar little church where he was often the only child in his Sunday School class. So we must not think the size of a church edifice or the total number of members on the roster, is the true test of a productive parish! The backbone of American morality is still the small country and town churches in the Bible belt. Larger cities are rapidly following the idolatrous trend PAGE 17-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, that caused the destruction of §f " L 1972 Sodom and Gomorrah.
