§ & 4' _' ~Entered as second--class matter October 18, 1916, ' the post office at Libertyville, Illinois, under Act of irch 3, 1879. Issued twice weekly. In this day when there are so ma~y Jeremians lamenting the decline in morals and bewailing the decadence of religious life, it is refreshing to secure m bit of evidence indicating that the sorrowing prophets mre not looking> at the situation with burnished' apectacles. The Manufacturers' Record notes that -- in eigint months 360 church buildings have been begun er completed in the south alone. The total outlay for these buildings is more than $23,000,000. None of these churches involves a cost of less than $10,000 and they ¥un well on to a million in two or three instances. Communities which are irreligious, in which the people do no care for the influence exerted by the whurches, do not expend great sums in erecting build-- ings to stand idle. A church is not like an ordinary Anvestment. It returns no cash dividents directly. ~_While the territory covered in the review embraces ¥he south alone, it is not at all probable that it is the only section that is building new and better places of wshbinfihatenhWhennmmyistahnoltfie northern states probably, a similar condition would be found. Fine churches are not only indicative of the religious life of a community; they denote wealth also.
