WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1923 CHURCH SECURES NEW PARSONAGE Congregationalists Purchase $36,000 Residence for the Minister's Family MANY SUBSCRIPTIONS First Step in Great Enlarge- ment Program Friends of the Winnetka Congrega- tional church will be interested in the action of a meeting of the church body on Monday evening of this week, whicli approved unanimously the recom- mendation of the Church council that a parsonage be purchased. For some years the church has recognized this deficiency in its equipment, made all the more acute by the growing difficulty of renting. But a voluntary committee has been at work, under the leadership of Frank J. Bersbach, and, while only partially as yet has covered the parish, has met with very hearty response to, its suggestion of contributions to a spe- | cial parsonage fund. The money pledged to date, turned over to the trustees of the church, has enabled the trustees to enter into a contract for the Growing house at 739 Lincoln avenue, which Mr. Richards and his family will occupy. Action Approved At the meeting on Monday, many ex- "Exceeding Gladness" Is Richards' Sermon Topic At the Winnetka Richards will preach on the topic, "Ex- ceeding Gladness," the text being Mat- thew 5:12, The following Sunday morning the order of service will be changed, with program, to permit Mr. Richards tak- ing a train to Springfield, Mass. for some committee business preliminary to the opening sessions of the Council of Congregational churches.

The church expressed its deep gratitude to the committee, which has | labored for so long to find a suitable house, and has asked the committee to continue its presentation to individuals of the parish of the opportunity of con- tributing toward the completion of the fund. Cost Is $36,000 The purchase price of the house is $36,000, and while the church has author- ized the trustees to place a mortgage on the property for the amount not cov- ered by subscriptions, it is hoped that through the wide-spread response in con- tributions, the mortgage may be limited in size and quickly eliminated altogether; Already a wide range of contributions are recorded, and the committee has set its goal as to the number of final con- tributors, of either large or small amounts, ar no less than 100 per cent of the parish, The present project, "it is, felt, is a very essential step toward 'an enlarged church plant to include a new church edifice, which must eventually come if No Regrets if you buy ORRELL Wallpaper and have a practical Paper Hanger do the papering.
