Congregationalists began their church in America at Plymouth and through three centuries it has been closely connected with all phases of community, state and national life. In the early days the church was the leading influence in the commun- ity. Only its members could vote in town elections and its own affairs were managed not by the communi- cant members of the church alone but by the Ecclesiastical society, made up of responsible men, and later of women also, in the community. It was independent as were the settle- ments and went its own way as the people wished. As the scattered com- munities began to join together im towns, in states awl "nally in a na- tion, so the churches began to fellow- ship in small groups known as "As- sociations;" later in state conferences and lastly, nearly a hundred years after we had become a nation, the churches of the country formed a National Council. When the national council was formed its field of interests was very narrowly confined. It was feared that some over-head organization might be built up which would inter- fere with the freedom and autonomy of the local church. For these are the prized possessions of each con- gregation and are guarded most zealously. Need For Co-operation But as the years have gone by and churchmen have realized more and more the vast forces against which the church must exert its spirit, and Nokol ig guaranteed to keep your home heated to 70 degrees in weather . 10 degrees below zero CHICAGO NOKOL TCT OMPANY 215 North Michigan Avenue Telephone Central 7832 ge oF oof ole oe ob oboe fe oho fe Be oe oe oe oe of ole ode oe oft ob ole ole ob ooo ob of ok ode ole ob ob ob ob of ole ok of ole oe oe of of fe fe ole fe fe oe oe of of os as tasks to which the churches wished to address themselves were found to be nation-wide as well as local, the need and value of some national or- ganization through which the church- es might work both for fellowship and service, have led to the strength- ening of the council in many ways. The freedom of the local church how- ever has been preserved and in no way has there been any attempt to overlord it by the organization creat- ed by the churches nor by the officers of the council. The council which meets at Spring- field will bring together leaders from all parts of the country. It is ex- pected that at least 2,000 visitors will come to Springfield for the meetings. In addition to the addresses which will be given by leading men and wo- men of several denominations, there will be reports of the various com- missions which have been making a close study of some of the questions before us as a people.

We mean Johnny Pappajohn, the north shore's shortest (in stature only) and most popular confectioner. Johnny has reentered his former "stand" in the Indian Hill station dis- trict and is prepared again to give New Trier students the "best serv- ice "ever," Johnny always maintained an order- ly and sanitary place there, 'tis said, but his successors, did not so well in that regard and so became the vic- tims of what was virtually a boycott. There is universal joy at the return of Johnny, and the high school band is said to be preparing a real recep- tion in which the song of welcome will be: "When home." Mr. Pappajohn is also proprietor of the two refreshment retreats flanking the Village theatre at Wilmette. BUYS ARLINGTON HEIGHTS SITE Louis Norton of Walnut street has purchased a site at Arlington Heights and expects to build a home there within the near future.
