6 WINNETKA TALK | White Elephant Sale Regarded as Great Cance to Aid Church A real opportunity is seen for mem- bers of the Winnetka Congregational church to help swell the building fund of that church through the approach- | ing White Elephant sale, according to | the Rev. James Austin Richards, min- | ister of the church, who was inter-| viewed on the matter this week. Mr. Richards said: "In the great ages of church build- ing in Europe, whole communities co- operated in the actual physical labor of creating the house of worship. Some could do much and some could do lit- tle. But because each one had bent his back to the wark and done some ne- | cessary part of it, each one felt that the finished church was his own posses- sion. "In spite of changed conditions, such as the new speed of modern life and the sharp division of labor, the same community co-operation is still possible and no church is nobly built without it. "Many people are eagerly asking how they can help in the building of the new Winnetka Congregational church. The White Elephant sale to be held in Community House May 4 and 5 is one answer to that question. Anyone who helps in the work of the sale and anyone who goes through his possessions to see what things he can contribute to it, is helping in the great work as truly as the merchants and ihe aruisans of Sl Who sui Jone ad} The annual launching and water celebration of boats built by Winnetka boys will be revived this year by Charles : s co- a ms ' : 3 : : Ie : that will make it possbile WE the | A Kinney, director of Adventure Island Boys' camp.
