Frank McClure, founder and president of the club, appeared on the editorial page of a recent issue of the Chicago Sunday Tribune under the heading, "A Lesson in Church Co-op- eration." Mr. McClure's article, indicating that Wilmette has blazed the way for similar community institutions now be- ing established in many other towns and cities, reads in part as follows: "The day seems to be past, at least in most suburban communities, when churchgoers feel a responsibility for attending two regular church services on Sunday. Church attendance is largely confined to the morning serv- ice. In both large cities and suburban communities a successful church at- tendance at night is the exception to the rule. This, however, is simply a part of our changing world and is not necessarily a reflection on the religious devotion of the populace. Wilmette Solves Problem "And yet there is a way of solving this Sunday night problem of the churches in a suburban community. Take, for example, Wilmette, a suburb of Chicago, where the Wilmette Sun- day Evening club, now in its thirteenth year, has successfully passed the ex- perimental stage. In a community where once a union Sunday night service brought out an attendance of 50 to 75 now .500 to 1,000 persons gather each Sunday night from Octo- ber to April in the largest audtorium in the village to hear the great preachers, statesmen, scientist, explorers, and other benefactors of the world. Here each Sunday evening are presented the social, economic, philanthropic, musi- cal, and artistic phases of the world's life in the light of their religious sig- nificance. Backed by a laymen's com- mittee of thirty citizens and supported by voluntary subscriptions, this organ- ization has the co-operation of schools, churches, the Parent-Teacher associa- tion and the Woman's club. Opportunity to Co-operate "The evening hour for a union Sun- day service, with speakers of national note, affords an opportunity for churches to co-operate and thus pre- sent a solid front to outsiders laboring under the delusion that denominations are narrow, bigoted, and unable to work together.. In fact, I am convinc- ed that, as a rule, a movement such as this in a suburban community can be successfully run only when backed by a union of churches. "Today in Wilmette and Kenilworth eight churches co-operate in our pro- gram. They represent a wide variety of creeds, including Baptist, Presby- teran, Congregational, Episcopal, Luth- eran, Methodist Episcopal and one (Continued on Page 47) A REAL XMAS GIFT High Class Bostons all ages. - Puppies and Grown Dogs on Hand All dogs guaranteed. v A visit will convince you.
