TlilKlEE ENTERPRISE DENOMIXA.
TIOKS TO HATE ONE PASTOR
Social,
Intellectual and Spiritual
Center In one Edifice.
(Enterprise Record Chieftain.)
Three ot the four - Protestant
churches In (Enterprise consolidated
at a mass meeting of memberavheld
on Sunday at the Baptist church.
The fourth church the Baptist, ask
ed another week to consider the mat
ter, as the meeting at which It was
discussed was not attended by a suf
ficiently large rproportton of the
membership to warrant final action.
The united church ls to be known
In the formal phase as the Federated
Church Bodies of Enterprise. For
all purposes of public worship and
in all social and other undertakings
however, It will be more than a fed
eration. It will be an actual consol
idation. .
One pastor will serve the union
church. He will hold services In the
house of worship best suited for the
purpose. If the Baptists unite with
the others, their church probably
will be used for the Sunday services,
as It ls the newest, largest and most
modern. The pastor will be selected
with the view of utmost efficiency,
and doctrinal differences will not be
considered.
The new plan' does not contem
plate the withdrawal of the members
from the several religious bodie
with which they are now affiliated.
In fact membership of individuals
will be in these several churches
rather than In the federation. New
converts may elect with which o.'
these churches they will affiliate, and
the rites of that body will be observ
ed, as to admission.
Management and control of the
now organization shall be vest?'! In
a board of control consisting of
three members from each of the
constituent churches. There aie
three churches now In the federation
and the board will consist of nine
members if the Baptists do not Join.
If they do, the full board will uvc
twelve members.
The activities of the united church
church, it Is expected, will cover
much wider field than has been pos
sible iwith the senerate congrega
tions. Leaders in the movement, who
nre very enthus'aalc over the suc
cess of the plan thus far, look to see
the big ehufch the center of social
and intellectual life of the city, as
well as the source of religious life.
They plan concerts, entertainments of
all sorts for old and youn. It is not
'-niivoiv ti,at the exneiiment may
i..oinn intn a fiillv eoumned insti
tutional church .
The Sunday Bchools, of course, will
i! so be merged. The plan now Is t
establish a graded school, one grade,
meeting In efcch of the present church
buildings, all under one general sup
erintendent who shall b? assisted by
sub-superintendents.
i The churches which have vj'.ert un
animously to join the federatht. are
thn Presbyterian. Methodist ana
the
Disclnlcs. All lour
! churches, as ls the common exper
ience in small citieB, have found It
hard struegle to keep tneir organiz
ations Intact and to support a pas
tor, without energy or means enough
left to attempt to enter new fields of
uselul eudcuvor. At present one of
the churches has a pastor, Rev. J. B.
Astwood of the Presbyterian body.
Mr. Astwood is one of the heartiest
mpporters of the federation.
The move for church unity had its
start recently when leaders In three
.if the conereKatlons now without
pastors contemplated engaging . new
ministers. The Presbyterians, al
though having a pastor, shared In the
common feeling that no one body was
storng enough to maintain as effici
ent a church as they would like. A
meeting was held last Wednesday
night In the Methodist church to dis
cuss Informally the Idea of union.
CtiOQSING A HOBBYT:'
Make It One That Will fUlieve the
Tension of Business.
Writing ou the udvautage and enjoy
ment tl)t a busy mun will derive from
a bobby. Arnold Bennett says lu the
Metropolitan: '
"In vbooxlng a detraction tbat Is to
sny, In choosing a rival to his business
be should eelevt eumu pursuit whose
nature (infers as much us possible
from the nature of bis business, and
which will bring Into activity another
side of bis character. If bin business
ls monotonous, demanding care and
solicitude mtlicr thun Irregular, ln
teiiHe efforts of the brain, then let bis
distraction be sucb as will make a
powerful call upou his brain. But If
on the other hand the course of his
business runs In crises that string np
tbe bralu to Its tightest strain, then let
bis distraction be a foolish and merry
one. ' '
"Many men fall Into tbe error of as
suming that tbelr hobbles must be a
dignified and serious as their voca
tions, though surely the example of
the greatest philosophers onght to
have taught tbein better! They seem
to Imagine that they should continu
ally be Improving themselves In vltber
body or mind. If they take up a sport
It ls because tbe sitort may Improve
their health. And If tbe hobby Is In
tellectual it must needs be employed
to Improve tbelr brain.
"The fact Is thnt tbelr conception of
self Improvement Is too narrow. In
their restricted sense of the phrase
they possibly don't need Improving,
they possibly are already Improved to
tbe point of being a nuisance to tbelr
fellow creatures; possibly what they
need ls worsening. In tbe broad and
full sense of the phrase self Improve
ment, a course of self worsening might
Improve then,
"1 have known men and everybody
has known tueui wbo would approach
nearer to perfection If they could only
acquire a little carelessness, a little
absentmlndednesa. a little tlloirlcnl-
nes. a llttlo irrntinnni ana wranuie
gaiety, a little unscrnpulonsness In tbe
matter of the time of day. These con
sltiorHtlons should be weighed before
certain bobbies nre dlsmlrded as being
unworthy of a iuttu man's notice.
PICTURESQUE HAVANA.
A Foreign City In Every Sense, With
Its Own Odd Charm.
Americans driving to their hotel
through Hiimua'H narrow, noisy streets
invnrinlilv exclaim Hint It seems to
them "ns If they were nhrond." The
question-to borrow a phrase 'from the
widely tr:iveld but unemotional Mr
BnejleUer-"necd not detain tbem Ions "
They are abroad. Havana ls not mere
ly "like u fcirelKii twu;" It Is a foreign
towu. It bus its own odd look, Its sf
ciul pk-turesqueness, its own tumultu
ous life. It abounds In unknown dishes
end strange fruits, and upou Hie hot
tropic night It poms out half barbaric
music and queer melancholy Bonus
The long traditions of the Smntsn
dominion of the tvo Americas still
cling about Havana's fortresses and
the palaces, churches and monasteries
of her ancient si reels. She was a
proud, rich city, the entrepot of the
west, when our northern mainland was
u wilderness. And now iu tbe Cilhnii
twentieth ceutury she Is a crowded,
thriving, gay metropolis, with her own
pride, iu-r ow n tropic "Irs and graces,
her own wholly mi-American Individu
ality. She may be crowded In the brier
winter seasou with American tourists,
may contain (as Indeed she always has
contaiiKHli a considerable Americas
