WEEK OF PRAYER ENTHUSES
, RELIGIOUS LIFE
Federated Church Plans Discussed by
"One From Among Them" ... .
' The first week in the year ends
with a religious atmosphere. Several
churches have 'been holding nightly
prayer services, and more attention
than usual has been given to affairs
non-temporal than customary. All
churches are looking forward to a
splendid year's work in religious en
deavor. ' Mid-Winter Camp Meeting
The Salvation Army will hold a
mid-winter camp meeting in the bar

-, Union Church Analyzed
Right now church affairs of a fed
erated sort are of general interest,
and Enterprise where such an insti
tution exists, has been discussing the
matter pro and con with liberality.
After quoting- details of a meeting
wherein, the matter was eone over
with generous criticism and comment,
the Enterprise Chieftain has this to
say in an editorial way of the plan
as applied to a small .town where
there are no Y; M. C. A. facilities: -
On another page is printed a re
port of the annual meeting of the Fed
erated church of Enterprise. The pas-tor-
and other ' speakers , recognized
points of strength and also of.weak
ness in the union. The consensus of
opinion seemed to be that the" feder
ation is a step in the right direction
and 1 offers opportunities for wider
usefulness than the old system' of sep
arate, rival churches, but that it has

not grasped its opportunities fully,
and should proceed to play a larger
part in the community. -
One point-the speakers '.' did' not
mention is that the federation lacks
a dogma, creed form or ritual. Such
nas ueen iri times past the central
rallying point for any sect,' The
members have found comfort in ga
thering together around such a ritual,
dogma, or creed, which at times they
have made of greater importance
than the essentials of morality or
right living. '
' Also, membfevship has remained in
the individual churches forming the
union rather than in the federation.
Ordinarily, a strong, factor in keeping
up' attendance and interest ; in ,a
church is the loyalty of its members,
who feel it their duty to help main
tain the organization. This loyalty
is partly to the old familiar creed or
form of worship, and partly mere de
votion to habit, by which everybody
likes to follow a course of action he1
has been following.
The mere fact of the union means
the elimination of all such rallying
points. There are left the great fun
damentals, the principles of righteous
living on which all men agree. This
may seem commonplace, and .it cer
tainly does rob the union of that
peculiar individuality which has char
acterized many of the great religi
ous movements, which has given fire
to zealots and leaders. 1
- On the other hand the federation
is strong - in 'these points of seeming
weakness.- It is built - on. a broad
foundation where many persons find
common footing. Having no parti
cular creed to which to devote its en
ergies, it has the opportunity to serve
the community along lines in which
many may join. - - ;..
v.This was urged strongly by speak
ers at the annual meeting, t Particu
larly it was suggested that the church
do more in a social way, providing a
place of clean, wholesome entertain-'
ment and amusement. One speaker
referred to the Y. M. C. A.., saying
an association would be one of-the
institutions for the future in Enter
prise.' But the church is now organ
ized along non-sectarian lines, and
could perform' all the functions of a
Y. M. C. A.' 1 without any further or
ganization, maintaining a gymnasi
um, billiard and pool tables arid other
games for the man of the community.
The excellent financial condi
tion of the federation and all its
ibranches showed that the organiza
tion is maintained easily without any
strain on the community and support
ed the argument that the time has
come. for undertaking broader work,
to bring the church into closer touch
with more of the population, tby rend
ering additional service, to the people.
