Off ice. s were unable to locate them. (By P. P. F.) Are there too many churches in Salem? Do Salem pastors live as human beings? Yes, sir, say the local ministers. Would it be advisable, from an economic standpoint, at least, to banish from this city some of the eccleslatical organizations? And do Salem pastors talk too much, and too loud, and Is their dis course on the wrong subject? Are they given to wading in a sea of irrelevant, adjectival verbosity? Do they fail, on the whole, to under stand human nature? Are they, by attacking card-playing, dancing and smoking, defeating their own ends by keeping from their snnctu arles wont Tom, Dick and Harry? Problem Difficult Salem preachers admit there ere too many churches. They concede that many of the churches' congre gations must necessarily bust them selves, so to speak, to make ends come within shouting distance of each other. But they insist that as a class they are rather human. And they declare that the problems dis- i cussed by Walt Mason Under the heading. "Why Don't I Go to Church'.'" which appears In the current number of Hearst s must be worked on for some time before thfl official Q. B. D. may be placed thereon. In his ironically censoring criti que. Mr. Mason says: "ICvery west ern town of 10.001) has from If to 20 churches. These reparate churches exist because of doctrinal differences which seem Important to theologians, but which look like piffle to Tom, Dick and Harry. These superficial gents have Idea that the 15 or 20 :hnr could consolidate, pool thi Ir sources and then erect one big fine tabernacle, with a humdinger of a preacher, and music that would be more attractive than a Joy ride In a henycar. Why not pay I 0,(.0 a year to n real pulpit orator lnsr.?n.d i of distributing it to 14 ur 20 dis couraged divines who have to wear patched pants in the pupllt? True. Says Dr. ISvatl. "The proposition seems reason able to Tom, Mick and Harry, but the elders of the church sweat blood when such a thing is men tioned. The First Wgetarl.in church united with the Reformed Calvinistic church! Treason! Send for the police and fire department at once!" Rev. J. J. Kvans, pastor of Sa lem's Frist Christian church, said this afternoon : "There's a lot of truth In that. There are too many churches. Oft en the ministers arc sha-nefully poor. There should be some e-ay of getting together. If we could get rid of the intense denominational spirit which pi-evails, we could solve the problem, I had hoped that the Interchurch World movement would do great things along this lln., but tbo movement was defeated by that very thing denominational dissen sion.
