(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

could consolidate, pool thi Ir

more attractive than a Joy ride In a

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
