Following is the won by Prospect 39 to 19. --------------o - ------- - y.edtiorial: OLD HOME CHURCH DAY FOR NATION HIS SUGGESTION “Would you like once more to attend the old home church?” If you could look back through pages of The Journal for more than six years you would find the question printed in the issue of June 21, 1931. And you would find the ques tion based upon a card urging re turn to the old home church, that was zealously being circulated throughout the United States. The man who made the sugges tion is the Rev. William A. Brown. After the editorial appeared he scattered reprints of it the length and breadth of the country. Then he went to picturesque Buenos Aires, a great city and port of Argentina, in South Amer ica. He was a pastor-missionary there. He has returned, not only to the United States but to Ore gon. He has established what he calls “The Friendly Mission” in the valley of the Illinois river, un der the shadow of the Siskiyou mountains, in Southern Oregon. And he repeats the proposal of the years ago. Return to the old home church. Return to the old- time religion. Return to the old- fashioned home. He would like to have an Old Home Church day set for national observance with the same emphasis and wide ap preciation as Mother's day and Thanksgiving. He thinks there should be special railroad and bus rates, made so low that im pulse will not be obstructed by a financial barrier. He even thinks that in this modern day it would be logical for the airplane com panies to make very low rates, too. There is beauty of sentiment in Mr. Brown's suggestion. A question asked in the editorial of 1931 was, “Do you think the old home church will eyer let you go?” A final sentence was, "What if its walls have fallen be neath the weight of years? That for which it so long and bravely stood still stands, and always will." And, if anything, there is a higher life in the concept of the faith the old home church repre sented. Someone said the other day that Christianity, as now in terpreted, could not be represent ed by a single man. It requires two men, at least, in mutual helpfulness and service. There are new answers to the question. “Am I my brother's keeper?" These answers include the fulfill ment, in other lives, of hope, of happiness and security. They in clude the sharing among many of the services of science and inven tion, of the opportunities of work ; and accomplishment, and of good i faith in human affairs as well as faith in Deity. Get back to the old home church, and find that it points the way onward, and on and on. ------------- o Subscribe for the News patronage and said al the money realized from the days activities would go to the new church under construction in Cave City.
