Inter-Ckarck World Movement Survey
The country wide survey cfenuuctsd
by the Inter-Church World Movement
reached Sherman county last week. A
county committee under the chairman
ship of Rev. E. E. MeVicker, pastor
of the Presbyterian church at Moro,
cooperated with Jtev. John D. Rice,
state survey supervisor, in gathering
the statistics.
It* is doubtful if the survey was
completed in any county in the coun
try in shorter time than this one.
With the pastors and their church
officials ready with the necessary
data, a tour beginning Monday even-
ning and concluding Wednesday eve
ning saw the work cached to a quick
conclusion. Credit for this record
breaking achievement is due Mr. Me-
Vicker and his brother pastors.
On this tour three addresses were
made by Mr. Rice and Mr. McVicker.
At the first meeting on Monday, even
ing, at the Christian church at Kent,
Dr C. F. Swander, state superintend
ent of the Christian church, was pres
ent and conferred with the pastor and
the church officials. Plans were pre
sented for the cdhstruction of a new
church, to coat between 810,000 and
120,000. ’
A meeting was held at Moro Tues
day morning at the -Presbyterian
church, attended by Christian leaders
of Moro and other places in the coun
ty. In the afternoon a County Sur
vey Council was organised. It w ill
review the iesulta revealed bv the
survey and together with the state
supervisor w ill work out a program
based upon them.
The members of the County Council
are: R. J. Ginn, Rev. E. E. McVick
er, J. E. Coleman, W. L. D illinger,
G B. Bourhill, and M. G. Melzer, of
Moro; Rev. L. E. Tabor, of Grass
Valley; J. H. Wilson and B. M. Sias,
of Kent; Rev. R. F. Jackson and Dr.
J. C. Ghoimley, of Wasco. Other
members w ill be added to the council,
ensuring proper representation for
every church in the county. Mr. Ginn
is chairman and Mr. Me’ser secretary.
The prosperity prevailing in Sher
man county and the progressivenesa of
its citizens were among the facta not
ed in the survey. In all a mass of
data was secured and when it is tna-
lyzed, the needs of the church that it
may be made to function more com
pletely in each community, w ill be
apparent. All of this is included in
the great program being developed by
the Inter-Church World Movement,
which is one of the greatest enter
prises in religious history.
This survey has now gone in before
the State Council, which consists of
the general state secretaries of the
