SOUTHERN OREGON NEWS REVIEW, TIIURS., III». ,, ,.Mu SOUTHBBN OREGON NEWS REVIEW tltuues of CliiistiunK there is u profound iiiH'iisiness mid conti i turn on being pm tinned from one another in separate groups 1'he.se groups no longer i epresent, in their dividedness, convictions sufficiently central to faith to justify the continuance of separa tion. W e arc not required to pass judgm ent upon the historic dis putes and decisions which led 1« these divisions, hut we are re quirt'd to look Into our own hearts and ask w hether we can allow ourselves to he complacent tow ard their perpetuation. We believe our disunity conceals the nature of the Church. Th. Church In its deepest nature is the New Society In which the alienations of culture and history are overcome. It Is the New Knee which denies races. It is the New Nation which rejects all national ism. But the Church as the Com m unity which transcends these separatism s is not made visible before the eyes of men so long as it Is unable to transcend the divisions betw een one body of t hrlstians and ¡mother. We believe that our disunity hinders the w itness o f t h e Church. Jesus prayed, "That they all may be o n e ..............that the world may believe.” The world today does not. believe, and the church m ust ask In all hum ility Published every Thursday by THE SISKIYOU PUBLISHING COMPANY Ashlaad, Oregon 167 East Main Street Carryl H. Wines and Wendell D. Lawrence, Publishers ______________ WENDELL LAWRENCE, Editor Entered as second class nxail matter in the post office at Ash land, Oregon, February 15, 1935, under the act of Congress of March 3, 1879. ONE .MAN A year and a halt ago, when Bill Healy became secretary of the Chamber of Commerce in Ashland, we wrote an editorial entitled, "Mr. Healy C an’t Do It All.” As events subsequently proved, Mr. Healy couldn’t do it all, though heaven knows, Bill tried hard enough. The same thing is true today. This week another secretary, Victor Richardson, takes over the reins. We have known Vic for a long time and feel that he will do all in his power to aid and assist the growth of Ashland. However Vic can’t do it all. A strong Chamber of Commerce can mean a strong community with progressiveness apparent on every street corner. A good secretary, however, does not necessarily mean the Chamber of Commerce will be a strong live wire organization. • The secretary cannot be the Chamber of Commerce. The secretary, we believe, should represent the community, in inter-community af fairs, should act as a coordinator in intra-community affairs, and thus should w’ork as a cohesive agent in binding the different desires and needs of the community into a solid mass of unified action. T he secretary can but act on the recommendations of the Chamber which he represents. In order to give a secretary the kind of backing essential to his doing a good job the organization behind him must have definite plans and must have them worked out so that the secreetary can have a foundation on which to do his work. If but half the merchants in the community are solidly behind the Chamber of Commerce and the other half are not, the entire structure on which the Chamber is built will collapse. Local citizens in their de sires to have a better community must work for the good of the entire community rather than for personal pet projects. Its up to every business man in Ashland, every public spirited citizen to take an interest in the doings of his local Chamber of Commerce. That interest could show itself by attendance at Chamber of Commerce meetings. Each week the Chamber of Commerce membership meets at a Tuesday luncheon at the Lithia coffee shop. The individual business man can have a strong voice in the affairs of the community and can keep in close touch with the affairs of his Chamber of Commerce by attending each dinner meeting. The Congregationalism of A sh land, along with Congregational- lsts everyw here are voting either for or against a m erger with another denom ination, The E van gelical Reformed. To m ake the ' union effective a tw o-thirds vote of the m em bers of tw o-thirds of the churches, tw o-thirds of the Associations and tw o-thirds of the Conferences must be for the m erger. I feel th at the uniting of these denom inations will not affect the local church. While the name of the denom ination will be changed this will not apply to the local organization. The new nam e of the new denom ination will be The United Church of C hrist At the m eeting of the General Council last year and at a m eet ing of the General Synod last Mr. Richardson can’t do it all. A Chamber of Commerce is not a Ju ly both bodies voted, upon ap one man affair. I t ’s a group of men and women representing their own proval of the project, to subm it the m atter to a vote of the local business interests, who know that by working together they can churches. This voting is now in make Ashland a better place in which to live and do business. process. Coordination of the various projects which are being handled by local civic organizations in order to prevent duplication and in order to work toward specific goals, can and should be a responsibility of the Secretary' of the Chamber of Commerce. This coordination, how ever, cannot be a one man job. Each civic organization should have a representative whose duties would include meeting with the Chamber of Commerce and the secretary at planning sessions in order to assist in the allocation of community welfare projects. •i. * INTER-CLUB COUNCIL President W alt Bosshard, K/wanis head, has suggested that the var ious clubs such as Kiwanis, Lions, Soroptimists, Rotary, and Activians form an allied council of civic clubs to coordinate the activities and prevent duplication of club projects. Church represents as does the Evangelical Reformed previous mergers of two denominations. The Congregational Christian group m em bership approaches 1,- 200,000 with about 6,000 congre gations. The Evangelical Reform ed denom ination num bers about 800,000 with 3,000 churches. The Evangelical group is strongest around St. Louis, Mo. and the Re formed in and about Philadel phia, Pa. The Congregational Christian Church Is historically related to H arvard, Yale, Am herst, Williams and m any other institutions of learning Including Pacific U niversity at Fore s t Grove, Oregon which now has an enrollm ent of 1,000 students. Why do we believe that our felowship is being called into this union? Why do we believe it more than just a “good idea’ to ve? i1 j _ AND Arc and Machine cation - |5 V T h f f ir s t 1 I 1 Bellview Super Serviee P hone 4514 Pritchard’s Grocery .

In the majority of cases the church home is a better home. Yet in all this welter of churches, sects, faiths, and philosophies one fact stands out. There is complete confusion and ignorance among the people of the various churches and sects concerning their fellow churches. Somewhere, in a childs education, he needs to be taught the history of contemporary religions, the differences in viewpoints which have created the various sects, and given a solid background in religious philosophy. 1 Mac’s Shoe Shop Fired H ea tin g E quipm ent Clogged Radiators Boiled Out ,P**.

And teaching religion is the work of the Church School. For its mid-winter project in the Crusade year of Church School Increase, The Methodist Church is, with other Churches, inviting school authorities, if favorably disposed, to cooperate in conducting a “re ligious education census" in public schools of the nation to determine the students' religious preference, and help lead’ them to the Church ' eafc • *ta«a b e tte r fo (/it ceUt&i Is due to the fact th a t we are not one.
