Laki Church Needs Told While the Men's Club of Ml Laki Community Presbyterian Church is making plans for their annual auction on Oct. 28, Rev. Andrew A. Jarvis is outlining the church educational space needs. The auction, slated for 10 a.m Oct. 28 in the fairgrounds will benefit the Mt. Laki educational building fund. Last year the men raised more than $6,000. Rev. Jarvis, who pointed out the church school's average at tendance is now running 150 per Sunday, said this is a 25 per cent increase over the 1960 figures. In pointing out the need for the proposed building, he noted that the church "by using every nook and cranny" has only .1,900 square feet of Sunday School space. That is about 16 square feet per child, or four by four feet. Rev. Jarvis cited the "Building and Equipping for Christian Edu cation" as setting the minimum space at 30 square feet per pupil, with 32 to 36 more desiraole. Because of Mt. Laki's situation, Rev. Jarvis pointed out that class es have overflowed into the bal cony and other sanctuary areas, making it impossible to hold two worship services. In the meantime the church lay men are collecting merchandise for the auction which will range from farm equipment, stock and hav to canned foods and house hold Eoods. according to Joe Wright,' Men's Club president.

TU 2-4404 A Church Should Look Like One, Fink Says ' Churches must take on some- thing more than the appearance of the supermarket, the post of lice or the howling alley, declares A. Hensel Fink, consulting archi tect for the Division of National Missions of the Methodist Church. Writing in the, November issue of Methodism's family magazine, "Together, he says, Churches need not look like religious fac tories. A modern-style church can be beautiful, fresh and winsomer uncluttered with furbelows which have no meaning for our day. "Of course, the various units must be capable of serving specif ic purposes worship, fellowship, education but it should not be necessary to put up a sign to inform the public that a new struc ture is a church. Nor does a cross attached superficially to the outside make a building into a house of God." .Architect Fink believes that a man who designs churches cannot do his job effectively unless he clearly understands the true work ings of the church and the beliefs of its people. Modern materials and contemporary design alone will not create a church that is either beautiful or functional. The plan, he says, must always take into consideration the liturgy of the denomination. Roman Cath olics, Episcopalians, and Luther ans, for instance, emphasize the altar or Communion table; the Baptists and Disciples of Christ give significant place to the bap tistry. The dignity, integrity, and beauty of the contemporary church is in such simple basic qualities as light, space, color, texture," claims Fink. "It makes use of native materials in the Frank Lloyd Wright tradition that beautiful buildings conform to the surroundings and blend with na ture's shades and contours. There was a time, he points out, when it was thought the only cor rect mode of entry into heaven was through a Gothic arch. "But we forget that Gothic churches were the modern buildings ot the 12th century, and the style was not widely accepted for years. Cer tainly no 20th-century Christian should look askance at the classic beauties of Gothic Romanesque, or Byzantine forms. But they speak of other days. shoot 'til you seethe light 0 An Orgeni ! No single church design is right and all others wrong, Fink says. A design which suits one setting may be completely out of place in another. Each should be planned for the time and place it is to be built. "And if it is to reflect its pur pose faithfully," he concludes, "it will be planned from the inside out. That in itself, I think, will do more than anything else to mark the edifice as one having both ecclesiastical dignity and architectural integrity." India Editor Speaks Here A Christian missionary who pub. lishes a Hindu language monthlv publication in India will speak at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 18 at Suburban Christian Church in the third an nual missions school series. Fran Remple, who works in the field of Christian publications at Kanpur, U.P., India, is secretary of the New Testament Publications Association.
