SARA WISDOM
Active as an officer in the
speech club and a member of
the campus drama fraternity, she
enjoyed appearing In plays "us
ually character roles like old wom
en, she laughed.
She is particularly fond of mak
ing decorations for parties and
banquets and admits that she's
gone "way out trying for origi
nal effects. She'd like to employ
some of her ideas, decoration and
otherwise in the program she is
organizing at the Klamath church.
First, she thinks a good youth1
program calls for a fine blend
ing of both social and spiritual
activities slanted at ages 13-24.
She likes youth aimed devotional
programs, supplemented with lots
of informal song and games ses
sions at after-church fellowships.
She also thinks that a stroni
recreation Program adds a lot of
interest to- a youth program. In
the past she has used informal
tournaments in ping pong, volley
ball and miniature golf "simple,
but lots of fun.
At the same time she likes
"big calendar events" such
the upcoming Halloween party and
Thanksgiving breakfast. Future
plans call for an all-church Val
entine's banquet and Youth Week
in April.
Interspersed with the many sec
retarial duties and youth planning
meetings with her boss and pas
tor. Rev. Mack P. Jones, Miss
Wisdom has found some time for
sightseeing.
"I like Klamath Falls fine," she
said. "But I must say it was
quite a surprise. I thought all of
Oregon looked like Crater Lake

pines.

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.

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."
