THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ST. JOHN CHURCH DECIDES TO MOVE AND STAY INTACT Board Is Instructed to Negotiate for Site on North Side, A house divided against itself cannot stand. That was definitely decided Wednesday night at a congregational meeting of St. John's Reformed Church. Merrill and S. Alabama Sts. The meeting was originally for the purpose of permitting the church board to present some adequate means whereby the congregation might disband because of differences as to where the church should relocate. Vote Against Proposition In voting against the proposition to disband many members assailed the idea bitterly. They pleaded that all should remain loyal to their church and help to devise some means where they might all agree on anew site. “Our church is one of the oldest Reformed churches In the city," said Frank Iske, member of the board and one of the founders. “For over fifty years we have remained together helping to build up the community and serve all about us. Under the leadership of devoted pastors we have accomplished wonderful things.” Wil] “Stick Together” The congregation was unanimous in voting to “stick together.” The congregation voted to instruct the church board to negotiate for a certain north site. • Although it has not voted to move north, it deemed it wise to a consider the site. Reason for the congregation's desire to move is because of its steady growth. Because they are now situated in a factory district, it will be impossible to build in a way to serve the most people, the Rev. Frederick H. Diehm, pastor, said.
