REFUSE TO PRODE CHARGES WE BY GRAND JURY

Although the county commlHlonera decided Saturday to Instruct the "pedal investigating committee" to investigate further the conditions at the Home for the Friendless, members of the committee said today that they would refuse to make an investigation along the lines suggested by the grand Jury, The committee is composed of Fred White, president of the County Board of Childrens' Guardians; U. S. Bowman, county auditor, and 'John Melpolder secretary of the Wayne County Social Service Bureau. Members say further investigation would have to be on the order of a Judicial Investigation, which would, be beyond the Jurisdiction of their, committee. The grand jury Intimated that there had been a misappropriation of funds hw tha Tnat.'nn. '. ' ; ; "The commissioners cannot expect the committee to take over any oi w mi wnrtr " naiA a. member Of the committee. "An investigation of the kind suggested'oy "e grana jury would require that wituJrfses be examined. This could only be done legitimately through a Judicial committee." L. S. Bowman, a member of . the committee, said the investigation which was being conducted by the committee has not been completed but that it was not the intention to investigate any criminal allegations which might be made concerning any of (he employes of the Home. "The committee has never been discharged," said County . Commissioner Anderson, at the meeting Saturday, "and I am in favor of continuing the committee with ( the instructions to investigate the conditions of the Home further." ' .

INFORMATION SOUGHT ABOUT RURAL ROUTES To rate salaries and secure accurate data on the actual running expenses of the postoffice department, general orders have been received by Postmaster Beck to instruct all rural carriers to count and weigh every piece of mail delivered and collected during the month of October. The same order was issued in July, and it is presumed that the data is to be used in determining the proper number of carriers and the kind of equipment necessary in making ' the proposed change to automobile delivery. When the count was made in July, it showed that there was a total of 85,525 pieces of mail delivered on rural routes, out of Richmond. Of this number 20,812 was first-class mail ; 55,767 was second-class;, 6,643 third class, and 2,043 fourth class, and 240 franked pieces. The total weight of mail carried during the month was 12,175 pounds. '.

The girl was found under the influence of a drug and is now at the general city hospital in a serious condition.

BROTHERHOOD MEETS The Brotherhood of the First Baptist church will hold the first meeting of the winter at the church tonight in a social gathering. Several informal talks dealing with the purposes of the organisation will be made by officers and by the pastor, the Rev. W. O. Stovall. The president of the Brotherhood is M. L. Rowe. GOSPEL AND entiftued Prom Page One Churches sometimes enter a field for which they are not fitted. Rev. Mr. Stovall in closing, declared that the criticism of the minister . -which accuses him of failing - to compete , with the Sunday picture show and the ball game is unfair for this reason'. . . , , The Rev. Mr. Stovall said in part: 7 "The fauit for this condition of affairs is usually laid at the door of the minister. And the fault may be'largely his, but. not for the reasons usually given. He is blamed for not making the services of the church attractive, by which is meant entertaining.- Here is a misconception of. the purpose of the church service, to whose demands some preachers In their despair have yielded. An extreme example was reported from Cleveland. Ohio, some time ago. A pastor there was said to have established a 'Love Court,' in r hich the heart affairs of disturbed young people are openly discussed and then left to a jury for decision. ' "There may not be many cases as absurd and as abviously foreign to the purpose of the church , service as this one, but there are enough like it in kind to blunt many people's enjoyment of a genuine service of worship.- - "Another mischievous misconception of the church service is the notion that the center of the service is the preacher. How often do you hear any body say in regard - to going to cLurcb, "I am going to worship?" Is it not rather, "I am going to hear Mrs. way to :

or "Dir. 8omndJ. "Something of the answer to the question why people do not go to church may b- found in the tact that the chnrck peo tlmneelyee, preachers Included, all too frequently '.fa& to have clearly defined in their : own minds the ;real reason for ;chnrch- attendance. We keep dlng-donilll at our members to attend church.. It ts their doty, we- any, and they have no right to consider themselves members in good standing and not attend the service of the ' church. - Or. If our di gestion happen to be better, we may be leas abrupt la' the matter. We may tell them how much we misa them, and ! bow much good It will do them to come, and how. they will come to enJoy it when they get used to 1$ again. To tha people outside tha church we recommend the services. The singing is 'good, the aermon are short and the entire service. is brier and pithy. We. are sure , they will enjoy, meeting th people they are so friendly and sociable. - . .- f - .' ; "Now all thla may be well enough. but where in It -all la any appealing reason why : people should - go. to church? What Is it all for? What actual claim has .the church on. their Interest and time?,. .v ,-,v 5 -1 "Of course tha ' pastor know why tha people should go to church. He can usually find it printed in big let ters on the sign In front of hi church. But he too frequently falls to give it proper emphasis in his words and In his manner. We go to church to wor ship God. There should be the cordial friendliness,- of course. And the social side of the church life should be look ed after.- But that can all be attended to without serving tea to the ladies and cigars to the men at the close of the service in payment for their consenting to be bored by the formal part of the meeting. - "Here in the church meeting is where men and women acknowledge the worthiness of God. Here is where we actually meet with Jesus Christ, if we may still claim His promise to the two or more who come together in His name. Here is where we turn to satisfy that pious longing that ought to be as real in the heart of every Christian as it was in the heart of the Psalmist when he exclaimed, "My soul longetb. yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord: 'my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God',' (84:2). - - .f . ; - . "Now when we . have it clearly in mind that the. center of the meeting is God and that the purpose of the meeting is to worship God, we do not feel so much confusion over the question why people do not go to church. The answer la the simplest in the world. It is the same that I would give if asked why I do not eat mackerel. I do not have any appetite for it. It may be all right, but I do not care for it. The people do not go to church because their hearts and souls do not cry out for the living God, they do not have any appetite for worship. "The demand today is to give the people what they want and then they will go to church. That means to give that what they have an "appetite for. can meet that demand to a cerbright, cheerful and interesting; but essentially it is worship, and all that we can put into it will' not attract people regularly three times or. twice, or even once a week if they have no taste for worship. ' "The alarming fact' that confronts us Is not that the non-church -people do not attend church, but that the church people themselves in such large numbers have so little desire for worship. If there is nothing in churchgoing that the saints consider worth while, how can we expect it to have any appeal for the sinner? Why should the world go? What is there in the attitude of the average church member towards the services ot the church that would commend it to his non-church-going neighbor? He is usually found consulting his own personal pleasure in the matter, this average church member, his likes and dislikes. And whether he Is praising or fault-finding, the object-of 'his.
