PRESBYTERIANS WILL
BUILD A NEW CHURCH
Westminister Congregation Grows Too Large for Present
Edifice and Meeting is Hele to Discu>s Plans for
Erecting a Larger and More Beautiful Structure.
Responding t>> a request from the
session of Westminster Presbyterian
church for a conference, the congre
gation of Westminster Wednesday
night assembled at Its place of wor
ship at the corner of Elm street and
Grove avenue. While there, of course,
has been aom« intimation m to the
real significance of the call, it was
not expected that a new church would
be "built! Wednesday night." Never
theless, If enthusiasm could have
erected a building In one evening,
there would stand somewhere In the
neighborhood of Davis monument and
Dark street this morning a modest.
b|it beautifully,’ designed church capa
ble of seating between live and aix
hundred.
Westminster has been remarkable
in Its growth, especially In the last
two years; so rapid had Its member
ship piled up that the session felt that
U could no longer seat comfortably
the congregation. Something must 1m* ,
done and dona quickly; hence the call
for a conference with the members.
Soma time ago a committee was
appointed to took Into the matter of
a new chur. h. and Wednesday the
chairman prevented a plan which Is
ao plausible that within a ahort time
a new structure can be bnilt.
The superintendent of the .Sunday
school and a ruling elder addressed
the congregation, telling them of the
church's steady growth and showing
the necessity for a larger place of
worship.
Several other addresses were made
by leading workers, and so strong w as
the pleu for building that when the
chairman presented the plans, show
ing the church drawn by an architect,
and explained the comparative ease
with which It could be'built, sentiment
rati high, and although Wednesday
night's meeting was only for confer
ence. it almost took tl|« form of an
official order to build.
it was decided to call an official
congregational m«4t*hg for next Wed
nesday night. at which time all mem
ber* are requested to ba present, and
ft la believed thST the campaign for
a new building Mitliasd at alat night’s
