Methodist Bishop Emphasizes Work Over Architecture
AMARILLO May 31 Bishop Charles T Seleeman told the 38th annual Northwest Texas Methodist conference that a great church is defined by worship and Christian civic work rather than steeples and grand columns. He urged evangelism and community service, and noted the cabinet hopes preacher appointments will be set tonight for tomorrow. Memorial services were held for Rev J B McCarley and Rev R B Walden. Rev J B Lyles urged church support for new negro churches in West Texas as democracy grows from Protestant roots. The conference reported 5 000 new members in seven months. A $250 000 to $400 000 gift from Mrs J M Radford was acknowledged for a McMurry College student center, with construction to start soon.
