MINISTERS HOLD
WEEKLY MEETING
AT CENTRAL
By J. D. PARHAM
Tuesday, March 15, at the noon hour, the ministers of the Interdenominational Ministers Alliance assembled in their meeting room in the Central M. E. Church on West Mitchell street for the purpose of holding the regular meeting for the week.
A large number of ministers were present to share in the devotional service. Rev. D. T. Murray, the president of the Alliance presided over the meeting. After the devotion the regular order of procedure was observed. As to the reports of the various committees of the Alliance: The report made by the executive committee relative to our observing the celebration of Easter in a way that would bespeak spirit of unity for the ministers of the Alliance merited considerable study by the ministers who were present It was agreed upon that without any objections, that such an observance of the celebration of Easter would be carried out, and it was left with the committee to work out complete details for such celebration at some central site at the sunrise hour on Easter morning to be named in the next regular weekly meeting. Rev Bowden heads that committee
The report made by the committee on the state of the church by Rev N. J Croiley, showed that church was still faced with the condition of a very small percentage of should be worshippers of God are regular attendants of services of worship in the church. Out of this report grew a very helpful discussion of how in a day like this, a turning from the church can be mended by truly consecrated ministers who study the spiritual needs of the people, and strictly observe the basic principles of Christianity. In other words, the Rev. John C. Wright, offered that. 'We make our church houses real spiritual clinics." So interested in this report were the ministers, that a suggestion was accepted to at some future time the Interdenominational Ministers Alliance will sponsor a Church Loyalty Day movement which will be made as nearly as possible a city-wide church affair.
With the absence of the chairman of the program committee, the inspirational program for the day was carried forward to next weekly meeting A very large number of ministers are expected to be present in the next meeting, as the Lenten season gives us that spirit to go and share in doing much good
To the delight of the ministers of the Alliance, the Rev D T. Murray, president of the Alliance is making the Alliance a joyful leader. He enjoys the association of his brother ministers and they are portraying a spirit of fellowship in each meeting
