TEACHERS TO GIVE PLAY Rev Pavy of Second Church Speaks of Effect of New Inventions Westfield Dec Rev mour Pavy preaching on "What Can Believe Church? Is It a Dead at the Second Congregational church this morning pointed out the gains made by the church in financial assets and yearly contributions increase in the church membership and improvement in the practical services rendered by the church He saw the stability and power of the church revealed in its ability to make gains in the face of tremendous competition and changed conditions Dealing with this point Rev Air Pavy said: inventions have entered the field as competitors of the church The automobile is one In 1914 we possessed 2000000 auto mobiles aqd in 1926 22000000 The automobile has made society more fluid more independent and less lo calized It has taken more' people away from church than it has taken to church The golf course is another competitor Since the war golf has grown in popularity by leaps and bounds A game of Sunday morning golf has frequently taken the place oY attendance at morning worship The radio is another In 1922 tie had 60000 radios and this year we will be using 7500000 The microphone preacher is the local great est competitor The radio preacher is robbing the local church of its wor shipers decreasing the interest of the parishioner in his local church and reducing church contributions urthermore the universal prosper ity of ovr country while being a blessing has also been a handicap We are the most prosperous nation in the world:
