work."Church NewsMr. Clair Kahl of the United Temperance Movement of Minnesota spokevery acceptably in our church September 18, in the absence of the pastor whowas preaching for the Winnipeg congregation.NOTICE OF CALLOn Saturday, Oct. 29, I moderated acall of the Stafford Congregation on theRev. Joseph M. Caskey. It was unanimous on the first ballot and the Staffordpeople are hoping it will be accepted.signed/Waldo MitchelTHE WICHITA FUNDMidwest Presbytery, at a meeting atBeaver Falls during the 1955 meeting ofSynod, appointed a committee to proceed with the opening of a work inWichita. The Evangelism Committeehad already made some investigation ofthe field, and it was on the basis of thatinformation that Presbytery acted. TheHome Missions Board granted $1000 forthe purchase of a property.There are manycommunities in thisrapidly expanding city where churchesare few, but prices are high, vacant lotsare scarce and those that are to befound were often found marked with asign, "Site of the New Presbyterian (orChristian or Baptist or Nazarene)Church."The committee chose to purchase asite just outside the city to the southwest, where there is the greatest building activity. The price was reasonableand there are advantages to be gainedfrom building before the area is takeninto the city.Since a suitable meetingplace hasbeen a great problem in previous efforts at Wichita, it is proposed to erectan inexpensive but serviceable and attractive building, possibly with livingquarters for a minister, which may laterbe converted to classrooms. This willmean, of course, the need for borrowingsome money, an amount which theChurch Erection Board at present is notin position to provide.The proposal being considered is someform of a plan currently used by manychurches and denominations. It is, inbrief, that Covenanters who may havesome money to invest sayat 5%could provide the money, with thepledge of support given by MidwestPresbytery as security, the loans to berepaid over a period of 10 years, out ofthe support coming from the congregations of the Presbytery.The final paragraph of the Committee's report to Presbytery is as follows:"The Committee recognizes, however,that finding the man to be sent to thiswork is the real problem. The youngpastor of the church (Mennonite) whichNovember 9, 1955we visited in Hutchinson, urged the needfor a man whom God has called. Whilewe recognize that we cannot cease ourefforts to find the man, nonetheless, thisis a matter which we must ask God toprovide. If this work is of God, thenwe may believe that He has His manto send, and He is able to impress Hiscall on him and bring him forward totheThe Committee: R. J. Huey, JosephM.
