We realize that there are arguments which in degree are convincing to those people who might favor these stores. However, we are convinced that as church members and officials in a church we must weigh our thoughts and actions by the thinking of The Methodist Church to whose doctrines we subscribe. We realize further that there are several very forthright statements in the Discipline of The Methodist Church for 1960 which must be considered to have relevance to our thinking and action. We discover that one of the causes for bringing a Methodist to trial in the church is "Buying, selling, manufacturing intoxicating liquor as a beverage} renting his property for the manufacture or sale thereof; signing a petition in favor of granting a license for the sale thereof; procuring a license for the sale of such liquors ... ."" (Paragraph 969, section (d), p. 277.) In the section on ''Temperance and Public Morals" we read ''The Methodist Church re-asserts its long established conviction that the legalization of intoxicants as beverages violates the Christian standards of morality and social concern which the nation claims to accept. Alcoholic indulgence inflicts serious loss to the community in damage to health and efficiency, death through traffic accidents, the creation and intensification of poverty and economic waste. It contributes to the public disorder, crime, and moral deviation now threatening the welfare of the nation and the life of the church. It keeps alive the alcohol industry with its insidious influence on social life and public affairs .'"' (Section 2022, p- 696) atta Therefore, be it resolved that the Official Board of Broad Street Methodist Church in meeting on December 14, 1960 believes that the position of the church in thinking about alcohol is a correct one. Be it further resolved that we encourage the activities of the ABC Opposition Committee of the City of Statesville in doing everything within its power to prevent the spread of this evil through the possible legalizing of liquor sales in the community.

BY TH PrP iCIAL BOARD= JANUARY 29, 1901 we have come to the point in our Building Program when it is necessary ~. have sufficient funds to defray accumulated costs and provide for others until gifts begin to be presented for the Program. The items concerne? are: Architects fees, fund raising costs for Marts and Lundy, printing and office expenses, congregational dinners and a few other minor expenses. All of these have been approved by the congregation and the Offieciel Board at various times in official meetings. RESOLVED, therefore, that the Official Board authorize the securin; of a loan up to $15,000 for defrayl: these costs. it is understood that this obligation will be satisfied as early as possible after building funds accumulate.

The usage and needs based on present and future programs of teaching, activities and projects of Church School leaders and teachers. This can be done best by: A. Discussing with the General Superintendent and Officers the number of new classes that need to be organized now and those that are likely to be needed in the near future. Meeting with the Divisional Superintendents, Counselors, Teachers, and Class Officers to discuss in small groups the space and equipment needs according to the present and future programs of each division, department and class. Discussing with these (¢ ‘icers an eaders their ideas of the probable growth of their pé ; - departments and classeSe The usage of existing space by groups other than Church Schoole & € y & } This would include the number and purpose of meetings and the size and space requirements of each groupe The proposed services to be rendered by the Church and the space requirements for these. This is particularly important in view of the location of the Methodist Conference center in Statesville and the increased number of activities on a Conference-wide basis which will be centered in Statesville. The growth of Church membership attendance, Church School enroll- ment and attendance. According to the 1950 and 1959 Conference Journals, we have the following example: CHURCH CHURCH CHURCH SCHOOL SCHOOL % IN YEAR _ MEMBERSHIP SNROLLMENT: AV. ATTEND, AV. ATTEND, 1950 1298 967 37 38.7% 1959 1305 1019 : 54 6% The above indicates that while the Church membership increased one- half of one per cent Church School enrollment increased 5.3% and the Church School average attendance increased 48.5%. More complete data should be compiled. The administrative needs of the Church and Church School which should include: A. Office space for the Church School Secretary, Church School records, and literature.

Classroom needs cannot always be determined by the recommended minimum square footage requirements, The total enrollment and the total average attendance, calculated on a quick basis, is somewhat less than that reported in the Conference Journal for the year 1958-59. Certain rooms which are sufficiently large for Church School activities and may even have some space to spare are also used for other activities for which they may not be too large.

We met at the church om a Sunday afterwoon add discussed the situation. At this meeting it was decided that very Little could be done in the way of a Follow-u> Compaign watil ovr peeple had been brought together in a unitied effort, It was recognised that both that group of people who wanted to go ahead with the complete proposed program and also that group which felt that the complete pregram WAS premature were both very sincere groups and that the feriings of beth of these groups should be considered in any effort at wnification, The procedure suggested was as follows. A sub-committee was set up including Mr. June Scarborough, Mr. Flake Sherrill, aad myself. We three, along with the whele committee, felt that the first appreach should be te call together a groep of eur members representing beth schools of thought u- ‘ar es the Building Program is concerned, We decided to tell this group that it waa the Fellew-up Committee's opinion that a strong effort must be made to unify eur church and that some plan of action gust be decided upon for recommendation te the Official Beard with which beth groups could live, and be satisfied and happy. Such « meeting was held at the church, Frem thie meeting, ond fram numerous discussions wi th members of our church, we were able te arrive at what we thought would be « satisfactory solution. Incidentally, befere the sub- Committee took any action, it met with Mr. Lawrence Blanton, Chairman of the Official Board, and Mr. A. BD.
