Their Progress Inevitable as Church Members Progress
[Note: Excerpts from a report submitted to the Reading Room Division by the executive board of a branch church]
Cape Girardeau, Missouri
For at least sixteen years the members of this church had realized that the Reading Room in the church edifice, which is in a residential area, was not fulfilling the purpose for which it was established. Annually we discussed a change, and each time the members were fearful of the undertaking and nothing was done.
Early in 1954 the members decided to do specific metaphysical work on Church. To share the results of this individual study, two groups were formed. Those who found it most convenient to meet in the afternoon did so for a three months' period. A second group then met evenings for three months. The members of this latter group so enjoyed their meetings that they asked for permission to continue. There must have been a need for a more spiritual understanding of Church, for now we are seeing the results of this special study in increased church attendance and a new ground-floor Reading Room located downtown.
