Prior to 1917 these three churches held sep arate services, each in it s own house of worship. There bad for a long time been the feeling that it was poor business to maintain three congregations where one eould meet the needs of the field. Under date of September 2. 1916. the Rev. Ludwig Thomsen, the pastor of the Congregational church sent letters to each of the others pastors of the city, suggesting that tne work of the non- - Mormon, Protestant churches, in the interest of economy and Christian fellowship, should be united. This letter re ceived hearty indorsement from the Baptist and Methodist churches. The Rev. W. F. Bulkley, as spokesman for for the St Mary's Episcopal church, declined to enter the Community church movement but expressed the heartiest sympathy with it and assured the other pastors of his desire to cooperate with them in any way that he could. At a union meeting of the churches held January 1, 1917, the matter of union was talked over at that the work of the academy be perpetuated in kindergarten work and the the Mena Trope memorial fund be USed in hta carrying such a program. In pursuance of that policy a building was erected at the corner of Third North street and University avenue and was dedi cated March 23, 1924. Since that time the kindergarten teacher, Miss wary Muirneaa, uas had all the pu pils she could care for. In addition to the kindergarten rooms, the Mena Trope memorial hall contains a weU equipped stage and an audience room that will seat comfortably more than two hundred people. This room is being used for the regular church services, for Sunday school and for Ladies Aid The boy scouts society purposes. occupy one of the larger class rooms and they, together with the men of the Christian Endeavor society and of the church are making a first class tennis court at the rear of the haU.

At once he began his work, carrying on the same spirit that Bishop Tuttle had begun. In these past four years he has endeared himself to people everywhere. St Mary's church, Provo, has had a course of slow moving but usually successful work. Begun in 1892 it has continued to carry on more The present varying contortions. church building was completed in 1907 and consecrated in 1908. The rectory was rebuilt in 1917. Always ministering to an ever changing con gregation, the work, while not yet becoming independent from outside financial assistance, still has grad ually grown. The aim has ever been that of trying to Improve and develop the spiritual, the moral, the social and economic condition of Provo and the surrounding county. From the first there have been able men In charge of the work. The Rev. George Townsend, a graduate. of Oxford was the minister in charge from 1904 to 1909. A scholar of the first order he made a real Impression on the life of Provo. He was succeeded by two, the Rev. T. . B. Denbart and Rev. M. L. Maine, who successfully covered the work UU 1912. Dr. George L. BoutiUeir was in charge tiU 1914. Advanced In years, his great scholarship and sympathetic understanding of hu man nature was limited In Its contact with the great moss of the people, but had a real influence on the lives and character of not a few. In 1914 the present Rector, the Rev. W. F. Bulkley, began his work. He Is a graduate of Trinity college, Hartford, Conn., with a B. A. degree; a graduate of Berkely Divinity school, Middletown, Conn., where he did his class in all the branches of theological study, being the only member of the class to receive the coveted degree of B. D. in course. From 1914 to 1917 he devoted aU his time and energies to the work in Provo. In 1917 he took over the general missionary work of the state in addition and since then has had to be away considerable portion of the time. In his absence the services are carried on by visiting clergymen from other parts of our state. This general work has been continually growing and Is strengthening considerably the spiritual and moral forces of the state. During the past four years, while not achieving entire In accordance, the church here has grown to be the strongest work In Utah outside of Salt Lake City and Ogden. Regular services are held each Sunday, giving promise for an even better future. The woman's working organization of the church in St Mary's Guild, is composed of eighteen members and bas been very active in the work of the church and city. It's chief aim is fellowship and church work. When the drive was made to purchase the site for the steel plant St. Mary's Guild was the first organization In Provo to come three-yea- Utah, and the same was practically true of power and light lines, while bank clearings in 1923 were nearly double tbose of 1922. rftnm"Mat"""""'"""'"HfM!lfMtttt1lflt1tltlttlllllllllltTttmt JOIN The Utah Poultry Producer Cooperative Association and Help Build up a Twenty Million Dollar POULTRY INDUSTRY In the State of Utah For Particulars Write the Utah Poultry Producers Cooperative Association 326 Dooly Bldg.
