Now and again we hear
the re­
mark that Tillamook city is church
poor. There may be some just ground
for this assertion, for somehow, re­
ligion is not run on the same econ­
omical basis as business is transacted.
Everybody wouldth ink it absurd to
have a postoffice for every Protestant
denomination in this city wouldn’t
they? Yet, as a matter of fact, that is
what the church people of 1 illamook
are doing when it comes to public
worship , and it is no wonder that
some of them have a hard time rustl­
ing money to meet expenses. Really,
if we could all place our religious
prejudices aside, wouldn’t we have
to admit that we lacked business sa­
gacity, when one large church is all
that is needed. Religious prejudices,
however, are so strong that no de­
nomination will budge, and we sup­
pose that small congregations and
empty pews will prevail for a long
time yet.
