Y.,one Sunday last August. He was detained because of an accident to his car. He wanted to go to church that night, hut he didn’t know where to go. He picked up the Syracuse Sunday paper and looked through it from the front page to the back, but there wasn’t a word about the church or the church services. As far as the papers were concerned that city might have been churchiess. But it wasn’t so with the movies and other houses of entertainment. Oh, no! Their invitations were spread in large advertisements all over the page. There were a dozen or so invitations to go out on Sunday night for amusement, but not one tq go to the House of God. Possibly the church notices appeared in the Saturday issue. They generally do, but this was Sunday and the Sunday paper was the one available. The amusement places do not overlook the Sunday papers. There may have been many more in the city with the same thoughts and desire as the writer. He happened to remember that sometimes the churches have bulletins in the hotei corridors, so he took the trouble to go downstairs. Being a Methodist, he looked for the Methodist churches. There were two on the board, so he picked out one and took a chance. We suppose that some will say that a man or woman who wants to go to church will find a way. That’s true, but why permit the theatres to have the monopoly? Isn’t the church a business ? If it isn’t, it’s time it was. Think it over. Ï ? « « • ’ Q :: • • ::
