Just a Word Why
Churches Should Advertise
::
♦
The writer was in Syracuse, N. 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.
