chuRon ATTENDANoE.
lcoMmUNIoATED.1

PROVIDENCE, X. l., Feb. Isl read In
your issue Of Friday last an article on the
decrease OF church attendance, and
quoting Now York church ofIiciala
mode of using visitors, and 1t so much re-
minded me OF the church p'ety here, |
ftel like telling Wilmington people how
they Will lie treated In Rhode Island
churches, which i suppose is the univer-
sal custom throughout New England.
On our srrlyal here last summer we at
once determined TO attend church on
Sundays Us had always been our custom,
but alter going to several the fret sun
day we toand them all closed.
II being summer the preachers had
gone to Europe on their vacations, and
the congregations were On Their way to
Management Pier, which is their custom
during their absence, to battle aud fish,
After the heat Of tho summer was over
and the chu ches again rot into working
order we started TO church once more,
but to our surprise We found strangers
were not welcome, except in one case,
where nplaeafd taid, "Strangers welcome
Sunday evening""
We visited u great many different
denominations, b, ping at last 10 find n
place wbe.e We were welcome, but alas!
there were none excepting the Salvation
Army, which meets n the street. We
were never spoken o or given desirable
seat. The custom Is to detain strangers
in the ye.tlbula until pew-holders Lave
been seated, aud then show them to seats
in the rear Of tbe church, although the
other portion bs hall empty.
