A "SCRUBBlNG" SERVICE,
Novel Methods OF English CicrSyEleIl
to Attract congregations.


A novel church service is announced
to be held at st. Laurence church.
Birmingham. On a recent Sunday the
vicar, Rev. T. j. Bass, invited the con-
gregation to take part in a ''scrub5ing
service,' which would be held in the
church next day, beginning at $3.50 and
lasting until 0:3o.
Soap, water and patent scrubbers
would, he said, be provided, and all the
-congrcgat ion, male and female; We're
eligible to lend q hand in cleaning the
church.
The church has had a curious hist DRY,
and has been blessed with a curious
collection of Wears. Some eight or
ten years ago the parish, which is the
most poverty stricken in all Bir1ning-
ham, was controlled by Rev. j. +. M.
Whish, and he, finding the Services
*languishing from lack Of worshipers,
hit upon all sorts of queer expedients
for compelling them to come in.
He announced the most flaming
series of discourses ever given public
ity to by handful and poster. "Pigeon
- AhS, "A Noou 10y oli Tic AOtl1Sc
and kindred topics were dealt with in
stead of orthodox Scriptural topics.
Thousands of printed cards were cir
culated each week, bearing such affec-
tomato inscriptions as:
'Come and hear your old pal, the Rev.
J. +. NJ. Whish.'
'Now, then, buck up! Give your old
pal Whish another trial."
Other cards would contain an ex-
hortation signed:
IL remain, your true pal, J. T. NJ.
Whish."
This original vicar would go into
public houses during the dinner hour,
and, addressing the company, would
say:
'Nell, gentlemen, you have given my
friend the landlord a good turn; now
finish up at my little place Oh the other
side of the road"
Special services were held-onc week
for pigeon flyers, another week for
sweeps and third for sandwich men.
Mr.. Whish's successor was as devoted
and faithful vicar as his predecessor,
but lacked Mr.. Whish's humor and dis
erection. He gave so narrowing a de-
scription of the denizens of the courts
and alleys in the parish to local jour
nalist that those whom he freely de-
scribcd as hawkers, rogues and loose
women resented his descriptions of
them by breaking his windows.
Now a washing service is announced,
and doubtless the interior of the church
warrants the appeal made for the serv-
ices Of an army of cleaners:-Londo
