OUR CLOSED CHURCHES

/ suppose many readers viii be star
tdled and some offended, at least in
their first impressions. when they see
our churches arraigned as misusers of
wealth, writes Samuel Mofett in Sue
cess. How is that possible? they Will
protest Are not our churches obviously
and ConspicuousIy devoted 20 the gen
eraI good? Are they not guided BY able
and unseIfsh men who devote their lives
OF the spiritual needs Of their fellow
men? And is ii not pTeposter6us 10
charge them with misusing wealth
either shamefully or otherwise when
every one knows that most Of our
churches are struggling under a burden
Of debt?
All that is true enough. yet the brief
est considerations makes it clear that
the hundred thousand churches in
America Qet Us take that number for
the sake Of argumenD are trying 10 do
their work under conditions that would
be considered foolish and wastefui If
they existed in any ordinary enterprise.
Imagine a hundred thousand depart
ment stores doing active business only
one day in seven and remaining closed
for the other six days. or. at best. Go
ing a langUid business on one or two
odd afternoons
Imagine a hundred thousand theaters
giving performances two or three even
iugs d week and then remaining closed
and silent for four or five evenings.
Imagine 8 hundred thousand factories
working ten hours a day for a single
day in seven and perhaps working five
hours a day for two other days. and
then letting their fine engines and ma
chineTy lie idle all the rest Of the time.
We should call it stupid and extrava-
