THE VALUE or TENT MEETINGS.

To The Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The religious tent meetings in the hot sea-
have been praised. but everything in this life
has both a bright and shady side. and I call
attention to the shady side of the tent meetings.
Numerous converts reported. but how many
become efficient church members? The regular
church members are taxed to support these tent
meetings, and figures show. the church reve-
lessened thereby. Much Of the tent
meeting expense is 20 pay for regular preachers
lay evangelists from abroad when there are just
as good speakers here in the city lay and clerical.
who frequently better educated and more
tactful than imported from abroad. even
from the Far West Especially is this true OF
our young men
Worst Of all the tent meetings not only draw the
attention of church members TO outside affair
but. probably, the most Of those attracted from
their own churches TO the tent meetings go for
the entertainment and do not join the workers.
A city pastor tells that many who go from
their churches to the tent meetings never
return. What becomes OF them?
How many city churches have been made
stronger by these tent meetings? There may be
some but not a larger number weakened
financially numerically and-yes. spiritually?
