TRACING PEOPLE TO CHURCH
es-DEFENDs SUNDAY PAPERS
Il think 1t is right TO advertise what
the church is doing. and advertise
ones sermons: I would do more OF
X II we could AFFORD it," said the Rev
Carl Sumner Jones, OF the North Con
church IN referring TO the
criticisms OF a Kalamazoo pastor who
had advertised his sermons in Sun
day morning paper. His church was
crowded at the service. but the min
isterial association. which some time
ago boycotted the Sunday papers
may take the matter up. The pastor
belongs 10 the Christian church.
IF | could afford IT," said Mr.. Jones,
Il would take an inch strip across the
bottom OF the Saturday evening and
Sunday morning newspapers and pay
for IL on a strictly business basis.
think the churches ought 10 advertise
more freely than they do.
The objections 10 the Sunday pa
per are absolutely without grounds.
Every one knows who knows anything
about newspaper work that the only
work done in connection with the Sun
day paper is TO distribute IT All OF
the other work is done on Saturday.
The further objection that the maya
zine and other reading matter keep
people away from church is also
So far as the mere read
ing OF the Sunday paper is concern
ed. il doesn't have anything TO do
with people staying away from church.
The fact is, they don't want to go.
II have absolutely no sympathy
with the comic Sunday supplement.
for II unquestionably lowers the tone
of good humor. But for the Sunday
paper itself have no complaint. II
IS the Monday edition, read also by
those who complain most. on which
the Sunday work is done.
Il am fully convinced. however IN
regard to the advertising matter that
display ads are a good thing for a
church and believe ministers are JUS
.ifed in using this means to attract
people to their churches"
