CHURCH AND BUSINESS.

paper says:
"This week three of the five Protest

puent closing of the churches for an

ility that two if not three of these
three churches will be without min

may be business for a church but we
doubt il very much. We are certain
1t would not work in any line of bust
ness. Suppose for instance that three.
fifths of the business places in this
town should close up for the next
three months. what do you think would
be the condition of their business
when they reopened? Suppose they
could hold their faithful followers,
how many of the new customers do
You suppose they would have when
they opened up for business? Not very
many we are certain. Business could
not be run on that system. OF course
we are told that the church is not a
business proposition but we wonder
If il might not be more prosperous If
some business principles We're APP
Piled If 1t is solely a religious prop
