Preparations are completed for
Everybody at-Church-Day'' Sunday.
Approximately $4,000 printed invita-
tons have been given out In all parts
of the city by those who have been
pushing the plan which originated
with the Topeka Ministerial Union.
Aside from this many oral invitations
have been extended. Some people in
the city have doubtless been omitted
in the distribution of invitations but
they are asked to attend at least one
service, nevertheless.
There will be a special effort made
by the ministers of the city to please
the big congregations in order to in
duce those who are not in the habit Of
attending church to go again.
The Rev. Joseph p. Hicks, pastor
Of the Second Presbyterian church.
and the publicity man for the big
churchgoing day, has suggested to the
members of his congregation who are
IN the habit of attending services reg
ularly, that in case OF full house
they give their seats to the strangers.
He will speak Sunday morning on
Five Reasons Why All People Should
Attend Church."
AS the seating capacity of the To-
peka churches is estimated as being
at least 1900, it 10 hoped to have the
places of worship filled with about
$4,000 persons on Sunday.
