they used instead a bunch of ivy
the ivy being sacred to BacchUs, god
of wine. When ivy was scarce some

DEAN SCORES CHURCHES

"Side show" methods of attracting
people to the church were decried
by Dean Smaller Mathews of the Uni
versity of Chicago in an editorial en-
titled, Entertaining People Into the
Kingdom of Cod" in the current
number of the Biblical World, issued
today.
Free lunches, stereopticon lectures,
pageants, athletic contests and mems
dinners are a few of the church ac-
tivities he classified as frivolous"
''hysterical, cheap" and vulgar"
ct is amazing how mad after
amusement our modern world is"
said Dean Mathews. "Our preachers
must have their stories, our profess
sorts must be clever as well as learn
ed, and our evangelists must be vul-
gar before our attention is attracted. B"
