To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
/ nave just read the editorial in the
Herald of this date in regard to the
Go-to-church campaign, and beg to be
allowed space for the following sugyes-
tions: The Herald says: Not infre-
quently during the past week the eX-
preston 'commercializing the church,
has been heard in Washington with
expressions OF regret that its sacred
ness and solemnity has thus been in
vaded." II commercializing the church
will fill the pews. as happened last Sun
day. then why not commercialiZe II?
Can you tell me just what is meant by
the sacredness and solemnity" OF the
church being 'invaded?'' Invaded by
w:lat-the nonchurchgoer? Are sacred
ness and solemnitv destroyed by large
attendance? Then. according to this
line of reasoning, the church would be
most sacred and solemn when II is
empty, / have not been an hahitual
churchgoer. but went twice on 'Go-to-
Church Sunday" and expect to *
again. having been delighted with my
experience. AN OUTSIDER.
