lures regarding Iabor-unionism which
make it impossible for any Christian
man or woman to belong to a union"
The editorial concludes with this
statement: while the McNamaras
are made the scapegoat for the sins
of all labOr-union members, the muir
der is really at the doors of all the
membeTs-Free Methodist, Metho-
dist, Catholic, Baptist, Nazarine,
Christian. and those from other
churches as well as non-church
members-in fine all its membership,

Grafton is guilty. BE not unequaIly
yoked together with Unbeleivers.'
Quit the membership today"
While l cannot see any immediate
connection between the falling off in
attendance at country churches, and
such an attack by religious paper
on trades uhiOnism-Oecause there
are seldom unions in rural commune
ties-still the situation is much the
same in cities, where unions do exist
and where they are growing.
At bottom, however, the reason
may be much the same. My own
notion is that the main trouble with
our churches is much the same as
the main trouble with many of our
newspapers; and that is, too much
editing from the business office.
/ mean by that, too much COM
mercialization-the wealthy pew
renter being too influential in the
church, just as the big advertiser is
too influential with the newspaper;
and the common people, and their
everyday life problems, receiving too
little sympathetic attention.
The attitude of THE Burning
Bush" toward labor unions cannot be
said fairly to be the attitude of the
churches, for the general church atti-

Protestant church within their Dor
ders, for period of twenty years,
- Mr.. Gill has been a country minister
for Is years, and the book is publish
ed by authority Of the Federal CoUn-
Gil of the Churches of Christ in
America. The authors find that coun-
try church attendance in both coUn-
ties has declined during twenty
years about one-third, the falling off
in rural churches as compared with
that in the larger villages has been
greater than that.
The authors say: 1.-THE more nu-
meFOus the churches, the greater the
loss in attendance" And the Post
concludes: 81 small communities hav-
ing only one church the loss in at
tendance was markedly less than in
like communities having two or more
churches. Probably the Protestant
country church will continue to be a
declining institution so long as a
large part of its energies are absorbed
in competing with ITSELF
The author of the letter to The
Day Book submits as the answer an
editorial from The Burning Bush of
Waukesha, Wis, which attacks, in a
decidedly Christian manner, labor
Unionism, picturing the Mcnamara
brothers as "the labOr-union scape-
goat, and asserting that the whole
history of the trades unions of the
nation, their bloody strikes and muir
deroUs attacks on 'scabs, shows that
the entire mass is permeated by the
leaven of the same spirit"
The following statements are also
made:
