 Following a plan adopted in many places all over the country, including such large cities as Chicago and Bos- ton, the Federation of churches and the local pastors have arranged for a Stafford Go. Church Sunday. The idea is that every person who is in any degree connected with any church should make a determined effort to be there that day, and that all who are not connected with any church should go somewhere on at least this one Sunday. A committee on publicity has been appointed to arouse public interest in the matter, and asks the sympathy and cooperation of the townspeople in getting everybody to go to church Sunday, April 18th. Watch for advertisements to follow.
