CHILLY" SUNDAY ON "HoW TO

Evangelist William A. Sunday has
given the following excellent rules on
how to break up a church. He says:
Don't ever come to church on time:
you may shock the pastor. Don't sit
in the front pews; they look better
empty Don't give anything to the
pastors salary; he can live on air.
Don't ever attend prayer meeting. or,
II you should, never take part Don't
ever sing In church; it interrupts the
sleepers. Don't smile; wear a long
face; you viii win so many more souls
to God. Don't bring any one with
you to church: that's not the style.
You know. Don't help or encourage
the pastor; you pay him to do all the
work. Don't do anything for the
church except what you want 70 do.
Don't ever break a theater or card
game engagement for a prayer meet.
