GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY
Country Needs Good Citizens. Good
Christians Make Good Citizens
I was Daniel Webster who said, Whatever makes men
\ good Christians makes men good citizens"

4 WAS Ddnlel WeDSUer VINO Sal0, Whatever mdhes m0h
\ good Christians makes men good citizens"
If ever there was a time when this country needed
good citizens it is now. There is no better way to make
a good Christian and a good citizen than to exploit the
GO TO CHURCH movement. Talk it up wherever you
go. Every time you GO TO CHURCH try to get some
one to go with you. If you have a friend who is derelct
in his religious duty plead with him. Reason with him.
Point out to him that it is his duty as an American cti-
zen to GO TO CHURCH.
1t often has been said that, next to the church, the
newspapers are the most powerful agents for good. Many
newspapers have taken up the go to church slogan. News
papers, like the churc hes, are interested in the general
welfare of the people. Hundreds of thousands of
persons who seldom went to church now go every Sunday
as a result Of the splendid publicity campaign that has
been waged. There is no denying this wonderful 90 to
church movement. 1t Is getting on tremendously. 1t is
confined to no artcular sect or creed. The churches of all
denominations have been benefited.
Now that the GO TO CHURCH movement is in full
swing, keep it going. Don't cease in your efforts. Crowd
the churches. If there isn't enough room build more ed
ifces. Remember the words of Webster that whatever
makes men good Chris tiam makes them good citizens"
This country wants good citizens. Today it is more
than ever the country OF promise.
Never let an opport unity go by to sing the praise of
the GO TO CHURCH movement.
