The forthcoming returns. it was ex-
planned, may be taken as refutation OF
the charges that the world war proved
the co-called failure of Christianity.
This claim was made very generally
during the war not only in the United
states but throughout Europe. Since
the armistice the charge has BEEN re-
peated. based on an alleged materialism
said to be in vogue throughout the
world. In proof is often cited the in
crease in divorces since the war, the So
called immodesty of womens fashions.
the use of tobacco by women, and SO on.
The ministers of the United States are
conducting a winning. not losing. bat
tie. according to DR.. Watson, in their
struggle to make the nation more spirit
TALLY minded and devout.
What are popularity referred TO as
new styles" I'm evangelical methods are
credited with the victory by some re-
ligious leaders. The new styles" how
ever, are a matter of controversy in
many church circles. They include the
drafting by the church OF bowling,
games, social activities, gymnasiums.
swimming pools and the like. These
are referred to as institutional methods
OF evangelism based on the idea that to
convert one to religious thought 1t is
first necessary to employ q device TO
gain attention. Many ministers hold
that such methods should not be EN-
p,oyed by churches.
Advertising in newspapers, on bill
boards and even in theater programs
is another device used by some churches
which are under fire. Acceptance of
this method has become more general
than that of the other forms of winning
attention. In the newspapers OF prac-
tically all large cities the Saturday is

tees or advertisements. Some news
papers make the regular advertising
charge for the insertion of these notices.
Others accept them at a reduced rate.
A few newspapers publish the notices
without any charge whatever.
In Cleveland just before the war a
Methodist minister was much criticized
because of methods used In attracting
an audience. This minister made tour
OF hotels and restaurants on New Years
eve and then preached sermon de-
scrlbing his Impressions. This was be-
fore national prohibition. Crowds were
turned away from this church the night
on which the minister described his tour.
Thereafter this minister made a series
