The Mellette County pioneer. [volume] (Wood, Mellette County, S.D.) 19??-1971, 1923-02-02

THE title of this article ought to
Il convey greater truth than per-
haps the space will permit me to
express.
We are speaking Of churches that
have lost their church position,
have become cheap, second rate,
inefficient, and have dropped into
the rut of the cheapness of the
world to get the attention of man.
The church that has to make itself
cheap III any way to induce people
to attend its services has lost its
ChurchneSs and the cheaper If
makes itself the more Disguised
people become and the less they at
tend it.
Take the publicity of some OF the
ministers. The very titles Of their
sermons are disgusting. They do
0 know how to write the adver-
tisement. They do not know how
to put a title to their sermons.
The titles do not convey the sub
ject matter Of their would-be dis
courses, consequently, the titles are
frauds, the advertisements are
fakes, and the church becomes
cheap ard loses its c~hurchness.
The church constantly bragg
ging, threatening, coaxing, begging,
pleading, advertising. has reached
the low level OF the cheap, vulgar
world. The slang and loose Lam
guagc often heard from the pulpit
as well as seen in the ADVERTISE
mentS cheaper the church.
The man who says that the pub
lie would rather sing jazz than
hymns has libcled the public, per-
jured himself for the purpose of
%cheapering the church. People
want to hear the hymns. They
want to sing the hymns. They
want a digrlhed service, They
want the gospel. They want the
church to come back into her
- take her d~igniheG place.
n re is nc subject or earth that
!" 'old the people like the doc
trlne OF the vicarious atonement,
the. biool of Tesus Christ, the only
reais Of salvation. God save the
churchless ;hlrc',ss of the country.
