Appeal From Ministers
The following signed appeal
from the pastors to the people was
issued:
Feeling .hat the place of the
church in the life of any COM
munity is no longer to be ques-
toned, and that no institution
should be of more value to the
life of the peole than the church,
and the foundations most worth
while are those which the church
is seeking to lay, by developing the
moral and spiritual natures of our
people, we the pastors of the
churches III Americas make the
following appeal to the citizens of
our city:
AS pastors of the churches of
your city, we feel that no more
serious. matters will face you than
the matter of church attendance.
We find that less than one-fifth of
the white population of our city
attended any service last Sunday.
We feel that in order for the
churches to really count for the
most, there must be regular
habit of church attendance.
For the above reasons, we have,
after consultation with our Off
cials, decided to make the month
of November a month of church at
tendance We call upon tn. church
members of the city to attend thei"
sarious churches regularly during
this month. We urge evGy indi-
vidual, whether a church member or
not, to attend the service If some
church, for the next four Sundays.
We trust that during the month
every person that can possibly do
so, will go to his church and wor-
ship with his brethren. Would it
not be a splendid thing for every
person to be in the house of wor-
ship at one of the services on the
Sabbath?
Assuring you of our very great
appreciation for the hearty re-
Spouse we feel tina twill be given
to this appeal, we are,
