Many years ago, group OF COM
mercial travellers called ''The Gideons"
organized a movement for placing
copies Of the Scriptures in the guest
rooms of hotels. 1t was from the start
a very real missionary enterprise, and
has been productive of excellent re
suits.
One of New York's leading hotel
men, the owner of number of big es-
adjustments, announced a few days
ago his purpose of going even step
further. Observation during many
years of experience has impressed him
with the fact that strangers who put
up at hotels in our big cities are at a
disadvantage as far as church-going is
concerned. He has, therefore, decided
to erect, in each of his large establish
ments, a chapel as place where his
guests may worship. ''If the patron
will not go to church." he urges, I'VE
.hou bring the church to him.
