The Nationwide "Go to Church
Movement, which is considered by
it's founders as the greatest and
most comprehensive go to
Church" appeal ever made to the
American people, will continue un-
til every person in the country has
had the opportunity to participate.
While primarily inspired as a
means of making the general pub
lie more church-conscious and in
creasing church attendance, the
movement incidentally represents
great potential source of revenue
for all churches participating. It
also serves to bring revenue to
ministers retirement or pension
funds, missionary and extension
societies or other denominational
funds of which the public seldom.
hears about.
The United GO to Church
Movement was conceived by a
group of public-spirited men, head
ed by Clyde L. Newnom, of Lans-
ing, Michigan, who have given lib
orally of their time and money to
ensure the success of the Move
ment until the time when it is hop
ed it will be self-supporting.
"The launching of the campaign
simultaneously by churches thru
out the country" said Mr.. New
nom, "is expected to electrify the
nation in its suddenness and signi-
ficance, and effect a dramatic re-
awakening of the people to the i'm
portance of the church in our civil
ization. For it must be admitted
that changes in the manners of
living during the last generation
have resulted in the church re-
ceiving less of the peoples time
and thought than it has reason to
expect.
"a generation ago when life was
more leisurely, people sought
church environment for several
reasons: for spiritual advancement;
for moral effect; for diversion.
Counter influences were negligible.
Except for the annual vacation and
the occasional excursion, people
seldom left their own communi-
ties. The church, besides being a
place for religious services, was al
so the social and intellectual CEN
ter, and the pastor had no diff
Guilty in keeping in constant asso-
citation with the church members.
Then came the automobile
and the habits of a nation were
changed in breath-taking time. The
urge to travel developed, inspiring
the building of a network of pave
ments and removing the community
isolation hitherto prevailing. Small
er towns automatically became SUI
burbs of larger cities. Fast travel
encouraged millions of city men
to live in nearby small towns with
out interference to their businesses;
and, by the SAME agency, the popu-
lations Of the smaller towns and
rural communities were given easy
access to the lure of big city re-
creational facilities. Thus, there
came an intermingling of peoples
and wholesale fraternizing of
widely different personalities. Com
parative contentment gave way to
a riot Of restlessness.
Ease Of transportation gave OPP
portunity for the constant church
goer of the small towns and rural
communities to visit friends and
relatives in distant cities. It gave
the urban population easy access to
the great open spaces of the coun-

| try. It helped develop the golf
course as popular instrument of
diversion. Coincident with the
motor car came the movie. in
creasing the number of theater-
goers a thousandfold-both daily
and Sunday. And more recently
has come the radio, which-while
not taking people away from their
i hones-is certainly not sending
them to church. To the foregoing
may be noted the stupendous in
crease of country club membership,
to the increased attendance at
dance halls, and to the various so
cial reactions which followed in the
wake of the late world war.
"Staccato-like in its tempo, life
in general today is diametrically
opposed to the well-ordered placid
ity of church environment. Dras-
tic social upheavals have been so
pronounced as to not only change
the manners of living but the tenn
permanent of a nation. And the
pace of change has been so terrific
that the church has been unable to
keep in step.
"Well established, thoroughly or
ganized and amply financed, those
institutions which provide for en-
tertainment complete for that part
of persons time which formerly
was given to the church. And the
competition is of that character
and persistency which the church
has not been able to meet. It is
conservatively estimated that two
billions of dollars are spent annual
ly on organized amusements; and,
with such revenue to be earned, it
is unthinkable that organized
amusement will leave any stone un-
turned to maintain it's position.
With but limited time left from
their working and sleeping hours,
men and women spend it in the
manner most actively suggested.
The church receives less considera-
tion that it is fundamentally en-
titled to because it is unable to
meet the competition of organized
entertainment. This is because in
tensive advertising has not been
considered consistent with religious
ethics, also because there has been
no organized movement by the re-
ligious structure as whole to pro-
mote church attendance. And,
most important of all, no financial
appropriation! Until this United
Go to Church Movement was con-
ceived, any promotional activities
by the individual church and its
denomination relied upon the eff
forts of its own personnel.
Lack of religious observance
tends to create heedlessness of or
ganized law and order, a condition
which directly breeds general toler-
ance of out-and-out lawlessness. Let
the public become more church.
conscious and it will become more
respectful of the law and more like
ly to display martial resentment
against the growing wave, of crime
now sweeping the country.
"We hasten to correct any pos
sible inference of pessimism. It is
our firm belief that the minds of
men and women are just as clean
today as generation ago. It is
not lack of reverence that accounts
for Diminishing church attendance,
but heedlessness as to ones relig-
ious duties and a natural reaction
to the influences of modern envir-
