In response to a discussion ot the pKght
of preachers and churches, the Reidsville
i Review received a letter'from one of’its
readers who approves the paper's stand and
adds: “Whilfe the church is being backed
up against the wall during these times
and is fighting a grim battle, it is succeed
ing, as an institution, far and away better
than others.”
The reader cites what he terms the ap
proximate figures to prove his statement.
One out of-every 20 banks have closed, he
says. One* out of every 200 schools have
shut up. But only one church out of 2,000
I has fallen by the wayside.
“It is a high compliment to the preach-
1 er and to his church,” Says the Review,
“that it remains open even though in some
cases payments have ceased, and in many
instances salaries have been greatly re
