THURSDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1970 NUMBER 53 SUBSCRIPTION RATES $3.00/YEAR ■ OUT OF COUNTY $5.00/YEAR I DEAR MR. PUBLISHER, PARSON JONES Dear Mr. Publisher: A wise philosopher once said, "If Christmas be near, the New Year can't be far behind", ft's the season when the wisemen went to see Jesus, and we go to see our me mbers about money for the new year. The first group went bearing gifts, we go to get gifts. Our collections were down this year. The deacons held a special fact-finding committee meeting to find out why the drop-off. Some thought it was because the economy is in a bind right now. Others thought bad preaching might have something to do with it. I told 'em these things might have helped pish us in the hole, but the main problem was poor attendance. My brother runs a hamburger place, and he says when people don't show up to buy hamburgers he loses money And I’ve noticed when we've got a small crowd at church,v« a small amount in the collection plate. The de a c ons finally admitted that we got a bad attendance problem.Thatfs * the hose that's pulling the poverty cart. So, Mr. Publisher, we decided on a plan. In the past years we always sent out a report 4 times a year showing how much money people had give. This year we're gonna send out an attendance report 4 times a year. Instead of showing dollars and cents we're gonna show Sundays present and Sun - days absent. We'll probably print up little calendars and punch holes in the absent Sundays. That way when a fella gets a card that's so holey it looks like a fish net, it may shake him up. If there was just some way to get the government to give a tax break on chinch attendance we might get the 1095 mo ney everybody is reporting on their returns. Course I reckon a fellow who'd lie about his giving would lie about his at tendance too. Well, I gotta be signing off for now, and go see the doc tor. I been having these awful pains in the neck. Dr.Charge wright told me to come on over cause my workman's com pensation would cover it - seeing as how it happened on the job. See you Sunday in Church - your absence will leave a hole!
