ODDSENDS
BY ROBERT O. SHEPARD
“Be not deceived, God is not
mocked, whatsoever a man
soweth, that shall he also reap."
YOU BE THE JUDGE
To stimulate and encourage
church attendance, a Methodist
church in Florida is giving trading
stamps to all persons attending its
Sunday services.
You are already saying, ‘for
shame, paying people to go to
church”, but before you pass judg
ment listen to this. In some areas of
Wisconsin, taverns reduce their
liquor prices during the Sunday
morning church hours.
The question: Is it proper for th*
church to offer "extra inducement*
io induce people to come to church
in view of the fact that the devil
is offering inducement* to keep
people from going to church?
