JUST A SUGGESTION 1 t Wouldn't it be a good idea to have a eouple of pillars erected on the main road abreast of the Wildwood en- [ tifance, specifying the way to Cape May and thereby informing tourist that this resort was on the map. The entrance to Wildwood really is • inviting to the eyes of the visitor and Cape Miay's entrance has nothing whatsoever to show that there is another resort farther on. This is some thought for the Board j of Trade to .get busy on. COMMUNICATION Dear Editor: — I was interested in the article which appeared in your paper January 22, 1921, under the caption "Church Attendance." Since thearticle contained! several questions without an affirma- j several questions wiinoui an ainima-

tive or negative reply, I have taken . the liberty to supply answers for , these interrogations. First we must grant that Church ■ g attendance is not what it was two . years ago in many places, though this . v is not true of every instance, and I believe the condition has not grown worse during the last year. But is this condition to be accounted j ^ for in the following questions? "Have men as thinkers lost faith in j Christianity and concluded that it has i not brought conditions expected of • c At 7" "Have men cut loose from the j moorings of their fathers and set out , to investigate on lines of analytical ( thought, which have finally brougnt . them to eschew the faith once deliv- ! c «red to the saints?" The above questions do not suggest j ; the cause of the present conditions. ; As far as investigating Christianity. : along the lines of analytical thought j .is concerned, this has been done and ; la being done by Christian scholars . and representatives of the church who I liave formed our creeds, they have] been so expert that the average per- 1 ; son will find it difficult to improve i on their conclusions. There is abundaneeo of evidence to , 1 prove that men have not lost faith in • Christianity or cut loose from the moorings of their fathers. People are giving more money to- j day for the propagation of Christian- j ity than ever before. The members of the Methodist -Episcopal Church in the year of 1919, subscribed $108,000,- j 000 for Missionary purposes at home and abroad on a basis of a five year , program. During the last year the ' same denomination has made a net gain in its membership cf 183.000, and has sent to foreign lands 275 new missionaries, which is without precedent in the history of this church. | The local Methodist Church which j s- I serve as pastor has no difficulty ir. finding members who gladtv furnish j it with the necessary money for its i budget, repairs, missionary and charitable purposes. Other denominations are zealous in | raising money for kingdom purposes ! and in extending the cause of Chris- I tianity. People of today in their last I hours are as anxious to have the I helps and assurances of Christianity as anytime, in the part of my minis- J try, which covers 15 years.. These facts with many more which < might be mentioned would not indi- j cate that men have lost faith in ' Christianity or eschewed the faith once delivered to the Saints. I think the first three questions of your article contain the germ that has produced the trouble. Pleasure — I This is a pleasure mad age and some are willing to sacrifice anything to the god of pleasure. War — History teaches us that war has always broken into the religious habits of the people, both those who participate and those who remain at home. The slump in church attendance was simultaneous with the war. Indifference — The greater of the three is religious indifference, this does not mean-antagonism. There is probably less antagonism to Christianity today than ever before. It means apathy and self-complacency. And then a modern practice has developed which affects church attend-

ance. A few years ago » consistent I church members attended both services on the Sabbath, today many such satisfied in attending one service. practice cuts down attendance J when compared with the past. < "How shall they be brought bade?" < Answer: Let people remember their i vows to the church and their obliga- 1 ; tions to God and use their feet and go i regularly to the house of God eacn i GEORGE T. H1LLMAN, i Pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Cape May, N. J., Jan. 25, 1921. ' Y. M. C. A. CONVENTION Newark, N.
