10 SOLVE PUZZLE
Pittsburg, Dec. 4.—Crossword
puzzle enthusiasts flocked to the
Knoxville Baptist church recent
ly where the Rev. George F. Mc
Elvein, the pastor, before launch
ing into his sermon, let his con
gregation solve one of the famil
iar spaced squares, which con
cealed the words of his text.
The puzzle, containing 144
Spaces, was displayed on a large
blackboard in the front of the au
ditorium, printed copies of the
definitions were distributed among
the pews and the congregation
was invited to fill in the spaces.
Many Experts Attend.
Fifteen minutes was alloted for
solution, and as many experts had
been attracted by the announce
ment of the novel feature, all the
needed 95 words were called out
from the pews within the time set.
It then was pointed out that the
complete puzdle contained the
words from Proverbs i 10, which
the minister used as the theme for*
his sermon, u My son, if sinners
entice thee, consent thou not. ft
The Rev. Mr. McElvein’s ser
mon was an arraignment of those
persons who, for their own profit,
ensnare the young and impression
able in evil ways and a plea to
the tempted to stiffen resistance.
Defends Use of Puzzle.
The minister said he believed
this use of the cross word puzzle
to be an innovatidn in Bible study
and he did not believe it needed
any defense.
Speaking of his reason for
adopting the puzzle as a stimulus
to church attendance, he said:
*4 Wherever we go we see a
puzzle. Folks traveling back and
forth on the train find it a source
of great pleasure. If it is so pop
ular, why not find a use for it
ing the church programs? This
is a novel, but I believe highly
instructive, Bible drill
many of the words Chosen have
a Biblical background.” .
