A non-denominational “Support
the Church’’ movement designed to
stimulate interest in church activi
ties and increase the church at
tendance starts this week in the
Butler Herald.
This program, prepared by a
special service bureau, is being
used regularly in hundreds of daily
and weekly newspapers from coast
to coast, and has been running
for from two to ten years continu
ously in many of these papers.
The theme of the campaign is
kept on a non-denominational bas
is so that it carries a message
suitable for all faiths.
Taylor county merchants and
business firms who are cooperating
in the sponsorship of the timely,
beautifully written messages feel
that they will serve a definite pur
pose in reminding the citizens of
this county of the necessity of
strong churches.
Support of the churches is sound
business in any community. It does
not take an oracle to note the sta
bility of a community with strong
active churches.
The “Support the Church” fea
ture will appear in these columns
for the next few weeks—probably
indefinitely. This program has prov
en quite popular in many communi
ties throughout America.
Merchants and business firms
who cooperated in making this
