Church Attendance Campaign
Is Warm, but Friendly
Contest.
The attendance campaign by
five of the local churches is
continuing to bring fine results.
The congregation totals have
increased, from some 250 up to
nearly a thousand, and this has
been maintained from the be-
ginning. The confusions and
misunderstandings which ac-
companied the work during the
first week have all passed away
and all have come to under-
stand the plan and its purpose,
and now the same good feeling
exists between the Blues and
Reds as does among the mem-
bers of either side.
The pastors and the workers,
as well as all participants, are
well pleased with the results of
the campaign thus far. The 12
leaders and their many faithful
assistants have been doing
faithful work and have en-
deavored throughout the
test to teach the great truth
that we all win if either should
come out behind in the count,
and the lay members have
demonstrated their ability to
do great good in support of
their pastors when they will so
to do. The pastors have ar-
Methodist Protestant.

AND SHALL WE-
AT THE CONVENTION?
Reds leading 15.
From these totals it will be
seen that 37 minus 8 plus 8
minus 35 minus 15 equals 13
Reds, their lead in all the
morning services. This sub-
tracted from 125, the campaign
lead of the Blues, leaves the
Blues 112 ahead to date.
The evening services, which
were rained out, tied, as is indi-
cated by the following totals:

the dog’s head was examined,

yet we are now witnessing the
sorry spectacle of the finger of
scorn and ridicule, being leveled
at a great and good act of a
Democratic Congress, which
would rescue the lives of little
children from the clutches of
the heartless industrialism and
set their feet in the ways of
normal growth and happiness.

and wholesale condemnation of
each and every act of the Dem-

him rather a candidate for an
early political grave than for
Governor of Texas. Possessing
absolutely nothing apparently
excepting a relentless hatred of
Mr. Wilson and his associates,
he formulates himself as a
mass of meaningless platitudes
and glittering generalities in
which is sounded the appeal to
every species of prejudice and
and discontent in our midst.

gations they have and are now
preaching to, and the non-
members have shown great en-
thusiasm and well meaning in-
terest in the services.
The Blues (Rustlers) stood
ahead 125 during last week.
But do not lose sight of the
fact that the prevailing colors
at all the churches were not all
blue, for the Reds led at some
of them, and at these the red
bow adorned the altar. The
color of the ribbon indicates the
leading side at the church and
for the single service where it
is displayed, and the moment
the count shows a change in re-
sults, the ribbon of the new
leader is displayed and remains
until the other side exceeds in
the count of any single service.
In last Sunday morning’s
services the Reds led by 13.
The incessant downpour of rain
during nearly all the afternoon
kept many away and services
were conducted at only three of
the churches, the attendance at
these being very
light.

The Hustlers hustled ahead
the lucky numebr.of 13 last
Sunday, but it will take about
113 more to take the count out
of the Blues. Come and help
us paint the Blues RED. We
must do this to get AHEAD.
We are very thankful and
overjoyed at the attendance,
although as the banker would
say we are in the Red 112.
We are Red if we win and
we are Red if we lose. Come
and help us make the Blues
have the blues.
