MAKE RELIGION ATTRACTIVE
In a sermon at Fort Worth, Dr.
Frank Norris said:
Imagine the Apostle Peter being
asked to preach to some of our
churches after being diked out as a
modern clergyman fit for a funeral
or a wedding and given one of our
printed stereotyped programs that are
so well known to the world, the
flesh and devil—so much so that the
latter person never disturbs his con-
gregation any more—and the amen
corner deacon goes sound asleep as 1 ^
soon as the collection is over. I
confess that I had rather go to a
ball game than to such a religious
funeral conducted in the name of
religion. For this reason the First
Baptist ohurch has put on a great
stringed orchestra every Sunday ^
night. The devil hasn’t any right |
to the fiddle, the flute and the elari- i
net. There will never be one note of
music in hell, but the chief asset of ;
heaven will be the song of the re-
deemed. Some people are forever and
eternally denouncing everything 0' t-|
side of the church that inspires, en-
tertains and uplifts the soul of man,.’!
and offer instead “hark, from the;
tune of the dolesome man.” Make;
your church service attractive and j
your congregation will be numbered I
in four figures.
