PUBLISHING CHURCH NOTICES. Editor Crane, of the Middlebury, (Vt.), Register, in a recent issue of his paper printed a three-column editorial making clear to his readers his stand with reference to the loss involved in printing church notices free. Since practically every weekly and njany daily newspapers have for ages experienced similar loss, Editor Crane’s experience and conflict with the Middlebury pastors will be of interest. The introduction • of the lengthy editorial reads: “The publication of Middlebury church notices in the Register will be discontinued this week owing to the expense and the difficulty of properly presenting them fairly to all concerned.” Dissatisfaction was expressed by the churches of Middlebury, to which the Register’s retort is: “If the churches are not interested in "the matter of their own publicity to the extent of at least meeting some of the expense of it, the Register cannot, in view of business conditions, take the whole burden upon itself.” After enumerating the various annoyances of delay in submitting copy, criticism of partiality shown, and various other things resulting from the printing of church notices free, Editor Crane makes this welltaken stand bearing out his contention : “If we may be pardoned in choosing a current instance, we would cite the fact that at this moment the Congregational church is having painted a large sign which is to be affixed to its imposing edifice to indicate to passersby the name of the church, the hours of" service, the name of the pastor and its cordial welcome to those who are attracted in the reading of the sign. So far as we know this sign is being ordered in a regular business way and, being paid for by the church. The sign contains practically the same announcement as is made in the Register week after week and year after year. It is in one case proper ! to pay for it, and in another improper from the pastor’s viewpoint.” i
