1 AUU EXPLORER TO Cl RIGHTEOUSNESS BE BIG KIG SPEAKER WEEK TO BE OBSERVED

The “Preparedness” Worth While

Tomorrow is “Church Membership Day” in Indianapolis. That signifies that a special effort has been made by all the churches to increase church membership from those who are not now attached to the churches of the city. There are hundreds of men and women in Indianapolis who were once active church members “back home ” They have moved to the city and have lived here for years, but have failed to attach themselves to any local church. „ They have a friendly feeling for the church, but fail to recognize their responsibility for its growth and influence. A suspended church membership is as useless as a bank check uncashed. There are other hundreds of people in this city who have never belonged to any church. They would not care to live here without the church, but so far have failed to identify themselves with it. There is no denying the fact that the church is growing more popular with the people, because of its increased efficiency and usefulness.

Its appeal today is for men to join its forces for the good they may do to humanity through its channels. Men, women and children everywhere are reaching out for things which will help them, and they are finding in the church those things which they seek. Last year an army of 7,000 men and women united with the Protestant churches of the city. The large majority were adults. The pastors are seeking to win 10,000 people to the churches by Easter Sunday, who believe in the right kind of “Preparedness.” You who read these words may be among those who should constitute a part of this 10,000. Tomorrow will be a splendid time for you to take this allimportant step and identify yourself with the Church of God. Resurrect that old church letter. Or if it has been mislaid, present yourself tomorrow to some pastor with a statement of your membership and you will be gladly received. If you have just moved to Indianapolis, do not delay, but present your letter at once to one of the churches tomorrow. Tomorrow is the day to put yourself right with God and man. The Church Federation of Indianapolis C. S. Denny, President. Office Y. M. C. A. M. C. Pearson, Executive Secretary.
