Church Plays for Mission Funds

By Editor

The following question appears in the Christian Advocate (New York):—
"In a certain Methodist Church, by the minister's consent and procurement, a play was enacted in the church for the benefit of the Missionary Society. Is this right and helpful to the cause of missions?"
And we are glad to be able to present the following answer by the Advocate:—
"It is wrong, disgraceful, and destructive to the missionary spirit. The way to get money for the cause of missions is to present it intelligently to the people; to use practical means; to see that an application is made to every person, and leave the result to their hearts and consciences."
