Excerpt from How to Fill the Pews The church ought to be filled at the right time, and permanently, with desirable people. It can be so filled if church officers and the pastor will follow the suggestions contained in this book. This is not intended to be a gilded literary production. It has many earmarks of the literary novice. Yet it has a message that is needed by the officers of almost every church. Every church needs to know "how to do things" that are necessary and proper to be done. One of these things is the getting of people into the pews at the proper time. If there is any more important thing to be done about a church, I have not learned of it. It is comparatively easy to fill a church. Christian F. Reisner, in "Church Publicity," shows how to advertise so as to attract the general crowd. His book deals with church attendance from that general angle. This book of mine has another and, I think, just as worthy ambition. While it is easy to fill a church, it is just as easy to empty it. Advertise something and fail to deliver that something, and your attendance will shrink immediately and permanently. "Deliver the goods," and sittings will be at a premium at every service. Proper method in the hands of experienced persons is a powerful agency for increasing church attendance. The same method in the hands of novices is dangerous and costly. Too many churches are looking to the preacher for their publicity work, when he ought to be released for other duties. We have entirely too many "one-man" churches, which suffer a rapid, certain, and often permanent slump, when that "one man" gives up his work or moves on to other fields.
