Sunday Paper Debate at Kirk Street Church Meeting

The first winter meeting of the Kirk Street church Men's League debated whether the Sunday newspaper harms moral interests. A three-woman panel split in favor of the affirmative, praising the choir and pastor while noting humorous points about the paper as a mass of ads and entertainment. Speakers included Osborn Cilley and Frank W Hall for the affirmative and Orrin Wing and Arthur K Whitcomb for the negative. The discussion touched on the newspaper’s volume, and it was agreed it does not boost church attendance. A luncheon followed.
