CHURCH ADVERTISES VIRTUES.

'No Dancers or Card Players Here,' a Sign Pointed Out.

If rivalry develops among the churches of Kansas City over the members to be derived from the Billy Sunday revival, there is one congregation that will be able to cope with the others by its unique means of advertising.

The Beacon Hill congregational church, at Twenty-fourth street and Troost avenue, has a large blackboard in the corner of the church yard in which both pedestrians and those who ride on the street cars may read the notices of meetings and other church bulletin items. Passers on the cars read on this board early this week the following placard:
NO
Dancers
Card players
Theater goers
Tobacco users
Beer drinkers
HERE


The sign was changed yesterday and this one took its place:

We are the happiest people in the city.
Saved
Singing
Satisfied
