"Why not have services in the club-houses for men who want to play golf Sunday morning?" suggested Mr. A. Lincoln Filene, prominent Boston merchant, in the course of a lecture on "Religion in Business" at Phillips Brooks House yesterday afternoon before a large audience.
Mr. Filene was pointing out the fact that the churches and the people were too prone to make religion a one day a week affair and forget about it the rest of the time. "The man who gets out and preaches on the banks of the Charles river to a crowd of several hundred canoeists out for a Sunday holiday is doing a lot more good than the man who preaches in an empty church."
