RATURDAY
Pastor Receives Frank Opinions 0f Sermons
NEW JERSEY. Jan. 11- Rev. Charles Brackbill. 30-year-old pas- tor of Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church. Elizabeth. N.J., took a rather daring initiative last Sun- day by handing adult members of his congregation is printed ques- tionnaire and urged them to tell him with "ruthless honesty" what they thought. of his sermons. some of them did.
01' sixty parishioners who filled in the list of thirty-eight. ques- tions in per i-rut said they had not understood -s-hat the sermons were about. Twenty per cent said the sermons were too long.
Thirty-eight persons said Mr Brackbill was "convincing" five said he talked too fast. four that he talked too slow. and after th- ouestion: "Are there disturbing mannerisms?" One member of the congregation wrote. "Yes - chin pulling."
Forty-four said they tried to change their ways after hearing a sermon. Only ten said they made no attempt to practice what. was prrnchcd.
Other sample oiiesllons and re- plies by the parishioners follow:
'should .1 sermon be about mod-p crn times mid living?" Yes. thirty-J loin: no. iiinciccn. .
"Do sermons make you think?" Yes. fiftv-loiir: no. three.
"Would you like to stand up somc time to take issue or ask a ones- tion about what is being said?”
Yes twciui-six: no. TWPHY)-lllll9
”Ts the voice; Graveyard, Slllll-. s.-mg. moiioirnr. bclligercnt. harsh: . . . does it fit the subicct niattcr'l" Forty-three pcrsoiis thought M' l'3ra.cIrbill's fitted the siiblect mat- ter: two ans-sercd ”gravevard:" two said "licllirzcrcnt" Mr. Brack- bill told an liiterviewcr that his un- usual survey was to find out whe- ther the message contained in a sermon really "gets across” to rhiirchizocrs.
'Thcro are upwards of 6.tl00.00tl sermons pi-cachcrl every Sunday in the United States and Canada." he said. "The bl: question is: "What comes from all of this?" It is be- coming iiicreasinizly difficult to fashion the ancient. art of preach- ing into something practical and woith while.
One of the reasons is the com- petition offcrod by radio. television and other media which tend to pre-digest cvervthlnz for the pub- lic. As a result. today's sermon must talk cold turkey. You can no longer scare people into religion or out of false ideas.
Most. ministers havenlt had any coristriictive criticism since they were graduated from their semin- cry. We go on prcachiniz year af- ter ycar thinking we are getting our point across ”I think some of us are kidding ourselves."

Further. the resolution demand- ed that only one half of the value of any gift from a husband to his viife be subject to gift tax; and that a woman's income from her husband's estate not be reduced by succession duties to yield less than s3,000 a year at the current rate. of interest paid on bonds.
