Big Day at Trinity

Trinity Methodist Church in Los Angeles found a new way to increase Sunday-school attendance last week: it got Hollywood Cowboy Roy Rogers to come and bring his clever blond horse Trigger.

Before Sunday school, in the street out side, Rogers mounted and put Trigger through some of his famous paces, e.g., bowing and hula-hula prancings. "This happens to be Trigger's first appearance in church," Rogers told the crowd of youngsters. "He should have started long ago . . . Here you learn how to love one another and mom and pop." He led Trigger into the church annex, posed for pictures (Trigger on haunches). After the horse had been led outside again, Rogers continued his remarks. "This is God's day," he said, "and I'm tickled to death to do things for Him." Attendance: 1,800 children and parents. Attendance the Sunday before: 1,400.
