NAPLES DAILY NEWS Sept. 2, 1977 5D You Are Cordially Invited to Attend the Church of Your Choice Presbyterians Name Minister Of Music On September 1, Robert A. joined the staff of First Presbyterian Church as Minister of Music. Fritz is a native of Sebring, Florida and is completing his studies at Ohio State University for the Ph.D. degree.

The new Minister of Music earned his Bachlor's and Master's Degrees in Music Education at Florida State University, concentrating in trumpet and organ, and later studied organ in Belgium. He has taught in schools and colleges in Florida, Georgia and Ohio, and has played principal trumpet with the Florida State Symphony and Brevard Music Center Orchestra. Fritz has received several awards and scholarships, and belongs to various professional music and educational organizations, including the Presbyterian Association of Musicians. The choir and instrumental programs of the church will be under Fritz' supervision and direction. Bumper Sticker Evangelism Booms DENVER (UPI) Two citizen's band radio operators were driving on an interstate highway recently and one asked the other on his radio what he meant by the "I Found It" bumper sticker.

The driver with the bumper sticker offered to pull to the side of the road and explain but the other motorist said he didn't have time. However, a trucker going the other direction overheard the conversation on his CB and said he did have the time. The two met, the car driver explained that he has found Christ, the Biblical story of salvation was told, and the Christian said he "claimed another soul for Jesus Christ." Bumper stickers proclaiming religious messages have become common in the United States in recent years, but not all church leaders agree that this is a proper medium for religio sexpression.Some stickers bearing anti-Christian slogans have appeared. Liz Swanson, whose husband, Eric, is the director of the Campus Crusade for Christ at the University of Colorado in Boulder, said she was "very" disappointed when she saw a young man with an "I Lost It" sticker on his car. "I felt sorry for him," she said.

"It made me want to talk to him." Still other stickers appeared in the past year saying "I Can't Find It" or carrying the Star of David with "I Never Lost It." The "I Found It" stickers were a part of the "'Here's Life, America" campaign organized Pick it up Lay it down When you're ready It's still around. Naples Daily News last summer by the Campus Crusade and its national president, Dr. Bill Bright, headquartered in San Bernadino, Calif. While enormous success was claimed by the organizers, several theologians believe it started a trend toward bumper sticker evangelism that has reduced the dignity of the deity. Don Wellman, pastor of Denver's First Church of the Nazarene, has hundreds of parishoners with bumper stickers on their cars.

But he said the stickers were becoming too commercialized. "Cristianity is such an important life changing ex- Church Founder Dies in Indiana Rev.

The sellers have almost prostituted that use." Wellman said he was "not afraid of polarization if the issue is worthwhile." "That is not as much of a problem as the dignity of God," he said. "The bumper sticker advertising degenerated to the point that the dignity is lost." He may have been referring to such stickers as "The Rapture The Only Way to Fly," "This is a God squad car" or "Life Insurance Try the Jesus Christ Plan." All are steady sellers at religious book stores. "The most popular are those dealing with the rapture," said Mary Still, manager of one of the five Bible Book Stores in metropolitan Denver. "Bumper stickers have been a really steady selling item for the last four years." (The rapture, according to Christian theology, is the time when God claims his followers, both the living and the. dead, and calls them into Heaven, leaving unbelievers on earth.)
