For the purpose of this chapter, "public solicitation" means the act of soliciting from the public through solicitors, money, donations, property or financial assistance of any kind, including selling or offering to sell an article, service, publication, advertisement, ticket, or subscription of any kind, including the selling of any publication or advertisement, for the same, when the publication is printed less frequently than quarterly, or the direct or implied plea that the solicitation or sale is for charitable, educational, fraternal, civic, patriotic, religious or philanthropic purposes; on the streets, in buildings, or by house-to-house canvass or in any public place. "Public solicitation" shall not include a solicitation by any established religious body which secures all of its funds from its own local members and constituents and not from the public through solicitation by solicitors.
