Three Eeasonns for Not Going to Church

l. can worship God without going to
church. Z But do you worship God at
homei Do you ever try? Did you ever
set apart an hour onthe Sabbsth for the
worship of God by your OWN freside !?
Have not many Sundays come and gone
when you have not once opened the
Bible? Have there not been roaDy Sab
baths wherein you have never bent your
knees in prayer? And do you call this
worshiping God at home? as rule,
those who do not. worship God in the
sanctuary do not worship him II all.
2. Iwork hard all the week, ard must
have Sunday for rest. You musl have it,
you say; but sho has given you leave
to use such language? Sunday is the
Lords day-rot yours. The lact that
you work hard for six days does not give
you any right TO sin away the seventh.
God intends that you should rest on Sun.
day; and the bodily refresbment which
you need vii, be far better secured by
going to church, morning and evening,
than by lettering away at home all the
hours fthe holy Sabbath.
8. My clothes are 80 shabby l am not
fit to appear at church. If you are so
poor, you have the greater need of the
gospel to comfort your heart. But many
are very poor because they have lived in
the neglect fpublic worship; and if you
would get rid Of the deep poverty, you
must first give up The practice which has
brought you to rags. Come to church,
receive the salvation which Christ offers,
and better habits will bring better
clothing. The poo1 man who gets a new
heart will not be long before he gets a
new coat. Matt. vi: SO.

DecsyIng Homesteads In the South.

a great many OF the plantations IN
different parts of the South, which were
once we'll known for...their size, the
magnifcence of the residences upon them,
the Hospitality of their owners, or on
account of the prominence ofthe families
which possess them, are now falling
into ruins. The reason for this is, perhaps,
that the land has been worked so long
without being fertilized that it has
become poor, or it may be that those into
whose possession it has passed lacked the
energy and skill which are required 10
make it pay under the present system of
labor. One ofthese famous old places,
inLiberty County,in this State, waa lately
sold to q colorea man for $1,000, only
part Of the purchase price being required
at once. It is. known as Laurel View,
and is within two miles Of the history
town Of Sunbury. 1t was once the home
Of the gifted John Elliott, aud a very
beautiful home it was. John Elliott
once represented Georgia in the United
States Senate, in 1920 to 1926. The
plantation contains $500 acres. 1t was
purchased during the war of secession
by Linton Stephens, and WAS sold to the
present owner by his heiss.
z The district in which the plantation
is situated was noted, from the FIRST
settlement of the State until the eman.
cipation of the alares, for The intelligent
and wealth of its citizens. 1t is now,
however, almost wholly abandoned to
the colored people. Its great plantations
have been divided into small farms, and
the superb mansions, once the homes of
men noted for wealth and culture, and
of women famous for beauty end re6ne-
ment, aref falling into decay. and are
being replacedsby cabins and nuts whose
chimneys of sticks and mud tell more
plainly than words the marvellous change
for worse which has taken place in The
once rich and prosperous district.-,a.
