Empty Pews.

The attendance at some Of our churches
on Sabbath evenings has become so very
limited, that the pastors have deemed 1t
necessary to call particular attention to
the empty pews and urge upon their var
ions members the importance Of properly
holding up their hands. 1t ia certainly dis
couraging to minister to preach to empty
pcws, aud his parishioners should realize
that it Is their duty to be present on all
possible occasions anG do their part by
example, If not by precept, to induce 9th.
ers to contribute their mite towards carry
ng out the p"ecepts Of the Go'psl. Wten
Q minister breaches Q good sermon he
should be encouraged by having many to
near and appreciate 1t. There in nothing
like good congregation to give the min
issAr life and energy, while small one
depresses his spirits, II it does not freezs
his very vitals. II the members wish the
congregations 20 increase, they must at
lend service regularly and hold up the
hands Of the preacher. II the members
will turn out and fill the pews, they will
SOON find that the minister has not tutlived
his usefulness and there is.no necessity 70
change to insure the prosperity OF the
church. Let the members do their duty
and they will soon realize that faults that
have been imputed to the peachor really
belong to themselves and they are respon
sible for the drawbacks which they pr Ifess
