est Importance 1t educates the heart,
will, and conscience as we'll as the intel
lect. 1t cultures the whole man il only
he will open his soul to seek the good it
offers him. A man must have something
better than the contents of the Sunday
paper to rest his body and mind and re-
fresh and furnish his soul for the battle
OF life, or he will never take the highest
rank among his fello VS. in this life. The
regular Church-goer gets one year in
seven of the best educational advantages
the world can give, the most liberal cul-
ture of mankind.
The most essential, practical benefit of
all is without doubt the moral sense and
stability of character which are the re-
suits of worship and religious conviction.
The chief thing after all in human life is
religion. If man is only superior ami
NAL he must above all else be moral
creature. The man that will not tell the
truth and do what he knows is right, is
lost even in this life. 1t is a simple mat
ter of fact that there is no true and wor.
thy success, humanity speaking, except
as man is righteous. The liar and the
thief cannot be trusted in the nature of
the case. The immoral man is not the
welcome guest and the bosom companion
of the honest and respectable citizen.
Men may try to confuse the social and
moral distinctions of this present life and
presume to talk and act as though q
drunkard or libertire is just as good
and just as worthy of confidence as a
man who is temperate and pure, but no.
body of ordinary discretion is deceived,
corruption wins not more than hon
esty," moral character is the only true
and abiding foundation of manhood,
religion is the sweetest, noblest element
of human life, and as st Paul declares,
"Godliness is profitable unto all things,
having promise Of the life that now is,
and of that which is to come"
have briefly mentioned some of the
practical benefits of cburch-going. / do
not say that a man may not be clean,
honest and even religious and not go to
Church. But what [ do say is that, other
conditions of life being equal, these prac-
tical benefits of church. going will GER
tainly help one to be purer, stronger,
wiser, and in every way a better man
than he can possibly be without them.
Putting the Church on the same level
with all the other institutions of men
which are the means of mutual benefit,
it pays to 60 to Church and to make the
most of it in every way.
And then, if the Church is really of so
great practical Importance. to one just
for this present fieeting life alone, what
must it be to one who believes it to be

nal salvation TO. o. Wright.

Practical Benefits of Church
going.
PAPER BY REV o. o. WRIGHT, READ Be
FORE PooTATUCK GRANGE.

Let us suppose for the sake of argu-
ment that there is no future life. Let us
suppose that the church Is only human
institution, and that religion naturally
grows out OF our weakness, Ignorance
and mortal fear. Still there must be a
best way of living this present life even
though death is the end of all. There is
q best way Of raising corn or potatoes,
there is a best way of raising pig,
sheep, COW, horse or any animal. There
Is best way of growing tree and Of
producing fruit on that tree. There is a
best way of doing anything in this pres
ent world, because everything is accord
ing to the laws of nature Of which we
are part. We are physical beings,
and as such are subject to the laws of the
material world. If we would lave
health and enjoy the pleasures of the
animal life we must live in obedience to
the laws of our physical nature. We are
social beings, and IL we expect to be
happy as such we must live In harmony
with our fellowmen. We have intel
lectual faculties and if we would enjoy
the exalted pleasures of knowledge, and
wisdom we must be willing to fulfil the
conditions of the intellectual life. And
so too we have moral, and religious
nature which must have its proper exer-
cises and satisfaction even in this present
whether or not there Is any life to come,
Religion may be delusion but none the
less it Is fact found everywhere in the
world and it is one of the most potent
factors of human life. The sense of
right and wrong may be mere matter
OF human prudence and personal selfish
ness but the fact remains the same that
we are subject to the moral law and that
society does not get on very we'll with
out conscience. Throw out religion1 If
you will and still the science of human
life demands our obedience to all these
laws Of our being, physical, social, intel
lectual, moral and religious.
Now the object of all our Christian
churches OF every name is to promote the
highest welfare Of all the people. Call
the church mere human institution il
you please, q mutual benefit association,
close corporation of selfish people
seeking their own good in this world
leave out God II you will and put in His
place the highest worldly success, the
greatest good of this life without regard
to any hereafter-and still / hold that
the most reasonable selhshness should
lead man to go to church for the sake
OF the Practical Benefits of Church
going.
A man should 90 to Church for the
sake Of his body. The body must have
rest. Rest is necessary to health and
continued strength. The bow that is
always bent loses its power soonest.
We must cease from labor. 1t Is a fun
damental law OF our nature. But It ia
not enough to cease from labor. The
proper rest is change of occupation.
