+.Why They Go to Church. is the title
of poem by Rev. j. S. Boucher, in The
Workers, a church paper. which comes
to us from far-off Queen land. 1t seems
that people are just same on the
other side of the earth q Il ST. Paul and
other parts of America The poem is as
follows:
Some go to church Just for walk;
Some go to stare all laugh and talk;
Some go there to meet a friend;
Some their idle time to spend;
Some for general observation;
Some for private speculation;
Some to seek or find a lover:
Some friendship to discover;
Some go there to use their eyS:
And newest fashions criticise:
Some to show. their own smart dress;
Some their neighbors to assess;
Some to gossip, false and true;
Some hid within the Sheltering pew;
Some go there to please the squire;
Some his daughter to ADMIRE
Some the parson go to fawn;
Some to lounge, and some to yawn;
Some to claim the parish doIes;
Some for bread, and some for Goals;
Some because tbs thought genteel;
Some to vaunt their pieus zeal;
Some to show how sweet they sing;
Some how loud their voices ring;
Some the preacher go to hear;
His style, or voice to praise or jeer;
Some forgiveness to implore;
Some Their sins to varnish Ger;
Some to sit and doze and nod;
But few to kneel and worship God.
