ATTEND CHURCH.

It can not be denied that church
services develop the best there is IN
man. Church attendance suggests
cleanlinessin mind and body get
ting away from ones self, and to q
degree direct in the channels Of broth
erly kindness and charity; and we
often wonder why bright young men
well dressed and se1f-respecting young
men-can loaf about the shops and
street corners all Sunday morning.
while there are so many seats In the
churches. The greatest force today
in the world is, the church, and the
young man who leafs on the street on
Sundays, sneers at christianity, re-
viles the churches. while neglecting
or refusing to attend church services
shows lack OF something in his moral
makeup. Church Influences, church
teachings, are uplifting, church SER
vices, when not tedious, appeal to
man S better nature, while they are
often entertaining and instructive.
No young man in the town can offer a
good reason for not attending church
at least once Sunday; and
when young man bristles up at the
of it he should be reminded
that he is not half so brave as he
thinks he is.-Ex.

to have heard the story OF Gods low

than when this Southern Methodist

His own soul was SO irradiated by
his theme and the occasion that we
never once remembered the split be-
tween the two churches away back in
1874, and am led to suspect that the
conference authorities had sent us one
of it's most consecrated men and finest
pulpit orators that they possessed on
that occasion.
