Or. Peters Contrasts Their Church
laxity With Catholic Devotion.

DIR. Madison c. Peters, the emf
nent Baptist divine of New York, who
will give up his church in January
next and preach in a theatre, in a re-
cent sermon to the Baptist church of
the Epiphamey said
Catholics teach us the lesson of
regular and constant attendance upon
public worship. Protestants go when
the weather is just to their liking.
1t is high time that an umbrella was
invented that would protect he Pro-
testants from the rain on Sunday.
Who has not heard early on Sunday
morning the tramp, tramp, of the
people with a hard weeks work be-
hind them, and often days work be
fore them, while we are asleep, has
tening to the Catholic church?
THE Catholic puts his church first.
Seek to employ a Catholic, his first
inquiry is whether there is a church
handy. Catholics go to church to
worship; Professionals frequently to
hear an eloquent preacher. The devo-
tional element in too many of our
churches is lost sight of. The sermon
is everything. If that is not great,
eloquent, magnificent, the pews are
empty.
| have known many men and wo-
men who in lowly homes of poverty
sent up grateful prayers and praise
to God, were faithful to their church,
and give literally from their pittance,
but now that the humble home has
been exchanged for the costly man
sion and higher social ambitions they
have forsaken the God of their youth,
neglected the church and out of their
abundance, give little or nothing.
Catholics seldom ever in their pros
perity turn against their church.
"The rich Catholic hesitates not to
kneel by the side of the poorest There
is a real democracy in the Catholic
church in prayer before God. If there
is one place this side of heaven where
man and women ought to meet on a
common level, it ought to be in the
house of God.
"Protestants should learn from
Catholics how to give. Catholics are
generally door, Behold their churches.
Behold the earnings they lay upon
the altar of the church. Every Cath
Ollie is identified with some parish.
There are tens of thousands of Pro-
testants whose church membership is
in their trunks or in the place where
they used to live.
