SWEET MELODY FLOUR.
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1907-09-25
Motive in Church Going.

The conception of church service
as an occasion for promoting the I'm
terchange of social courtesies is very
prevalent, although it certainly
places on low level the whole idea
of the motive of church attendance
and of public worship, says the I'm
iontown News Standard 1t is based
on the theory that the church is
social club and that in attending its
services one has right to keep in
view how he may be received and
treated by its members. Should one
allow his church going to be influenc-
ed by the social attention or lack of
it which is fshown by him by those
who compose the congregation?
1t was evidently this social side of
the question that recently led the
Ladies Home Journal to send
woman on an experimental tour
through the churches in New York
city. and to publish the results of her
experience. Her reception in some
churches was cordial. in others chill
ly, and her personal treatment form
ed the basis of her judgment of the
church services.
This incident leads the New York
Outlook to indulge in some well de-
served criticism relative TO the mo-
tive of church attendance, and diff
ference between the desire to wor-
ship and that of seeing how you are
going to be treated by others in at
tendance 1t thinks that if the
Home. Journals woman had gone to
church to hear the truth. if she had
gone to worship God. she would not
have been greatly concerned wheth-
err she was warmly or coldly receives
ed She did not go to listen or to
worship. She Went to see whether
people would pay attention TO her
old clothes. Would not most re-
spectacle poor people spurn as an in
trusion and an impertinence any ac-
ton based on the assumption that
they go to church for the purpose OF
securing attention? Is 1t proved, in
deed, by this test that any poor
woman who should go to any of
these churches to ask plainly for as
sistance would not receive 1t?
The Outlook concludes that the
only way by which American Protest
ant churches can justly declare that
such criticism as is involved in this
journalistic visitation Is undeserved
will be by making clear that their
purpose is not to provide social en-
tertainment of any kind through
their religious services. but rather
to give to the community and to all
who desire 1t the opportunity for
hearing the truth and for worship
Ing the Eternal.
And while this is true. and while
the churches should emphasize wor-
ship rather than social considera-
tions as the chief purpose of as.
sembling together. they could in
crease their hold upon the masses
and strengthen their influence for
good by showing themselves more
friendly and by extending warmer
welcome TO all who come. regardless
of the kind OF clothes they wear or
the social circle in which they move.

The Jewish outlook., 1907-11-22

1t is custom that we trust will be
largely followed by all classes; for
there are but few who have the cour-
age to encounter the suspicion that
they can find better use for their mon
ey than in buying sets of silver spoons,
forks, etc.
Undoubtedly there are weddings
when sentiment, affection and inter
est induces the giver to make the gift
something permanent and of intrinsic
value; but it should only be considered
acceptable from those nearest and
dearest to us, while others should con-
tent themselves with sending flowers.
which are always sweet and lovely.
There is no sense in two young per-
sons expecting that their friends
should furnish their homes for them
with luxurious appurtenances; that
they should brighten their table with
silver and glass, hang pictures on
their walls, place bronzes upon their
mantelpieces, or fill their portfolios
with costly books and engravings.
These expectations have reached
such pass in our day, that they have
set common decency at defiance: and
people have been told what articles
they were expected to present, be-
cause they themselves, or sons or
daughters, had received such and such
gifts at the hands of their friends.

point out the mean ugliness of an
other.
Aristides, the Just, no doubt would
have counseled better things. but Gre
clan human nature did not differ so
very widely from the human nature
which is now in existence.
We appreciate the sentiment which
enshrines the gift and makes it costly.
And as far as wedding gifts are the
spontaneous offering of the heart, they
are to be highly praised: but where the
expense of silver, jewelry, pictures.
etc, can be lily afforded, they are
nothing but nuisance, and we desire
to commend the practice which is rap
idly gaining favor among the richest
circles in American circles, of en-
craving words, ''No presents re-
ceived," upon the invitation to the,
wedding ceremony.
Some of the most magnificent we'd
dings lately celebrated have been con-
Quoted in this way. The principals had
seen that the custom had become an
imposition, and desired to be the first
to put it away.

Wedding Gifts

The practice of Offering presents to
those who are entering upon an agree
ment ''for better or for worse, for
richer or poorer, for sickness or in
health,' dates back to period when
mutual friends offered articles that
would go far toward making the
housekeeping of the newly welded
more comfortable than it could 9TH
erwise have been.
This was doubtless the origin of
wedding gifts, but Grecian annals tell
us that, in their time, it had become
an occasion for gorgeous display; and
we read of vessels of gold and silver.

for all these gifts were displayed for

If you have friend worth loving,
Love him. Yes, and let him know
That you love him. ere life's evening
Tinge his brow with sunsets glow.
Why should good words ne 'er be said
OF a friend-till he is dead!
If you hear song that thrills you,
Sung by any child of song.
Praise it. Do not let the singer
Wait deserved praises long.
Why should one who thrills your heart
Lack the joy you may impart!

From IA brothers. weeping eyes.

Own your kinship with the skies

When brothers heart is sad!
