 In every community there will be found the regular church attendants, the occasional and the non attendants. Among the two latter classes there is a considerable proportion of those who remain away through force of habit and not because of antipathy. Again, each one who remains away from ser vices is making it easier for his neighbor to do likewise. T will go if you will" operates in a most grati- flying manner. Coming nearer home, it may be said that the community benefits largely by the fact that it sustains church services within it's borders. It's benefits would be much greater if it's financial supporters gave to the church the moral support of their presence at the services. We hope never to see the time when the people shall be obliged by law to at- tend church, but we should like to see those who are in sympathy with church work, who enjoy and profit by B good sermon, going to meeting as as they attend to other du- ties. So mote it be.
