all over the land. In some
instances churches are demoraliZed In
summer and winter. Folks going out OF
the city to escape the heat, and going
south to fly from the cold, leave behind
them vacant places In the sanctuary
and too often shrnkage In current
expense funds, owing to the neglect
Of tho absentees TO pay their dues. This
is, however. not the serious part of the
case. II is only n comparatively small

ratio, indeed, take them all together

siderable time. Hosts of men and wo-
men In Offices, stores and manufacture
ing establishments count themselves

But the countless thousands, who stay
at home all the year, when the heated
term begins drop out from attendance
at church. They stay at home on sun
day, or take the day as a time OF out
ing or occupy 1t as a time for lounglng
and idle reading. Meanwhile they lose

whose best interests their fealty has

overdcne the picture. We have des-
cribed what is literally true of multi

land. And the chief excuse given for
the current neglect Is the languor, the
