 The discussion evolved out of a statement made at the laymen's corl- ference of the Baptist church last week. One layman stated khe reas- on why men did not attend church was because the pastors were net big enough for the job ami did not give the men anything worth while. ts :

most men are to1 absorbed in busi- ness to have any time left to eulti- vate the religious sile of ther na- lures.
 The second reason was nlat af CT a weeks hard toll men were too tired and 'Szy to attend servfees Or to show interest in their divine welfare. Thirdly the men agreed the high cost Of living hinderel them from .t end ns church. Men held the church in dread because i. was anothe- drain urLn the.T Dockethooks
 Also man is begMaing 10 t,1ink for himself and refuses to accept the die tum Of anCthcr. In this .he grows im- patient of he demands of the 5hurch upon him to f0llHW 2 certain kind of belief md fe. Again, preachers do not preach he Bible. but are tempted to discass politics, ethics a8d ltara- tufe, and the average man goes ta church to ie2rn some hing of the-4oly book.
 Dr. Nsbet's foremost reason was that an ever incre sing number of men were deprived cf the opportunity of aiten'3ing church. Other reasons were that Sunday Was day in the r"es2nf age, of business and pleas ure. '
 In support of h sta emcnt Dr. Nisbet S id nearly every real estate man dsed Sunday as day fer show ing property, and every amusemen- place ran wide open. The average man would rather go to amusement places, he said. Furthermore, busi- ness has crowded religion absolutely cut of mans life. Tw
 In defense, the doctor said: "The church should no expect popularity. Christ did not holl the popular crowd when He talked 0 the people. In spite of this fact, the church cannot com promise it's mess ge anl must stand against the tide
