ministers preach Christ or do they en-

church thought more of its creed than
it has Of its Bible? These are pert

answer them satisfactorily the blame
must rest with the non-church goers.
1t would not be fair in an article of
this kind to refrain from asking an.
other question. Have the non-church
goers ever investigated the church
Have they intimated that they would
enjoy any kind of religious service?
Have they given the question any at
