lays down the rules of conduct In re

today.

And yet we go ON day after day de-
voting our '.m' and energies SO eN-
clusiNcN 20 other interests that we
lave no time To devote to the dc
mands pf our duty To Almighty God.
Perhaps our business is such that we
would sustain p"cuninrN loss If We
took tim" To look after our religious
duties. We are behind with our work
and % satisfy clamorpG customers
we stay out of church ana labor seven
days in tho week. There are patrons
coming around every Sunday morn
ing 10 buy something they had for
gotten or neglected To purchase SOM"
ether day, and We fear that someone
else will sell the goods If We clos"
cur store and attend church service.
Perhaps mistaken notion Of out
duty to family or employer keeps us
away from the preaching of God|
word. or maybe we have an Idea
that we can be lust as good and
stay at home when Gods children
have assembled for worship. Per
haps You might be- good Chris
