AS winter approaches few words
concerning church attendance will, i
think, be appropriate. II the weather
ia not too cold or rainy for me to
follow business or pleasure pursuits
during the week. It Is not too bad for
mo to attend church on Sunday. The
truth is. church attendance ought to
have first place. since Christ gave
pre-eminence to seeking the kingdom
OF God and His righteousness. Clear.
cold weather. Of which we often have
an abundance. Is invisorating to those
who are enjoying reasonable health,
provided they exercise prudence IN
dress. and so the fact that 1t IS a cold
day ia in many instances no valid ex-
cuse for being absent from Gods
House. Men will often be satisfied
with our excuses. but reasons only
will satisfy God. Some excuse them
selves from church attendance on nc.
count on having company. Either in
vito your company to go with you. or
ask them to excuse you while you at
tend your church service. If you think
your visit to friend or relative will
prevent their attendance of church,
better postpone that visit, and go
when you will not interfere WITH their
church duties.

Alice. spent Thanksgiving with rela-
