CHURCH HARBoR FOR THOSE
FLYING FROM THEIR SINS
SAYS ONE OF FIFTY,
CHILDREN, FALSE PRIDE, MOTH.
ING TO WEAR, TIRED FEELING
+ ARE OTHER REASONS.

Why do not more people go to
church?
Bruce Barton, in an article en-
titled why Fifty Women Do Not Go
to Church" which will appear in tho
February number OF the woman's
Hcme Companion. gives prominence
to the following extract from the rea-
sons given by one of the so women:
THE trouble with the church is
that 1t has developed into sort of
harbor for those who are flying from
their sins. They join the church. not
from any broad love of humanity, bu.
because they desire TO escape damna-
ton
OF the other 80 reasons some are:
The failure of the church to be a
live, vibrant. cooperative force;
third-rate sermons; closed doors in
many churches except OH one weeS-
day and twice on Sunday; its failure
as an uplifting force; the advent OF
the automobile and the sweetness oil
late slumber Sunday mornings. II
"All OF. which must be admitted as
partially true" says Mrs. J. o. White,
unien- Bethel settlement worker anu
wife of minister. pef 4
b Reasons Given Worker.
II am sure that the most of the wo-
men of the settlement are members of
some church." declared Mrs. White.
but great many of them do not at
tend services.
THE reasons are varied. Free
qucntly ! find woman who says: 4
used to go to church. but since the
children have come and John does
not make so very much money. I
haven't the clothes to go. get the
ready and send them to Sun
day school,
Another common reason is that
women are tired. Many OF them who
do their own work feel that they
must rest on Sunday. Pride-false
pride-I would say. keeps a great
many away. They are some one with
a sealshin coat going into the church
End they feel that the more inexpen-
eve coat will be out CT place.
Then you will hear n woman say:
4 would go to church, but they are
so stuck up that they won't look at
you always feel like saying TO that
woman that perhaps she,is partly to
blame. You know every one should
go half way II he expects others to
come the other'half."
