is GOING TO CHURCH A HABIT?
The pastors of all of the churches
IN Grand Rapids worked in uni son
with all churches n Wisconsin and th
Union to make a specially OF church
attendance on Sunday, February lst.
Their efforts proved a great success,
as the churches. in, Grand Rapids
were crowded to their capacity on
that day and many people went tc
church who have not gone in years
IN fact the inside of the churches
was a curiosity to them. If every
body would get in the habit Of go
ing to church, it would be a very
easy matter for everybody. The
trouble is with most people who have
to work during the week, they pat
off their extra duties to be accom-
plished on the Sabbath The fore
noon of Sunday lis usually Occup 60
by a great many men II do ng these
extras. Then in the afternoon they
are at leisure to go hunting, so skat-
ing, to the picture shows, ard var
iety of other things that are relaxing,
If the pastors and the men and wo-
men who are interested IN the churcl
work of the community could make
the persistent effort for church at
tendance every Sunday, that they
made for February first, they would
revolutionize the Sunday habit. Most
men want to do good things and
support the good work in the COM
munity, but through thoughtlessness
they let George do it, often mes the
wife and daughters OF the family.
They feel that church going is large
ly the part OF the wife and CHI ldren
If the hours of labor during the We /,
could be made shorter and the amusS
ment time take Elale in the eveniI 6
then church going on the Sabbath
day would be much stronger than it
now is. We believe tie time is con-
ing when churches W Il be made more
attractive by being democratic and
more commonplace. The prevalent
church going class we are afraid,
think to much of dress and deco1a-
ton and display instead Of goirg
there to worship, meet with thei'
friends and neighbOrs in a common
place way and talk over and con: er
with each other in the best methods
of building up the communities in
which they live for better things.
The dress display on the part Of a
great many who can afford it is too
great and has a tendency to make
those who can not afford to dress as
well, keep away from the churches
for the fact that they cannot appear
as we'll as their neighbors. These
are minor matters and ought not to
influence church gong but We know
they do. What is the remedy?

Young man, don't stand on the
street corner with your hands in YOU
pockets awaiting for snap. The
chances are ninety-nine to a hundred
that it will never tuun up. There are
too many fellows, in the same pursuit
and if the snap passes down the line
TO you, it wall be because it is in dis
guise. Don't always be OH the lock-
out for soft thing, for the longer
you look the harder you will fall
when you have an attack of horse
sense. The fellow who is continually
seeking a snap VIII collide with the
butt end of adversely just as sure
as the blue birds will come back in
the spring. He will buck up against
it with a physical emphasis that
calculated to bring him to his senses,
but oftime too late to catch the
train of opportunities that has been
passing and repassing before him
for years.

According to the American Car
penter and Builder which has maze
a very extensive investigation among
contractors and builders of the
United States and Canada great
cptomism prevails in every section OF
the country and while 1913 was
good year 1914 gives promise Of be-
ing much better ''In all the North
Central states" says the Carpenter
and Builder, without exception
builders and contractors expect a
better business South Atlantic
states predict a big increase while
western states are optomistic with
the exception of Washington, New
Mexico and Neva6 a. AS the cond.-
tom of the building trades furnishes
a good index as to conditions IN
other lines of industry, the report
thus made goes to confirm the grow
ing belief that the year 1914 is to
be an excellent year.

she has always been a resident o

it would be a great direct north and

of Grand Rapids would be true OF
every city and otwn located on the

benefits that would accrue to them,
and they have nothing to lose on the
