One Minute Sermon on Church Going

Text "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is."-Heb. 1925.
 Church going is a means of grace, and divinely appointed. It is helpful and restful. A fine investment of your time. It develops the best pow CTS of the man. But how easily neg lected. Absence from next Sundays services will make it easy to stay away the next week. The slightest ir- regularity in attendance will work ser ious havoc with a good habit. Then we reach for an excuse. We shall find a plenty except good ones, Most excuses analysed mean simply, q don't wish to-" If you will attend church regularly one quarter, you will want to go. Try the remedy. Begin next Sunday if you have not already begun. We shall look for you.
