CHURCH ATTENDANCE
FAR BELOW POPULATION.

In view OF the near approach of Sun
day May the 7th, which has been des-
ignated and set apart for observance as
Go-To- Sunday School the NEWS
feels justified in saying word or two
about going to church. II is a lament
able fact and, at the same time a sad
commentary on the moral tone of our
people, that Of the, let us say, 1900 in
habitants of Louisa, not 20 per cent of
them are regular in their attendance at
any church. Admitting that this 20
per cent goes more or less regularly to
one OF the four churches In Louisa, we
are sorry TO say that there are some
people In this community, and some of
these are Of the gentler sex who from
years end to years end never go to
church unless possibly on the rare in
stance Of a funeral Why this is so II
is hard TO say. No man, no woman
was ever made worse by attending
evangelical services in any church. On
the contrary II is impossible to attend
such services in the right frame Of mind
without decided Improvement in ones
mental and moral nature. Such attend
ance is uplifting, beneficial, and edify-
Ing. Not TO go to church in this day
and age OF the world is wrong. The
NEWS does not say that people who
do not ever go to church are not good,
but II does say, be they ever so good
attendance at church will make the
best OF US better. Parents should go, il
for nothing else to set good example
for their children. No boy who passes
the forenoon or an hour or two OF il in
the house Of the Lord was ever made
worse by this employment of his time
A town where the sound of the call to
church is heard and obeyed by a ma
jority OF its citizens, young and old,
never became notorious for its wick
edness. On the contrary 1t is safe TO
say that town of full churches and
fun Sunday schools will become noted
as a desirable place for residence Let
us therefore heed the call to go to
church and Sunday school on the 7th
of May next, letting that be the first
step in the Get the habit direction and
keep in the way.
