Clear thinking people are quick to see that there is something
REALLY WORTH WHILE AND SUBLIME In the church.
THE COUNTRY CHURCH LAID THE FOUNDATION FOR THE
LATER SUCCESS IN LIFE. READ THE LIVES OF THE GREAT
MEN OF THE COUNTRY. THEY TAKE PRIDE IN RECALLING
THEIR EARLY RELIGIOUS TRAININe-THE FINE IDEAS THAT
WERE INcULcATED WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG. SURELY THEY
PUT TO SHAME SOME OF THE scoFFERs AT RELIGION AMONG
THE FLIPPANT YOUTHS OF THIS MATERIAL AGE. you CAN
COUNT ON YOUR FINGERS THE NUMBER OF SUCCESSFUL MEN
WHO DO NOT GO TO CHURCH.
The plea of some who have fallen away from the church is that
they are TOO BUSY to attend church. Yet men whose time is
WORTH 800 OR MORE AN HOUR do not begrudge an hour
or more for God on the Sabbath.
No man is too busy to attend church. If he is successful he
should GO TO CHURCH to thank God for his success. If he is
struggling he should ask Gods help.
GO TO CHURCH NEXT SUNDAY.

The Country Church Is the Ma
TONS BulWark. Go to Church.

ARGE percentage of the big men of this big
country come from small country towns.
Most of the REAL BIG MEN never for
get their boyhood days when they went to
the SMALL COUNTRY CHURCH. The
simple lessons that were taught there have
GUIDED THEM THROUGH LIFE.
Their lives have been clean. Clean living
made for their success.
When the GO TO CHURCH cam
paign was launched these men took a com-
mendable interest in it. By attending
church they set a SPLENDID EXAMPLE
to the careless and Indifferent. When a
real bio man GOES TO CHURCH the
