Week by week, in the name Of the Church, which
embraces all denominations, have been urging
the public to attend religious service.
More than once the answer has come back: 81
went but did not like the preacher"
The time has for frank word.
We are not basing our appeals upon the ability
of the preachers We do not invite you to 90 to
church to hear orations or essays. Nobody knows
better than the preachers themselves how far short
of their purpose many sermons come. All queS-
tons of mere human ability aside, even as a spirit
ua message for hungry souls the sermon is some
times unsatisfactory.
Perhaps if the public knew how often the
preacher agonizeS in peniten prayer over this they
would be less cenSOriOuS.
The cardinal truth of the matter is this: We do
not 90 to church. primarily TO enjoy a good ser
mon. A congregation is not a mere audience:
crowd met to hear a talk.

has always been near us an the DAYS
OF our lives: is near 10 us now. near
er than we are 10 ourselves. his
presence is closer 70 US than our own
consciousness. and he always will be
near US; but practically, as the years
go by. God appears 10 be a long way
from US; our hearts have become
hard our eyes filled with sin cannot
see the Holy one. and our spiritual
hearing is almost gone. SO that. in
effect. il is as If God were not in the
universe. But the very fact that
you are interested in what 1 am say
Ing, and that YOU wonder whether
God has left YOU or not. is proof
that he is now very near 10 you. and
beg of you 10 reach out your hand
and grasp him while he is near.
Let Us Call Upon God.
No matter what may be the con-
dition of your emotions or your real
ization of Gods presence; no mat
ter how hard your heart may be if
your judgment still tells you that
you ought TO be a Christian then I
beg of YOU TO call upon God Tell
him the hardness Of your heart. con-
fess 70 him what "a great sinner you
know yourself TO be, and he will
come near to you and will bless you.
He will hear your cry like Jesus
heard the cry of Peter when he was
beneath the rolling waves.
Peter said, Lord save me-, and
Jesus stretched forth his hand and
caught him. This Will be your ex-
perience. The hand of God will be
reached out 10 you, and you will be
saved from your sins; and saved
from the punishment due your sins.

MISSION CHURCH.
4 Word About That Preacher!

The preacher would be the last man to claim that
it is by the wisdom and learning and eloquence Of
the pulpit mat the Church has been brought thus far
on her conluerng way. Far, far from it.
A church may be good church, despite lima-
tons in the pastor.
An unsatisfactory preacher Is no sufficient excuse
for absenting ones self from church
Speaking in behalf of the ministry we ask men
to go to church. to hear preacher? yes; as an in
tellectual exercise yes to hear the music? yes; but
mainly for the worship of God, for The confession
of sin and for the purpose of aligning themselves
with the Church in all her varied mission and min
Stry TO the world.
The attitude of the soul IS graver concern than
the altitude of the sermon.
And when all has been said it still remains that
the pulpits of South Bend are occupied by men of
gOdlv life who are not Self-SeekerS; men of intel
ectual and spiritual gifts; men whose supreme pas
sion is to help their fellows to know the truth.
