Firures compiled by the special
ISIS show that more than 100000

CHURCH HOSPITALITY


The modern church has many adyan-
tages over that Of generation ago,
such as building equipment, an edu-
Gated pastorate, music and the like
But there is one point in which they
are failing to measure up in some To-
calities. That is a lack Of genuine,
enthusiastic, Christian interest in the
visitor and the stranger One only
has to imagine himself in some strange
community without friends or acquain-
tances to understand fully the impor-
lance of the glad hand and christian
welcome. 1t is part of christian duty
to extend the joy and gladness of
christian living to the world in what
ever way this may be done. There
is no more certain way to a mans
heart, no better way to enlist his in
terest in The cause of the church than
through the medium of the glad hand
ard the heartfelt christian welcome.
On the ether hand the surest way to
10 make people know you have but
very little Of the genuine type Of pure
religion, is to dispense coldness in
stead Of warmth. Can anything be
more dispiriting or more detrimental
to the cause of the church and the
cause CT the Christ, than to main
ain an attitude Of Indifference and I'M
concern for the visitor and the stran-
ger in our midst? TO administer few
Sundays Of GOODNESS and disregard for
those who have probably gone to
church under difficulties, or to those
who &c onlytoo seldom, is about the
equivalent Of administering a dose of
poison so far as the christian we'll
being OF those persons is concerned.
But there is another side to the
question, that probobly the visitor or
the stanger thinks only too little
about. How often do you go to
church arriving just ten minutes after
the sermon has begun? How often
are you the first to rush to the door
about ten seconds before the bene-
LECTION is finished? Coming to church
late, sting ton the hindmost pw,
and making a race for the door at
he Carliest opportunity robs your
'rieGd Gf the ability to inpart any
hing & t the JOY and sunshine of the

food value. Something can be done to
diminish the rain made by candy
stores and soda water fountains on
