CHURCH.

HIS is free editorial advertisement for all the
churches in this town.
Tomorrow let put on good clothes and go to
church-some church-eyen though we may not be sub
scrlbers to any sect creed.
Omttng all spiritual arguments from consideration Just
now. let us go to church tomorrow with the idea of study
ing the church institution and what it means to the
individual and to the community in material benefits The
church has existed for good many centuries. 1t would
not have existed for all this time without having some place
in the scheme Of nature and for benefit to humanity.
20 those of who go to church tomorrow, and who
have not been in the habit Of going, think that the
general attendance will be found made up of the indus
rlous thrifty and more prosperous of the community And
if this is true. why the church has had some effect in
making them so.
While is true that all prosperous people do not go
10 church, yet the church has its time had its effect upon
hese-rough their parents in giving them the right start
in life through the general establishment of good order
and prosperity, and thereby increasing community oppor-
ty.
The church has at all times stood for good morals,
honesty and justice And all of these are the devices that
go TO make industry. thrift prosperity and happiness
Good morals are at all times good economically gen.
orally accepted moral parcces are good economies at some
one time place.
1t is true that all of US have not lived up 10 the stand
ards of morality advocated by the church. and we may
not now but has at least restrained in our besens
sins. or the sins to which the most liable and has
thereby kept us good bit better than otherwise would
have been
All persons who go to church are not rights some use
the church cloak for wrongdong but these are rea-
lively few are soon found and set apart
he great material function of the church, directly or
indirectly, has been TO restrain the pursuit of harmful
pleasures; it has restrained our canal mind as Saint
Paul terms Isl has kept US at work. reduced our un-
profitable expenditures and thereby promoted industry and
thrift.
The way make the church of more benefit to the COM
munity and ourselves part of the community is for
all of US to become part of the church-some church
1t is possible for any of to be just as much of
hermit in of these cities if we were shack jewellers
in the woods. and this by remaining away from and not
becoming part of the institutions of the community that
are for the common good.
There churches in every community for all; there
is church for each of and which we can accept
