GOING TO CHURCH.

Or better, make ii question: Are
you going to church today? 1t is a
question whose answer in your action
concerns you more than it does the
church. The churches might find other
uses; the ministers might find employ
ment for their talents which would
pay them higher salaries. goodness
knows. But would our community and
communities. our state and nation, be
able TO endure the loss? 1t is a Ques-
ton which permits of no debate In
large measure it is answered by the
fact that the churches have ever since
the foundation of the first one grown
in number, in variety, in number of
members and attendants. 1t is true
that the number in proportion to the
population has not, in general, grown.
Nevertheless. the influence of the
churches is such that the number of
those who feel their influence is great
er in proportion to the population than
it was three-quarters of q century ago,
says New Haven Register Yes, the
CHURCH, in this country, at least, stands
as its own justification, and its accom-
pliShment is proof Of the necessity Of
its continued existence.

ious one of man who makes wager
with three friends that he will go a
whole week telling nothing but the
truth to all he meets. 1t is the cir

alton, when the veracious hero strives
to win the wager, that provides the
farce with comedy of the most excru-
ciating kind He tells the truth but
it gets him into all kinds of hot water
