The falling Off in attendance upon the preaching OF the Word
of God is receiving attention throughout the country. Lay
men. the membership of the different churches as well as the
ministry, are giving the matter serious attention.
Shall it be said that prosperity makes people more wora!y
and think less about their duty to their God and to their fellow

and. they no doubt have something to do with it. But IN our
humble Judgment, no little of the responsibility rests upon the

with the world and to avoid condemning in the pulpit those
things VIGOROUSLY wrong for the reason it may drive some
wavfarer away from the church so that he can never pe

thunders of Sinai. The man. walking the downward road

ministry is failing when it fails to talk to people PLAINLY from
the pulpit. The average individual wants something personal
in the preachers message; he cares little about aDstracuons
and those things that the critics bubble over. Another tnlng
that tends to make some people excuse themselves ABOUT not
hearing the preacher, is the numerous organizations WITHIN the
church.
a measure relieves them of the obligation to attend upon the
ipreaching. Especially is this true with the children. fareneS
too often allow their children to remain away from preaching
because. as they put it, "they went to Sunday School, In our

withstanding this fact, thousands of churches are entirely emp
ty from one to three Sundays each month, while comparatively
few of those that have regular services are ever filled to ca
pacity. 1t is probably a safe estimate that less than ten per
cent of the people Of our so called Christian nation are regular
attendants upon the services of the church.
1T is not fair to conclude, then, that the Indifference of the
public to the church is due to a lack of respect for the minister,
but to an Indifference to his message, resulting from the fasci-
nation of the things of the world?

more to be entertained than to worship. A recent QUESTIONABLE

SELLERS DIED
IN HOUSTON, TEXAS

Edward Sellers died in the Army
camp at Houston, Texas, last Sunday
morning and his remains were brought
here this week and carried out to the
Bethel church burying ground in the
Oxberry community and laid to rest.
Mr.. Sellers had been in the army for
nine years. He paid his mother and
relatives a visit last fall, the first
time he had been home since his en-
listment. He was in the very pink
of health when here. He made a good
soldier. He was about 40 years of
age. The Sentinel tenders condol-
enee to the widowed mother and 9TH
er relatives.

The Sentinel voices the sentiment of the board OF trustees OF
the city schools of Grenada in saying to the Grenada public that
the town needs and must have more room at the White puDNc
school, and it is understood that the trustees have informally
agreed that a high school building apart from the present
structure is the thing to do. The negro school building is al
most a wreck and it would seem that the wise and businessllke
thing to do is erect a new building for the colored school. Our
CITY fathers, both the present and prospective, will please take
notice and get their thinkers in shape accordingly. A bond is
sue of seventy or Z hundred thousand dollars will be necessary.
