WHY 1 ATTEND CHURCH"
ST. JOSEPH, LA.

1t is sweet on q summers morning
when the air is aquiver with the love
songs of the birds and fragrant with
the odor Of roses blown, to hear the
music Of the church-gOing bells, an
invitation TO the world-wearied to
enter Gods temple and find peace,
because the instinct of worship is in
the heart Of man, and the Church is
the Temple of the living God.
60 to church because find peace
there, that peace which De Quincy
described as resting from human la
bors, a Sabbath Of repose, a respite
granted from the secret burdens Of
the heart, as if / stood at a distance
and alOof from the uproar of life, as
if the tumult and fever and strife
were suspended, as if there brooded
over me dovelike and halcyon calm.
go to church because l love the
music and hear there the mighty roll
of the great organ, mingled with the
marvellous symphonies of that divine
stringed instrument the human voice,
untwisting all the chains that tie the
hidden soul of harmony.
go to church because delight to
hear the teachings of the preacher,
whose soul is dedicated to God, whose
field is as wide as Gods universe
whose theme is the destiny Of man
and whose words are the oracles Of
Fate. Marvellous is the spell of the
preacher, to whom God has given
genius and conservation, and the pow
er of illustration drawn from the old
sacred immortal book, and from the
miracles of nature, no less revealed in
crimson-tipped flower turned up by
the pillow share of Robert Burns upon
the soul Of Ayr, than in the long
reaches of the star-girt skies.
go TO church because "the way is
dark and l am far from home," and
because the church is the Polar star
to light my pathway in. the rayless
night.
go to church because the church
ministers not only to the spiritual but
also to the material needs Of life and
because it is there that the charities
that soothe and heal and bless are
scattered at the feet of man like
flowers.
go to church because in that at
mosphere vice and crime wither and
die.
l go to church because l hear the
teachings Of the philosophy of Jesus,
the Incompatible man, and if you say
his teaching is philosophy and not
religion, and that he was man. and
not a God, then the philosophy Of that
man has redeemed the world from
savagery and blessed mankind with
Christian civilization and to my mind
it is a thing worth while to hear.
/ 60 to church because I find there
consolation and hope, because I see
there the dawn and not the sunset,
and it is better for man if the hope
is baseless and the vision but an
elusive phantom, to cherish dream
50 glorious and beautiful than to be
weighted down and crushed with the
quarried mountains Of a world with
out hope and without God.

gresham from Oklahoma.

Joyce's Memory
Hazy on Details
OF Total Income
Millionaire Characterizes Ac

Testimony Disappointing
To Large Crowd.

Chicago. June 9,--James Stanley
Joyce, millionaire lumberman from
whom Peggy Joyce is cndeavoring
to collect $4,000 a month alimony
and 100000 attorneys fees, was put
on the witness stand before Judge
SABBATH today.
The room was crowded, a large
proportion of the spectators being
tlappers who were anxious to catch
a glimpse of the man who claims
Peggy lured him into marriage and
cost him a half million dollars or
more. His testimony was disappoint-
ing in a way. He characterized Peg
gy as a robber. The crowd found
considerable interest in his state
ment that he owned but four auto
mobiles, valued at S25,000, one OF
them being secondhand machine.
The audience smiled when he told
OF paying $500 for a camping place
in Minnesota where he and Peggy
planned to lead the life of hermits,
and the flappers laughed outright
when he missed his own straw hat
and put on an old lid, formerly the
property OF court attache.
Memory Faulty.
Mr.. Joyce displayed faulty
memory. He appeared to be very
hazy about several important de-
tails. He declared he did not re-
member whether the 100000
lumber concern of which he is one
third owner, paid any dividends last
year. He was equally at sea regard
ing other sources of his income.
Pressure on this point finally caused
him to refer questioners to "Mr.
Johnson, my expert accountant who
knows all about my financial at
fairs"
He said his net worth was ST.
oo5,000, according to the figures sup
piled by his expert accountant OF
March 81. this year. He said he had
decided the Miami home he built for
Peggy, over to his brother.
"Did your brother pay you for it,"
"No, l decided it to him voluntarily
to keep from being robbed.

property. I did not want my wife
to deed it to third party.
