Why Not Go To
 Church Sunday

SsS tOtAV"Ss
 ''I am a cripple, 2l years old and scarcely ever ga out unless l go to church once in a great while. and that is the subject l want you to write on.
 Please ask the young people of this day why they do not go to the church. You must have noticed yourself. Miss Loeb. that the majority of the young people have time for everything and every pleasure. but when it comes time to go to church, they are either too tired or have a date.
 "Tel! them if you wish of this letter and of me. q cripple. who cannot % to church more than two or three times year and would give anythiny for the health to go regularly. Tell l them how sit and hear the church bells ri6g and just long to go. while they whom God has with strength cannot find time to go, instead of going turn their steps toward moving pictures or dance halls.
 Ask them to stop and think of me and many others like me who cannot go. but long to. 1 know you can write piece that will touch some, if.only a few of them. and l will be so pleased snd thankful to yeu.''
 The lette, speaks for itself. 1t is plea worthy of every con- s,deration not only by young people but by every person. Why net go to church?.
 The doors are open wide in < auAry church. Why not gog What is there against il? Just as this cripple says. you who can go. why don't you do it? | l know what one person will answer me. q friend of mine. He will say: There is a bank president in the church which l attend who goes every Sunday. praying the most urgent prayers. He goes down to business the newt day and cheats poor people out of their money. Ee is one of the pillars of the church. " He will go on to tell me about another elder. another pillar" of the same church. who does this. that ar the other thing that ia wrong. He will explain how hyprocricical these people are and give that as his big reason for not going to church. Perhaps some of you who read this will agee with him. Per haps some of you will point to 1 the fact that even a peacher goes wrong sometimes. Perhaps some of you will tell how some constant churchgoer has done you a great wrong.
 But what has this or any of this got to do with your going to church? Suppose for a mom- ent many church members are not as you would have them and are hypocritical.
 You don't have to do what the bad churchgoer does. The prime question to ask ones self is what has the church to give to you -> the individual?
