Why We Should GO to Church

1. The church is an institution or ganized for the purpose of carrying on and fastening the work of God on earth and We are divinely commanded to attend upon it's ordinances and SUD- port it's institutions. Christ commands tn isof us and our only rightful course is to obey.
 2. The Bible is very human book. There is scarcely a chapter in it that does not tell of things human and Gods way of dealing with them. It is our unerring guide of life. It is the church's text book. We should know this book and should go 10 church ev- cry Sunday where it is taught intense ly.
 3. Christian character is the princi- pal object of life. It is life's greatest achievement and the souls only solace. Life, without christianity, at least in the end, is a failure. The church is the greatest schoolhouse of Christiani- ty.We should go there to learn of it's soul saving power.
 A. The church has the best people in the world. We should go there to mix and mingle with them.
 5. Christianity is the greatest spiritual force in the world. It won the world war and made every message of our war president electrical upon the Congress and the nations of the earth. Before this spiritual power thrones crashed and empires crumbled The church tells us about it every Sun day. Let us go there and learn of it.
 6. Considering it from temporal standpoint alone, we should attend church and foster it in every way we can Josiah Strong and Roger Babson say, that the church is the greatest wealth producing institution in the world, that wealth follows in the wake of churches, that beautiful churches and strong Christian activity are never found in poverty stricken communities, and that the Christian people are the wealthiest people of the world. To get an idea as to whether these state ments are true or not, it might be in forming to write down the names of twenty of the wealthiest men you know personally and ascertain how many of them are Christians, and also write a list of ten of the wealthiest commun- ities you know and notice whether they have the strongest and most act i've Christian churches that you know. In this way, fair idea may be had whether there is any truth in these statements of Josiah Strong and Rog- CT Babson.
 2. The church is a great peace-pre- serving institution. Were it not for the churches, our sheriff and police force would have to be largely increased and our courts would be much more ex- pensive. For this reason we should make our churches the center of pop ulation every Sunday.
 There are other strong reasons why we should go to church, but these are enough to arrest the attention of the thoughtful citizen.

The banking world is in a stronger position than for at least two years It's the best sign in the world that business will soon be on the mend, yet we are eau tioned that on the return of better times we should avoid the wild and reckless practices that got us in bad before.

law carries appropriations Of $780,
