 Rev. MT. Aliens sermon on Sunday, regarding regular church attendance, might be repeated appropriately and profitably in every church in the Ma ton. To acknowledge God by an hour and ten minutes in his sanctuary one day in seven, at least, an easy and pleasant way of acknowledging be- lief in the Creator before men. The way to get good is to put yourself in the way of getting good, and it is fal- lacy for any one to declare them selves too old or too smart to learn. This scribe is a declared believer in the Puritanical law of compulsory church attendance. It is just as wise as the laws regulating school attend ance. We are only children of larger growth, with uncompleted educations
