WHY GO TO. CHURCH !?

One of the best habits any individ-
ual can acquire is that of going to
church regularly. Immediately some
guy will rear up on his duclaws and
emit noise that will reverberate
from one end of town to the other.
"Why don't you practice what you
"preach?" Well, the answer is, it is
our business to give advice, to preach
to our readers, and we pass on.
Thomas Carlyle, one of the worlds
greatest thinkers and philosophers,
declared that the most important fact
about any man is his religion and
Daniel Webster, American statesman
of massive intellect, said: "The most
serious thought that can come to
any man is that of his individual res
possibility to God"
But despite the views for these
and innumerable other men of similar
caliber- who might be quoted, there
are still people who insist that re-
ligion and church-going are matters
which interest only the weak-minded.
To such, the opinions of the late
Theodore Roosevelt may be interest
ing. Colonel Roosevelt, who certain
ly was anything but a mollycoddle,
was a churchman and church-goes.
He gave nine reasons for going to
church as follows:
| 1. In this actual world q church
less community, community where
men have abandoned and scoffed at
or ignored their religious needs, is a
community on the rapid down grade.
! 2. Church work and church at
tendance mean the cultivation of the
habit of feeling some responsibility
for others.
8. There are enough holidays for
most of us. Sundays differ from
other holidays in the fact that there
are So of them every year. There
fore Sundays 60 to church.
A. Yes, 1 know all the excuses. I
know that one can wroship the crea-
tor in a grove of trees, or by run
ming brook, or in a mans own house
just as well as in church. But al
so know as a matter of cold fact the
average man does not thus worship
5. He may not hear a good sermon
at church. He will hear a good ser
mon by a good man who with his
good wife, is engaged all week in
making hard lives little easier.
6. He will listen to and take part
in reading some beautiful passages
from the Bible. And if he is not
familiar with the Bible he has suffer
ed loss.
Z He will take part in singing
some good hymns.
8. He will meet and nod or speak
to- good, quiet neighbors. He will
come away feeling little more chart
tably toward all the world, even to-
ward those excessively foolish young
men who regard church-going a soft
performance.
9. I advocate mans joining in
church work for the sake of showing
his faith by his work.-Osawatomie
World.

One Of our best criminal judges
who has been the terror of criminal:
during his short period of manage
ment of the Criminal Court of thu
County of Cook, Illinois, is contrib
uting to newspapers a series of ar
ticles ON "Crime and the Civic Can
Ger: Graft" They reveal condi
ton that is shock to honest citi
zens. And reaction is almost imme.
date. Politicians are losing groune
every day and the general public feels
that something ought to be done, ant
soon. a..
The Knights Of the Ku Klux Klar
have BEEN charged with race hatred
and prejudice. Their avowed pro.
gram does not include any clause
which points out to the truth of the
charge. The only thing they seem *
advocate is "clean out" and thu
separation Of church and state, &
thing which has been advocated 70,
over a century by the greatest politi
cal thinker the world ever had: Giu
seppe Mazzini.
All impartial writer's admit that Z
