To help neutralize these irritating
acids and flush off the body's urinous

Dull Sermons Cause
Church Falling Off

Thirty-six reasons given by the pub
lie for not going to church were COM
piled by the Christian Herald which
disclosed yesterday some results of
an investigation it has been making
with the cooperation of newspapers
into the cause of non-attendance.
Christian churches as whole have
shown gains in membership in the
last year, but with a marked falling
off in attendance. Various newspa-
pers, at the suggestion of the Chris
tian Herald, interviewed passersby at
street corners. Thirty-six per cent
of those interviewed said they went
to church regularly, while 64 per cent
either stayed away or went only once
in awhile.
According to these figures, more
than 40,000,000 in this country are reg
ular church-goers, with 100000 or
20,000,0 10000 more who go now and then
These figures, however, are regarded
as trlfie high. The major reasons
among the thirty-six are summarized
as follows by the Christian Herald:
"Uninteresting preaching, too much
denominationalism, GOODNESS towards
strangers on the part of the members
failure of the churches to keep pace
with the spirit and thought of the
times, too much sameness,' indiffer
ent music.
Some complained that the churches
are too orthodox and others that they
are too liberal. The pastors have quit
preaching the good old doctrine, ac
cording to some, and, according to
others, they are sticking to medieva
theology.
"How many of the Ga per cent OF
stayaways," asked the Christian Her
aid, would continue to make theil
