Remember the Sabbath
Day and Keep 1t Holy

Sunday is one of the best in
stitutions that man has ever
gained for himself. Man must
have an opportunity to get out
of the machinery of things.
During the week he falls into the
step and rhythm of the CONNER
eial system of which he is part.
Sunday at least gives him a
chance to pay attention to his i'm
ner life and find his true place,
to readjust himself, to see life
in a larger way, and he must
make the best of il IL he is
10 grow as a human being.
A city with it's churches wiped
out would be a poorer, meaner
and truly dismal place. The OBJ
jeet and mission of the church is
to infuse more sacredness into
the rest of the week. Sunday
can be a golden staircase by
which we ascend from the reg
ion of material interest to the
loftier concerns which ennoble
human life. The soul within
you is not nourished by pleas
ure-roving. Ii gathers reinforce
ment from meeting together
with like-minded people in the
cause Of Righteousness, having
our thoughts directed alo,g high
lines, our emotions purif'-l by
noble music.
