Church NewS-EpwOTth LeagHe
The monthly meeting of the Ep-
worth League will meet at the home
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence Warren
on Monday evening, October :.
A full attendance is desired.
The writer would like to say
few words boosting the League.
Young people don't know how
much enjoyment they miss by not
attending the monthly meetings of
the League.
1t is one of the strongest levers
the Methodist M. E. Church has to
hold the young people in the
church. It's nothing but crime to
allow a successful League such as
Ellendale has had, to lose its inter
est in holding the young people.
There is a reason for such nom
attendance of the young people and
it remains for those who are faith
full to find it out, and apply any
remedy of a Christian character that
will gather and hold the young
folks within the folds of the
church.
It is no wonder the Methodist
Episcopal Church is going back
ward. The membership seems to
grow less each year. Why is it?
The class meeting seems not to
attract the people any more. The
Church School has only half as
many attendants as it should have.
The Epworth League seems to have
lost it's power to hold the young
people. The preaching service is on
ly fairly attended, when the church
should be full of people. 1t is time
that Christian people should stop
and think what the final outcome
will be for the churches if this
apathy now prevailing continues
much longer.
What any church needs is an old
fashioned revival of religion, and |
it cannot survive unless it has some
thing of this kind, which will be
The means of working. UP the men,
bership of the different churches |
and cause them to go to work and
if possible save the churches from
further decay.
1t will take double dose of the
Did time religion, such as our mo-
hers and fathers had, to redeem
his world of ours from sin.
We trust and hope that the next
meeting will be largely at
ended by the young people of Ell
endale and vicinity, and also that
he young people will take a part
md make the League meeting each
Sunday night a great success which
should be.

lily the faith and fearlessness OF
ose Christians who lived in the
Irly days saved it from destruc-

The life and doings of the Apostle
aul was also discussed. There was
It one opinion voiced and that was
