Is bowling one Of your favorite recreationse
 Well, # lt isn't, after reading this article I hope you will try it more often. This game was first intro duced in New York city by the Dutch In the I7th century. At this time perhaps not more than 1000 people, all men, were the only ones acquainted with it. But gradually more men and women, and today, youngsters, tonslder this game their favorlte pastlme. At the present day, about I7 million men, women and young people visit their favor ate alleys frequently. This is the case especially at night in water bury, where one cannot hope very often to find on alley ct his or her favorite hall.
 When you begin to bowl or if you have tried already, try to keep in mind the following hints: Always take your time; remember your language-the pins can't hear you, but the bowlers can and they don't admire you for 1t, And, most irn- portant, lead with your right foot and end with your left foot. And to men, aS well as boys, girls and women, l say, don't throw 0 speed hall", it seldom gains you anything.
 When bowling, try to attain mus ctilar coordination and relaxation, and then apply the saying, 'Prac- tice makes perfect" After these principlse have been observed and carried out, think you will find yourself Tn the groove" aS Tommy Dorsey and all the lnaestros soy.
 I, Vincent Maloney, wish ell my readers c very Happy and Prosper ouS New Year.

music or even for wholesome foot but we believe that the recognition of such need is c sign of health Once upon a time 6 minister in or- der to draw out Q young lady said, "It doesn't make you Christian to attend meetings" T know that" the little girl replied, "but 1t keeps 1t in my mind." No, of course, 1t doesn't make us Christians to att tend services but 1t helps, 1t keeps Us in mind of the great verities of life, of the great duties and privi- leges of life. It seems to me hard to believe that man should go to church year and year out and not be lifted little higher, made a little stronger. It seems to me just as certain that a man cannot stay away from church without missing something very precious in life. And I'm wondering if a man who is a pure, tnadulterated individualist in religion and keeps all his devotiona to himself here on earth, I'm wor- dering If he is expecting to have some quiet corner of heaven all to himself. I can't believe that a man who fails to identify himself with the church militant can expect to be found with the church triun- phant in the days when the secrets of all hearts shall be opened.

T think 1t highly interesting in the light of the fact that some critical and not too generous peo- pie say that some churches are al- ways talking about money, to know that in the earliest days they talked about money and at church serv- ices" said Rev. pr. John c. Walker Second Congregational Church pas- tor, in his sermon, If It Doesn't Rain."
 Dr. Walker said in part:
 It has always cost money and time and service to go to church and I hope 1t always will. When we come to church we make 1t our business not simply to cultivate a sense of individual, comfortable well being, we come to worship God we come to remember the needs of His children, our brethren, we come to strengthen the hands of those who preach the gospel and extend the bounds of Gods Kingdom. It is our business to build up the Church of Christ in the joy of giving gen. erously, wisely, faithfully, sacrifl- cially.
 think 1t is safe to say that those early Christians thought of atten- dance on public worship, not as a matter of personal choice, the sort of thing one did if there was rloth- ing else of interest to do, but as a solemn obligation. Some of our con- teinporaries seem to think of at- tendance at church as favor one confers on God. I doubt if the Lord of the Universe is flattered by our attentionl Our Puritan forefathers certainly never tried to patrorsize God. They believed that God had laid certain commands upon His children and that they, as Gods elect, were called, not to special favors but to certain great tasks and obligations. And if you say that the Puritans took themselves and their religion too seriously. can say without fear of contradiction, we take our calling as Christians and our religious faith generally far too lightly. I wonder If we haven't here one of the vital issues of life? Why must people swing from one ex- treme to the other? Why isn't there a sense of balance and proportion to be cultivated? And don't we need balance, perspective, proportion in religion as well as zeal and fervor? Did not Jesus say that we should be wise as serpents as well as harmless as doves?
 Then too with regard to regular chruch attendance, I cannot but believe that 1t answers one of the primary needs. one of the elemental hungers of the soul. am not say ing that this need is always and everywhere recognized. Not every one recognizes hunger for great
