TEN REASONS ON WHY WORS'H LP REGULARLY Because of the example of our Lord. 'He went as his custom was'. Because of the Scriptural exhorta- tion that echoes across the centuries, 'not forsaking; our own, assembling together as the custom of some is', Because •of the uplift which comes. through worship. Who is not con- scious that his greatest need in these days in 'A Presence which dis- turbs me with the joy of -elevated thoughts'? Because of the harmonizing of the soul with the music of the spheres. Our age cries out for those who are 'in the spirit on the Lord's Day'. Because of the joy of Christian fellowship. 'Behold,' how pleasant and how, good that we, one Lord confessing, together dwell in bro- therhood, our unity expressing'. Because of the courage and Chris- tian optimism received. I had faint- ed unless 1 had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.' Because of the contribution. that worship makes to the building of a peaceful world. World brotherhood can be realized only as it finds its source in our hearts, our hones, our communities, our nation. Because of the development of a sensitive conscience. It is when we 'see the Lord high and lifted up' that we cry, 'Woe is me for I am a min of unclean lips.' Because of the acquiring of a pas- sion to serve. It is the love of God nourished in the sanctuary which leads us to 'love our neighbours as ourselves' and to serve in the spirit of Him 'who came not to be minist- ered unto bat to minister'. unto but to minister'. Because of the glory worship ascribes to God. 'Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness'. Our age. needs to recover its appreciation of the glory and majesty of God. 0 cone let us worship.
