Our Church Sometimes the church services_ may seem dull to weariness. Too often they yield no blessing, The bush is not always hurtling with ,halloWed fire. Ent surely no one ever took part in these services, who came with a need or a trouble, who did not receive help, strength andlight.' The church is- a home for the lonely, where solitary and outcast and -disappointed peo-ple may find in the service and fellowship or the., church, the help and comfort they need. The neglect of public worship is dis- appointing to all 'chu-rch lea,ders, es- pecially in these busy and hustling and overdriven days, when men and women need So much a place of quiet. A time of meditation, an lieur. of re- collection. It- IS' strange. -that young men: and Women, ih the years when the things that; are beautiful, , are attractive to them, do -not ihunger for the beauty of holiness, and it is even more' singular that older men and yronlen who., are walking in the trying levels of middle life,, and are bearing the heat and bur- deneof the day,. do not cemeeagerly, to church. Here is a man who has Arcade into God's house perplexed and barassed, bewildered about his duty, and -as he prays he sees the way be- fore him as in a vision. Here is woman, bearinglaer secret sorrow, and affliced with fear about her. life, or burdened by her deep, anxiety- for those dear to her. As she sits, she catches the -contagion cif faith, 'and peace- like a dove descends upon her. Here are young' '-men and women, tempted by thiceallUring world.
