"GO TO CHURCH"
We should practise the habit of
attending church at all seasons, but
surely, if ever, at this time of the
year, when tokens of Christmas are
seen on every side. Blessed is the
man, who can endure an hour and
five minutes in a place of worship as
well as two hours in a place of am-
usement. Blessed is the man whose
watch keeps church time as well as
business time. Blessed is the man
who loves his Own church enough to
praise it. It isn't a smart preacher,
or 0 rich congregation, or a good lo-
cation, or a paid choir, that makes a
successful church. It is the church
members always being there that
counts.
Oliver Wendell Holmes was once
asked why he troubled to attend a
small church where the preacherrswas
a most ordinary man with no origin-'
elity as a thinker. Dr. Holmes gave
this fine reply, "I go because I have
a little plant called Reverence, and I
must needs water it once a week or
it will die." There are other and
deeper reasons why we should go to
a place o£ worship regulaiy, to con-
fess out sins to ask God's pardon,
to praise Hon or His goodness, to
encourage one another in our most
holy faith, But there is also need to
water the little plant caked Rever-
ence," which soon fades and dies un-
less we remember it It least once a
week by assem'Itling together for
God's worship.
