WHY GO TO CHURCH?
Howard p powell
B;.ck of every act of the intelligent
rur.-on there is a reason for that act.
Since this is true, there ic some res*
son why thousands of people attend
v arch every Sunday. The fact that
rose pe< r le stay awav from church
than attend church, is no argument
f r or against church attendance.
Many of the great reforms had their
beginning in the heart of some man.
r group of men. If the progress of
"?ur pre at country had depended upon
the masses and what they have ac
complished we would not be among
:he honored and respected peoples of
the world. We owe much to those
who have been strong for their convic
tions in the face of the opposition
from the crowd.
A few words from the leading lay
men of the country will convince us
that the men who are leading the bus
iness world are men who have made
a place in their lives for the church
and its claims. Roger Kabson says :
"Briefly, the teaching of Jesus de
mand honesty, courage, loyalty, and
generosity. A person filled with
these four traitr can do nothing but
succeed, regardless of his line of en
deavour. These are the foundation
stones of Christianity, and upon these
four corner stones every business man
should erect his business if he is to
be truly succcssful." These words
from one of America's great business
men should be worth our pondering.
Henry Ford has a Bible in every
room of his home. During the life
time of Woodrow Wilson he pledged
with him that he would read a chap
ter in his Bible every day. which
fledge he keeps. Mr. Ford says: "I
believe in God and in Jesus Christ. 1
was brought up in the church. 1 be
long to the church. I attend church.
I never go to hear a sermon, wheth
er it is by a preacher in a small church
or a large one. that I do not get help."
Speaking of religion he says. "Relig
ion is like electricity. I do not un
derstand electricity, but I am deeply
interested in it. I want to know all
I can about it. I see it power and its
?result- in that light there. I see it
turn the wheels of industry. J know
that *t lights up the dar*-i places of
the earth. I know that it warms our
hearts and that it make- the world
better. I see and admit its effective
ness even though I do not profess to
understand it all."
Mr. J. C. Penny says: "My father
war- both a clergyman and a business
man. One of the things about his
Career that remains with me is just
this: the fact that he made no differ
ence between his farm and the church
when it came to the matter of his
ser\:ce. He did his best on the fa.m.
ar.o he rendered unto Ceasar the
things tnat belong to Cer.sar* ? and
he became an expert as a Missouri
agriculturist."
Following are some reasons why
one -houid go to church:
All the best people in the commu
nity are among those who are pres
ent for worship at the church.
The best people in the community
are in sympathy witl: the church and
its program.
You would not want to have your
home in a community where there
were no churches.
The church with the faults of its
membership is the best organization
in the community.
One will find an opportunity in the
church to give expression to his or her
highest and best ideals.
While the church has her hypo
crites, she has no copyright on hypoc
risy. There are as many hypocrites
outside the church as there are among
the church members.
Will you check up on those who
stay away from church, and who crit
icise the church and oppose its pro
gram. and see if you want to class*
yourself with them and their pro
gram.
May we expect your cooperation
during "Go-To-Church-Month?"
