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.
