A Christian organiza tion is not primarily a group ot people assenting to correct doc trine, though that is implied. But it is a company of believers whose belief finds its living expression in corporate communion with God. Bread is important, hut we can not live by bread alone. In the second place we go to church for Worship. Many people go to church to watch the preach er, and to hear the c.hoir sing. But they get little if anything out of it. We should go to church to worship God. That we may be lifted into that higher companion ship of kindred and aspiring souls until the spiritual tides rise within us. In the third place, we should go to church, to pray. There Is great good In corporate prayer. To have God Is to pray. Prayer is the natural expression of hu man need and desire. It is the necessary link between the hu man and the Divine. Jesus was first of all a man of prayer. He prayed for Himself. He prayed ,for,otkfln. He taacht GHs discl- tto to pny. Bo Mid $re okonld 'ol'wayB pray and ,not to fMat. :o t»> church becau.se it is here Wf. receive com fort and inspiration to carry on amid all the troubled difficult experiences that come to us. Somehow in these services we can hear Him say—“Come unto me, all ye that labor aud are heavy laden and I will give you rest.’’ Matthew 11:28. We should go to church in the last place because we can not ignore our Spiritual nature. It In just as necessary to culUTOte‘our Spiritual nature as it is bur phys ical. or intellectual nature. Going to Church Is like ‘the .vdndjng of a clock. However good the lelbck may be we must wind with our Spiritual natore, '2f we won’t wind it up by church attendance, by all of these thiase menNooed here, we wijl won raa down, spir itually. V. ,,r..
