Mr. C. W. Luther who was do-
ing ah excellent work as teacher
at Exway, was compelled to give
it up on account of his health.
The neighborhood is fortunate,
however, in securing as his suc

RELIGIOUS
C Attending Church ;
Why do people attend: church?
and 'why shouldpeople attend
church? are diffentTiuestibns;
though in some cases r the same
answer would be given" to both.
A man recently changed his
place of worship because the
preaching at one place continual
ly disturbed his conscience. He
went to a place where his con
science was not disturbed. But
was he- wise in making the
change ? The new church was
more agreeable to his depraved
religious tastes. He enjoyed g07
ing to the new churcbmore than
going to the place oi his first
choice, but he lost the very thing
that he most heeded. If his con
science was disturbed at the old
church, it was because his life
was morally wrong The dis
turbed conscience ought to have
led to reformation and then tne
preaching would have ceased to
be offensive. Perhaps it would
have become a service of great.
enjoyment- Bitter medicine is
not-palatable, but it often makes
our food palatable and nourish
ing, So the truths that are un
pleasant to hear may give us, if
heeded, a taste for preaching
that we formerly could not en
joy- we snouid not seelc so much
what we like" as wjiat we need.
The preacher may be tempted
to give his hearers what they
like rather than what they need.
but if he is faithful to his ' hish
calling he will not yicUto i the
temptation. I heard of a : physi
cian once who-gave his patients
narcotics and paliatives when
they were in pain, when he
should have given remedies that
would not alleviate for a while
the- pains of the sufferer, or
whin ne should have used the
knife. In the meantime the pa
tients growworse without know
ing it- They flattered themsel
ves that they had beenr; benefit
ted when their deadly diseases
were steadily growing worse.
The physician gained ;a tempo
rary jxjpularity, but at a fearful
cost to - himself ' and , to those
whom lie deluded. Such a " phy
sician would merit, and would re
ceive the contempt of any en
lightened community. - How
much more jiilty is the preacher
who would lull guilty souls into
a false sense of security in order

A woman in one of the horth-
erh counties of this: state togeth
er with some of her neighbors
was trying to have the - pastor
of the church removed.- 'She
stated to the f committee repre
senting thechurch court that his
preaching had no more effect voft
her than pouring water on a
dude's ; back. : The defendant
asked whether the conditicn to

water, or to the state of the

to call attention to the practice

This practice imposes ; undue

s accounted for in the following
way: Februarys, Or Candlemas
Day, was ; a favorite holiday,
marked :: by public "gayety and
ceremonies, in Europe during the
middle ages. It is still marked
there by the closing of banks and
offices, but not otherwise, outside
of the reading of church services.
In the church; calandar; it Is
known as the feast of; purifica-r
tion of the virgin, and was first
instituted by Pope Sergius about
the year 684 A. 1). . The popular
