WINDER, GEORGIA. IN RE CHURCH ATTENDANCE W. 11. Faust. Last summer a Winder preach er urged the members of his con gregation who were going to take a week-end vacation to take it in the Mountains of North Georgia, one of our most facile pen push ers had a squib about the matter suggesting that the preacher had urged his hearers to take a vaca tion and then scored them for tak ing advice. All of this leads up to a story One of the Souths leading preach ers went to church, at the close (if the service the senior deacon arose and notified the congrega tion that all of the pastors salary except $ 19.50 had been paid, whereupon the visitors busied themselves and raised the said ba lance and then asked the deacon the total amount of salary when the deacon informed him that all the salary totalled twenty dollars. One would infer from church attendance in a great many of our towns and cities that vaca tions and week-ends last eleven months in the year and six days in the week. America is the leading nation of the world today because of her churches and their influence. To day there is a very great falling off in interest and attendance up on church services. This spells trouble ahead for the future. Automobiles are in a measure responsible for this. They are cap acitated to become great bless ings, they can also become a curse if misused. The Saturday meeting in the country church is a thing of the past but the crowds of church members in the towns on Saturdays are the largest ever seen in the history of the world. One of our greatest weekly newspapers a few days ago had some very startling things to say about poorly paid teachers and preachers. Conditions now are abnormal, the salary of an unskilled laborer is greater than that of a college trained worker, a colored train porter gets more than a preacher but when another generation comes on that has to do with poorly paid and unefficient teach ers and preachers then education and religion will not have created formable enviroment for achiev ing success and the world will be in a desperate shape. People in one church pay now better than ever before, but the Lord wants more than money, he wants men and women, he wants life and service. Th.e average Sunday School of 300 has less than thirty five regu lar attendants. The average church of 400 members has an average attendance of less than 150. Church attendance is not a perfect register of Christian in terest, but where a man’s treasure, is there will his heart be, and the average fellow wouldn’t exist very long minus bis heart. If someone were to count tbe attendants upon divine worship in all the Winder Churerhes next Sunday, and compare the figures with the church rolls it would be an eye-opener. The trouble lies in the fact that the church members think the church is the field when Christ teaches that the world is the field. The church is a force to be wielded instead of a field to be cultivated, an army to fight in stead of a nursery full of children to feed, and when we come to realize this the plan will be filled and pleasure seeking, easse loving Christtians will cease to neglect the assembling of themselves to gether. Every church member in Barrow County ought to resolve how to be loyal to the Christ and the church and attend regularly upon all the services. Sweaters, in the very lattest styles at J. L. Saul’s.
