How many of our readers will go to' church next Sunda>‘? tlow many people in out town will do as they should do and attend church service? A church service tills the mind with ideas which make for cleaner living and u greater peace of mind, body and m>ul. All need to go to church — some church. They are all good. All strive to reach the same place It is needful tit attend services of this kind, because if men and wo men are to justify their existence they must feed their minds with the ideas that Come from the Crea tor. In failing to go to church one lost s something which is vital and necessary to well being.

Kind Editor—l am so glad to see that you do not fail to put tilings into your paper that have a foun dation. The piece ti:i- week on going t. > church is so much in keep ing with the Bible, I want you to reprint it. I think it will do us all good to study it some We are not only commanded to go to church, but to do so much more than we fail to do. You can find these words in Deuteronomy, 9tli chapter, 6th verse on to 9th. And these wores, “Which 1 com mand thee tin- day, shall be in thine heart: and thou slialt teach them diligently unto thv children, and shall talk ot them when thou sittest in thine house and when thou walketh by the way, and w hen liest down, nu t when thou risetn up.” And this in the 78tli Psalm, 6 and 7 verses, ‘‘That the generations to come might know them, even the children which should he horn ; who should arise and declare them to their children : that they might s t their hope in God, and not forget the words of God, but f keep His command ments ” Now-when I read what we are commanded by God himself to do, my heart’s cry is. Low can any body spend theii tim; in ] laying rook or anything else that does not poiut to God ? I am so weak 1 seldom ever get to church, but try to study my Bible and live it with God’s help at home, and want all who may read this to know that they can find the sentiments of my heart in the 84th Psalm, 10th verse: “For a day in Thy Courts. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.” And then the 11 Hi verse says, “For the Lord God is a sun and shield : the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will be withheld from them that walk uprightly.’' [ want to ask everybody to study ! the 100th Psalm daily: “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with glad ness: come before His presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord He is God : it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves ; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into Hi-- couits with piase: be thankful un o Him and bless His name. For the Lord is good: His mercy is everlasting; and His truth cn- M Any time is the right time for a glass of bI Morning, noon, or night—for a thirst-quencher, or gfj‘£/ just for a delicious healthful beverage—you will find la vA a new pleasure in every refreshing glass.
