Why Tri-Hi-Y Members Go To Church
EDITOR'S FOTE — This is
the last of the articles on "Why
Alpha-Tri-Hi-Y Members Go
io Church." It is hoped that the
articles have been beneficial
to many. Next Sunday please
make a special effort to as-
Itend the church of your choice.
WHY I GO TO CHURCH
By Elaine Hornbuckle
This is certainly a question
| which deserves our best thought.
I Here are some of the reasons I
■ would suggest:
(1). Because it is the Church of
1 the Living God. Man-made or-
I ganizatinos come and go, but the
I Church of God abides.
| (2). Because it is the appointed
I place and the best place to wor-
I ship God. In this atmosphere peo
। pie can better express the wor-
I ship of their heart along with
! others than they can alone.
(3). Because the Lord has
promised to meet with His peo
i pie when they come together in
His name.
(4). Because in going to the
[ House of God, we are walking
, in the steps of Jesus. The House
lof God stood at the very center
I of His life. Surely, if Jesus him
. self, found it necessary to at
tend the House of God, we too,
should feel the need of attending
church.
(5.) Because it is in the House
of God that we hear the work
;of God read and explained. It
lis this place where we are most '
likely to get a message from our
Heavenly Father.
(6). Because it is in the House j
of God that we meet the child- '
i ren of God. They are not per
, feet, but they have perfection
for their goal. If a person wants
, good associates who will help
I him on to a better life, he will
find them among the children of j
God.
“Christ loved the church and j
gave Himself for it,” and surely I
it is worthy of our best love and i
loyalty.

' Fit st of all, what is a church? [
It is an autonomous body of bap- ;
tised believers with Christ as its |
i head, and the members as its ;
■ body.
1 The church was given to us by ।
1 Christ, so that we could carry ‘
[ on his work. He set the example
] and wants us tc be loyal follow
; ers. I go to church because I
1 want to be obedient to His will,
j He commands me to pray, to be-
lieve, and to worship in His
house, if I am to grow spiritual
ly.
Attending church helps me to
walk closer to God. Os course,
anyone can lead a “good” life
without going to church, but at
[ tending church helps me to give
[something of myself, my talents
and my energy in praising and
I serving God. It helps me to be
a better Christian and a strong-
er person.
My church gives me an oppor
| tunity to witness more for Him—
-lin word and deed. Attending
[church is the very best oppor
[ tunity I have to give expression
to the experience of Christ I
have found.
Christian fellowship means
much to me also. Some of my
best friends are those made
through church associations. If I
am to receive the reward of
Christian fellowship, I must give
in like measure. I want to walk
with Jesus today, so when I
talk to others about Him tomor
row, they will w r ant to follow
Him too.
There is something about God's
[ house that can be found nowhere
[else. There is a quietness, a
peaceful, restful atmosphere. The
[ love of God is expressed through
I stories, poems, Bible verses, and
1 beautiful hymns. You learn that
Ino matter what may happen in
: the turmoil of everyday life, here
is something secure, something
positive, which can never be
taken away—the love of God for
[ every single one of us. If we
. will only do our share, how
great will be the rew'ard!
Have you ever watched a road
being built? It is a long, tedious
and irksome process, but when
it is finished you don’t have to
worry about the durability of
the road, because the foundation
is good.
Good foundations require plen
ty of time and patience, not on
ly for roads, but also for every
worthy endeavor of life.
Years of attending church and
[church school may seem like
[useless repetition, but the exam
ples and admonitions of the peo-
I pie we study in biblical history,
I the principles that have become
[ embedded in our hearts, the
j verses we have committed to
[memory, the habit of frequent
jing the Lord’s house on the Lord’s
day (and other days too)—all
these go into the sure founda
tions of our lives. Minor breaks
may come in the surface later,
but these can be repaired be
cause the foundation is so firm.

When I was younger, I went
:to church because my friends
i went. But since I’ve become a
। member of the Alpha-Tri-Hi-Y,
my ideas of “Why I go to Church”
■ have matured. I have learned
more thoroughly the relationship
between God and man. I know
; that by having a better under
standing of this you can better
enjoy the real reason og going to
I church.
I find a study of religion,
। which is done to an extent in
the club, adds tu the knowledge
and faith you receive at church.
In the club you learn to judge
I moral questions from a Christian
viewpoint. This makes me more
appreciative of the moral teach-
1 ings I receive at church.
The Y-Club at school gives me
an opportunity to practice the
[teachings which I receive at
। church about "loving your fel
low-man.”
My belonging to the Club has
helped me in my relationships
, between God and myself, my fel
lowman and myself and myself
with myself.

It happened in one of our large
department stores during one of
the bargain sales, After this
experience she saved thirty nine
cents on the item she had come
to purchase. She would never
think of treating a member of
her Club in such away or even
a stranger who may call at her
home.
The case may be a bit overstat
ed, but it is not exaggerated be
yond possibility. If you think it
is just go to one of the larger
department stores in any large
city during a sale. All too fre
quently we place the accent on
the wrong things in life. One
may save a few cents by thought
less and rude action, but it cer
tainly does not expand the heart.
Imagine what such actions
must do to one's self respect. One
must return from the busy de

of the self. To injure one’s self
respect, is too great a price to pay

Jesus placed the accent on the
worth of human personality. He
emphasized the consideration of
man above institutions and laws
regarded as sacred by the Sad
dusees. Jesus never carried a
bank book, but he learned the
important lessons of living with
other people. I am sure he never
suffered guilt feelings because he
had been unkind to his fellow
man.
If the art of thoughtfulness is
taking an extended nap as some
have suggested, it is time we
summon it from its resting place
of indifference and slumber.
Our great grandfathers may
have lived rather effectively
without mastering the art of
thoughtfulness to the same de
gree it is needed today. For ex
ample, my great grandfather
could spit his tobacco juice off
the porch in any direction with
out thought of hitting anyone,
except maybe grandma or the
old goat. Grandma could be
cleaned up and it did not make
much difference about the goat.
But today if you discharge that
slimy substance which you dare
not swallow, and the pigs won’t
eat off your veranda without re
gard for others you are likely to
hit the man who lives two houses
down the street in the eye.
Thoughtfulness is a virtue
which is the basis for winning
friends, and the fruit of which
will bring lasting joy and happi
ness. You will never regret being
kind to a friend or a beggar in
the street, and you may have
only one chance to be courteous
to a host of people. Grow a big
heart by expressing kindness
every opportunity you have.
