SIX Church Attendance Means Much to Each Person Church-Going is not a thing of any fine Sunday but is valuable for every Sunday. Every argument for church going is an argument for going to church Sunday after Sunday. , Every Sunday has some special message for the special need of ev ery individual. Sunday is a day of rest from worldly troubles and perplexities and church service should be esteemed a privilege by those who have labored. Church-going is a mutual affair—you need the church and the church needs you the community needs church activities. Church-going is a commercial necessity; that community is most prosperous and best to live in, whose citizenship is a church going con stituency, and whose ideas of Sunday observance are churchward. Church-going brings physical rest and spiritual refreshment, and no one can meet his personal need by absenting himself from church. Church-going is beneficial mentally, morally and spiritually, vou get, the uplift of ideas, and stimulation of thought. To be open-minded means to be able to accept for the most part what is proffered and to apply the teachings of the word to your per sonal needs.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. ~r and has had such genuine success that one cannot resist the impression that he is ordained of Heaven for the work in which he is engaged. After Sunday, Pastors of many of the great cities are now after Sunday. New York is planning a campaign under his lead ership two years hence. The meetings under Sunday’s auspices were instru mental in cleaning up the city and placing the churches on the city’s map. Dr. Maitland Alexander, pastor of the hirst Presbyterian chuTch of Pittsburg, declares that the city was chastened and reformed by Sunday’s preaching. Among some of the tan gible results, not to count the large number added to the membership of the churches, are a Bible class of wealthy men who had formerly had a poker club; the reduction of the miners’ drink hill, formerly very heavy; the organization of a religious department with an ordained minister in charge, by the Cambria Steel Com pany, said to he one of the largest in the city. Results. These and other notable results Vtould indicate that the preaching of Sunday reaches all classes, and that nis meetings are a blessing to any peo ple. If th pastors of this city wish him, it would not be too early to take lip the matter at once and arrange for his coming in 1916. That would seem far ahead for some of us, no doubt, but it would give the pastors a goal W u rk *°* ** would enable the churches to prepare for the united campaign. It would give them a chance to work in double harness and learn each other. It would afford am ple time to advertise the meetings, and if needed, build an auditorium of ample seating capacity.

If the pastor does not preach to you individually vou can still get individual good out of what he has to say.

Change Has Come Upon London Season Recently London.—A change has come upon the London season of recent years. It has. indeed, almost, ceased ot exist as we knew it a genration ago. It is the automobile more than any thing else which has killed it. The growth of the automobile habit .has been accompanied by a revival of the passion for pastimes which take people into the open air. The fashionable flaneur and flaneuse who are quite features of a Victorian London season have disappeared. The West End clubs are now almost en tirely deserted of members during the week-ends In the traditional season. Only on Saturday a well-known picture gal lery closed for the first time at 1 o’clock instead of remaining open till the even ing. The reason is because so many more of the society people now motor down on Fridays or Saturdays to their favorite links in the country. But if the London season is not the same thing as it was, it still exercises a potent attraction to the new-comer. While North American invasion is per haps not so conspicuously notable this year, the South Americans are filling the gap nobly. Some of the most hospita ble hostesses of the present season hail from the continent to the south of the Panama Canal. NOT ONLY ETIQUETTE, BUT COM MON SENSE. Court etiquette requires even suf fragettes to keep their faces to the king w'hen taking their leave.
