Go To Church
Every Sunday
/
Every man is better for the spiritual im
provement he will derive from Church at
tendance on Sunday. The environment of
soulful peace, the benediction of rest from
our work-a-day activities and the enthrall
ment of uplifting music are potent attractions
to quicken the habit of going to Church on
Sundays.
If it is a desirable thing to go to Church
on the first Sunday in the year, how much
more valuable will it be to the individual if
he or she attends Church every Sunday?
Go to Church for spiritual growth; for
moral quickening; for intellectual stimulus;
for soul satisfaction —and above all else, for
the glory of God.
