GO TO CHURCH
Go Into All the World
Every man, woman and child in Augusta, except bed-ridden
invalids, should go regularly to the Chureh of his choice.
By doing so, he will serve himself and his city in deep, under
lying and fur-reaching ways.
Church-going affects the springs of character; and character
determines evtrything else.
If the Churelj has a fair and continuous opportunity to influ
ence a person, it will make him better in the very core of his na*
ture; and therefore a better member of his own family, a better
neighbor and a better citizen.
The proof of that proposition is on every hand.
In an exalted sense, self-interest is nobly served by the habit
of church attendance.
*
There is more in ehurehgoing than appears on the surface.
To identify one’s self with the Church is to become a sharer
in whatever the Church does.
And it so happens that the biggest and most international and
most beneficent operation now being carried on upon the surface
of this old globe is the Church’s enterprise of Christian missions.
By going to Church, you take the first step toward going into
all the world.
These great missionary meetings tiiat are being held in various
parts of Augusta—and any reader who is missing them is losing a
real opportunity for self culture and sor 1 acquiring the day’s cosmo
politan outlook —are riAilly only one form of the Church’s activity.
Whatever is great and inspiring and far-seeing about them is true
of the Church.
Go to the nearest missionary meeting—and find new reasons for
going to church every Sunday.

'Every Member Canvass’

The pastors and laymen were great
ly Impressed with the practical
methods suggested by the leaders ol
the United Missionary Campaign and

This canvass will have as its special
