Because you owe it to yourself, your family, your community, and most of all you owe it to your Would you care to live in Wilmette if there were no churches in the place? Would your property in Wilmette be worth as much as it is worth if there were no churches here? There is only one answer to these questions, and you need not to be told what that answer is. An expression of ypur appreciation of these conditions can best be made by your support of their cause with your presence and influence. Are you square with yourself when you omit from the round of your week's program, the thing that, most of all, ministers to the best that is in you? Are you too busy to go to church? Must your leaves be raked, your garden digged, your grass be cut, your house rebuilt all on God's day? The world s, greatest men have been those who found time td attend church on Sunday, and who kept to the spiritl i of the church service throughout the day. Go to the church of your choice. You have de- nominational preference, no doubt, and there you will hear a good preacher, because there are no poor preachers in Wilmette. If you do not like the preacher in the church of your choice, that is not his fault, but yours; ask him to forgive you and then ask your creator to oil up the main-spring of your spiritual nature that you may like your preacher. We get out of going to church what we put into it. We must like God's minister or his message will not reach us. Go to church Sunday. Go next Sunday and go all the Sundays and go in the spirit that gets the most out of going. Let the day and the church service minister to your higher self.
