Wilmette Standard No. 4 ol a series ol ttatementl by local citizen· Why Do I Go to· Church? ; By Dr. Russell E. Adkins Faith is essentially a matter between the individual and God, a personal allegiance, a personal surrender, a personal service. This no man can assutne for us, nor can we allow any other conscience to be our guide in dictating just what manner of expression it shall take, or just what obligations it shall involve. This is our heritage of religious liberty from the Declaration of Independence, and is too precious a thing to be lightly set aside. Nevertheless, man is a gregarious animal, and, constituted as we are, it is impossible fully to appreciate and outline our responsibilities toward God, without considering our relations to our fellow men also. Even Moses might not have made some of the mistakes he' did. if, after his mountain-top experiences, he had made more of a sympathetic social and fraternal study of his people and their other leaders. · Few of us, if any, have all the personal poise, and the necessary training, and the greatness of character to Hfinti out God," and therefore our true selves, without the advantages of public worship. If we attempt this, it is likely to result either in despair,-too often the only answer of the world to the man or the woman with a real problem, or in rank intolerable egotism, ·or else in the callous indifference to the fate of ourselves and others which is really the death of the soul. , So I go to church for the good of my own soul, for the stimulus of public prayer and public worship, for the spiritual aspiration often best suggested in sacred music, for the deeper appreciation of the sterling qualities of my neighbors and friends, for a better understanding of my highest responsibilities and privileges. In spite of pessimism, as has been well said, .m odern buiness and all modern life is founded on faith : bank credits, stocks and bonds, even marriage and the home. But faith of any kind cannot operate to the best advantage without some collateral evidences of sincerity. Therefore, I go to church. IS YEAR GOITRE REMOVED Jl'or Lad7.
