Theodore Roosevelt's Nine Reasons for Going to Church In this actual world, a churchless community, a community where men have abandoned and scoffed at or ignored their religious needs, is a community on the rapid down grade. Church work and church attendance mean the cultivation of the habit of feeling some responsibility for others. There are enough holidays for most of us. Sundays differ from other holidays in the fact that there are fiftytwo of them every year,-tberefore, on Sundays go to church. Yes, I know all the excuses. I know that one can worship the Creator in a grove of trees, or in a man's own house, just as well as in church. But I know also, as a matter of cold fact, the average man does not thus worship. He may not hear a good sermon at church. He will hear a sennon by a good man who, with his good wife, is engaged all week in making hard lives a little easier. He will listen to and take part in reading some beauti~ ful passages from the Bible. And. if be is not familiar with the Bible, he has suffered a loss. He will take part in singing some good hymns. He will meet and nod or speak to some good quiet neighbors. He will come away feeling a little more charitably toward all the world, even toward those excessively foolish young men who regard church-going as a soft performance. I advocate a man's joining in church work for the sake of showing his faith by his work. ; ······ 0 0 ··········· 0 ······· St. _..,I 1140 Directory of Churches: Episcopal 0tarch Fant Coqreptioaal Oaarch Lake aad Wilmette Avmaa R10. 8tep1Hn A.
