of that meeting, on Sunday morning or whenever It is, isto bring you closer to God. to make God real to you, to send you back into your every-day life with a radiant heart and a mind at peace.

The object of your going to church is, in one word, Worship. Hymns, prayers, offering, meditation, lemon, —all of It ought to blend into one blessed experience of Worship, that is to say, an experience in which, you and others with you meet with God. Why doesn't this always happen? Maybe the fault I is with the people, not with the minister alone. One good preacher can't make a good service all by himself. RuFMiiwif Mi* Mini*!** - ■ -- - — cncvuraging int minisTer In the Bible story of Josiah and his great Passover, there are some valuable suggestions that even after all these years and all these changes can help us too. The Passover was the great festival of worship among the ancient Jews; it was observed every year. But the chronicler reports about this one of King Josiah’s, that there had not been one like it since the days of Samuel; or in other words, it was the best Pass\over in about 400 years. What made this one so special? Three points stand out One is that Josiah “encouraged the priests in their service.” Put into modern terms, .that means the people encouraging tbs minister. You always see the minister at the door after service, shaking hands with the people. They may tell him they enjoyed the sermon; but how many who ten him that helped him beforehand? Wow many of them prayed for him, not while he was preadting but long before, when he was working on his sermon? When a religious chicken-farmer is taking his poultry to market he doesn’t pray that they wfll be good chickens. The time to pray for that Is back when the eggs are hatching, when they are in the baby chick stage, while he is selecting the feed, and so on. By the time the chickens are ready for market it's a little late to be praying about it So the time to begin praying for your minister and encouraging him is while his sermons are hatching, so to speak; before, not only after, the service. “Prepare YovrulvM” We read also that King Josiah said to the Levites, "Prepare yourselves.” The Protestant Christian belief is that all believers are priests. A service of worship, aa we understand it is not a kind of performance in which the minister up there behind the pulpit does it all while we just sit and watch him. One reason why we get so little out of church is that we put so little into it If you had an interview with the President of the United States, wouldn't you make some preparation for it? You don’t just “drop in” to see a man as important as that And yet people will go to the house of God without the least preparation. They may be well dressed, but their minds are only half-dressed and their souls are more than half asleep. You have a right to come before God with a burdened heart; he welcomes the heavy-laden. But you have no right to expect much from a socalled worship service which you enter with a mind cluttered with workaday botherations you won’t let go. with a heart hardened by pride, with a spirit almost of defiance, as if you said to the minister, I dare you to interest me! “Prepare for Yoor BrotferM** Josiah also told the Levites to prepare for their brothers who were coming to worship. True Worship in a chubch Is not an individual affair, as if each person present were sitting in a separate cell listening in by There Is no point to "public” worship unless thers Is some sharing, some fellowship, some opening of the heart. A service of “worship” from which the people stream homeward without speaking to one another, or praying for and with one another, la a poor affair. What is God’s good pleasure to give us we should joyfully accept No one is really happy until he has found his adjustment to life in love.

The Importance Os Sunday School Rev. J. R. Meadows The different churches of this community asks the parents to show their willingness to help in the following ways: 1— Send your child regularly! Frequent absences ruin the effectiveness of the instruction. 2— Insist on promptness! There is nothing more annoying to the Sunday school than to have pupils come straggling in at all hours. 3 — Help the child with its Sunday school work at home! The time for instruction in the Sunday school period is so short that some work must be done at home. s—lnsist5 —Insist that the child attends the church service also! A child old enough to go to Sunday school > is old enough to go to church and get something out of the service. The only real way to teach your child reverence for the house of God is to come to church yourself. A good example speaks louder than words. s—The5 —The duty of giving! Teach J them while young that they should , have a part in carrying on the Lord’s work. ~ Take your child to church! Lessons learned in youth will never leave him. Give him the best possible foundation. He will go to church most willingly if you go al--1 so. Be in the church of your choice next Sunday. I THIS WEEK’S BIBLE VERSE “Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things , which we have heard, lest at any • time we should let them slip.”— Hebrews 2:1.
