SUNDAY DONI’S

Don’t stay away from church be cause company came; bring them. ■MB Don't let the Sunday paper keep you; we have something better. Don’t stay ajvay because It rains. ■That would npt keep you .from business. Don’t stay away because you won’t be' missed in the crowd. God misses you. Don’t stay away because jt isn’t your denomination; the same excuse would keep you out of heaven. Don’t stay away because you have no Influence; the churchgoer preaches a sermon as long as the way thither. Don’t stay away because you know more than the preacher; God may have something to say to you worth hearing. mm . G Don’t stay away because the church does not need you; never did the church need more and better men and women. Don’t stay away because the church is imperfect; should you find and join the perfect church, its perfection would cease. Don’t stay away because you do not need the church; ’tisn’t so. If you must look at the dirt six days, take one to examine the clouds. —Christian Age.
