PASTORSTO MAKE PLEA FOR FAMILY CHURCH GOING Parents Urged to Bring Their Children With Them on Sunday. P*”"— “I ASTORS of the city start out the New Tear on the first Sunday urging parents not only to attend church services but to see that the entire family is represented. A greater church attendance is being urged by ail ministers of the city. Many churches are planning revivals and a week of prayer this month. In behalf of this campaign in interest of larger church attendance, the current edition of the Indianapolis Unitarian Bulletin answers the question: “Why Join a Church?” The answer is printed as follows in the bulletin: 1. The church performs three sacramental offices —Christening, Marriage, Burial. Many prefer, as a matter of self-respect, that these offices be performed by an organization toward which they have n, personal rather than a perfunctory relationship. 2. Joining a church gives one a sense of proprietorship. I attended the Unitarian Church in Pittsburgh for two years before I made my decision. After that I felt it was my church—l was no longer a mere visitor. S. Uniting with a church carries with it not only a sense of one’s right, but a wholesome sentiment of obligation. For a person to visit divers churches in order to find one to his liking is quite proper. But "church floaters,” those who go from one church to another for years and never unite with any are spiritual parasites; for if all people were "floaters” churches would disappear. 4. It is & gallant thing to make a public avowal of your convictions. To “stand up and be i counted” on the side of a cause in which you believe is to choose courage rather than timidity. “God never makes himself manifest through cowards.” 5. Each year brings its toll of loss through removal or' death. Your uniting with the church gives the members and the minister fresh encouragement. Seeing you in the ranks they say inwardly: “The work will go on with augmented effectiveness.” 6. Many wish their children to grow up under the of the church. When the stormy period of adolesence comes to young people a reasonable and reverent religion is an armor against temptation. The surest way to interest your children in the church is to be devoted to it . yourself. Church attendance and I membership is the only practical proof you can offer of such devotion. —D.

* , r : .. y,\ v■% . Christ’s Triumphal Entry Into Jerusalem
The International Uniform Sunday School lesson for Jan 4: Chriiit’s TriMaking Christ Our King. By WILLIAM E. -GILROY, D. D. Editor of The Congregationalism S' “lO soon after the procession that Zacchaeus watched J from a tree, and that ended so gloriously, for him, comes this greater procession that has become known as “the .Triumphal Entry,” which was to end in tragedy for our Lord. Jesus had returned from Jericho to Jerusalem. Or at least when this lesson opens He was on His way thither. He had come near to Bethany, where He had restored Lazarus to life, a place that He loved and where He was himself deeply beloved. It was only natural that the masses of the people should throng around Him and hail Him with joy. And now a strange thing happens. Jesus who has almost persistently avoided the throng, who formerly has gone off In a.boat across the Sea of Galilee to escape the multitude, and wjio has withdrawn to the mountains or deseri in prayer when the people have pressed about Him, deliberately plans to enter Jerusalem in triumph and to accept the homage of the people. What had brought abo\it this change? We may be sure that it was no change in the heart of Jesus himself. He was still the meek and lowly Jesus. He plans to enter the city upon an ass' colt, and the symbolism of this is explained by refer, eifce to the ninth verse of the prophecy of Zechariah. Jesus is not coming in state, but in lowliness and service, and as the bringer of salva tion. He knows that “His hour is come.” He knows that the way of seeming triumph will prove a way of sacrifice and suffering. He has already begun to speak to the disciples of this coming to Jerusalem and of the many things that He must suffer there “of the elders and chief priests and scribes” (Matt. 16:21). , The exultation of the people Is for Him subdued, not only by the sense of popular fickleness, but also by the consciousness that He is going the way of destiny—the way of those who have saved others through giving themselves.

But the inherent dignity of the King of Kings, and the tender affection of His followers, turn the lowly entry into a triumphal march. In “Palm Sunday” the historic scene has been memorialized, and as Easter approaches, before “Good Friday” has commemorated Calvary, the people still throng the' churches and coming forth with palm branches symbolize their joy, aecaliming as did these upon that way of old their loyalty to the King “that cometh. in the name of the Lord.” How deep and real is that loyalty? These of old spread their garments upon the back of the colt. They scattered their clothes in the way, that He might even ride over covered ground. It was a far earlier and a more notable, chivalry than that that led Sir Walter Raleigh to spread his cloak In the muddy path for Queen Elizabeth. What loving deeds and tender Jesus called forth by the beauty of His own love and thoughtfulness! But outward homage is not always the evidence of inward devotion.

Did these who acclaimed Him and who spread their garments submit their hearts? Is the Savior to us a name of greatness, or is He likewise our personal Master and Lord? Do we sanctify only our garments, or is our inmost being brought under His sway? Unless we feel the reality of these questions; and are able to answer them honestly, this lesson has little vital meaning for via. It la fine to read about Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem as it happened long ago, but of what value is it all unless Christ makes triumphal entry into our hearts? We ought not to miss that incident in the verse Immediately following the text of the lesson: “When He was come near, He beheld the city, and wept over It," That tragedy lay far nearer the heart of Jesus than the consciousness of any outward honor to himself. While we join the throng that acclaims Him, let us search our hearts and bring ail ’he soul’s allegiance to His feet.
