Our Government Rests Upon Religion. | Ttl is from religion we derive our reverence for truth and justice for equality and liberty -and for rights of mankind. The government. of a ligion of a country. There is no way by which authority of law can be substituted fo rthe virtue of man. We can, of course help to restrain the vicious and furnish a fair degree‘ of protection by legislation and poilice control, but the real ' reformation which society in these days is seeking wil lcome as a result of our religious convictions or they will not come at all. ‘ : = This means that when we help promote the spread of the gospel-'-a‘nd the power of the church we are actually doing the most important piece of constructive work possible to be done for our country.. | . _The part we may have in this great enterprise of building 'up societies chief source of strength the Church may, be a very humble part, ‘may: not be more indeed than being faithful in church attehdance, but it is a very great and importants part none the less, for it results in making secure the structure of a nation’s life and contributes directtly to the well-being of the whole people. To be negligent and unfaithful is so simple yet so important a service as both to rob one's self of the deepest satisfactions of life as well as to help defeat the highest good of the ‘who'l’e people; ‘ : If the strong fabri¢ of our national life is based upon religion then for a church member to be indifferent to- . ward his church, and careless of his support of its life is for him to be a traiter both to God and to his country. : . Come to the Christian Church Sunday the subjects that will be discussed will‘be, morning “The Perfume of Love’ and evening “How to be less than a Man.” The evening speaker _Mrs. Grist from St. Louis. is a national _gpeaker so do not miss her address. o Ira C. Boyts, Pastor
