Attendance at Church of Representative Men More Powerful Than Sermons MEN should GO TO CHURCH. What i'B the matter with our men? They are quick to proclaim their faith in God. They will strongly resent the intimation that they are nonbelievers. Vet when they are asked why they don’t attend church they are ever ready with an excuse. If the leading men in this community, one and ail, would start right now to attend church regularly their example would be all powerful. Their continued attendance would be more effective than a dozen sermons. * . IT IS NO EXAGGERATION TO SAY THAT 75 PER CENT OF THE REGULAR CHURCHGOERS TODAY ARE WOMEN. A HUSBAND WILL TAKE PRIDE IN HIS WIFE GOING TO CHURCH. IN FACT. HE WILL ENCOURAGE ALL HER CHURCH ACTIVITIES- IT IQ RIGHT THAT HE SHOULD- IT IS ALSO RIGHT. AND ONLY JUST, TOO, THAT HE SHOULD BE SEEN IN CHURCH. SURELY THERE 18 NOTHING THAT HE NEED FEAR IN THE HOUSE OF WORSHIP. SOME ARE QUICK TO CRITICISE THE PREACHER. IT WILL BE SAID THAT HIS SERMONS ARE DRY. AGAIN IT WILL BE SAID THAT HE IS SENSATIONAL IN HIS METHODS. THE READING OF THE GOSPEL OF THE DAY, THE WORD OF GOO, IS NEVER DRY. NEITHER IS IT SENSATIONAL. * * It is true that we live in a rapid fire age. It is true that minutes count. It is true .that the calls of business? and social activities are pressing. But no man is too busy, none so much in demand but that he can arrange to spend a small part of Sunday in church. ‘There isn't a man who attends church but feels better after the service. CUCRCIIGOING IS UPLIFTING. It takes our mind off the fleeting things of this wor d. OIdUIiCHGOING is not far removed from tin- ?m- tine. GO TO Cliruni next Sunday! GO TO CMI’KCII the following Sunday! GO TO Clil’KVH every Sunday!

E. Bishop of Wawasee Marine | Subply Co., informs us that nearly all the boats on Lake Wawasee j have been put away for*the season and that practically all of the docks have been taken in. The spring fishing, this year, was better than has been known for several years but the fall fishing has been a little slow. Every hotel around the lake did a good business this summer and taken all in all it has probably been the most successful year that Lake Wawasee has known.

SUNDAY SCHOOL. | Lesson Vil.—Fourth Quarter, For Nov. 15, 1914. I _____ THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. 1 _____ i ——— Tex* of th« Lesson, Mark xiv, 53, 54, 6672—Memory Verses, 71, 72—Golden Text, I Cor. x, 12—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. ■ A few weeks ago we saw in the story of Jesus Christ and Judas Iscariot. God and the devil face to face; now we have the same Lord Jesus in the hands of His enemies and the strange conduct, or, rather, misconduct, of one of His most favored disciples. All who are not saved are lost, but He came to seek and to save the lost. When any lost one is convinced of sin and truly receives the Lord Jesus Christ they become saved ones, and all such are equally saved; no one is more saved thau another, for all have the same I Saviour and the same salvation. But I the experience of such as are saved is ! very varied, and the rewards will be | according to service. Some follow fully as did Caleb and Joshua, while some follow afar off like Peter in this lesson. Some utterly rei nounce the world, the flesh and the | devil, while some are more or less cou- | formed to this present evil age. j Some have no confidence in self and i lean wholly upon the Lord, but others : are too often self confident as Peter was when he said, “I will lay down my life for Thy sake” (John xiii, 37). | When the band of soldiers took Jesus and led Him away Peter followed Him | afar off, even unto the palace of the : high priest, and sat with the servants i and wanned himself at the tire (verses i 53, 54). The record in John xviii, 15, j Id, is that Peter and John both foflow--1 ed Jesus, but John being known to the high priest went into the palace, but Peter stood at the door without until John spoke unto her that kept the door ! and brought in Peter. There is growth in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, a blessed experience, of which Peter speaks in the last verse ; of his second epistle (II Pet. iii, IS). There is also a possibility of a growing departure from the Lord, even in the case of a saved person, and that the saved one enter the kingdom saved as by fire (I Cor. iii, 15; v, 5), but according to the words of the Lord Jesus Himself it is impossible that a saved one should ever perish (John x, 28). Peter’s downward steps as a disciple seem to have been his self confidence and consequent blundering, his following afar instead of fully, his sitting in the company of the servants and warming himself at their fire, followed by his profanity and base denial. Earlier in the record we hear Peter advising i the Lord hot to speak of suffering, but nither to pity Himself; on which occasion he was told that it was Satan speaking through him aud that he savored of men rather than of God (Matt, xvi, 22, 23). On this occasion he was again in the hands of Satan - to l>e sifted, but oxir Lord had prayed for him 1 (Luke xxil, 31-34). Peter learned by bitter experience something of the wiles of the devil and therefore could wri e all the more forcefully “Be setter, be vigilant, because your adversary, ti e devil, as a roaring liou, walketh about ! seeking whom he may devour, whom i resist steadfast in the faith" (I Pet. v, | 8,9). j The true Christian life is the “Not I, ! hut Christ,” “Not I, but the grace of God” attitude. No confidence in the flesh, but rejoicing iu Christ Jesus (Gal. ii, 20; I Cor. xv. 10; Phil, iii, 3). The company of the ungodly is no place for a child of God, and it is not for us to walk or stand or sit with them. We do not need the warmth of their fire, but by meditation on the word of G»d may have such a fire in us as the d s- : eiples had with whom the Lord walked to Emmaus (Fs. i, 1,2; xxxix. 3; Luke xxiv, 32). Unbelievers have a great many warming up places, such as the I theater, the dance, the card table, a: d ! too often those who profess to ! e | Christians, and perhaps are. may be found iu such company and yet do not hesitate to sing, “Thou, O Christ, art all I want, more than all in Thee I find.” We should be careful to sing the tri: h as well as speak the truth, for only as we do this is it real worship. That Peter should be ashamed or afraid to confess Christ before the e servants seems pitiful indeed. I judge from bis cursing and swearing that he was probably given to profanity before he began to follow Jesus, and this was a sudden outbreak of the old nature which remains iu us as long as we stay in these mortal bodies aud concerning which we are said to be always delivered unto death (II Cor. iv, 10, 11; Rom. vi, 11). What a look of love and pity and sorrow it must have been that Jesus gave to Peter and which seut him out to weep bitterly, for he was evidently where Jesus could see him (Ln e xxii, 61, G 2). It would be well for us if we wor d always remember that those same ey s a ve ever upon us, searching us through and through, and live by the well of Him that liveth and seeth me (II Cor. xvi, 9; Gen. xvi, 13, 14, margin). Con trust this same Peter, spirit filled, in j the presence of the high priest and the council, bold as a lion (Acts iv, 5-13.; 19, 20), and let us be so filled. Any fear of man Is an indication that the Spirit Is not for the time being controlling us. The fear of man briigteth a snare, but in the fear of the Lot d , is strong confidence. —The Journal has the largest circulation iu the county, excepting Warsaw.
