A QUESTION
When Are You Going To Give
The Right Answer?
Every Saturday, for three months last spring and for
nearly three months this fall, readers of The Tribune have
been told to "Go to Church To-morrow."
Many have responded. Ministers all over the city?
and out of the city, too?as far south as Birmingham and
as far north as Canada have told of the excellent results of
the "Go to Church" advertisements. Copies have been dis?
tributed, at Sunday schools, congregations and meetings?
they have been eagerly sought for and saved.
Pretty substantial evidence that the advertisements ar?
worth while?BUI ?
HAVE THEY REACHED YOU ? Have they stirred
you anH probed deep into your conscience, whether you be
man or woman >
HAVE THEY MADE YOU go to Church?even
once? If not, then we have failed. Not entirely, perhaps,
because we believe that you, able to think deeply?to
appreciate and search for the good things in life?have been
given another angle, another outlook on the Church and its
work. We think we have proved that a whole lot of help
and benefit come from attending Church regularly.
\\ here we have failed is in not bringing you inside the
Church door. But why not? Only you can answer that
question.
Have you cast aside the custom and teaching of your
younger days? Have you flung out of your mind?out of
your life?the habit of Church-going?that habit your
lather and Mother once taught you? Are you walled in?
shut off from something that calls for yOMT active interest?
Are you mentally blind.-4
Is your true vision temporarily obscured from seeing
the best way?therefore the easiest way?to assist you to
success, happiness and helpfulness?
A" you answer to all these questions. Then are you
lazy? Are you too lazy to take advantage of something
that will help you every minute of your life? You say you
don't believe the Church can do all that for you?
Look at it in this way: You must admit that at least
one-tenth of the people in the United States attend Church.
This means that one person out of ten who finds out that
YOU dont go believes you have failed (to say the least)
to get f!,e best out of one vital thing in life?therefore their
faith in you is not as great. You are cutting down your
chances of success by a tenth?before you have really tried.
lurthermore. at least one person out of every ten has
a better chance to succeed than you because the Church has
benefited them educationally and socially?made them
stronger, broader, better.
This is the effect of your failure on them. What is
the effect on you yoursclfl We have tried to show you.
You ?an only know by finding out how much you have
missed
Give us vour answer by going to Church. Helping
you to a happier life will be satisfaction enough for us. If
you wll make up your mind to go?if every one went?if ?
every one believed?if every one tried to live up to what
the Church teaches?think of the results.
Can't you grasp the bigness of it all?the steam roller
goodness tl>at would result?
