Wood in The ('umhcrhmd Presbyterian.) i Tin*re is :t smaller percentage of the people of America today attending |church regularly than tn any age of | mir past history. The time i< almost | here when tin preachers of our day will have to go to the streets and other public places to preach the gos pel if .lestis Christ. We find that the Apostle Paul had to urge the people in his day to as semble to worship Cod. The church was persecuted in every way in Paul's time, but this is the greatest problem that confronts tin* church of Cod to day. If ever then was a time when this text was appropriate, it is now. Paid tells us in J Tim. : 1-5 of the coming nineteen sign* of the times, but in closing he say- from such turn away. Why i< the house of Cod for saken? Will you help me answer this question today? Everything has been done most to get pimple to come to church. Fine churches lane been built, lim- music furnished, good picture- put on the screen, scholarly preaching been had. social program- have been put on. Sabbath laws have been enforced: these have failed to reach the masses. Three fourths of the people of this world are going to hell as fast as time will take them there Wlml is to he done? P.rothcr. here is my theme: Christ conquered this world with love. I My. colil sermons will never reach them: Wiir talks won't : flowery ser mons won't reiieli them: formnlity nor pride will ever reach them: hut the pure gospel of Jesus Christ preached in the jtower find demonstration of the Holy Spirit will halt the throngs. It is the only thing that will. Helmed. I covet not riches or other mens’ gifts. 1 don't want to he fa mous: hut the thing I want is the power of God that moves men and women to Jesus Christ. Thank Cod for David's expression. "I had rather he a doorkeeper in the house of the Lord than to dwell in the tents of the wicked." And again he said. "I was glad when they said. Let ns go to the house of the Lord." Any community will go to the devil when the church is forsaken. Any church will go down When its mem bers quit assembling together. When tin church goes down, everything goes down—society goes down, prosperity goes down, value of property goes down. and. worst of all. the people go down: and when the church goes down, di-dills go up: and when poo file quit going to church they go to other places. J am told there have been three large distills captured in this commun ity. I don't wonder at it. If I were going to start a distillery I would go to a place where they had no church every time. isrotuer. wont no you warn nere ■ Ho you want a distill in your midst V nr do you want do* us Christ in your midst ?

Cod help us to build a church on the ruins of these distills, which ttiiu our boys and break their mother's hearts. I have se<*n the people so many times as they assemble at the Lords house. I see marks of a sad heart on their faces, caused by death of some de parted one. Yes, 1 see some faces I marked with the daily toils of life I as they assemble, some with faces [marked with sin in the heart, faces • marked with a tired, worn body that has toiled six long days, faces mark ed from disease of the body, faces marked with deep furrows of trouble in the cheeks; but after the choir had sung praises to Cod, after prayer had been offered, after (!ods Y\ord is preached—oh. listen, triends, they dmrt look like the same people, hods presence has driven back the dark cloud of life and let the blessed sun shine in. This is the meaning of the text, brother. •losus told Peter to feed his sheep, and this is what he meant : Preach to the assemblies. Here are some excuses offered by some professors : I don t go to church because they don’t keep order. Yet they go to other public places, such as Sunday games, public sales, etc., where drunkenness is all about them, where there is no order, and they never complain. Some sav.

Oh. this genera tiuu lots passed away: they are gone. Ileside these still buildings in the old churchyard their bodies lie sleeping. Friends, our lives, our efforts, our works, our sins really ignore the faith our fathers and mothers lived and died in. God help us to be ashamed of it! If Christian religion is a fake, let us hiini these churches to the ground; let us quit the assembling of the saints; take these monuments away from mother's and father's grave, let the blue smoke curl from these dis- ; tills that make the damnable stuff that will ruin any nation, church or home. Gut if you believe in Jesus | Christ and his church, in his com mandments, forsake not the assemb ling of yourselves together. God help us to be more willing, more zealous, more spiritual, more determined to build up the kingdom of Jesus Christ.' Amen. 11. E. Miles Tells Women Eordnej Tariff is Price-Fixing, Not Pro tection.

Mr. Miles said, and both Re publicans and Democrats are resent ful. The new tariff is a misapplica tion of the Republican theory of pro toot ion. and its beneficiaries simply used their influence in Congress to such an extent that the national legis lators have become “price-fixers" in stead of protectionists.
