Most men who have forsaken the church will agree that they have forsaken \Vorship. They forget God. So the issue turns on whether worship is worth while; and this depends on some matters of faith and fact. Is there a personal, benevolent God working His will in the universe,- one with whom the spiritual man may enter into conscious and ennobling fellowship?A matter of faith. But man is self-creative, possessing wonderful powers to make himself what he ought to be and to add much to the volume of goodne. s s and happiness in the world.- These are facts. The religion of Christ is that man can draw from God the power to develop splendid character and to give impetus constantly to well-doing in the world.This is worship. And since these finer things cannot be attained without the expenditure of time and effort, we need spiritual culture even if we do not want it; and to meet with God and with our fellows in the church Qn Sunday is a reasonabl~ means to the highest ends. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ial he R.
