Wise men saw th' eventual decay o' human development, Wi'out substantial regard fer th' Great Power o' life an' th' universe. Humans need a Strong staff, in this world o' {Hal an' error, in endeavor for fltrvival, t' cope wi' all th' problems which beset a society. ; Some, worship an' abide by [ set o' theories set down by religious leaders, an' ha' their own special way o' recognizin' the' great pne. But, throughout th' world, we find e'en uncivilized peoples, worshipin', in their Way, th' power we know, as God, recognizin* th* source o* life an' sustenance, ; We've come a long way, from primitive customs o' worship, t' 4; point where th' material tered th' picture. Churches, hard on th* vices; encouraged 'em an' brought 'em into- th' ohurches, seemin'ly given consent t' indulgences. Gradually, th' church suffered,, an' instead o' enticin' th' young, aeemin'ly, it encouraged th' H»ttin' down o' rules an' regulations in human b'havior. i In order t' survive, donsolidation o' many divisions q' some dominations ha* taken place, an' th' familiar format we knew, an' p'formed Religiously, is changed, ,an' in qome cases fails t' satisfy our needs. Consequently, many dlders find more consolation, in munion wi' our Maker, in a le private chamber, in th' ie. t it's gratifyin', though, t' Ipow that many folks 're feturnin't' their place o' public Worship. Seems that th' loavenin' effect o' fear, turns folks t' seek a source o' comfort, an' reassurance, an' fere's only one place t' find it.

FRONT ST. McHenry, 111. PH. 385-7747 „ i It may be, that folks, brought up in th' ol' tradition, wi' God in th' image o' mankind, felt that th' church had betrayed 'em. But th' Bible says God designed man in His image, an' not th' reverse. He expected man t' live up t' that image, accordin' t' th' wise sages of centuries past. It was not good, that people developed a fear o' God, an' His wrath. Better that folks had been taught more, that God represented LOVE. In years past, this granny's had confidential talks, wi' prominent pastors, an' men in me own church organization. Countered wi' me questions, regardin' enlightenment fer congregations, regardin' th' image o' God as a tangible Being, I wuz always assured, "It will come, in time, but th' time isn't now. If we took such drastic measures, we'd throw th' entire congregations into chaos. Th' people ain't ready fer it, yet." "We know that God represents a great power, an' that people, some o' 'em believe he exists in form, as a man, but th' world isn't ready t' accept it." "If we'd take such measures at this time, we'd lose th' support o' th' elders, wi' money t' support th' church. Well, seems t' this ol' lady, that when th' time arrived, too many had left th' church, intent on findin' solace in more worldly things. In order t' survive, th' church depends on th' youth o' society. 'Ppears t' this granny that an' honest approach in edicatin' th' young, 's more effective than the mythical stories that were taught, an' found wantin'. This granny can't see salvation fer this country, let alone th' world, 'til th' people git back t' God, wi' respect fer th' Great Creator, in th' proper sense. I wuz reared in church, an' me parents an' forefathers, afore me. Me own childern, an' their childern, were taken by th' hand, in infancy, an' led t' church an' Sundav school, not jist t' attend services, but t' be a part o* 'em. It, surely, ne'er did us harm, but influenced our lives, t' try t' live, in Christian endeavor. Rules o' th' old church, ha' changed, t' accommodate modern indulgences. Use o' tobacco, strong drink, playin' cards an' gamblin' were forbidden vices, an' th' commandments were th' rules that guided us. Modesty, pride in self, pride in work, distaste for charity, an' a determination t' make our lives worthwhile, were goals t' achieve. Seems that, somewhere along th' way, these things ha' disappeared, exceptin' among th' few. Material things, money, extravagances, disregard fer others, material gain, no matter what th' cost, seems t' be th' object o' worship, in this advanced age. It was, truly, a better world, many years ago. Young folk grew up, wi'out th' knowledge o' drugs, an' such, an' strict guidance kept most folks on th' straight an' narrow. Yes, it was a better world. We kept th' Sabbath, th' stores closed, we spent most o' th' day in church. There was an evenin' service t' attend, an' th' choir t' enjoy, 'r participate in. Now, even th' services cooperate wi' th' trend toward recreation, startin' early in th' mornin' so's not t' interfere wi' th' fun, 'r work left o'er from th' week. Guess th' hope is small, fer e'er recoverin' those good days. But God wuz there, along wi' us, all.
