True - Sunday 15 the day for riest, but there is a kind of rest beneficial to both mind and body not produced by just lying ahed ail morming. Sleep does not fully supply repose that the brain should enjoy. Mental serenity is achieved only when the never-ending burdens and worries of life axre removed. Sweet and peaceful is the rest of those who are able to shake off care on this one day of the week by tumbling into the refreshing waters of religion's *stream. To gather with othexLs of kindred mind in the study of religious truths - to join with them in the worship of a God who neyer stops lavis'hing favor and kindness upon an unapprecia- tive and heedless world- those are ways to gain real rest - a spiritual xlest whose benefits are not ended by Monday's labor. So quit telling yourself that you must reserve Sunday morning for sleep. Stop trying to kid pour conscience with phoney alibis. If you must sleep in the morning, attend service in the evening. You KNOW that you belong in church. There's a seat thexie for every sinner.
