' Ah winter approaches a few words concerning church attendance will, 1 think, be appropriate. It the weather Is not too cold or rainy.for me to follow business or nlcasino pursuit> during the week. It is not too had for mo to attend church on Sunday. The truth is, church attendance ought to have first place, since Christ gave pro-eminence to seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Clear, cold weather, of which we often have au abundance, is invigorating to those who are enjoying reasonable health, provided they exercise prudence ta dress, and so the fact that It is a cola day is in many instances no valid ex cuse for being absent from God's House. Men will often be satisfied with our excuse a. but reasons only will satisfy God. Some excuse them selves from church attendance on ac count on having company. Either in vite your company to go with you, or ask thorn to excuse you while you at tend your church service. If you think your visit to a friend or relative will prevent their attendance of church, better postpone that visit, and go when you will not interfere with Uioir church duties.
