The Emperor hear* tit of this vent a courtier to remonstrate ith the painter, and when the latftr did ot meet the remonstrance commanded im to come to the royal nresenre. "Why ?ve you neglected th?- painting of the r>icire we have ordered?" wa? the question :ern'y put to the arti?t. "I have not negated it. Kir." was the answer.

For the disciples it was "Tarry ye." tfore the going forth to service, and this necessary not onlv in religious lifr. but in I departments of life. In a paper not long fo under the caption "Why do we go to lurch?" the following was suggested: Because it is the fashion. Because it has become a habit. Because it is respectable. Because we like the minister. Because we enjoy the music and other at* -actions. Because we feel lonesome when we do r>t go. Because we sing in the cho> or are offi am ana must go. Because parental authority enjoins it; Bccause it helps business. Are any of these the motives that move )o to attend church? Some of them may ire a subordinate placc in one's actions, jt they should never become a prominent a dominant force. Why should we go to iur??li? For a hundred legitimate reasons, lief among which are these: Brcau?e the church is the tabernacle ot ie Most High. Because it has always been the symboi nd centre of worship. Because He plainly promises to meet us lere. Because we need the help the church afirdi. Been use others need the force of our txmple. ( iieoau?e ot the joy we nna in paoiic ana >cial worship. Because without the church the commaity and nation would soon lapse into bar-' irism. Because close fellowship with God's peole here is the truest road to the life berefter. It is a fact that men are not attending liurch. and it cannot be true that tbi* is Itoifether the fault of the non-attendants iem*clves. This is a cold world in which e live, and naturally the world wants arm words, warm smiles, warm welcomes, arm heart*, warm prayers and the warm jirit of brotherhood, and men have a right > expect thut the church which represents hrist upon earth shall exhibit all of the*e tings. The man of the world does not Lay away from the church because there is x> much of the Spirit of (Sod in it, but ither because there is too little. The lurch mutt be united if the unsaved world to be drawn to it. At the charge of Fort Donaldson in the ttc ivar the enemy's works had been aticked many times by the different compaies.

I would not say. herefore. that the responsibility for nonttendance upon the service* of the church f Ood i* to J>e l>orne merely by thu?e ol s who are inside, but by thoae who u:ioubtediy are on the outside. I. The following reasons for church atendance have been presented to aie by :en of great renown throughout the counry, great buninet* men. great philantbro tuts, great leaders oi men generally, ana here i? not one who bos written to me ut whose naine is known throughout the rhole world. Pint?Man needs the church. Temptsions assail him on every side; there is no lan that lives without temptation. The rhoae salarr is 12500 per year. "My pro* erity will be my defeat unless I am carpal. I find now that 1 am constantly hinking of business and scheming to inrcaae my riches," and then the tears procure of materialism in these days i? torrifif. and udIck* a man has a strong op ward pull, at leafi one day in the we? n? wrjilnallv fro in or down.

"I question if I am as happy as when I was on a small salary and lived in a %*cry simple way." Second?The church needs men and the work of God cannot be accomplished without. It has always been God's way to work through instruments sometimes as humble as tlie rod which Moses held in his hand and yet as important a* Mosct himself. God means to win men through men, and ii the men of the day absent themselves from the ebureh of God for the loss of the souls of other men they are held reHKinwuic at inr vi juu^inciu. Third?Men ought to attend church becau*e of the intellectual culture that i* there gained. The average man ha* little time for reading, little opportunity through the week lor recreation and lecture* and it if the opinion oi thw distinguished basint** man that the average sermon will lie a ttimu)u< to hi* intellect. Remember, it ih not *o much what you hear a* bkc inipredion it make* upon you and tin- aster effect* ujHin your life.

Fourth?The example of church going afford* an important mean? of promotive the pood order of the roir.n.unity. The reH'-s influence upon out>eit is of the very l**M. and the influence upon other* i* conducive to regular habit* and rood order. Fifth?The idea of recreation in chuith attendance is one of the moot important reason* for faithfulness in this regard. "Surely," write* a diatinguixhed man, "church going will afford thia." A change of occupation i* rest and a working man who feels that he ran^t tleep through the hours of the morning because he toiled faithfully through the days of th? week, will find that he if beginning hi* week duller than if lie had been true to God: while the business man who read* through most of the hour? of the day becausc he feel* that to attend church woultf be a sense of weariness would find that he begin* the week more weary than if he had heen loyal to Chrut. Sixth?Another write*. ''We ought to attend church in order to become acquainted with the saving power of Jesus Christ: men ought to attend church to be good, and then they Will be good for something. IT. Tl??? mnt* rememl>?r in our effort* to rcach and to help other*. First?There i? a worshiping faculty in man. .ind it is the climax ot all his other facult>e?. For the eienise of hi* voir*, man has the air. for hi# feet he ha* the earth, for hunger he ha* food, for thirst he his water, but for his soul he mu>t have (iod. John Stuart Mills was one of the greatest men. and he had one of the greatest minds we have known in these latter days, but his early life, his father's blood and his education had drawn him away irom the church.

When she died the light of his life went Tlinr# rinvpp tr>< a *addi?r flotififf to mortal life than hi*. Second ? Men have misunderstood the spirit oi t)i<* (buroh. Cnticum ha* been made that the church i* a class institution existing for the favored few. hut thi* it not true. The existence of the St. Bartholomew Mutton House in this city, where people by the thousands have been reached and blessed; the presence of th?Madison Square Church House, so recently dedicated to the glory of God and the helping of all classes of people i* on argument which directly meet* this disposition on the part of the unchurched. Not lone ago a man went about through the churches clad a? a poor man, plainly dressed, and found that he was repulsed bv no one and welcomed by nearly ali. The church is the greatest factor in the world, but its work in first and foremost with the soul and its need*. Men Lave been disposed to censure as because we do no do what the club does, nor what the lodge does, but it should be remembered that the church i? not a charity institution, nor an educational institution; it is a place for regeneration, conversion and etcinal salvation. The church has a social mission, it is true, but first of all it has a saving mission. We must keep first things first. The lodge may have its place in the ranks of men, but woe be to that man who allows it to usurp the place of the church in his life. After Rossini had rendered "William Tell" for the five hundredth time a com- ! p&nv of musicians came under bis window in Pans and seranaded him. They put upon his brow a cold crown, and in the midst of the cheers Rossini turned to a friend and said, "I would girc all of thu> juet for a day ot youth and :ove, ana i there is many an old man in New York who has passed bis Sundays in the koukc of God who knows more of real joy because of this than the man whose uame is famous throughout the world and count* lus money by millions. In the Yellowstone Park there is a famous point where on one of the peaks of the Rocky Mountains the falling waters seem to hesitate for a moment as if to say, "Which way shall I go?" This point is the Continental Divide, and a gust ot wind determines whether the water shall flow east to the Atlantic or west to the Pacific. I doubt not but some one is reaching a decision as to what his true relations to the church may be, and if he decides against the church he m to be pitied, while if his decision is is favor of the church all will be well. First ? Ilia individual life will be strengthened, he will meet temptation, but overcome it; he will meet trial and rejoice in it; he will have the approval of his own conscience, and this always makes a man courageous. Second?nu social life will feel the impetus of bis decision. Men's lives count for evil. Dr. Munhall. the celebrated evangelist, says that before he became a minister he went one evening to the theatre just to please a visiting friend, and the next day met upon the streets a young man whom he asked again as he hai asked him frequently to be a Christian. The *nin looked at him aud said, "1 never want you to speak to me on the subject again. I ?aw you in the theatre last night, and 1 have little couiidcnce in a man who rirofc*M-s to be a Christian and was founu in i questionable place of amusement." "1 never won him,' said Dr. Muuhail. "He gradually drifted away from the church and from Christ, and I met him in the West a hopeless wreck." If a man's influence may count for evil then who can e*t:inate what would be accomplished among men if we were true to Christ and true to the church and lived out the principles cl both in our business life. Third?The home lite would feel the impetus. Mr. Moody used to tell the story of the father who came to his home, found his little chiici *uitering as he had been for weeks and months. The little fellow sail, "Lift me ui?," and he raised him from his bed, and then he said, "Lift me higher," and then be held him up for a moment as high as his arms could reach, and when he took him down he was dead. "He had lifted him," said Mr. Moody, "into the verv arms cf Christ." Thu is possible for every man who lives as he ought to live and works as he ought to work; i* true to Christ and faithful to the church. Muy God help us all to be just this.
