But a few months of faithful attendance, and many thoughtful evenings with the Bible will give you a clear understanding of what others have found in Christianity. You’ll discover spiritual truths which centuries of experience have proven, and gain a faith that can bridge the Unknown.” At last report, our chemist was mak ing fine progress in his experiment. In fact, he no longer thinks of his religion as experimental! THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . . ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greafest /ac tor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and sup port the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and ma terial support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily. If Book Chapter Verses Sunday.. I Kings Monday. Psalms Tuesday .
