“COME AND REST AWHILE Sunday Discolirse by Dr. Chapman, the Noted Pastor-Evangelist. Why Men Should Attend Church Nation Would Relapse Into Barbarism With. out God's Temple. New York Ciry.—The Rev. .F. Wilbur Chapman, the popular pastor-evangelist of the Fourth Preshyie Church of city, has deliv ered a « non in which set forth the reasons w men should at tend church. He preached from the text, “And He said unto them, Come ye your selves apart into a desert place and rest awhile Mark 6: 31 John the Baptist had been beheaded and his disciples were in confusion. They were truly as sheep without a shepherce The aposties had heard of the disaster and came to Jesus to tell Him all the things that had comé to pase. and then it was that He spoke to them in the words of the tex And He said u them, Come ve yourselves apart into a place and aw hiie for there many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.” I am very well aware t vou this may seem an nap the church 1s a desert sents to ux the reason it, and indifference to 1 too often will not men condition without of death every church where anything for the gospel, where the not preached. and where sented to dying men : be perfect so far as their literary 18 concerned, but without the the heart they are sounding ling symbol in the estimatior ig the great head of the ch the verse which wn of 10 rest TO se oft riste text, for if in itself it pre nARY men » se ms to claims ini ATE AWay be a growing Alas. it i& true t place It 4 1o lead to the 18 a whny the ohn dese help use any in o for to atiey ] Ves esert without habitat: and this is substituted truth is water, and despair vhole ons 1 excellenc ' ROSH : and tink Him who Th gain found pre- ture of the 1 . apostles and eat coming ieisure so 1 represen God's peo the hie here attending true that this is the non-attendants cold world in which men are ne church, and it be altogether the themselves.

The church must be unsaved world is to be dra ol hive, t Smiles, Ww and men have irch which ¥ in vhirszd TP EIA eX t of foo The foliowing reasons for church al tendance been presented to me by men of great renown throughout the coun try, great business men, great philanthro pists, great leaders of men generally, and there i= not one who has written te me but whose name ié known throughout the whole world First—Man needs the church. Tempta tions assail him on every side; there is no man that lives without temptation. The pressure of materialism in these days is terrific, and unless a man has a strong up ward pull, at least one day in the week he will find himself graduall oing down, The commercial spirit of the go is ‘some- thing marvelous to think of, and unless one day at least in the seven is spent in worshiping God the other days of the week will dwarf and starve that spiritual nature which every man possesses whether he is conscious of it or not. The tendency to look down and not up will after a while give the man a halting, hesitating, blind way of walking, while the man whe one day in the week at least looks up and not down will find himself purer and better and stronger. “Men are sure to retro grade and lose ground if they n t the church,” said a man {0 me the other day, have whose salary is 82500 per year. “My pros perity will be my defeat unless I am care ful. "1 find now that I am constantly thinking of business and scheming to in. crease my riches,” and then the tears started as he said, “1 question if 1 am as happy as when I was én a small salary and lived in a very simple way.” Second--The church needa men and the work of God cannot be accomplished with- out It has always been God's way to work through instruments sometimes as humble as the rod which Moses held in his hand and vet as important Moses himself. God means to win men through men, and if the men the day absent themselves from the church of God for the loss of the souls of other men they are held responsible at the day of judgment. Third—Men ought to attend church be cause of the intellectual culture that is there gained. The average man has little time for reading. little opportunity through the week for recreation and lectures and it is the opinion of this distinguished busi ness man that the average sermon will be a stimulus to his intellect. Remember, it 18 so much what you hear the 1m pression it makes upon you and the after effects upon your life. Men may have forget- ten the Greek they learned in college, and the principles of the higher mathematics, but no man could through college without coming out stronger and better in every wav if he were true to his educa. tion, the effect of a sermon rightly heard and received ix to make the life mind clearer, the character as Ol 101 He pass and purer, the stronger Fourth—The fords important me the good order of the community flex influence wn oneself best, and the i uence up i habits and good order. idea of recredtion in church ane the important faithiulne in this distinguished n this.” A change working man ls that he must sleep through the morning because he has through the davs the nd that he i= beginning his than if he had been true to the business man who reads rough most of the hours of the day be he feels that to attend church would of would find that he WOeATY he example of church going af an in I promotin The rc- the on olhers ix cone is of very attendance of moss reasons tor “4 ’ Surely regard writes ii, “church going will rd of occupation is rest and a who feel of toiled fai of Ww will duller t uy eek, week God; while 146 * AR Bense WEAriness ek more to Christ than if writes, ougnt ‘We in order t« ve jee we do wor what the emembered instil it 8 a and eter ution, Sundays 0 knows more of tan the man thi w hoes i WoilQ ang here is pea waters fa Re of Park t sie of the tains the falling tate 107 a mit shall | go!’ This I Divide, and a gust o hether the water shall flow Atlantic or west to the Pa I doubt not but some one is reac hing sion as to what his true relations to the church may be, and if he against the church to be while if his decision favor church all will be well.

Men's lives count for evil. Dr. Munhall, the celebrated evan: gelist, says that before he became a min: ister he went one evening to the theatre just to please a visiting friend, and the next day met Bpah the stroets a youn ment determi east to Cie a de he ix a in of the hfe will him frequently to b® a Christian, The nan looked at him and said, “I never wont you te speak to me on the subject again. I saw you in the theatre last night, and 1 have Little confidence in a man who pro fesses to be a Christian and was found in a questionable place of amusement,” “I never won him,’ said Dr. Munball. “He gradually’ drifted away from the chureh and from Christ, and I met him in the West a hopeless wreck.” I a man’s influ ence may count for evil then who can esti mate what would be accomplished among men if we were true to Christ and truc to the church and lived out the prinviples cf both in our business life, Third--~The home life would feel the im- petus. Mr. Moody used to tell the story of the father who came to his home, found his little child suffering as he had been for weeks and months, e little fellow said, Lift me up,” and he raised him from his bed, and t he said, “Lift me higher,” aad then he held him up for oa moment as high as his armas could reach, when he took him down he wus dead. “He had lifted him,” said Mr. Moody, “into the very arms of Unrist.” This is possible for every man who lives as he ought to live and works as he t to work; is true to Christ and faithful to ch .
