Why Men Should Attend Church Nation

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

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,

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

but overcome it; he will meet trial ang

dan courageous,
Second His social life will feel the im
petus ot his decision. Men's lives count
for evil. Dr. Munhall, the celebrated evan:
gelist, says that before he became a min:

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 . May
God help us all to be just ¢ ia
