But not one of us would concede that this command is observed as rigidly as we know it should be. In keeping holy the day which God has commanded us to keep holy, there is not only implied that we should refrain from doing those things which are contrary to that command, but that we should keep holy the day by worship of Him. God, through His Son has given us the place to worship. He has also given us the command to worship Him. God designs that we go to church. If we cannot have more regard for His command and His church, we are not worthy of receiving the blessings which He gives to us. He asks but one day a week. Six days He {jives to us. The day He asks, we know, if we consult our souls, is best observed if we GO TO CHURCH This advertisement has been authorize d and Is being: paid for by the Associated Churches of Harrisburg.
