Why I Go To Church
OING to Church is part of the obedi-
A. ■ ence ybu owe to God. A
Tr The Commandment, says, "Remem- tr
ber the Sabbath Day to keep it Holy."
If I wilfully refuse to participate in public
worship and disdain to listen to the preaching
j of the Gospel, I sin against God as truly as if i
y\ I stole or committed murder, for I break one of f\
His Commandments and despise His Word.
