Appetite Or Digestion?
When a member of a prominent church in England told the minister that he would have to be excused from attending evening service on Sunday on the ground that he was able to digest only v.ne good sermon a day, the dominie remarked:
"I suspect that it is the appetite which is at fault rather than the digestion.”
Which leads me to remember another statement I read a few days ago—a question. It ran like this: ‘‘Who filled your place at church last Sunday?”
This matter of chu.cn attend_a.nce is—something— a! such—dras- . tic transition as this particular day presents. 1 com.' upon people now and then who stoutly undertake to defend themselves with reference to churc/i attendance. I do not raise the question. They raise it. They seem to Ire greatly embarrassed that they are having to defend themselves.
There are some people who can’t attend church. Everybody that knows anything about their circumstances understands why they can’t attend church: No defense is needed.
Most people who do rot attend churcTi have no valid teason, and everybody that knows them understands that they have no valid -reason.
