EVERYBODY GO TO CHURCH ON . DECEMBER 11th ! i One of our citizens who seldom ; goes to church, on being invited to ; attend sen-ices on the above -date, | said, "Every Sunday ought to be a ; go-to-church Sunday." At least a part of the measure of our manhood I is -the response we make to the ,> , "ought-' implanted in the soul. To ' violate this moral imperative is to ; stand condemned before the judgment r bar of our own conscienceThe church has a message to help ; us escape the judgment of conscience ^ as well as the judgment of God. It's ; announcement has to do with the way > of life that a man may live more ful- K f iy- x, H ..
