[Universalist Leader.]
While the faith of some inside the church is weakening and there is real anxiety at the seeming portent of loss of position and power for the Christian church, there are wise men outside who are coming back to the church as the only way of individual, social, national, or world salvation. The note of confidence which the pulpit has lost the secular press has caught. But recently in Leslie's Weekly there appeared a plea for church attendance. After exalting the sermon as an instrumentality of power, it says: "But, aside from the sermon itself, be it inspiring or otherwise, people ought to go to church to worship God. Should there ever arise a generation that forgets to worship at appointed times and places, moral advance will have received its death-blow. It is instinctive for man to worship a power higher than himself, and it is the Christian church which conserves the instinct. The church has always been too closely identified with the moral and intellectual progress of mankind to allow its influence to languish. Can there be an easier or simpler way for every man to lend a hand than to have a revival of the good habit of church-going?"
