We continue our spring revival by
attending our church worship with
more zeal and regularity. The con-
stant attendance toward any work
Is the life of that work. The great
drawback and hurt toward any en-
terprise are indifference, careless-
ness and laziness on the part of
thf|se who make up the member-
ship of it. The greatest enterprises
in all communities are the churches
of Christ. And the greatest hinder-
arices to the churches of Christ are
/hot the gamblers, bootleggers, mur-
derers and outstanding sinners of
the community, but the indifferent
and don’t-care church members.
