CHILDREN CROWING UP HERET IM INDEPENDENCE IN TOTAL SPIR ITUAL NEGLECT PRACTICALLY HEATHENISH AS IN AFRICA. In his sermon delivered to his con gregation In Calvary Presbyterian church last SunJay morning Dr. H. Charles Dunbiuore talked of matters, which concern all the people of In dependence. Their duty to the Sab bath day, to their pastor, to their family and to their Almighty he said U not discharged in a manner fitting the final account which everyone wiil have to give on the last day on the flimsy excuses which they make themselves believe are acceptable In , the sight of God. They will have' to stand before the Judgment with these! excuses. Speaking from Hebrews 10:2.", 'Not forsaking the assembling of your selves together, as the manner or some Is", Dr. Dunsmore said In part as follows: "It is a sad commentary on the boasted culture of this twenti eth century, the apparent apathy and Indifference that is generally mani fested by people in general toward the christian church. Attendance at divine service has almost become ob solete In certain communities, espec ially In the rural districts. In fact, as touching attendance at church ser vices and the observance, of Sunday as a day of rest, many people are as practically heathen as any found hi 'darkest Africa'. There are many young men and women who have reached their majority, and wno nave never attended a regular religious service, excepting as it may be an ( occasional funeral. While this state of affairs is much to be regretted, it l even more deplorable when we note the indifference on the part of many church members In regard to attendance at Sunday services. Pos sibly less than twenty-five per cent of the members are usually round ac any regular service, the rest of the congregation being made up oi nou members and occasional attendants. "It is astonishing how trivial au excuse is considered sufficient to keep one from church service, auu. such as would never be considered if the occasion were a party or en tertainment of any kind. Members of churches, who are absent from divine services are doing an injustice to the church, in that no church can be tne influence for good it might be, unless there Is a hearty and universal co operation on the part of her mem bers. It is an injustice to tne pas tor, as he prepares his weekly ser mons with a view to the needs oD his people, and no pastor can do his best work if he has the conviction that only a small percentage of his mem bers will be present to hear the mes sage. It is an injustice to the mem ber himself, as he needs the inspira tion and help that comes from a sea son of communion and fellowship with God and His people. It is also a violation of the vow and covenant each has made when entering into the membership, and which cannot be violated with impunity. And most important, it is an affront to the Heavenly Father, showing an indif ference to His goodness, and a lack of appreciation of the great privilege and prerogative which is for every consistent, loyal member." Laundry Catches on Fire Yesterday afternoon the Indepen dence steam laundry building caught fire for the third and last time with in the past few weeks. The fire caught in the roof on all three occa sions, presumably from a defective flue. Yesterday's fire was of suffi cient proportions to cause'a hurried removal of freshly laundered linen from the burning building to a place of safety.
