Two Reasons.

A Chicago pastor seeking for reasons why men do not more generally go to church on Sunday, received several answers, two of which we give here:—

“A clerk says that Sunday is his only chance for recreation, exercise, a breath of fresh air, and communion with nature. He frankly avows his intention of continuing to spend the day on his wheel. A drummer says in substance: ‘When athletes get together, they talk athletics, artists talk art, politicians talk politics, and they do it as if they meant business.’ He declares that he has seen no similar disposition on the part of Christians to talk religion. They will get enthusiastic over church socials and pink teas, ‘but that seems to be about their limit.’”
