burned to the ground and none of them were being replaced the quartette must have come home feeling that the local farming area was as good as anything they had seen in other parts of the province

preachers and those in the urban places as well want to know why church services are poorly attended on sundays they should read the country correspondence in the weekly newspapers coriunents the whitby gazette and chronicle in one budget alone published in the chronicle recently there were no less than ten references to sunday visitors in and out of a certain place people who leave their communities on sunday to visit elsewhere cannot attend j their local church while visitors from urban places make sunday the hardest day for many coun try women and this is one of the reasons why they cannot at tend church the chronicle may have touched one spot all right why church attendance is falling off but there are other reasons chief of which is a growing indifference of the people toward church worship folks who really have an urge to attend service will be there visitors or no visitors fact is there is no inward urge calling many people today perhaps the service itself has nothing to it that would stir the imagination of anyone and therein lies an other reason perhaps why few er people go they demand more of the church and its minister and if they do not get it they simply say the service does not do me any good and so they too fall away truly there is more than the map of europe under going a change these days about thirty members of jubilee chapter oes held their annual picnic on the farm of mr and mrs herb mitchell at musselmans lake last fri day evening the guests were impressed with the fact that farm homes today are not what they used to be every modern
