Uses of The Church

1935

The Church is not a refrigerator for preserving perishable piety. It is a dynamo for charging human wills with power. The object of the church is not to tell men how to dodge difficulties, but to furnish strength and courage to meet them. The business of the church is not to furnish hammocks for the lazy; it is rather to offer well-fitting yokes for drawing life's loads. The man who does not attend any church practically votes to do away with all churches.

Why not accept the invitation and COME TO CHURCH NEXT SUNDAY?

—D. CARL YODER
