Opening his address the preached said that there was no doubt that in this age

of movement and of strenuous economic struggle, church going waw not popular with the mays of people. The last twenty years had seen immense changes in all spheres. of life, and in nothing was the change more striking than in Sunday observance. In discuss ing the matter one always had to bear in mind Christ's words that, the Sabbath was made for man," An increasingly large number of people were of necessity working on Sunday, and to others it was the one opportunity for out-of-door recreation. Preaching was not con- Bned to the pulpit, and novelists and publicists dealt with subjects formerly the monopoly of the clergy. Broadcasting also offered, in England, splendid music and s sermón by a notable preacher in stead of the far less pretentious service of the parish church. A certain fear of hypocrisy and a sense of the difference between what the Christian religion de manded, and what many church people practised, kept many from public worship. But mankind was curiously complex, and while incon- sistency between theory and prae-ships granted the tise of religion was common, con acious hypocrisy was rare. There was nothing more dangerous and unjust than glib and shallow a cusations of hypocrisy.

Worship An End In Itsell "But the main point I wish to make," said the preacher, "is that worship of God is not as means to an end but an end in itself. It deals with the great realities at hfe with the contact between God and man. We don't necessarily be come better by going to church, and to hear a-good preacher or iné music should not be the primary object. Worship is a fundamental need of the human soul," Man | was created to glorify God, and to enjoy God.

The quality of joy was a gift of Christianity, and something deeper than either ples sure or happiness.

Christ's own words were "your joy no man taketh away"--Chris- tian joy was beyond the material conditions of life.

No man was sufficient to himself. Men must have not merely their own kind on whom to bestow their affections but beyond that, the ideal of "God the Father, and all that phrase involved. Public worship was a form of expressing this ideal of the perfect Being which psychology found to be a need of the human mind. But put- lic worship was nothing apart from the personal religion of the wor- shipper. Empty ritual, such as that practised by paganism, was attempting to use God for your own enda.

Pablic worship was a thing. which Christianity shared with no other faith to anything like an equal de- gree. It called men together to do bonour to God, it was the founda- tion of the idens of brotherhood upon which the modern world was being built.
