THE CHURCH HABIT. 
Cultivate It in Children, Says Rev. Mr. Whita- 
ker, and Grown-ups Will Attend Church. 
«“ One of the saddest things in the 
Protestant church today is the lack 
of the church-going habit among chil- 
dren,” said Rev. J. H. Whitaker, the 
new pastor of the Congregational 
church in Manchester, last Sunday 
night. “Ithink we make a suicidal 
mistake when we do not cultivate this 
habit. It is neglected training.”’ 
The subject of Mr. Whitaker’s ad- 
dress was ‘‘ How to get people to go 
to church.” His remarks were ex- 
ceedingly well pointed and were 
listened to with great interest by a 
good audience. ; 
He said, among other things, 
«There is need of a closer union be- 
tween the church societies, such as 
the Sunday School and the Christian 
Endeavor and the church, and that 
the church should be the object 
toward which all Christian education 
is aimed. 
‘‘We are told,” said he, ‘if we 
have an attractive building, good 
music and a good minister and the 
like we will attract people into the 
house of God. But it takes some- 
thing more than these to fill this 
church. 
«Tf you want a man to go tochurch 
you must begin with him when he is 
a small boy, or else he will be apt not 
to go to church when he isa grown-up 
man. 
«It must be confessed that for the 
amount of energy used in our Sunday 
Schools and Christian Endeavor socie- 
ties the results are very discouraging. 
What is the trouble with our public 
schools? Sometimes our teachers are 
faddish, and subject to certain whims ; 
too many subjects are taken up. I 
believe this same trouble enters into 
our church work. There is a little 
too much effort to extend over too 
much ground. 
“TI believe also that in both the 
Sunday: School and Christian En- 
deavor there is a lack of that proper 
correlation which should lead to best 
results. Too often the Christian En- 
deavor becomes an end in itself, and 
is aside from the mother church. 
‘““We need to have a closer union 
between the Sunday School, Christian 
Endeavor and Junior Christian En- 
deavor and the church, it being under- 
stood that the church is the object 
toward which all this Christian educa- 
tion is aimed. 
“And so I say, if we want men and 
women to go to church we should 
begin in early childhood. It is almost 
impossible to begin on an adult. To 
commence and get men to begin to 
go to church is like working against 
a stone wall.”’ 
Beverly Farms Pastor Married. 
Rev. Clarence Strong Pond, the 
pastor ot the Baptist church at the 
Farms was married Wednesday to 
Miss Flora Barlow at the home of the 
bride’s parents at Pocasset, Mass. 
Rev. Mr. Pond started on his vaca- 
tion Monday and will be away for the 
Rev. CLARENCE STRONG POND, 
remainder of the month. A _ short 
time ago, on the occasion of the burn- 
ing of the church mortgage, the mem- 
bers of the church presented Mr. Pond 
with a purse ot $100 as a token of the 
esteem in which they held their pastor, 
and in a way, as a wedding gift. 
For almost a year now Rev. Mr. 
Pond has ministered to the people at 
the Farms, and has won his way into 
the hearts of all who know him. He 
has the best wishes of his congrega- 
tion and of the entire community in his 
new life. 
Mr. and Mrs. Pond upon their re- 
turn will reside at the church parson- 
age.
