Church Is Spiritual Center Of The Nation And Worthy ot Loyalty BY OCfOBEft GO'TO-CHlrltCH COMMITTEE Welcome to the city and to the churches of Freeport. Tradition has place in the lives of all of us. Consider the pious habits of our forefathers, their observance of the day called ifLord's their stancy In marriage; habits and convictions that we sometime call narrow. Were they not better than the helter-skelter way in which some of us have fallen? The church is the religious center of the community and the spiritual center of the nation. It has often been said that the spiritual condition of people can be accurately measured by the physical condition of their of worship and their Attendance at the services therein.

For to be at church Is ft desire to enroll with the men fighting with Christ for the establishment of Mis kingdom on earth. Your loyalty, as ft soldier of the cross, is displayed by your attendance at the regular services of your church, and is a proclamation plain to the community that you are with the church and her program. Loyalty is the quality and flavor that perfects life. It is the flavor and fruit of love and can come from no other root. It is the only motive force that can bring about the co-operation and unity of all individual beings.

Loyally following our leader, we will all be going in the same direction, to the same guidance and protection on the way. Some day the nations will see that there is a loyalt; which rises above petty nationalism, one which intensifies love for country without doing injury to other nations. It will be the internationalism of Christ's Kingdom of love in the heart! of all men, everywhere. The church of your choice is worthy of your sincere loyalty.
