The Door of the Church
Is Always Open
!
“What does the Lord thy God require of thee but to fear tha
Lord thy God, to walk in all Hi* ways, and to love Him, and
to serve the.Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy
soul. To keep the commandments of the Lord, and His stat
utes, which 1 command thee this day, for thy (rood.”
' —Dent. 10:12:13. ,1
HAVE you ever stopped to think just what privileges and advantages are ac
corded us in our daily life and just what we are doing in return for all these
benefits? Have you ever stopped to think that we may not be living up to
our part of the contract? Divine Providence had defined certain things which
we must do in order to enjoy a happy and successful life and not interfere with the
life of our fellow-men. These principles are simple, but sometimes hard to follow with
out being bolstered up on many occasions. The principles of life have been revealed to
us through the Bible and the church has been established as the means of helping us
follow the instructions which have been given. The process is simple and the results are
certain.
The church is the one avenue through which the principles of Christianity are
spread throughout the world, and through which we may be guided and helped in
our travel through life.

This is the judgment of a group of Omaha men and institutions, who have arranged for a pro
gram of appeals for church attendance. The appeal published herewith is eleventh of the series.
