Reasons for Not Going to Church by J.P. Struthers (II)

This woman has given up going, because, "The church is so empty," and it is "so depressing;" and she is "always meeting people who have the same feeling," and like herself "prefer to stay at home on Sabbaths and read their Bibles."

"And it is so different from what it was" when she was young. She often sits and thinks of the days "when the Church was crowded to the door," and she and others "had many a time to sit on the pulpit stairs. But there doesn't seem to be the same earnest spiritual life that there used to be."

Thou hypocrite!
