VOU KNOW,
i've been thinking
4 Church member said, sez I
to myself, as I grumbled
and growled,
I’m sick of the Church! Then
how I scowled!
The members unfriendly, the
sermons too long!
In fact it seems that every
thing’s wrong.
I don’t like the singing; the
Church, it’s a disgrace,
Tor signs of neglect are all
over the place*
I'll quit going there; and I
won’t give a dime,
For I can make better use of
my money and time.
Then aez.my conscience to me,
sez he,
®Th© trouble with you is
you1re too blind to see,
That the Church reflects you
whatever it be."
How cane, pray and pay and
serve cheerfully;
Stop all your fault-finding
and booat it up strong.
You*11 find you;11 be happy
and glad to belongs
Is if* endly and willing, and
sirg eg you wurk,
for Churches aren’t built by
members who shirk.
& thought for'the week: it
doesn’t pay to be in too
great a hurry and forsake
Spiritual matters in your
life, for chances are you
Will pass up much more than
you will catch up with.
