My Dad's Thoughts on the Church Part 2

MY DAD'S THOUGHTS ON THE CHURCH PART-II

Gods house deserves as much care and attention as

our own –

and more

.

This

is

the conviction of the

people

who attend the

little white church on the

corner

.

From a close inspection

of their church, it is

evident they mean what they say

.

Upon

entering the

basement, the fresh smell

reminds the visitor

that

somebody remembered to air

it out well during the

week

.

The pictures and charts

on the walls glisten

with obvious

care

.

”Cleanliness

is next to godliness”

may or may not be

true, but

Godliness makes

cleanliness, and these folks have

it

.

How the

children must enjoy, for instance, that

classroom in

the far corner

.

It’s brightly patterned

curtains and

pastel-

colored walls would make any child – or

adult

as well

break out in cheerfulness the moment he

stepped

inside the neatly arranged little room

.

It is

obvious that the shining, dust-free varnish

on the

chairs

and tables is kept that way by

systematic,

weekly dusting

and polishing; The

inevitable

scratches that appear

wherever children

congregate

are kept out of sight by an

occasional

touching-up

with scratch remover
