The Church’s Lack of Attractiveness
At a recent Baptist Convention in Sacramento, Rev. P. W. Dorsey, of San Francisco, said he would guarantee that in California there are hundreds of children of Baptist parents, who prefer attending club meetings and prize fights to going to church, and this fact indicated the lack of attractiveness of the church. It does not appear from the report that the gentleman attempted to fix the responsibility for this sad state of affairs. But when the children of Sabbath-keepers take a similar course (which they sometimes do, though not more frequently than others), Sunday people lay it to the fact that they have not been taught to keep the first day of the week. How then shall it be accounted for among Sunday-keeping Baptists?
