Excerpt from Why Men Do Not Go to Church
Why men do not go to church," is one of the burning questions of the hour. Its fires force their way into the heart of every earnest Christian man. He is compelled to recognize it as a problem which demands his clearest thought, his most consecrated service, and his holiest prayer. The heroic soul is always in peril of having his anxiety and activity called pessimism instead of heroism. It is courageous optimism to face the facts.
If a blind man falls into the ditch, pity him; but if a man wilfully closes his eyes and refuses to see the ditch, he is a criminal. He is not a pessimist who has eyes. He is a pessimist who has lost heart. A wise man holds a lantern at his feet and sees the precipice and yawning chasm.
