This article was published in the Madrid Herald, July 23, 1914. It still holds true today. Suicides, teen pregnancy, bouts with the law can be avoided by a little good influence. The trouble with, some of our churches nowadays is that they haven't the support of the young people. Churches are filled with grandfathers and grandmothers, but they lack the attendance of the young people. None will deny that it is desirable that old persons attend church, but the church is not solely for people advanced in years. The church wants the young people. Is there anything more manly or inspiring than the sight of a youth who never fails in his attendance at church. The girl who picks out this young man for a husband is not making a mistake. He will not depart far from the path of righteousness. And the same applies to the youth who is seeking a life partner. The girl he meets in church, is the girl who deserves and generally gets the best husband. Parents, it is up to you to see that your boys and girls go to church. You are responsible for them and their conduct. The mind of the young boy or girl is easily influenced for good or evil. Going to church by the young makes for better men and women. The lessons they learn will stand by them in the battle of life. Every boy and girl should go to church next Sunday! They should go every Sunday!
