In this essay, Theodore Roosevelt urges the reader to attend church, arguing that church attendance is vital to the vigor and life of a community. “[A] churchless community, a community where men have abandoned and scoff at or ignore their religious needs, is a community on the rapid down grade.” Roosevelt also exhorts the church to work for “for the practical betterment of mankind.” Even if the sermon is not good, he notes, the churchgoer will benefit from being part of a community dedicated to the good of others and being in a position to work for the good of those in need.
