CHAPTER IX.
Odds and Ends, Including Prayers.
When the days begin to grow hotter and longer most people plan to leave the City. Whether they go to the seashore or to the mountains, to the lake district or some quiet village, they carefully (or so it seems to me) put away their religion along with their winter clothes.
You will find people who are regular attendants at their respective churches all winter long staying away from church, Sunday after Sunday, throughout the summer.
It makes not the slightest difference whether Jew or Gentile, Catholic or Scientist, they all stay away more or less during the summer, and even at Camp, when the call to prayers is sounded, they come in a half-hearted way.
