Is This You ??? 7/7 Thursday Thoughts

In the average church service the most real thing is the shadowy unreality of everything.  The worshiper sits in a state of suspended mentation; a kind of dreamy numbness creeps upon him; he hears words but they do not register, he cannot relate them to anything on his own life-level.  He is conscious of having entered a kind of half-world; his mind surrenders itself to a more or less pleasant mood, which passes with the benediction, leaving no trace behind.  It does not affect anything in his everyday life.  He is aware of no power, no Presence, no spiritual reality.  There is simply nothing in his experience corresponding to the things which he heard form the pulpit or sang in the hymns.
