Arouse Themselves.
Dear II. L. C. Friends-I must beg
pardon for intruding so soon again, but
desire to offer a few remarks, feeling
that something must be done TO en-
courage and waken up some Of the
members in order to regain lost posi-
ton.
We see from last weeks page OF The
Sentinel some news in the way of ac-
acknowledgement from the president, and
that he also desires and asks prompt
action on his suggest tons, which L also
earnestly second. Our doubling and sus-
pense has been long enough. Therefore
let every member please send in his or
her choice of ticket Immediately to
our chairman. A. +. Jacobs. Greencastle.
Ind, so that he can make out new
ticket in full from these suggestions
which you are expected to send him.
This is the liberal and republic form,
and the only just one, and the one
found in our constitution. For this rea-
son urge every member to be prompt
in reply, for we all have an equal
voice in our election.
And those persons being i'm the great

final ticket

Dear Howard Friends-Some OF you

Luke since the big dose OF silent con-
tempt administered TO him last year by
some OF the club.

authority has forbidden further discus

the life Of the club which so completely
restored me that I determined TO write
a short letter to the page again. There
seems to be a demand for subject to
discuss. l have none TO propose. but
will hope that each of us will net come
TO the conclusion that we know enough
already on all subjects.
The person that agrees to everything
you say simply to escape controversy

tempt. We have nothing 10 lose but
everything to gain by investigation. Take
nothing for granted. especially that which
pertains to our we'll being in this life

To the Howard Club-Some one sug-

Of different religious denominations

OF the subject.
True love should be the first motive
that prompts two 10 the holy bonds of

each agree TO do something worthy

any possible wrong or unhappiness orig
