THE YOUNG MANS IDEAL
YOUNG WOMAN.
Sermon by Rev. w. r. Jone
LARGE CROWD.

Rev. w. f. Jones was greeted with a
large and appreciative audience last
Sunday night when he spoke on, THE
Young Mans Ideal Young Woman"
A noticeable fact was that large
portion of the audience were young
women, doubtless attracted by the
theme and expecting to receive some
pointers on how TO get a man.
Rev. Mr. Jones was at his best, both
in preparation of manuscript and de-
livery, closely holding the attention
of his audience from start 70 finish. He
took his text from Joel III, %.
He said in part: 1.-THE young man is
made or unmade by his dreams. Youth
is season of dreams. He is looking
forward to the golden age of manhood
full of hope and ambition and as he is
filled with the heavenly visions he Is
lead to higher manhood.
Young people it is your duty TO dream
and create beautiful and lasting ideals
Outside the young mans relation tC
God there is no higher relation than
that to woman.

ALMA. MICH. FRIDAY. APRIL 16. 1897.

Mans treatment of woman is an index
of his own character She is compile
ment of man. 1t is unphilosophical to
ask Of her superiority or lnferiority to
man We as men should have the
highest interest in her progress.
1t is universally true that moral eleva-
tion of a race is measured by the stand
ard in which woman is held. Young
man build noble ideals of woman into
your life for she is your better self.
Women are Of many classes, some are
interesting for five minutes, some for
one hour and some for life.
1t is with the woman who is interest
ing for life we must deal.
Three essentials are found i'll true
womanhood, mans ideal.
lst. Womanliness, that magical in
fuence which gives her so great power. "
Here he made Il strong plea for the
woman to use her abilities i'll the home.
2nd. Beauty that which claims
homage and gets it. God gave woman
beauty to compensate for. physical weak
ness. BY this is not alone meant the
outword beauty, but as well the beauty
! of the soul This is the real power OF
] woman.
3rd Live up to all your possibilities.
Do not despise home duties. The empty
| hearted and headed society woman Is
not the ideal. Neither is the woman
who is drag TO man, but rather she
who is an inspiration.
| The ideal woman is the Christian
woman, one who goes to the Cross with
Mary and learns Of Christ. Study the
bible, here is the book of inspiration
for pure and true womanhood.
The sermon was full of telling illus
trations which added much to its effect

ALMA LADY HONORED.
Elected to the Highest Office
of the State w. r. G..
TWO OTHER LADIES BECElVE
HONORS.

HoNOho.
Some time ago the friends of Mrs. w
S. Turck of this village asked permis-
sion TO place her name before the COM
ing State Convention of the W. h. G..
as a candidate for state president Of the
order At first the request was refused
as Mrs. Turck has just completed two
years term at the head of the Eastern
Star and felt that she was now greatly
in need of rest
Not satisfied with that answer, how
ever, her friends pressed their claim
more ardently than before, at last sue
ceeding in winning her consent to be-
come a candidate.
A short but active canvass was begun
and when the Alma delegation left for
Greenville last Wednesday morning, it
was with hearts full of confidence that
their candidate would win. -Four other
candidates had been carrying on an
active campaign during the entire year,
and We're all equally confident Of sue
cess.
One ballot only was needed to decide
the question as Mrs. w. S. Turck re-
ceived a large majority over all candi-
dates.
Mrs. Turck is not new person i'll the
Corps work since she has held the office
of Department Inspector for one year as
well as serving term on the State Ex-
ecutive Board.
In the local corps she has not been
without honors, having been the unani-
nous choice of the corps five succeeding
years as president.
Her long experience in the work, keen
and practical business, excellent execu'
tive power fit her for the high trust now
imposed upon her.
The citizens of Alma join with the
home corps in heartiest expressions OF
gratitude to the state convention for hel
election, and in full confidence that nC
duty will be left undone while the state
work is under her care.
Miss Lena Turck daughter of the
president, also came in for her share o.
the honors and was the choice of th'
convention for department treasurer
Here to very wise choice has beei
made, us we know Miss Turck to be il
every manner fitted for the high otic'
Of trust. The department funds are IL
the safest hands for the coming year.
In accordance with the power granted
her by the constitution Mrs. Turck ha
appointed as her secretary Miss Mar.
Taylor Of Alma. Miss Taylor is wei
versed in all affairs of the corps havinI
been a prominent member for severa
years. She is fully prepared to meet al
the duties and trying questions so ofte
falling upon the secretary of such a
organization.
The headquarters of the State Corp
for the coming year will be at the beau
tiful residence of Mrs. Turck on Wood
worth Ave, where very cosy oftic
has been fitted up.
