SERr1ON.

On last Sunday May 9Th the Odd
Fellows and Household of Ruth
made one of the most successful
tips to Colfax that has ever been at
tempted, althou ugh they did not leave
until 1915 a. m. and they carried
over IS people with them, the Col
fax lodge was ready with dinner
when they arrived, and not only fed
both lodges free, but every person
that came from Des Moines. This
places new feather in the caps of
the Colfax peoples hospitality.
Close to three o'clock a procession
was formed in front of the hall,
headed by the Newton Masonic
brass band, each lodge looked their
best and we can safely say that the
H. H. of r. of Des Moines never
looked better in their life, the fact
that the band had chosen a funeral
march TO start with was the only un-
pleasant episode of the day, but
they made up for it on the home
run to the hall with pretty live one
on the return to the hall which was
already filled with visitors. We all
listened to a sermon by Rev. Sam
uel Bates of Clarinda, which was to
our knowledge the best effort Of his
life, after taking up a good collec-
ton each and every one turned
home-ward feeling much better for
a day. ...s = -..s..ss---...s.-.4

THE NEED FOR CLEAN MEN,

Ii one were to go to the President of
the United States and ask him to name
the country's greatest need he would
reply in his quick, conclusive way,
"Clean Men" He knows Smart men
there are by the thousands; rich men
abound more than in any other age of
the world; able men are found in every
State and township, but even from a
population of eig hty millions the chief
executive has difficulty in finding the
man of exceptiona! Chan acter for
post which requires square and flaw
less morality. 1t is TO his credit that
he misses NO opportunity to preach
clean manhood But neither Presi-
dents nor preachers nor teachers can
do the work of fathers except in their
own families. We do not mean to un-
derestimate the marvellous influence of
the mother. In most lands men who
reach success gives their mothers the
credit. :'All that am | owe to my
mother" said Lincoln. Ut vas you
who taught me te write SO. You really
did, dear mother" SAID the grabbed
Carlyle. We get our moral qualities
from cur mothers, our mental from our
fathers; say the physiologists, and as
we look back we find this maternal
affection the LOWEST thing on earth.
But isn't there conviction down deep
IA our souls that we should have done
much better If our fathers had taken
time and trouble to share our conf
dence IN the years that counted most?
