A very enthusiastic mems meet
ing was held at the First Presby-
terian church Sunday afternoon. A
good sized crowd attended. Rev.
Charles J. jordan, the evangelist,
at the church, preached the sermon,
taking aus his subject s'Boodling,
Boozing and backbone"
Rev. Mr.. Jordan based his re-
marks upon 1 Corinthians 1913" .Ae-
quit yourselves as men and be
strong" and throughout his address
urged the manly spirit on the part
of his hearers.
EVERY man should acquh himself
as a man at the ballot box. Those
who hold this power of suffrage
are the supreme rulers and those Sc
lected persons, in turn, must look
to the voters for dhefr powers for
they are the servants of the people.
We should look up to our official
force as they have been selected by
us and IT is highly essential that
we should hold them in respect.
Yet they, who have been elected by
the people, have much more reason
to look up to the voter than the
people have in turn 10 look to them.
Every man should go TO the ballot
box and acqutt himself nobly as a
man seeking for the best"
According to the speaker there
ARE very many laws, which are not
being enforced. In this matter the
speaker Thought any man who took
the oath of Office to enforce the
law and failed to enforce it is an
anarchist and unworthy Of the trust
lpleced lin him by the people. II
many OF the laws are not to be en-
forced then they should be removed
from the statute books. They haye
no more reason to be there than
dead animal has to be lying on the
streets
Continuing Mr.. Jordan referred
ito the giant strides whiohI are be-
ing made i'm the present reform
movement Roosevelt, Hughes, Folk,
IIanley are those who are pushing
this movement to the front and now
that many Of these great men are
out of office new men are being se-'
leOted by the people, clean and hon
est men who believe in the enforce
ment of the law regardless of all
lparties, who may not be i'm favor
Of such action. Mr.. Taft believes in
hn -
enable 10 believe that his will be
one OF the great administrations In
the HISTORY OF our country. Every
man should be 'on the band wag-
an," said the speaker, "because 1t
is moving on as never before. The
only way TO further this is 10 urge
all men to see that the laws are en-
forced in every locality"
Rev. Mr. Jordan took up the tenn
perance problem and those problems
which are associated with it and
handled them without gloves He
thought that practically all of the
evils which overcome the men of
today are those which are brought to
bear upon them in the saloons OF
the land
In bringing his REMARKS to a
close the speaker earnestly pleaded
that the men become associated
with the churches "and be organized
for Christian work All should not
be left to the women in the
churches who have taken. so great
a pant in the work. The need is
more men to push forward the great
reforms which are being started by
the leaders of men.
Rev. Mr. Jordan was vociferously
