The Town a Large Family.

A town is like a large family. We
are all interested in each others
welfare, or should be. A cut-throat,
every-man-for-himse policy means
ruin for any community. 1t means
retrogression and failure. The first
lesson that any family must learn is
that to be happy and successful is
unity and mutual assistance The
same applies to the business life of
q town and the more generally it is
obeyed the more abundant will be
the towns prosperity. Stand by each
other and patronize the home folks.

interesting and forceful lecture be-
fore a small audience at the Metho-

The lecture had to deal with civic
and moral problems and showed the
thorough knowledge OF his subject
his ability to handle it intelligently
and his power as a speaker. 1t is
to be regretted that it was not
heard by a larger audience.
