1.-THE COMMON GOOD"
BY REV. R. B. WALKER

ing is a life on wings, bearing
the individual up to greatest en-
joyment. But such always find
that selfishness is only a crawl
ing insect that never leaves the
ground. There is more real
pleasure in sharing with the
other fellow than in hording
many riches.
Selfishness with it's constant
cry of "me, me, me" is the most
lothesome thing in the world.
1t is blighting in it's effect upon
community life. No city can be
great until its people are ultruis-
tic, until the individual gain is
sacrificed to the common good.
There is no more desirable place
Of residence than a city where
public-spirited men abound. Leta
man throw himself with enthusi-
asm and devotion into community
life, and he will ultimately come
to feel that he has 80 much at
stake that it is worth his while
to go on as a wide-awake, devo-
ted, public-spirited citizen. Citi
zenship Of this sort increases
manliness, broadens the horizon,
and in every way develops a
strong personality.

What makes a city great? Is
it industrial prosperity? Educa-
tional advantages? Enjoyable
climatic conditions? It's beauti-
full climatic conditions? It's
beautiful parks, homes and in
stitutions? Yes. but more than
these; the cause of these, for in
the last analysis. the secret of a
city's greatness is in it's men
and women. Alfred 2. Graves,
an English Poet writes:
Men. not walls, make a city;
III befalls when men are few
A city is a living thing. "A
city is more than it's dwellings,
stores and factories. 1t is a mood.
It is the dominant spirit Of the
men and women who dwell
therein. 1t is the expression Of
their ideals. 1t is men, not
walls that make a city," A city
is the crystalized character Of it's
inhabitants. 1t is 4 commentary
on their tastes, their ambitions,
their lives.
Every city needs as the key
note Of all progress, public-spitit-
ed citizenship. Aspublic spirit
ed man is one conscious of his
relation with the community,
and desirous Of civic betterment.
Men and women become public
spirited when their interests ex-
tend beyond their own affairs.
Publicaspirit and unselfishness
are kindred virtues. Travellers
in Japan are often startled to
hear issuing from the forests
the call: Me, me, me-" Inves-
tigation reveales the cry as a
call Of the Me bird. One does
not have to travel in Japan to
hear such 4 cry. The Me-bird
lives in the characters of men in
every community. The Me-bird
Of selfishness is not uncommon.
Some people are concerned in
the affairs Of the community
only as their own interests are
at stake. The common good,
the interests of the other fellow
these are issues foreign to mind
and heart. The Me-bird of Jap
an is only an insect, the call be-
ing produced by the rubbing of
useless wings as the creature
crawls about. Oft times people
fancy that a life of selfish seek

DEATH AND FUNERAL
OF CHAS. STEVENS SAD

Bombay, May 4th.-Chas. Stevens, a
popular young man OF this place, who
was brutally murdered, was buried on
Sunday afternoon at three O'clock in
the city cemetery.
He was prominent member of the
Woodmen of the World for several
years.
An immense crowd of loving friends
and sorrowing relatives. gathered at
the Stevens home and at the ceme-
terry to show their last respects to
their friend and companion.
The Woodman march and ceremony
was very beautiful.
Charley" as he was affectionately
called, by all who knew him will no
longer be seen at his fathers market
dressed in a white butchers suit, but
we al hope to see him in the sweet
bye and bye dressed in the Heavenly
robes of white, where murders do not
enter and thieves modest.
In the midst of life, with loving
friends to strew his pathway with
roses, he was in death.
Only he who doeth all things well
who giveth life, must know when one
of his must return to his creator.
He is survived by father and
mother, a sister and brother and wife
He was married two years and
half ago to Miss Annie Redmon, one
of our most popular young girls.
Our town and county now feels the
loss of one Of the most moral young
men it has ever had.
