A service, such as was rendered at
the Methodist church Sunday even
ing by visiting team of eighteen

mend itself to the churches of Leon.
Our men who were not there missed
a good service and splendid oppor-
tunity to get in touch with a rapidly
growing movement WHICH - eAAe'-

church. The call and pressure for
men in the church today is so loud
and insistcnt that men cannot COM

team in each of our churches and
then with these teams united higher
moral standards could be created in
Neon. The Gospel Team movement

.mpaign in Wichita, Kansas, about
Two years ago, and it is fast radiating
to all parts of the country. 1t is an
other healthy, stimulating product OF
Mr.. Sundays work. Our churches
need more of the fervor and intense
zeal which characterizes Mr.. sun
days work and workers.
The services for young people
which was to have been held at our
church Sunday evening, but was
postponed on account of the special
service at the Methodist church will
be held next Sunday evening. Spec

At the regular bi-monthly meeting
Of the Women's council in Superior
last Sunday afternoon, held in the

been in great need of for several
years. siT.S .ss.. e., =. \
Among the reforms agitated: are
for an incinerating plant for the de-
struction of garbage TO take place Of
the present insanitary and antiquated
system of the city dumping ground:
This has been agitated for several
years butt nothing definite having
been accomplished because of exz
pense involved. "A better system for
collection Of garbage is also being
urged. These two reforms have been
practically assured:Aby the city COM
mission. ~ E. ri ~ -
A municipal lodging house for
women is one Of the most urgent
needs Of the city at this time as is
also the visiting nurse. The latter
being part of the health depart
ments of all cities which aim to be
of service to the community The
women of Superior are not at all
daunted by the recent action of the
county board in their adverse deci-
sion in regards to employing visit
ing nurse. =, " =, E,
Other matters under consideration
by the council are curfew laws, child
employment, city hospital and the
advisability of aiding in a Chautau-
qua week. :: .:i s:''
The women are first to build a
foundation for their work by mould
ing public sentiment through cam
pafgn of education. BY so doing,

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-The wom-
en- who are arranging for the great
peace parade Aug. 20, announce that
more than 10000 women will be in
line for the march down Fifth ave-
nue.: .:
I'VE feel an imperative need for
expression at this time when the
horrifying spectacle of a world en-
gaged in slaughter fairly unhinges
reason said Miss Lillian D. Wald at
a meeting held to perfect arrange
ments for the parade. 1T may seem
like a feeble thing for us to come
together to parade against such a
thing, but only women can strip war
Of its, glamor, its out of date hero
isms, and see in it demon of de-
struction and hideous wrong-murder
| enthroned.
'By our parade we shall be reaf-
firming our belief in the righteous
ness of peace and the practicability
of arbitration. We shall. be stretch
ing our hands across the water to the
men drafted into service, to the
mothers and wives and children who
are the final victims"
women do not pray and weep in
modern warfare. They get out and
work: Behind every soldier with his
knapsack on his back stands some
woman who must take his vacant
place and see that he and his children
are clothed and fed. ...' 's
Mrs. Mary j. Lease, who once ran
for congress in Kansas, insisted that
the women should march upon con.
gress and demand that exploration Of
food to, Europe be stopped as the
quickest way of ending the war.
