Fulflls Wish Of Mrs. Wilson


Washington, Sept. "a. - Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson's dying wish that
Congress abolish the alley slums in
the National capital was fulfilled
today when the House passed the
Senate bill which prohibits the use
Of dwelling houses in Washington
alleys after four years from the
date OF the legislation.
The bill now goes to the President
for his signature.
A few hours before Mrs. Wilson
died she told the President that she
could go away" happier IL she
knew the alley slums would be
wiped out. Word was sent to the
Capitol, and the House District Com
mittee promptly reported bill car
rying large appropriation TO clear
the slums. The House did not pass
the measure as reported because of
constitutional objections. The Sem
ate, however, passed another bill,
carrying out an old act providing
for abolition OF the slums. but put
ting the time limit from eight TO
four years. The House accepted
this as substitute, acceptable to
the White House, and it will become
law.

SOCIAL CENTERS

The crying need Of rural Ken
lucky is social centers where our
young people can be entertained,
amused and instructed under the
direction of cultured, clean and
competent leadership, where aes-
thetic surroundings stir the love
for the beautiful; where art charges
the atmosphere with inspiration
and power, and innocent amuse-
ments instruct and brighten their
lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive, as well as the business
of farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social
unit, properly equipped for nourish-
ing and building character, so that
the lives of our people can properly
function around it and become sup
piled with the necessary elements
of human thought and activity.

clay Aside Every Weight"
Berea Sets a Great Goal for Its Students


An enormous audience greeted
Pres. Frost on Sunday night, the
students being nearly as numerous
as in the crowded winter term, and
the citizens completely filling the
space reserved for them. He said in
part:
Three Texts
have thought that a visit would
be more profitable than formal SER
mon tonight, but | will give two or
three texts to begin with. One OF
them is from the Scripture we read
on Saturday-the prayer Of young
solomon, "Give me wisdom that |
may discern between good and bad"
When person begins TO desire wis
dOm-wisdom TO discern between
good and bad-it shows that he has
discovered the difference between
good and bad and that he is no long
er child. But il is TO be feared that
some people never get beyond the
childish age, and never do really
know the difference between good
and bad, and never do feel very
anxious to be able to pick out the
good and to discard the bad
Another text that may help us
tonight is from the familiar words
that Christ put into the Lords pray
er, which we repeat so often-"Lead
us not into temptation" That sets
before us Christs philosophy OF VIC
tory in the world. A great many
people think that II makes no diff

cultivate; what kind of rules we
observe; what kind of company we
keep. II will make us stronger, they
say, to throw ourselves into the
midst of temptation, TO go to the
very brink of sin and then turn
back. That was not Christs phil
osophy. He knew that we would
be strong enough,-that we would
have struggling enough against
temptation, if we fought it at a dis
lance, and he has taught us to pray,
and OF course If we are TO pray, we
are to plan, to keep at a distance
from temptation.
Then the third text here is this
verse that Brother Raine read about
the race. There is the enumeration
OF people who have struggled and
suffered, and who are now sitting
on the bank TO look down on the ath-
letic field, sitting on the great cir
cles of spectators seats to watch
the runner. And the writer said,
seeing them, Wherefore, see
ing we are compassed about
by so great a crowd of wit
nesses, let us lay aside every
weight" These weights were not
necessarily sin, because he goes
on to say, "and the sin, which doth
so easily beset u.s."
Lay aside every weight" Per-
haps that is my main text tonight.

Progress Of Allies.

The latest official report is extraor-
dinarily brief, but holds subdued op-
timism within its guarded phrases
the hint that the allies are breaking
through the German center. The de-
tails accepted by public which mas
perfect confidence in the conservatism
and truth Of its government, point dis
tinctly to progress in the allies en-
dsavor to cut of General Won Kluk's
army. At the extreme left and In the
center the allies have advanced their
lines farther than ever before. At
Rheims the Germans have recoiled af-
Ter the fiercest of infantry attacks and
are maintaining the bombardment OF
the city. Eastward to the ridge of the
Argonne, they appear to have been
pressed backward. There is no def
mite news from the vosges and Lor-
raine. Paris and all France under
stands that shouts Of victory would be
premature. But there is the most posi-
tive feeling that the government bull
letins contain more than meets the
eye.
Excluding all details, It is certain
that the Germans, with fresh troops
and new artillery. have not been able
to maintain an offensive movement be-
gun several days ago at critical points
Of the battle line-Noyon. Craonne,
Rheims and the plains OF Chalons.
Their utmost power has been endured
and repulsed by the forces under Gen.
eral Joffre.
