KEEN INTEREST DEVELOPS
OUR MORAL TONE

| interested in the highest good of you
town, would it not be worth while?
But church attendance means more
than joining with those of similar in
clination in the promotion If better
standards.
Church attendance prepares for
something better, and accomplishing
that training OF the soul, fitting it
for it's destiny the Inheritance of
eternal life.
Christianity is merely the sense
of separating the chaff from the
wheat, the personal value of dis
carding the husk and enjoying the
fruit, of participation in the good
of the fruit and thus showing others
| how good it is and how easy of en-
jOyment.
Perhaps all church members are
not Christians, but church member
ship holds up attainable ideals; it
fosters the best intent and purposes
OF man, and keeps him attuned to
the intents and purposes of God
We need the association, the uplift,
the inspirational value of church
membership and church attendance.
Those who neglect it are missing
the easiest luxury that crowns life
/ that makes life worth while. You can
have it-Are you getting it?
This is the Covenant That Will
Make, Saith the Lord, | Will Put
| My Laws into Their Hearts and in
Their Minds Will | Write Them"

WANT BIR0N DAM LOWERED

Another contention over the height
Of a dam, this time in Wood coun-
", is also pending. William John
son, a farmer who lives in the town
OF Rudolph, on the west side of the
river from Biron, has commenced a
suit against the Consolidated Water
Power & Paper company for S15, 600
He has also filed a petition with the
railroad commission and the hear
ing has been set for December IL
It is alleged that the company has
unlawfully raised the height of the
dam at BiTon six feet, to the great
damage and injury to the complain
ant owing to the flooding of his land.

Especial to the Daily Reporter From
An Eastern Divine.)
Lies values are best developed
through interest in others and parti-
cipation in some forward work.
Unless our ideals are worked out
in the practical ethics of life, they
lack much of being ideal.
The way to get the best out of
this life is to participate in the crea-
ton of constantly higher ideal,and
in promoting a constantly better com
munity standard.
Unless this city had churches, there
would be a lack of moral tone which
would soon show our city had gone
or was going to seed.
Unless our people participate in
the maintenance of the churchs, in
swelling the membership and broad
ening the church influence, the city
cannot continue TO improve as we
would like to see it improve.
Every individual in the community
has a responsibility toward this NOV
ment of increasing the strength of
the churches of the community.
1t cannot be done by merely ad--
vocating church affiliation- it must
be done by personal participation
Some there are, who acknowledge
the church is a needed institution,
helpful to every community, but fail
TO profit by what it offers.
If church membership were moth
ing more than mingling with others
