WHY NOT A
MUNICH Al
he RINK?
Grand Rapids Is Exceptionally Well
Favored for Rink. Other Cities
Have Them.

The revival of ice-skating through
out the country has hit some of the
progressive cities of Wisconsin. Sew
eral Of the Badger cities are provid-
ing ice Kinks for the people free of
charge. Notably among the cities
near Grand Rapids are Fond du Lac
and Manitowoc. Each of these cities
is situated on large body of water
and also upon a river, but they have
not considered the ice surfaces that
nature provides, but have built ice
Kinks where there is no danger of
breaking through and drowning.
Grand Rapids is better equipped to
have municipal skating rink than
any city in the state. All that is nee
essary to have a safe rink is to flood
the swimming pool, put small stoves
in the dressing houses and this city
will have a rink that will compare
with any other and outclass most of
them.
It was suggested when the pool was
built that it be used as a skating rink
in the winter, but nothing has ever
been done in that respect. i:
Ice skating is one OF the most heal
thful out of doors winter sports and
many people in this city would take
advantage Of a municipal rink and get
out Of doors where they are now a
fraid to venture on the river either be-
cause they fear drowning or the cold.
The pool could be fixed up at very
small expense. Why not have it?

A GENERAL SHARE
INULTIMATE
PEACE

Eventually, we shall have peace thru
out the world Eventually men will
understand, men will appreciate the ad
vantages of Peace!
Strife is an economic waste: mis-
understanding is an Unnecessary evil.
which must be overcome with Good
of Brotherhood.
Peace societies are assemblages of
those who 'see not through smoked
glasses" those who understand the
need of Peaee-who see clearly.
Fret not pourself because of evil
doers;" do not worry about the lack
of peace because of someone else: do
your share to make Peace
The present is an exceptional time
to gather in congregations and prove
our faith in ultimate peace.
Today is an exceptional day for the
spreading of the spirit of understand
ing and the development of a desire
for a better knowledge of God
The church is the logical center
from which radiates all that is good,
all that is desirable, for improving the
world.
Each of us must play his part in
this broader desire and better under
standing which will lead to the until
mate good of the whole.
We go on our various ways and
strive with cur varied capacities, but
we are all hoping for the same ends;
We all have the same aim.
For Peace is understanding and
approaching the rights of each.
From every portion of the earth we
hear reports of the misunderstanding
which lead to strife.
Every day in every community, we
see evidences of those petty or great
differences which lead to disturb con-
ditions.
1t all seems so foolish when we
know that eventually the Lord will
Judge people righteously, and govern
the nations" s..- .
Our purpose must be to help-not
hinder Our desire must be to move
forward-not backward! Our aim
must be for good-not evil!
Unless we do our portion today, to-
morrow will dawn with dark forebod-
ings for us all. ."e .... r..~
Each Sabbath is an opportunity for
gathering with others of correct mo-
tives and similar purpose in an effort
for improvement.
Radiating better things proves we
are living in the dispensation of
grace-that is goodwill.
"The peace of God that passeth all
understanding" cannot be general un-
less each obtains it in his own heart.
We must be helpers in the establish
ment of ideal conditions here and now.
This community is a chosen spot.
Are you one of the effective helpers?
Why not?
20 let the Nations be Glad and sing
for JOY: for Thou Shalt Judge the
People Righteously, and Govern
the Nations upon the Earth!
