Monroe City Entertains Guests and
Provides Good Entertainment.

angle and the members of the COM
mittee. Messrs. Robey, Thompson,
Carson. Yates and Conway are to be
congratulated on the entertainment
provided.
The crowd was not as large as ex-
pected, but the farmer friends of
Monroe City could not be blamed
for working, as they have already
had too many holidays this sum-
mer. Early in the morning people
began to arrive in town in buggies,
autos and Oh the trains and by
evening the streets were packed.
The Palmyra band furnished the
music, and a better organization is
not to be found anywhere close
around, and the citizens of Palmyra
should feel proud of their band boys
From 10 to II a. m. the band gave
an open air concert which was fol-
lowed by a free show. Then dinner.
At p. m. Dare Devil Dave made
his death defying slide from the ele-
~vator. The slide was scheduled
from the top of the water tower. but
owing to the number of wires and
trees it was impossible to find a
landing place. and Mcfarland
brothers came to the rescue and
offered their elevator for use. The
slide was thriller and everyone
was pleased.
The next feature of the program
was the speech by Hon. j. P. Boyd
of Paris. Attorney VIM. Fahy in
troduced Mr.. Boyd to the crowd and
in his introduction gave some time
ly and mighty good advice. Mr..
Boyd spoke for about all hour and
our only regret is that space pre-
vents the printing in full. He has
the happy faculty of being able to
hold the attention of the audience
and giving them some timely things
to ponder over.
Immediately following Mr. Boyd's
address the automobile parade was
pulled off. This did not prove to
be as gorgeous affair as anticipated
only four cars participating. Mr..
Woodson. Mrs. Longmire, Mrs.
Vaughn, Mr.. Angus. The cars were
all decorated nicely and the judges
had a hard matter to decide ON the
prize winners. Mr.. Woodson was
finally awarded first and Mrs. Long
mire second The committee
wishes to thank all these people for
taking the pains and trouble to try
and make the celebration success.
The ball game-Shelbina VS. Mon
roe City followed and a complete
write up of this will be found in an
other column.
At $50 p. m. Dare Devil Dave
made another slide followed by an
other free street show. At 7:30
the band gave another concert and
from the applause rendered evident
ly were greatly appreciated At 8
p. m. the program was concluded
Thus ended the Fourth of July
celebration at Monroe City.
Miss Virginia Bell who taught the
past year in one of the schools in
Chicago, and Miss Cordelia Coontz
arrived Thursday to spend the sum-
mer with DR.. John Bell and family.
Miss Bah Bell also came the first
of the week to spend month with
her parents. Miss Bell is a lecturer
for the state board of Agriculture at

union committees. New ideas are there
by gathered and greater enthusiasm
evoked. Every. society should have a
union committee to stimulate the in
terest of the society in the work of the
various unions of the Christian En-
deavor organization
A grave responsibility rests upon the
individual society to encourage and
help the work in prisons and hospitals,
which can only be successfully car
ried on by united effort.
And so responsibility exists for the
promotion of union mission study
classes, for union mass meetings and
for union Christian Endeavor choirs. In
these and other union movements of
Christian Endeavor are the great op-
portunities for enlarged and benef1cent
service
Above all stands the United Society
OF Christian Endeavor. with which
every society should keep in close and
loyal touch. 1t is from this head that
the plans and encouragements for work
are derived. The church society can
do but a small part of the work to be
done by Christian Endeavor. 1t is only
through our unions that great and far
reaching results can be attained

tics for God, the latter definition will be-
come obsolete and the former will again
correctly interpret the term. If we trans
form politics from political intrigue into
an ethical system Of government by the
state or nation we will change the poit-
ical unit from the party to the individual.
The present-or, shall ! say old-system
Of party organization has partially, at
least, destroyed the direct relationship
of the individual to the state, and this
has provided the opportunity for poll
tics to become bad and so lose its good
name.
AS in the civic life, so in the religious
life, men who were in direct relation
with God have established. organizations
for the administration of His service.
but these very organizations have often
defeated their own purpose by seeking
to displace the direct relation of~the in
dividual with God, with allegiance to the
organization. Thus has been developed
church politics, denominationalism and
religious prosecutions. and thus have
churches and societies organized for
Gods service missed their opportunity
for usefulness. OF course, this is not
true of all churches. but it is notable
that the great reformers In the religious
world have without exception sought TO
establish or re-establ'sh. the direct re-
lation between God and the individual

those who may not have seen his ar

The approach of Good Citizenship

sestion that unions of young peoples
societies are much like the union of the
forty-eight states. BY joining hands to
form the United States of America, the
thirteen colonies secured for themselves
portunity to develop their resources.
Since then union has made 1t possible
for America to occupy it's present place
In the world as an exponent of peace
among the nations, Of humanitarian
principles by nations when at war, of
freedom of weaker nations from op-
preston by the stronger, of the open
door in China and of the preservation
of South and Central America from
designs of foreign powers.
Such union organizations as those
supported by the Christian Endeavor
movement are like the greater union
between the states. And each society
receives from allegiance to the union
"a genuine benefit, direct or indirect
The weaker societies are strengthened.
spired by a sense of the fellowship and
power inherent in the union. Acting to-
gether makes it possible for the young
people to present united front which
might be a failure without union-for
