DETROIT PASTORS
PRAISE FORD FOR
PEACE EFFORTS

Two Detroit pastors paid tribut"
10 Henry Ford from their pulpits
Sunday for his efforts for peace,
while a third took occasion to make
an argument for national PREPARED
ness.
The Rev. Percival J. Huget declared
that he had little hope of the peace
crusade on which Mr.. Ford has
'tarted accomplishing anything. but
that Mr.. Ford was entitled to great
credit for the attempt.
"ro some people il is joke"
said he, Ito others a beautiful de-
lusion. to yet others an impertinence
and to some great and holy hope.
At any rate, Mr.. Ford is making an
earnest effort to stop the slaughter
and bring peace 10 the world and
that certainly is better than doing
nothing"
How can the mission of Detroit g
peace ship justify itself?" asked the
Rev. Frederick A. White, pastor of
the Grand Rivcr-ave. Baptist church
There Is an excellent reason. The
nations Of Europe have been pre-.
pairing for war for decades, but
they haven't provided for the ma
chinery TO stop IT, In any machine
man ever has made TWO things are
essential, one the motor to make II
90 and the other the brake to make
II stop. Mr.. Ford goes over to The
Hague to provide a court OF appeal
for these warning nations, to act
as the brake"

Cass-ave. Methodist church. said
that for the country &c be unpre-
pared for attack from without was
Just about as sensible as il would
be for Detroit to dismiss its police
and depend on murderers and burg
lars to be good. He epitomized the
creed Of preparedness as follows:
= "If no nation had cause to fear
us as an aggressive enemy. and
every nation had cause TO fear 70

would be alnoa. assured"

Polly was sleeping, but it was more
correct to say that she was uncon-

her breast hardly stirred under her
light breathing. Her face was ashen,
her lips as pale as her cheeks.
Sometimes her husband was afraid
that she had ceased to breathe. The
hours went by. He still sat at her
side. Midnight sounded. He did not
move. With all his power he was will

the night passed, and gradually the

the end of a roll of hair that begins
just at the nape of the neck and folds
