CITY PROMOTION
MEANS HARD WORK
FOR SOMEBODY

The previous editorial III this SER
les suggested that the first thing
TO make a town grCw, is to get the
toWnspeOple to work to spread the
good reputation CT the town, as bu-
siness and residence center. This is
fundamental, but it takes time to
bring about results which come so
largely thru mental attitude. Mean
while towns that are ambitious for
speedy advancement usually get out
and hustle for new manufacturing in
dustries.
ii is the feeling of men with ex7
perience in board of trade work, that
almost any town having reasonably
good transportation facilities can get
new industries, if it is willing to
work 1or them. But many efforts
Of this kind are i'll judged.
Factories frequently move out in
to country towns to get cheap la.
Dor.s If they do not require highly
killed help the esuIts may be good
If they do need skilled work people,
the experiment is dubious. Ii q
concern is not adapted to the local
i'y and has to move on, it hurts
the reputation of the town as bu-
siness center. The place is worse
oft than it was before the industry
came.
Boards of trade commonly SUBJ

ing news Of concerns that contem-
pate expansion. They follow lists Of
incorporation OF new companies and
they send letters and circulars to
"a such openings. They find plen-
ty of companies that would like a
new Ocation, but many Of them are
mere tranps that stay only while
they get faYoEs.
A concern that is substantial and
means business VIII usually pay its
ywn way. If it wants a factory, it
should either pay a moderate rem
tai, or pay inlstallments on the val
ue Of the building so as to acquire
it in time.
If a committee Of business men
VIII make a systematic effort 10
find industries worth securing, the
thing can usually be done. Hundreds
of letters may have TO be written, to
adj kinds of posi- bic chances, be-
fore one reply is received worth con
sidering But clerk hire Is not cost
" and persistence wins cut in the
end.
New industries might come here If
our business men had the perseVer-
ance to follow up the matter % a.
conclusion, Too often, after circu-
lars are sent out and few letters
written, a committee becomes dis
couraged and allows the matter to
drift. In that case, the town that
hangs on after others become dis
heartened is the one that gets the
new business. II

REV. G. E. PAUL0WEIT
REPRESENTS THE EVANGEL-
lGAL SYNOD AND NOT THE
LUTHERAN CHURCH

10 the Editor OF Grand Rapids Re
porter:
Dear Sr:-An article of the Daily
-eaoer of May 20, contained state
nents concerning Lutheran church
which must be corrected. The Evan
gelicl synod OF North America is
y, q ~Aur,h OF strictly Lutheran
organization. 1t is no Lutheran
church at all The statements, "form
"a upon broader principles" and
here are many other broad ideas
preached in the new order that is a
great Improvement over the old
church, ALREADY prove this. 1t is
ridiculous TO speak OF an old and a
Lew Lutheran church. For the Lu-
-neIan church is semper idem in
-~~lrH-ts and principles and ideas.
t must be, because its teachings ana
IDEAS are baseu only and alone up
on the word OF God-the Bible. To
chan sc them would mean TO leave
the basis: The Bible. The true Lu-
theran church and a true Lutheran
Pastor viii therefor not change the
doctrines and IDEAS or principles in
Cqoer to appeal to the public or IL
please the public, but will cling to
ri Il
4ounded upon the Word, and thus try
| and save the public. Not to Appeal
20 or please, but TO Save the public
this and this alone, is the object of
| the Bible. And object of the true
Lutheran church and of the Lutheran
pastors of this community, the Rev.
| w. NommelSen and the undersigned
| therefor is to preach and teach the
Word of God in all its truth and pul
ity, to preach Christ CTucified, and
| thus lead their hearers on the right
way to Salvation and to build up a
true, christian congregation, may it
! appeal to the public or not, may it
| be pleased or dispIeased.
Rev. G. E. PauIOweit does there
for not represent Lutheran church
but the Evangelical and the object
of the Evangelical is to appeal to,
and to please the public, to save is
secondary.

SUNDAY WAS FISHERMAN'S DAY

Some one remarked that there
must have been at least thousand
people fishing along the river banks
in the city Sunday. Maybe there were
one or TWO more or LESS. AT any
rate We have not heard of any one
catching a great many fish in the
city-in fact we haven't heard of any
one catching a single fish in the
city. The biggest catch reported was
a good batch of mud minnows caught
with a dip net. Some that went up
or down the river outside the city
limits caught fnsh and others VINO
went to other fishing places were
successful.
The weather man pushed the right
buttons when he switched off the
sprinkling can and turned on the
sunshine. A better day than Sun
day could not have been asked for.
