CIean-Up.

Now let US give the war rest, the
route, the seige, the sally and gayly
shed our coat and vest, andgo and clean
the alley! Lets gather up the dogs
and cats which have this life departed,
and let tin cans and bricks and hats off
to the dump be carted. In Winter
you can voice your views, which you
believe important. and base long SER
mons on the news, but in the spring
you'd ortn't. The able bodied man
should whoop the cleanup" slogan,
and chase the old tamato can, the
cast.off hat and brogan. So let Us
clear out bullying brows of trifiing thots
and narrow, and gather up the old
dead cows, and work and rake andhar-
row. The rubbish left by careless men,
and lazy human cheeses, will bring q
host of germs again. and they will
bring punk diseases. And forty billion
flies will come, as many microbes
bearing. and round our weary heads
they'll hum. and keep us busy swear
ing Clean up! Clean up! On every
block let all the workers rally! No
man should stand around and talk un-
til he's cleaned his alley

The Washington herald., 1915-02-08

In line with his plan to entertain the
United States reserve army, consisting
of sixteen men, at a dinner in Washing
ton, Representative A. p. Gardner, OF
Massa chusetts, yesterday wrote to each
member of the army, asking IL date
late in March or early in April would
be convenient AS the members of the
reserve army are scattered from San
Francisco TO Porto Rico. Mr.. Gardner
may encounter some difficulty in mobiliZ-
ing the force, but he hopes to succeed.
His letter to each of the sixteen men
reads as follows:
Il am contemplating inviting the MEM
bers of the United States reserve army
to be my guests at a dinner in Washing
ton toward the end of March or the be-
ginning Of April. and so to have the
pleasure of meeting each one in person,
and / write to ask whether it is likely
that you could be present.
IF your engagements are such as 70
make it impossible for you to be in
Washington at that time, ! would appre-
cIate it il you would send me a short
sketch of yourself and your service in
the army, together with a photograph.
Il hope, however, that you will be able
to be present, and that the dinner may
be made an informal little reunion of the
reserve army"
The letters were sent to each member
of the reserve army, whose addresses
are as follows:

DENIES LODGE CAN
FILL Church need
Fraternal and Secret Societies Do Not
Supply Spiritual Wants,
Says Minister.

THE man who says my lodge is as
good as my church will come to find
when he dies that he's clinging TO a
rope that is going to break" said the
Rev. John Compton Ball. in his talk to
railroad men at the Terminal r. r. Y.
NJ c A. DR.. Ball admitted that he was
a member of several lodges and declared
they were beneficial Institutions il they
are considered as arms of the church.
Fraternal and secret organizations were
mentioned by Mr.. Ball as one means
used by the man who depends upon him
self and on human agencies for saliva
tion.
Il believe in New Years resolutions as
helpful to a man in striving for a bet
ter life. They are frequently broken
perhaps more than frequently-but they
help for a time in leading the resolver
on the right road. But it is not pos
sible for a man to save himself by
turning over a new leaf and promising
never to transgress further. II he
depends only on himself he is bound to
slip. None of us are perfect.
'PIedges-especially in the case Of alb
stinence from alcohol-are often used by
a man in his attempt to save himself
The moral support of having affixed his
signature to his promise aids him in
resisting temptation. But 1t has been
estimated that only per cent of the
signers Of the abstinence pledge are able
to keep ii. A small percentage are
helped-but not by the pledge alone.
Jesus Christ is the redeemer on whose
arm we must lean in emerging from sin.
The cross is the central factor in life and
in history. II we sin and ransom our
souls, who can set value or a sacrifice
by which We may redeem it? In the
case of a man held for ransom or
stolen watch which can be recovered
by payment of a certain sum. a valuation
is not hard to arrive at. But in recov-
ering lost souls the Supreme Redeemer
long ago made the great sacrifice by
which all men can be saved
