ONE CHURCH FOR
FOLKS ON BLUFF
Committee Instructed to Proceed With
Launching Organization to Serve
the Whole Community.
EMBRACE ALL DENOMINATIONS
Series of Services to Be Held in Help
Chapel Next Week, With Dedi-
cation on Sunday.

An epoch-making event in the ad-
vancement of the southeast bluff dis
trict of Moline took place last even
ing, when resident of the locality, at
meeting held in Help chapel, in
structed a committee to proceed with
the work of launching a church or
ganization which will serve the entire
community and include all denomina-
tons in its scope of activities.
Object of the new move is to con-
serve the resources of the community
and concentrate the strength in one
organization, which will have as it's
aim the development of the social,
moral and religious life of those com
ing under its influence. A careful
survey Of the portion of the city in
which the new church will be located
shows that the residents are Indirectly
affiliated with 26 different churches
and an impetus is being given this
new movement
Explanation is made by hackers that
organization of the new church will
not mean the adoption of a new creed
or doctrine by those becoming it's
members, but is simply a cOnsolida-
ton of all denominations with one Ill
innate purpOSe-that of ringing about
an adequate and concentrated service
to the community. That the move is
an eXpedient one is proved by a long
list of those interested which has been
secured, declare the sponsors.
Plan Special Services.
A program committee was appoint
ed to arrange for a series of services
to be held in Help chapel next week.
1t is intended to consummate these
services Sunday, July 16, by an infOr
NAL dedication of the new church and
the reception of charter members.
Rev. Walter Spooner, who is here to
aid in work of organization, was in
structed to proceed with necessary de-
tail steps in perfecting the organiZa-
ton. First services in this cOnnec-
ton will be held next Sunday. A ses-
sion of the Sunday school will be held
at 9:45, with a program of special in
terest, and this will be followed by
preaching services at 10:45. Rev. Mr..
SpOOner will be in charge at evening
services. commencing at 7:45, and
should attendance prove large enough
to tax the capacity of the chapel, a
large tent probably will be procured
for other services. Special music will
feature both morning and evening SER
vices Sunday.

BICKETT MAKES RULING ON
SECTION 2 OF PRIMARY Law
A. B. Freeman Making Friends With
Democrats; Must Vote for Presi-
Dental Nominee.

Before the members Of the election
board gathered in Raleigh the parties
veer in doubt as to some phases of the
requirements, says a Raleigh dispatch
to the Greensboro News. The Repub-
leans had no particular reason for de-
string a successful working of the law
but their member here, A. B. Freeman
is making lots of Democratic friends
by his fairness and evident desire to
do nothing to obstruct the law as it 3
written. Until after the Republican
convention and the Democratic execu-
tive committee had met and adjourned
the presidential preference primary
Ues little discussed. 1t has become
much an issue since.
An Important Opinion.
Yesterday Attorney General Beckett
gave an important opinion as to the
presidential voting. Section 2 of the
slate wide primary act declares that
the voter in the primary may by party
primary ballot express his choice for
President and Vice President Of the
United States I
Section II declares that there shall
be a National primary box.
in which shall be deposited all ballots
for President and Vice President
Section 10 simply declares that an
e;ector shall be permitted to vote for
his choice for the nomination of Pres
ident and Vice President by name"
Then constituting all sections togetf-
Ell the attorney general thinks it in
mandatory Upon the state board or
election to provide means whereby a
voted may express his choice for Pres
ident and Vice President.
"There is no provision made for Can
d;dates for President and Vice Presi-
dent to file notice Of their candidacy
with the state board of elections and
the state board can print on official
ballots only the names of such candi-
dates as have filed notice of their can
dtdacy.
cit follows that it is the duty'of the
state board to provide a ballot for the
national Republican ticket and the n
tionaI Democratic ticket. On these
tallots will be printed the names OF
the candidates for Congress who filed
notices with the board as required by
law and blank spaces must be left on
these ballots where the voter may in
sert the name of his choice for Pres1-
dent and Vice President. This inser-
ten may be made by writing the name
Or pasting the name On the ballot"

AMERICAS YOUNG MEN
MAKE POOR SHOWING.

Washington, April 15.-According to
figures made public by the War De-
partment, during the first five days af-
ter President Wilson's authorization
Ct a 20, 1000 army increase, 2,426 appli-
cations were received. OF these only
555 we're accepted. The reason why
such a large proportion of the young
r.en offering themselves for military
service failed to pass the physical tests
calls for investigation.

EASTER SOULS.

Of Easter let US not talk now.
Pass by, for this time, such ques-
tons as whether the SOU shall live on
after death, and where and how; the
resurrection of the body; and the
transmigration and pre-existence OF
CT the human spirit-not that they arc
not most toothsome morsels for argu
ment-but pass them by, and consider
here, during the running of these few
lines, the issue: Does Easter mean
anything 1 can use today?
Does the Easter idea contain any
meat for today's spiritual dinner?
The net utilizable contents of Eas-
ter are that out of death may come
life, out Of failure success, out Of de-
srair hope. out of ugliness beauty, IL
OF sorrow n death joy and victory.
Whatever the t~heologic facts, nuless
they mean this to you they are of 10
practical value.
And well for you if the real signifi-
canoe of Easter works into your con-
viction!
Easter souls are like the fablee
'Antaeus, who received from his mother,
Earth, new strength whenever he was
thrown.
Stripped, whipped, beaten, bruised
Easter souls are found next day, sword
i'll hand, smiling, high-hearted ready
for the fight again.
Easter souls are of the temper OF
that American general in the Mexican
war who won the battle because che
didn't know when he was licked"
There is more come back" to the
human spirit than to anything else
known on earth or in heaven.
Easter souls Ire they that are i'm
mune against the germs Of despair,
fear, s~elf-ptty, and giving up, which
attack and destroy the fabby.
! Easter souls are they that the
hounds of destiny cannot bring to bay.
The fates and furies cannot crush
them, and retire Disguised because
their victims do not know how to
whimper.
The high gods favor them because
they are unafraid.
The devil will not annoy them be
caLse they laugh at him.
When sorrow somes to them, they
open it, as a nut, and find a kernel CT
nohility-they penetrate it as a dark
cave, and find an altar with lighted
candles.
The sea of adversely cannot drow1
them; they bob up %serenely, exclaim-
ing. "What an invigorating BATH"
Sickness to them i spiritual oppor-
tunity.
They never have tragedy, because
they refuse to go out with the Grove
when the curtain falls, and persist IL
remaining for the next scene which il
always comedy.
\ They will not quit. They will net
] Vhine.s They will not capitulate.
They are the tough, obstinate, un-
conquerable, everlasting soldiers OF
Hope, Faith. and Joy-and may Goo
bless EN- and multiply EN- upon the
face of this wormy wabbly, cowardyi
and weakling world!
Come boy, try it again! They got
you the first time, but you can beat
'em yet
Come, girl mind if they broke
your doll, and your tea-set blue,
and your reputation and your heart
You can come back you can, yos
: can-and you will!
The trumpet OF Easter Morn is no
alone for the dead in graves, it is als'
for the dead who still must live; AMI
to,you now It declares, as clearly as
will declare to the dead In earth AMI
seat at the Last Day:
II am the resurrection and the life!'
