Easter Sermon.

Love your enemies. Understand
them. See their burdens, their be-
wilderment, their perplexities, their
obstacles and handicaps and thwart-
ings. Let the Christ of you strike
with pity upon the locked gates of the
vaults of their ignorance, and cry
Lazarus, come forth! to the sleeping
souls Of them within Let the Moses
in you, the Pioneer, the Darer, the Adj
venturer, the All-Believer, strike with
love upon the rock of their hardness
and asperity; let him will that living
water, kindness shall gush forth, crys-
talline, sparkling And this day, so
shall it be.--Nautilus.

EMPORARY
RECRUITING
STATION

c. W. Motley, petty officer of the
navy, from the Navy Recruiting Sta
ton, 222 Grand Ave, Milwaukee. is
in Grand Rapids, making arrange
ments to open temporary recruiting
station at the post office on Sept. 1, 2
3, to examine and enlist men for the
U. S. navy.
Mr.. Motley says, THAT many peo-
pie, knowing really nothing about the
discipline in the navy, believe it to
be so severe that it is almost unen-
durable. Any good man of the navy
will tell you that such is far from
the truth. A weIl-behaved man on
board ship will not feel the discipline
any more than a we'll behaved man on
shore feels the laws.
Through lack of acquaintance and
contact with men of the navy. and
through ignorance of the conditions of
life in the navy, many people really
believe that the navy is made up of
men of loose character and foreigners.
The navy is made up of good, healthy
Americans. Shiftless, immoral men
get in the navy only by chance; ana
they are not kept there long. Only
Is per cent of the men who apply for
enlistment are accepted: and SO per
cent of the men in the navy are Amer
lean citizens.
No intoxicating liquor is allowed
on board ships of the navy; and gam
bling and profanity are not permitted.
The religious tendencies of the men
are encouraged. All the larger ships
have chaplains and divine services are
regularly held, in which the men take
deep interest.

DAY On SOUTH

Boats dotted the surface of the
south side pond yesterday. Many
boating parties took advantage of the
fine day to explore the several islands
which lie between tie C. & N. W. rail
road bridge and the south side dam.
1t seems that the south side pond
has just been discovered and with the
action being taken by the park COM
mission to make them even more at
tractive as camping and picnic places.
The beautiful shores, some wooded
to the waters edge and some where
the rock outcrops, giving scenery that
IS comparable with that of the Dells,
the many winding channels between
the islands and the high character of
the ground generally, make an ideal
place for a days or weeks outing.
