CHRISTIANS MUST
EVER Be ON GUARD
Rev. A. H. Kenna Points Out
Dangers Wealth, Indlffer-
enCe and IntemperanCe.

Napoleon standing beneath the
pyramids in 1873. said TO instill
courage into his men, Forty centur-
les are now looking down on you
and expect you TO do your duty. The
cross Of Calvary bathed in the inno-
cent blood OF the divine victim. with
extended arms cries Twenty CEN
turtles are looking down on you and
Jesus Christ expects every man 10
do his duty and be strong.
This was the parting message of
A. II. Kenna, who spoke to the
parish Of the First Methodist Epis-
copaI church on the subject. The
Call of Christ to the Heroic. He
chose as his text. Watch We. stand
fast i'm the faith, quit we like men, be
strong"
Military Words.
In opening. the speaker called at
tsntiOn to the fact that all OF the
words Of the holy writer are mill
tary words They are the words of
the leader and command as do the
words Of the general instant action.
He then tried to draw an applica-
ton of these commands for the
Christian in his every day life. I'VE
as Christians must be on our watch,
We must guard against the evils that
are threatening our lives and the
lives of our friends and neighbors.
First there is the tendency of the
modern age toward materialism.
The tremendous increase in the
wealth of the United States. which.
according 10 the last census. amounts
to $50. 0O0.O 600. is having a baneful
affect upon the people"
Wealth Is Dangerous.
The speaker called attention TO
the fact that in the past-and his
tory but repeats itself-that the ma
tions have not fallen i'm poverty but
in wealth. He added, however,
Wealth itself is not evil but the
evil use of it. and therein lies the
danger
THE second evil is the growing in
difference toward the church This
naturally grows out of the material
ism Of today causing an indifference
toward the observation OF the Sab
bath and toward the duties of the
Christian Home life Of the people
is jeopardized. divorce is on the in
crease"
Danger of Divorce.

is such "A thing as the divorce bless
ing however. He did not favor all
divorces but made a clear distinction
between the good and the evil di-
vorce. In speaking Of the danger Of
divorce he said: The danger here
lies not in the divorce but in the
failure OF people 10 realize the true
significance OF the marriage bond.
II is spiritual as well as material.
The third evil that threatens is
intemperance. Great strides have
been made by the temperance forces
but there is a tendency 10 think that
the battle is won and To quit the
fight" He spoke of the Sunday pic
mics that are being held weekly. at
which even children may purchase
liquor. When appealed TO. the
county officials maintained that
nothing could be done toward the
correction OF the evil.
The faith Of the people must be
in God that He rewards them that
seek Him and Furnishes those who
offend Him. IL must be i'm Jesus
Christ since the only salvation Of
man is in the power OF the Savior OF
the world

IDLEWILD

Up in the heart of Michigan,
the recognized summer resort state
of the Middle West, Shere nestles
a little group of summer cottages,
around pretty clubhouse. This
little resort is known as Idlewild,
the exclusive summer resort for
Negroes.
Surrounded by cool forests, rich
farm lands, whose tenants well
come you warmly, and with
number of lakes and small rivers,
where the disciples of Walton can
follow their calling, the little Will
age bids fair to become one of the
most popular places, in the sum-
mer, in the country.
The mayor of this little town is
B. f. Mosely, a prominent Chica-
go Attorney, and man we'll
known in the middle west, Mr..
Mosely has always tried to get the
better things for the race, and
ldlewild is the realization of one
of his many plans for aiding his
people in finding pleasure.
Since the resort opened in June
there has been constant flow of
visitors to inspect the cottages al
ready built, and to select sites for
their own cottages. Some, prefer
ing an even simpler style, are err
recting tents for housing purposes.
1t is to b hoped that we are so
fortunate as to become one of the
pilgrims to this race mecca ere the
season closes, and that next season
will fine Idlewild with its pepula-
tion increased many times.

HUGHES RAPS
WOODROW

Hon. Chas. Evans Hughes, re-
publican Candidate for president,
in a mastery speech last Monday
reviewing the past history of the
republican party briefly, and as
sailing the vacillating policies OF
the present administration, its
blunders and retreats. accepted the
responsibilities thrust upon it.
National Convention held at Chi
cago June 7th last, and will be
heard about for the next three
months championing the cause
and the principles of the repub-
lican party. No fairminded per-
son can find anything illogical
or vacillating in what Hughes says,
his speech is a blow on the solur
plexus of the Wilson regime-of
course, the Register, the most rad
icaI, yet most vacillating morning
champion of Democracy, says
Hughes has done the greatest
president since Lincoln, a grevious
wrong, but the Register, like the
leopard cannot change its spots.

AN OPEN LETTER

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 3, 1916.
To whom it may concern:
The colored taxpayers of
Springfield, met at the Forum
office for the purpose of invest
igating the discrimination of the
Park Board or the officers for in
terfering with the colored citizens,
Of enjoying the bathing beach and
also the rights of the park on their
day, which was set apart for them
to enjoy the refreshments and out
ings for the Sunday School Super
intendents, teachers and scholars,
which is only once year for all
the colored people of the city, to
come together and enjoy them
selves and to make plans for the
following year. But in the place
of that, they were grossly insulted,
after which they met at the
Forum office and authorized the
attorneys to go ahead and invest
igate and take what steps they see
necessary. The Journal speaks of
six being present but there was a
large crowd. The colored taxpay-
ers or citizens want to know
whether they shall pay taxes to
build pleasure parks for the white
people, Portuguese, japanese, and
Chinese and put bars against the
black face.
