EVANGELIST PREACHED SERMON
 ON FAMILY SAFETY
Grow Bumper Crop of Boys and Girls With All Around Development.

Evangelist Linden preached a strong sermon at the First Baptist church Friday evening on the subject, Fam fly Safety. He said in part: Family safety is a subject which ought to be uppermost in parents minds and fathers and mothers of the right ring and stuff will give attention to it. Safety for the family is found when Gods invitation is accepted and that invitation is recorded in Genesis 7:1, And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy family into the ark. 1" There is no hope whatever for the spiritual safety of the boys and girls unless the family emperor and em- press, the father and mother of the home are safe in Gods ark and are lowing as number devotees at the shrine of Jesus Christ. The big aim then is to throw the responsibility of family safety upon the home makers aned arouse fathers and mothers to get into the ark themselves and thus create the possibility of safety for their off spring. Child welfare can not be expressed in a one-sided man

 Last fall we compiled with the or- der of the court of common council and laid three new granolithic side walks on Union street over 100 feet in length because our old ones were not good enough. We had been wait ing for the city to improve the street before doing this work. thinking the grade might be changed.
 We did protest against the injus- tice of the order in the following re- spect: The property owners on the west side of the street were ordered to repair their tar walks, while those on the east side were ordered to lay the grarolithic-more than twice as expensive. Is this just? The cost of the granolithic is about g per run ming foot; overlaying the old tar. 30 cents; a new tar wa-k./ from 70 to 90 cents per running foot.
