A REVIVAL CONFERENCE
AT CHICAGO.
BY REGINA B. LUsTGARTEN.

by REGINA u. LUSlGARI EN-.
Never, perhaps, was a revival
conference called at more timely
hour than that which met in Chica-
go from January 81 to February 5
inclusive, in commemoration o the
eigntieth anniversary of the birth
of d. L. Moody and the thirteenth
of the founding of the Moody Bible
Institute. Dean James NJ. Gray of
the Institute spoke truly when he
said in his call that it is a time of
spiritual need and national danger
different from any the United
States ever has known. The sense
of need was deeply felt in the Con-
ference that Christians everywhere
should cry unto God in a spirit Of
humiliation and confession, and of
inter cession that He should gra-
ciously send us a nationwide re-
vival.
In the closing session, an appeal
for worldwide prayer was given
out, signed by the conference speak
ers, representing many different de-
nominations. 1t pleads that Gin this
.nour of surprising sorrow, sin and
fearful world tragedy, fellow Chris
tians of every name, and in every
land, may be united in beseeching
the God and Father of our Lord and
MI + fav 4
help and that "the fearful sorrows
OF this hour may be translated in
to a blessing, refining lifting, and
unifying the sadly separated chill
dren of God and preparing the
world for Kingdom conditions"
In this appeal it was suggested
that Churches everywhere should
observe Ash Wednesday, February
q, or Washington Birthday, Feb
ruary %, as a special day for pray
er.
A telegram was sent also to Presi-
dent Wilson, reading as follows:
''The thirteenth annual reunion
of the Moody Bible Institute of Chi
cago is in session commemorative
of the eighteenth birthday of d. L.
Moody with representatives from
many states and many lands. They
send you the assurance of their sym
pathy, loyalty and earnest prayers
at this crisis in our national life
and the history of the world. James
NJ. Gray, Presiding officer"
The closing hour of the confer
ence was fitting climax to the
six days of prayer, testimony, Bible
instruction. song, and fellowship
Dean Gray gave to the conference
an address received from Dr.. c. l..
Scofield, dealing with the vision of
God and their own unworthiness
seen by Job, Daniel, Isaiah, John,
and Others and the new commission
which came to them from God as a
result Of the vision. Men and wo-
men, clergymen and Christian

GET THREE QUARTS A MONTH
Dnnrille Men Use Express once In
Virginia md One In North
Carolina.

DANN1LLE. VA. June 16.-The local
police authorities arc investigating tho
report that men of Danville who avail
themselves Of the quart "a month law
OF Virginia are also awaiting them
selves of the more lenient law OF North
Carolina which permits the shipment
OF two quarts month. For some
weeks it has been charged that young
men have been receiving liquor at the
panrille express office and also at the
express office at Pelham, five miles
south of Danville. and Just over the
state line. The chief of police is con-
SiderinE one case, and will look into
the books of the local office and then
examine those ut Pelham to see il
there are any Implications of names
1t is contended. however, that no case
can be made out unless there is actual
evidence of the whisky received in
North Carolina being brought across
the State line. and this would ncces-
state the maintenance OF a road patrol
on the outskirts with telephone ia
cilities from Pelham. That good
many men have refraincd from re-
ceiving whisky in Danville and have
made Pelham their shipping point is
not secret.

PATRIOTISM
THAT PAYS

You are trying to show your Pa
triotism by wearing an American Flag
on your coat lapel. But the real way
to show your Patriotism is to wear a
Liberty Bond in your coat pocket.
The possession Of even $50 Liberty
Bond is your certificate of Patriotism.
1t shows that you have done your share
to help your Country at this time when
your help is needed
Do you know that the sacrifice of a
few cigars and drinks day will make
you the owner of a Liberty Bond =?
Would you be willing to put even a
dollar a week into helping your Coun-
try win this war? Any bank will ar
range this for you.
Remember that you are not giving
your country anything. You are lend
ing Uncle Sam your spare change, and
he will repay you with interest. Why
let your savings account slumber in
a bank because you get per cent in
tereSt! Invest 1t IN Liberty BONDS
and get 31a per cent interest.
1t is all very well to cheer and wave
Old Glory, but your cheering and way
ing doesn't buy ammunition for IN
Gle Sam and doesn't arm and clothe
our recruits. Every dollar that you
put into Liberty Bonds goes to help
win this war. If you can't carry a
gun, you can carry bond.
Every home that displays an Amer
can Flag should be able to display a
Liberty Bond.
Your Uncle Sam needs aid today
Old Scout, will you respond?
Let no American delay,
Kick in and buy bond.

er since 1868, and has been improving
it right along for 68 years. Until he
retired he owned a fine farm in Ru-
dolph which is now being operated by
his son. Mr.. LeMay was always
known to be a hard working and indus
trious man and saving. During his
life time he was married twice and
leaves a widow by his second MARRIAGE

CAVALRY
TROOP c
HONORED

Most of the members of Cavalry
Troup G, assembled at the Armory
Sunday morning at $50 o'clock, on the
order of Captain r. NJ. Gibson, and
formed in line of march and proceeded
to SIS. Peter & Paul church where
seats had been reserved for them. The
procession was met at the church door
by Father VIM. Reding and they filed
into the church in twos, headed by
Father Reding and Edward Meeteer
carrying the Compay's flag, followed
by Captain R. NJ. Gibson and the rest
of the officers and troop. In honor of
the occasion the interior of the church
had been decorated with flags and red,
white and blue bunting.
Father Reding delivered very able
address which was highly spoken of by
all those who heard it. He reviewed
the different wars of the world, and
in this country, and followed it up by
explaining the conditions of the pres
CHI GIOuU1C anu OuI CUIIIGCClOu Will IT,
He complimented the young men Of
Cavalry Troop G. and all others from
Grand Rapids and Wood County and
the state who were enlisted and re-
spending to the call of their country.
He eulogized them for their volunteer
service and in his sympathetic and pa
triotic remarks he brought tears to the
eyes of all his hearers. His sermon
was a great encouragement, not only
to the boys who had already joined
the troop, but to those who may still
be called in the defense of our coun-
try.
This meeting will long be remem-
bered on account of his patriotic ad-
dress and expression as indicated by
the large gathering who had part in
the services.

"KANT-SINK"
SWIMMING
DEVICE

We received a letter from our old
friend, R. W. Lyon of Traverse City,
Mich, in which he sent us a photo
graph of a new invention that he has
put on the market and is known as
the "Kant-Sink Swimming Device"
and a company has been organized for
it's manufacture and distribution thru
out the world. The title of the COM
pany is "Kant-Sink Swimming Har-
ness Company, incorporated for fifty
thousand dollars and they are plan
ming on an advertising campaign in
the Saturday Evening Post commenc-
ing this month. The device, judg-
ing from the picture is an Inflated
circular tube fastened around the body
a short distance below the arm pits
SO that a person wearing one Of these
cannot possibly sink, and furthermore
the persons head cannot get under
water. The picture was one in which
Mr.. Lyons son appeared showing how
the device is fastened to the body, and
how it prevents the swimmer from
sinking. It does not interfere with
the progress in swimming It certain
ly looks practical and if it proves so in
use in the water there certainly aught
to be millions in it. Mr.. Lyons is vice
president of the company and general
manager. Mr.. Lyons will be remem-
bered as former mail carrier in this
city and went to Traverse City, Michi-
gan several years ago. He reports
himself and wife enjoying excellent
health and that his mother is recov-
ering from her illness. We join with
his friends in this city with best wish
es for success in his new invention.

WHATIHE
VARNEANS

We are facing grave national
peril which may have the direst
consequences. For nearly three years
Germany has waged the most terrible
war in history 1t is a question today
whether Germany is more nearly ex-
hausted than the Allies. The United
States has joined hands with the AL
lies in the fight to save the civilization
of the world and we must win the war.
Hon James w. Gerard, our present
ambassador to Germany, who knows
better perhaps than any other Ameri-
can the inside of German intrigues,
says: at is no secret that if the Kai-
ser wins he expects to compel the u
nited States to pay the cost of the
war"
Should he be able to make good his
threat, how will it effect the Ameri-
can farmer? Upon him devolves the
mighty task Of feeding the United
States and her allies in this world war.
In this most important Of all tasks he
must be assured protection in his
rights. Can he be assured of such pro-
lection unless the defense of our ma
ton is at once placed upon a safe ba-
sis?
Should Germany win in this war, its
naval forces, supplemented by addi-
tions take from the Allies, could in
wade our shores and compel the pay
ment of any indemnity demanded.
This would saddle a heavy burden on
our backs. No group in our National
life has more at stake in this war than
the farmers.-Farm and Fireside.

BLODGETT
GETS FIFTEEN
IMPORTED
GUERNSEYS
From Marshfield Herald:-

C. E. Blodgett has the distinction Of
owning the largest herd of imported
Guernsey cattle in the state of Wis
consin. Last week he received fifteen
head of two-year-old heifers direct
from the Guernsey Islands, part of
shipment distributed between him and
two eastern buyers. They are fine
lot and carry some of the best Guern-
sey blood that has ever been sent to
this country. They are all bred and
will freshen sometime in September.
This brings Mr.. Blodgett's herd of
Guernseys up to fifty head and it is
safe to say that there is not another.
herd in Wisconsin that will compare
with it, When he does a thing he
does it right and cost is only minor
item.
Since purchasing the Goetz farm
just west of the city last fall Mr..
Blodgett has gone in strong for pure
bred cattle. He has a herd of about
fifty shorthorns on the Goetz farm and
as many more Guernseys on the White
School House farm. They are fine
lot and are causing Wisconsin breeders
to sit up and take notice to the fact
that the best Of these breeds are to
be found right here in Marshfield.

SIX PUPILS
GRADUATE

The graduation exercises held at the
Evangelical St. Paul Parochial schooI
on the west side Friday, were largely
attended and great interest was taken
in the exercises. The pastor of the
church and supervisor of the school
Rev. J. NJ. Thurow, presented the grad
yates with their diplomas and with
them he gave the class splendid advice
and counsel as he did so. This church
and school are doing a magnificent
work and are entitled to great credit
for it. The interest taken by the pas
tor, teachers, and congregation in the
up-building in all branches of their
work is very commendable. The whole
day was given over to farewell ad-
dresses.
The raising of a new silk American
flag that was made by the young L.
dies of that society and baseball and
other games were enjoyed and the days
doings was closed by holding a social
gathering of all members of the church
and school. Delicious refreshments
were served and the day will long be
remembered by all those who had a
part in the exercises Our German
friends in this department of their
work should be encouraged by sub
stantial support from the community
as whole.
