Vows bring out all the clements of character-honesty, sincerity and truth.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-12-31

At the conclusion of the sermon at the First Methodist church last night. by pr. George R. Stuart, the pastor, from the text, T have opened my rrocth unto the Lord and I cannot 20 back on my word,' two men in uniform went forth and made the VOW that they would start right from now on and asked that they be prayed for to this end
 mon. replete with human interest, ringing with message for the man who had fallen back or the one who had never gone forward and given his heart to God
 He used the illustration of Jeptha who made vow unto God and stuck to it-even to the sacrifice of his daughter.
 T like the fellow who is sincere whc does not go back on himself. I do not like liar, and ask you the question, are you liar? Do you mako VOWS to God and then violate them.
 LOST HIS STRENGTH
 "Samson's strength was not in his hair. It was in his VOW. He made a VOW and when, he broke it, he lost his strength. He was of the Naza rene faith. and they had that symbol
 T like vows because they bring all of the clements of character to the front-honesty, sincerity and truth. Ol course there are many who make VOWS and do not keep them But il makes an epoch in mans life tc come right suddenly upon thing, just to take vow and quit something thai you know you should quit.
 Harry Lauder-the wonderful Scotch singer-lost his only son ir the present war. It grieved him SC that he was about ready to rebel wher he took vow. He told God that h, would give the rest of his life to Him singing for Him, and that is what h. Is doing today.
 TAKE OUT INSURANCE "Every man who is married shoul, take out insurance-he owes it to hi wife-so that she will be able to 1ool around after his death and see wher, l she could have done better" said Dr Stuart, humorously, "and that is some thing like VOW; you don't know hoy you pay those premiums. but you dc you get them paid somehow; it's VOW, in way. and you just do It you don't turn back, it's your word and you stick to it.
 | "The man who lives up all he make is vagabond; he is beggar the min ute he gets sick. I say that kindl, and affectionately, but it's true. Un dertake something, be somebody, talk VOW to be somebody
 l pr. Stuart spoke of the marriag ] vows, the protection of mothers ant 1 fathers character and the obligation of every man to God-to be Chris tian. no matter who he Is, making final appeal to his hearers to stel over the line and start right with tn, l last Sunday in the old year.

a social affair for Thursday was under
discussion. When one woman was
approached on the subject she
promptly demurred. "Oh, no" she
said, that is my afternoon to work at
the war relief room; ! cant do any
thing else on that day
Society women feel that now, it
ever they must put forth all their Ell
forts for the war relief work Who
knows that we may not need the hos
pital supplies for our own men soonF
People who are going on trips are
hesitating. Mrs. John A. Kuhn, Miss
Marion Kuhn, Miss Gertrude Metz
and Miss Harriet Mack, who left last
evening for Honolulu, felt some hesi-
fancy about setting forth. but all their
reservations having been made, they
decided to leave as arranged. Tense
waiting is the attitude which most
people have adopted and every lunch

UNIONIST WOMEN
ASK COOPERATION
Miss Whittemore Explains Aim
at the Meeting at the
Blackstone Hotel.
CONCENTRATE SENTIMENT

I'VE are not asking sufrag1sts to,
choose between the Congressional
union and the National Woman SUI.
fraee association. We are appealing
for greater cooperation explained
Miss Margaret Whittemore, Congress
sional union organizer, in her address
at the conference-1uncheon held at the
Blackstone today. The difference m
the two organizations is only that we
are not doing propaganda work.
though we think it an excellent thing
for the other suffragists to do" she
said.
Here is the policy Of the much
mooted Congressional union as out
lined by Miss Whitfore:
ITO concentrate existing suffrage
sentiment on congress, backed by
groups from the 100000 women
voters.
ITO deal with the party which con-
trolls legislation, no matter which ono
it is.'
"The Congressional union is in no
way incompatible with any other sui
frage organization. Its work over
laps to the extent that almost every
member of the Congressional union
also belongs to the national, and fire.
quently officers in one organization
also hold office in the other" said
Miss Whittemore.
Miss Whittemore described the first
great convention of women voters in
San Francisco and the cross-country
auto trip of Sarah Bard Field to Sc
cure signers to the suffrage petition
and other work in congress all spon-
sored by the Congressional union.
Since the democratic party is in
power, we expect it to grant us SUI
frage," she said.
Miss Mary Graham of Lincoln, dean
OF women at the state university, and
Miss Blanche Grout of the university
faculty, Mrs. Halleck Rose and Miss
Beulah Amidon were other speakers.
Miss Whittemore and Miss Amidon
go tonight to Des Moines, leaving
Congressional union affairs in Ne
braska in the hands of the organiza-
ton which was effected at today's
meeting. Other Congressional union
speakers will come later.

usefulness. Vocational training
while good and desirable under
certain conditions, may easily be-
come field for the most costly
experiments experiments that
demand an immense amount of
money, and that are based on
neither logic nor practical sense.
1t may be taken for granted that
while everything CONDUCIVE to
the health and needs of the pupils
will be demanded, the expenditure
of this So, 100000 will be carefully
watched.
Among the rawlings, actuated
by eagerness to push the bond
issue through, may be noticed the
dribbling, puerile pleading of one
who advocated that the schools be
made so attractive every child
would be tempted to attend them.
While we refrained from open
opposition to this issue during the
campaign, lest our position be
misunderstood, we cannot allow a
statement made by a prominent
citizen to pass unchallenged. This
man is quoted: 'SYour schools
are poor. The survey has shown
that beyond a doubt. The charter
limitation does not permit enough
funds to hire all experienced
teachers, as should be done in a
city OF this size, and as a result
our educational institutions are in
a deplorable state. Private schools
have arisen as a result. Such
schools are contrary to the spirit
of a democracy. st. Paul has
cheated it's school children long
enough. -
The above assertion opposed to
private schools, is not only mis-
leading, but it is most insidious in
tits secret thrust at the parochial
schools which are recognized to
be, at the very least, on par with
any other schools for standard
and efficiency. Surely the paro-
chial schools Of st. Paul have not
cheated the children. In brief
what ST. Paul or any other city
requires, is not palatial structures
for scholastic needs, but an eff
cient teaching staff, one that car
produce the best results without
insinnations against parochial
schools or other institutions that
are conceded the highest standing

tiful lake, amid lovely surround
ings, this camp is ideal for the
purpose which it processes to hold
in view. This purpose is to fur
nish boys with an outing that will
supply them with all these things
the average boy so ardently de-
sires: country life, athletic and
other amusements, aquatic sports,
and so on. Mental exercise is fur
nished all those boys who desire
it in the form of private tutoring
in various scholastic branches.
Over and above all, the great
benefit is to be found in the fact
that the boys are cared for spirit
ually. The constant presence of
a priest, the Rev. John Dunphy,
Director of the camp, is a guar
antee that the morals and dis
cipline of the camp will be Of the
highest, while the spiritual side of
the boys growing nature will be
carefully safe guarded. We high
ly recommend this camp for all
boys of the Twin Cities.

FULFILLING A vow
PEOPLE OF THE SOUTH KEEP
PROMISE MADE IN 1864.

< The solemnity of Corpus Christi
was kept, as usual in Natchez, Miss,
by public procession. Several
affairs were erected and the people
of Natchez gathered there to comply
with double duty-the first, to eX-
press the city's respectful alteration to
the ever-present Presence, and the
other to commemorate the miraculous
saving of Natchez during the troubled
days of the Civil War. The inhab-
itants of the city in 1854 made vow
to observe the Feast of Corpus
Christi as a local holiday of obliga-
ton with the strict duty of attending
Mass. In later years the Holy See
committed this obligation to the one
better adapted to our day and time,
namely, to the public veneration and
to the private reception by way of
Holy Communion as perpetual me-
mortal of divine interference on the
Feast of Corpus Christi.

PROBLEMS In HOLLAND
CATHOLICS MAY NOT HAVE MA
JORiTY IN RLIAMENT-EDU-
CATION LAWS FORM CHIEF
TOPIC.

The Catholics of Holland were ex-
pecting to have parliamentary
majority next year, but the revision
of the constitution now in hand brings
up number of problems and also
causes difficulty which the "evangel-
icals'' are not slow to take advantage
of. For a revision of the constitution
the law of the country demands the
dissolution of both chambers. But
the military situation in Europe neces-
states continued mobilization, and it
therefore appears impossible to re-
main many weeks without parliament.
Two ways out of this difficulty have
been proposed. The first is to appoint
the new chamber before the old one
is dissolved; the second is to choose
for the new chamber, the candidates
who sat in the old. The last project
is strongly opposed by the Catholics,
who see in it an artful effort to defeat
their growing strength and prevent
their attaining to power before the
consideration of the education laws
which deeply affect the Catholic
schools and religious training.

A FACT FROM REAL LIFE.

Let me recall an instance from life.
A man OF powerful physique, to which
was added an equally brilliant intel
lect, and gift of eloquence that
noWed as golden stream from
Well-stored mind, was moderate
drinker. No one dare lay at his door
charge of abusing drink, of drunk
'enness. No day dawned that did not
see that same amount consumed, no
night came in which the task was
not accomplished. Years passed.
The public had placed on his brow
the wreath of generation and esteem,
No cloud of suspicion married the
sunshine of his popularity and civic
righteousness, yet no day came and
went that he did not pay homage to
the alcoholic god. The man had
changed. The nerve-centers were as
so many hungry vipers, clamoring
for their daily food. The tottering
step bespoke not the approach of old
age, but the presence of the enemy of
the motor-muscles. The dimmed eye
had been robbed of it's fire and mag
netic glance by the fumes that had
gradually consumed it's brilliancy.
Even though that man consumed the
same amount of alcohol as in the
early days of his career, he was an
immoderate drinker now, a, drunkard,
one who would not, who could not
forego that daily allowance. | have
met him in the early hours of the
morning, and have seen him fall into
an intoxicated state, after consuming
an amount of whiskey that would not
overflow lady's thimble.
There can be no set rule of modera-
ton that shall guide man to man.
There can be no set rule of modera-
ton that shall guide man in relation
to himself. The alcohol remains the
same-the man changes-and when
the change begins, what seemed to
be moderation vanishes. And this
Hateful act of the man who drinks
even moderately must be charged to
the account of ignorance of the pres
ence and nature of alcohol and of
it's poisonous effects. And today with
the last word of science on the ques-
tion, ignorance is ineXcusable.
