our homes and 10 render every as
sistance possible to our government

tory world peace and establish a

10 help win this war, but we wish
70 point out and appeal 10 you in
way that will inspire you 10 do a
little more. We do not necessarily
mean for you to enlist and go to the
front Because l do positively believe
it Is possible, for those who have
special fitness. 70 do work which is
issue Of the war as going 10 the
front
To men of this class this article
Is especially directed. The difficulty
as see it is that comparatively few
people realize the seriousness of the
situation at home since virtually all
of our soldiers. including our fed
eral army. marines and the national
guard. are in contonment camps
undergoing intensive training prep
aratory TO service in France.
Have you ever thought seriously
Of the possibility and probability of
the various internal troubles that
might arise in our cities2 Have YOU
ever thought seriously what might
happen 20 our own industrial city
Of South Bend were IL not for the
presence OF a we'll organized and

sibility Of a repetition Of circum-
stances in our own South Bend sim
liar 70 those in East 81. Louis just
a short time ago?
To you who may not know We
wish 10 inform that South Bend and
Mishawaka have organized ten COM

men who eXemplify the cream OF
South Bend and Mishawaka They
represent the type OF men who win
battles and build big cities because
they are loyal To a common cause
and because they know the road
that leads 70 duty. Moreover, they
they are in accord with laws and
principles and know why
The military committee and the
corps Of instructors are composed
OF men who have been benefited 10y

perience These men are giving the
members Of the various companies
the very best there IS in them. In a
word-this home defense Guard
movement is already a big success.
We are going TO make it gigantic
success. The movement deserves the
hearty support and individual CO.
operation Of every citizen Of the
twin cities.

SOLID FOUNDATION
HOPE FOR FUTURE
Caught in the Rain" is Sub
jeCt of Rev. 0eCker'S
Sermon.

Caught in the Rain" was the
subject OF the interesting sermon
delivered by the Rev. Charles 4.
Decker az the First Baptist church
Sunday evening.
Jesus he began, told the peo-
pie I'm His Sermon on the Mount
that those who heard and did His
sayings were like the man who
built on the rocks. and those who
heard but did not do them were
like the man who built upon the
sand. For when storms and floods
came the house on the rocks would
remain, while that on the sands
would crumble and he washed
away.
should Heed Jesus.
Everyone who knows anything
about building" he continued. will
appreciate the force Of this illustra-
ton OF the Lord. This places a
value on the words of Jesus that
we will do we'll 10 heed The talk
Of Jesus is not mere talk. IL has
great value and is 10y no means
cheap parley and babbling. His are
the words of life 1t is therefore
necessary 10 give some heed 10 the
teaching Of the Master. For unless
there is doing as well as hearing
rne is in danger Of being caught in
the rain. and that the house which
hc has built is in danger of being
washed away.
There is a place for Quietness
and contemplation" Rev. Decker
went on 10 say. "in the Christian
life. But action is also required.
After hearing comes doing, and
this is the point at which many of
us fail To hear and not 10 DO is
10 lose real meaning OF what is
heard. There is a reaction TO every
truth. II must find expression in
life in order TO be of any value.
Jesus knew this and insisted that
hearing alone was of little account.
The man who builds well is the
one who expresses in terms of life
the thing he has heard. This is il
Illustrated in every successful enter
prise Belief and action go togeth-
er in every undertaking excepting

Now, failure here spells destruc-
ton" he concluded The reason
is that there is no foundation. The
hope of the future has been built
upon the shifting sands and mac
tive expectation. 4 man that thus
builds finds that sooner or later he

Then ii has one of the most sparkling
and lively scores, muSically and not
over orchcstraien. Then again, Flora
Bella is charmingly mounted.
The result is wholesome departure
from the deadly routine of ordinary
musical comedy business and presents
a spectacle that preiudces the specta-
| tor in favor Of the piece as soon as the
first curtain rises. The story has to
do with a cabaret singer, an idol of
Pctrograd who for year without her
former identity being known in her
new surroundings, has been married to
Prince Nicholas Demidoff of the Rus
sian nobility. Her life has been ir-
reproachable, but the two have made
the mistake of not understanding the
real desires of the other She makes
her husband fall desperately in love
with her, eventually, by returning to
her former cabaret life and posing as
her own twin sister.
