HERALD
YEAR OF
ACTION

Tacoma ushered in Baby 1917
with spirit of even greater OPP
timism for his future than that
with which his older brother,
1916, was heralded IL months
ago.
The Year of Promise went out
and the Year of Action has walked
in.
There wasn't much noise or
demonstration in connection with
the great event, but everybody
wore smile.
The whistles of Tacoma's manu-
featuring plants on the tideflats
blew loud, discordant noises, bel
lowing out greetings to the many
new comrades which are destined
to keep them company soon in the
work of grinding out rejuvenated
Tacoma's prosperity.
Very Arid Time Was Had.
1t was dry New Year.
There was little boisterous revel-
ry when the clock struck mid
night; but each person who saw
the New Year in had sane sort
of feeling of his own, and the
city's we'll being.
Watch night services were held
in nearly all the churches and
some of them united in union
gatherings.
The Apollo theater celebrated
by giving a midnight show, and
when the stroke of IL came, the
crowds blew whistles and horns
given by the management.
A Rosy 1917.
The street crowds were only a
little larger than usual for Sum
day evening. Hotels were quiet.
The theaters drew the largest
number of celebrators.
The custom of holding open
house" is being revived in Tacoma
today. Relatives and friends are
paying calls to each others homes,
carrying good wishes for the New
Year.
It's the beginning of rosy 1917
for Tacoma.

How much of q mans re-
Igion consists of what an
other man tells him?
And why do folks, when
they go to church. always
make rush for the choice
back seats?
These are two questions which
have been puzzling me ever since
went to church at the Swedish
Tabernacle Sunday.
For the first question. l have
come to the conclusion that the
preacher and his sermon are very
nearly the whole show at church
at least Rev. H. Sundquist and
his sermon were yesterday.
l can't understand one syllable
Of Swedish, much less speak
it. Almost the entire service con-
sisted of what Rev. Sundquist had
to say in Swedish.

Therefore, / take it, | might

ish Tabernacle, or all the good

how much we church-goers ibid

er fellows say-so, and incidentally
on the theological seminary of
this or that denomination, for our
religious belief.
Wants to Sit Back.
But here, I'm getting in too
deep. Referring to the second
question, wish to say that when
ever | enter a church | have a
peculiar longing for the seat near
est the door.
The usher or pastor who issues
the call that there's lots of room
up 'front.'" bothers me.

ing back and forth in his pew
lifte1 his appeal to God, con.
vinced me that Rev. Sundquisi
must have touched the souls OF
men.
In Two Languages.
The pastor is a striking look
ing man with a mop of light
bushy hair and a firm chin. He
stands on no formality.
He is at his ease with his con-
gregation and they are at ease
with him. He speaks to them as
man to man, but how they can
understand each other is puz-
zle to me.
/ discovered that he has a big
mans job in his church. 1t seems
that all the members of the
younger generation in his congre-
CATION speak and read and think
in U. S. terms, while all the older
members stick by the tongue of
their fatherland.
Rev. Sundquist has to lead his
flock in two languages! And all
honor to him-he is leading it to-
ward everything American. 1t
will not be many years, he pre-
diets, before all his services will
be in good old U. S. But it's
slow work.
The Difference.
All of which, | take It, goes to
show that becoming an American,
like becoming a Christian, is a
matter OF progressing, and not a
thing to be accomplished all in
one dose.
The service at the Swedish
Tabernacle struck me like this
that Christian churches every
where are much the same when
you come right down to it. They
all have pulpits, preachers, pray
ers, choirs, congregations, hymns
and collections, no matter what
the language.
Apparently the only difference
is in the name they go by, in the
man-made catechisms and creeds
that have been manufactured for
them-and in the thickness or
thinness of their pastors skulls.

insisting, however, that her terms
be held in confidence-is deemed
possible by many officials, for the
following reasons:
Conviction that IL peace
does not come, Germany and
the U. s. will be drawn to
the verge of an inevitable
break in relations, owing to
U-bOat activities.
Fear that the German peO-
pie, already FESTIVE, will de-
mand greater representation
in the government and either
a vigorous pursuit of the
war or u more determined eff
fort for peace.
No secret is made in this coun-
try of the danger point reached
in relations between the U. S. and
Germany as the result of Ger
many's resumption of submarine
warefare ON a large scale.
There are some in Washington
who do not hesitate to say that il
present peace negotiations come
to naught the president will soor
go to congress and announce sew
erance of diplomatic relations be-
tween the U. s. and Germany a
the first conclusive sign of al
overstepping Of her submarine
pledges by Germany.
So long, however. as there ap
pears to be the slightest chance
of keeping the peace negotiations
actually alive, the president will
not withdraw his influence.
Early today the entente repl.
