In writing those words President
Wilson gave expression to the two
thoughts which have been uppermoSt
IN his mind since the day. in April.
1917, when this country entered the

First, to accomplish the ends,
through victory, for which this nation
entered The war.
Second, to help bind up the wounds
of war inflicted upon innocent nations
abroad and aid them to the rea!lza- :
tion of ideals of democracy cnerlshed
blythe people of the United States.
President Wilson's announcement
IN simple and modest terms. was al
most a prayer of Thanksgiving for the
victory and invocation to his country
men to give heed to the task yet be-
fore them.

Major William Bracket of the
United States marine corps, for
merly chief recruiting officer in
Chicago, but now stationed in Cuba,
writes to his cousin, Mrs Cora East
man, 902 Twentieth street that he
has been appointed a lieutenant
colonel
Day before yesterday" says his
letter, Il received my promotion to

my Rock Island friends will be glad
to learn. The commission dates
from July 1. Another major in this
regiment was also promoted, and
am going to do my best to get de-
tached and sent across while l am
up north on leave.
The war news is good and seems
better than ii has been during the
months of heart-breaking reverses;
il is merely d round we have won
in the long distance prize fight, but
il certainly makes a fellow feel
proud that his countrymen are pro-
ducing the goods and can stand up
against a military machine that has
no weakness"

cause of fear of punishment, but
because of the filial fear Of the
Lord. The children of this school
are to learn to live a blameless, hon
est, pure and righteous life, not for
the sake of reward, but for the love
of God. Here they should learn to
obey the higher powers, here they
should learn to lay down their life
for their country, for their Fellow
men. because that is the Will Of
God. IL they learn that, If the in
tellect and heart are shaped to-
ward the service OF their fellow
men, for the Lords sake; if they
are taught to avoid all manner Of
wrong and to walk in the presence
of God in their business and at
home, does not this school then
make good American citizenship
Is it not performing patrlotic
duty, then, which could be no high
er or more important? Let this
cornerstone evidence that high pur-
pose to which this school is devot-
ed.
But this school serves still an
other and yet higher purposes to
which l shall call your attention,
and then l have finished. That
higher purpose is to make good cit
liens of the city of God, the king
dom of heaven. All purely secular
education educates for this life
only. Christian education educates
for the life that now is and for the
life which is TO come. In spite Of
the wild negations of many there
is a future life. We know It, be
cause God tells us. And now it IS
our duty to make ready for that
future life All things present must
pass away. The Lord shall pres
entity appear in His majesty, and
the books will be opened He
comes net to save, but to judge the
world. And His judgment Will be
a righteous judgment. The secret
things of the heart will then be as
an open book. Then neither tenn
poral honor, nor wealth, nor wis
dom will avail. No one can gain a
corner lot in heaven with all the
wealth and honor and wisdom Of
the world. In order to be with God
hereafter, one must be with God
here. In order to escape the right
eous wrath of the great Judge,
Jesus Christ, on the day Of judg-
ment, one must receive absolution
and sonship and inheritance here
in the days of grace. Now, that IS
the great purpose of this school to
fit children for that future life. By
bringing them under the daily

Gospel of Jesus Christ; by the

BOY SCOUTS ENJOY
THE CORDOVA CAMP

Excellent reports are brought by
the Boy Scouts who have returned
from the CordOva camp after 10
days visit. Proof that the boys are
enjoying the camp to the utmost
lies in the fact that not one of them
anted to return to the city after
their outing. However, this was
necessary in order to give all the
boys an equal chance to have a
frOlic. Before leaving camp Satur-
day the scouts in a final plea went
TO W. F. Bacon, scout executive,
and told him they were willing to
work in the kitchen or do anything
else to help if they might be per-
mitted to stay longer.
The scouts are receiving very
good training besides having an en-
joyable time. The camp is run on
semi-miIitary lines. giving the lads
work along with their play. Every
one has his turn to do the work in
the kitchen and around the tents,
besides his Individual duties which
he has TO perform each day. From
the hours of $50 to 11:30 tests are
given daily, and each scout has the
opportunity TO advance one class
before his return to the city. One
of the first tests is in hiking. A dis
lance of IA miles is required to ac-
complish this feat
The camp has been a tremendous
undertaking for Mr.. Bacon, who is
practically managing unassisted, a
project which is a big job for sew
eral men. He is fortunate in having
the help this week of the scout
master from Galva The boys are
learning to be more self-depend-
ent and are gaining confidence in
themselves, are receiving mental,
moral and physical training. and
will come back to their homes,
brighter, better and more obedient
lads.

For instance, here is a smart jer-
sey suit II could be purchased in
almost any store today for a very
nominal price, a price far below
what il sold for in the early part
Of the season. To buy a suit like
this even late in the season would
be a real economy for some wom-
en- Il would be suitable and com
Portable for almost any occasion
which might occur during the late,
cool summer days or the early fall.
Does someone protest at buying
a suit 10 wear Tor few months?
Naturally, but this is 10 be worn
all winter and again next spring.
The clever woman who buys IL will
v ear il as a suit until the wealth
er gets too cool and then she will
transform il into a one-piece frock

until spring She may then take
off her coat and have a smart
