us; all this was wrought out for US
by men imbued with the teachings Of
Gods Word The protestant church
founded and moulded the marvel Of
the ages, the United States in which
we have our citizenship. So by our
birth we fell heir to the blessings
which the church has brought into
the world; and because we have al
ways had them, we take them for
granted, forgetting that they must
be perpetuated by human effort. We
take all these blessing for granted as
we take the sunshine and the rain
and the fruitful earth, without any
sense Of obligation to the hand that
wrought them for us in the blood and
suffering. The Reformation, the
American Revolution, the English
Revolution, the story of the great
struggles is the story Of what the
teachings Of the Bible have done for
the social uplift of humanity,
The third reflection that ought to
be made is, that the church to ac-
complish the stupendous task which
is the reason for its existence, needs
the help of every right-minded man
in the community, That task is
nothing les than the regeneration of
the world That is to be accomplish
ed not by any legerdemain, or by
spasms of hysteria, but by steady
transformation Of the character out
of selfshness and its meanness up to
the peane of self-sacrifce for others.
That is long hard road for the indi-
vidual to travel and longer yet for
the community. The ideal for both
is the Christ-life; the sole power that
can effect the transformation is Je-
sus Christ; and the church is the
channel appointed by Him through
which His Holy Spirit is to work on
the hearts Of men and effect their re-
generation. And in the present
world-crises in which the world that
we knew is crumbling, with period
of world-reconstruction imminent,
reflect on the duty of the church.
How utttrly stupendous its task! The
old is passing; the new is approach
ing; what will be doth not yet appear.
But one thing we know without per-
adventure, that only as Jesus Christ
shapes the counsels of nations; only
as His teaching are incorporated in
their agreements; only as His life is
reflected in the lives Of the people,
will the new world after the Great
War be a better world than it was
before. And to make this known to
the world; wildly to present Jesus
Christ as the everything, ever-pres-
ent, ever energizing Saviour Of the
world is the work which the church
has to do. To do 1.-THE church needs
you!
In the light of what has been
said there is another reflection which
can best be put into the form of
question. If / refuse to attend and
support the church in its great mis-
sion, am / not Stacker in my duty
to God and my fellowmen? When
the nation called for men to cross
the seas, you sent oyur sons; when
the nation called for money, you
loaned her all you could; when the
Red Cross and other organizations
contributed. To make the world
safe for democracy you have UNI
complainingly undergone every kind
of self-sacrifce. And now to make
democracy safe for the world, are
you not willing to work for and sup.
port the only agency that can accom-
plish the task? Think it over

decided 10 accept the terms OF a
contract with the Tri-City Garbage

ton Of municipal garbage for one

There is a good deal OF talk Of

and we see some of 1t in Illinois.

Floyd +. Todd Says They Are as
Important TO Uncle Sam Right
Now as Are the Soldiers.

Every worker over here is just
as important to Uncle Sam right
now as every soldier over there,
declared Floyd Todd, Deere & Co.,
Moline, in a patriotic address last
evening at the Bluff Mems club:
He impressed upon his hearers the
absolute necessity for immediate
cooperation of employees with the
government to the end that the war
may be won by democracy.
The Importance of Rock Island
county industries was especially
mentioned. He predicted there
would be no decline in prices after
the war because of the industrial
demands. In speaking of the war
industries board he referred to the
fact that two of the four men which
the implement business had given
to that body were from Moline,
George Peak and L. Z. Parsonage.
Officers for the year were elected
by the club as follows:
President-H. H. Colby.
Vice president-B. F. Stowe.
Secretary-Carl Bergren.
Treasurer-0. w. Swenson.

News Of the Day i'm Moline and East Moline
MOTHER rs HAPPY
TO GIVE COUNTRY
BOTH HER SONS

I'm proud of it. It Just came in
a letter from my boy"
Mrs. A. Youngquist, 1906 Eighth
avenue, Moline, pointed to ser
vice pin she wore.
That's from Edmund" she an
nounced 10 The Argus reporter as
him. He's at Camp Merritt, y. j.,
where he was recently sent from
Camp Logan and soon will be sent
overseas"
With motherly pride she started
to read the missive but the news
paper man called a halt. He
couldn't understand Swedish-an
unusual confession for any one in
Moline to make.
Then l will tell you what it
says, for its from my boy and he's
getting along so fine and is so much
stronger than when he left home
last September" she went on.
"Oh yes. l got another boy, Raphael.
He's in the navy on the Nevada. He
left me three years ago"
And while the reporter watched
the quaint old lady adjust her glass,
mumbling to herself as she read
the Swedish words and translated
them into English, laughing at some
boyish expression about the home
eats he is missing, happy in the
thought that both of her manly
boys were serving their country,
the interviewer couldn't help think
ing that Uncle Sam should be proud
of such noble mothers, who bravely
without a tear of regret or word
of complaint are offering their dear
ones on the altar of patriotism.
But as to the letter, the scribe
didn't get much of the drift of it,
except that Edmund had been pro-
NOTED to corporal in the field ar
tillery; that he is much pleased
with the treatment he is receiving
from the government; that he is
dead anxious to get into the fight
ing across the water.
Now just listen to this" said
the little woman as she came to
the close of the letter. Here's
what he says to me and II he can
be so cheerful l guess the rest of
US ought not be gloomy. He says
You needn't worry about me.

Uncle Sam and he is taking the best
