Church Consolidation
Planned For Tyler

Tyler, Mimi, Oct. S.-Resolutions
were adopted at the annual convention
Of the Western Congregational associ-
alton, held here and at Arco, Mimi,
looking to future church work in Ty-
Ter, where all the Protestant churches
were destroyed by a tornado. A Con-
gregational church was established in
Tyler years before any other body Of
English speaking Protestant people
organized. and it was the judgment of
the Western association that one Eng
lish Protestant church is sufficient for
Tyler, other religious bodies being in
vited to unite with the Congregation
al in erecting a new church.
Steps were taken to complete such
arrangements, if possible, and the di-
rectors of the conference were re-
quested to present the needs to all the
Congregational churches of Mime
sofa. A committee Of 10, five from
Tyler and five from the Western asso-
citation, will have charge of the work.

BIRTHDAY SURPRISE.

E. E. Huyck, while at his store,
Tuesday evening, received a tele-
phone call from his wife stating that
radiator was leaking and required
his immediate attention. He made
his way homeward with the haste
which the situation seemed to de-
mand, and in the frame of mind
which leaky radiator might be ex-
pected to induce. He was told that
the trouble was in the front room and
on entering that apartment was
greeted by about a dozen gentlemen
and their wives who had assembled
for the purpose Of making glad the
occasion of his birthday. The even
ing was most delightfully."- spent with
music and visiting and ice cream and
cake were served. The gentlemen
were also permitted to indulge in ci-
gars. A feature that lent additional
pleasure to the event was found in
the fact that Mrs. r. B. Laird, one
of the guests, attained her birthday
on the same occasion. The genial
host was accorded the congratula-
tions and best wishes of all who
were present.

AMERICA FOR AMERICANS.

The following was written by
George VanPelt, of Charlevoix, bet
ter known to hundreds of Michigan
ders as "Uncle George" because of
his connection, under that name, with
publicity favoring good roads, con-
crete roads especially. We believe
Mr.. VanPelt to be pretty sound on
the good roads proposition, but on
this citizenship question we are with
him absolutely. If you are interest
ed in this letter write Mr.. VanPelt
letter, addressing it to 901 Prairie
Ave-, Joliet, H., and tell him just
what you think of it:
To the Editor:
"We want the peoples of Europe
to know that our doors are open to
them and WELCOME is on the mat.
"But we want them to understand
that if they come to live in our house
they must become members of our
family.
"We are not keeping hiding place
for renegades nor place of refuge
for reprobates.
"When a man comes over here to
settle down and make living, he
should come all the way.
"He should not come here and set
about to get rich, and then when we
ask something in return, squeal that
he is not citizen but owes allegiance
to some other power.
"We are willing to treat all our
people alike, but we want them to
bear the burdens of citizenship if
they ask the benefits of our institu-
tions.
"No man should be allowed to
take from us and give nothing in re-
turn.
eff he is unwilling to become
member of our family, he should go
back to where he came from.
"No man who is not citizen, or
at least declarant, should be licens-
ed for any business in this country.
"No man who is not citizen or at
least declarant, should be allowed
to own any real estate here.
"If he is honest in his intentions he
will be willing to become citizen; if
he isn't, we don't want him.

We are thankful that our fertile
fields have yielded abundantly of
their fruits.
We are thankful that dread epi-

has been laid waste by the cruel raw
ages of war.

valor, have written glorious chap
ter in the annals Of the Great War !;
and that the indomitable spirit of our
people has manifested itself to the
end.
But, most of all, are we thankful
that this terrible, devastating war,
which for more than nineteen
months has dominated our thought
and dictated our action, is at last
practically ended and soon we shall
be free to devote our energies and
activities to the constructive arts of
peace. The long night of darkness
and sorrow and travail and tears and
blood is over and the day of blessed
peace has dawned upon the world

CAN 1T BE TRUE?
q.

Can it be true that the people Of
Vienna, who have never yet failed
of doing their full duty; in doing all
that has been asked of them in any
of the war activities, are going to fail
in the crowning triumph that will
come of making the United War
Work Campaign a srccess? We can
not believe it. And yet, of the S3,-
215.96, which was allotted to the
township as its quota. but about
s. 900 was voluntarily subscribed
last Sunday. Surely, when our great
nation has achieved an easy victory,
when our boys have turned defeat
into victory. when freedom has been
saved to the world. when our coun-
try is facing an era of prosperity and
preeminence unparalleled in the his
tory of the world, we cannot afford
to give evidence of ingratitude for it
all. And the amount required is so.
small we can not afford to acquire a
reputation for failure so cheaply.
Why, our record in this matter is to
last through all the hundreds of years
to come. Our attitude is significant
of the moral fibre upon which the
very perpetuity of our country must
rest. Can any nation be strong
whose people desert great ideal the
moment that actual danger ceases to
threaten? Oh! let US rise to this lit
tie duty which we so thoroughly Owe
to ourselves and those who have Of
fered their lives for us. Let every
man of us, and every woman who
can do so, call at the local bank or
upon Mr.. Huyck or M. G. Doyle, or
at any business place in Clio, or upon
those who have charge of the matter
in our respective school districts and
make this subscription with rush.
And remember this--your obligation
in the matter is just as great as that
of anyone else. 1t isn't some ones
business, it's everybody's.
