mCtuOulbt centenary.
Or. Benson Explains Move.
This was the brief explanation that
DR.. John G. Benson, pastor of the
Wesley Methodist church, Detroit
assistant to Bishop Henderson and
executive secretary of the Detroit
Area In active charge of the Centen-
airy campaign-he has a few more
titles but space will not permit me TO
name them-gave me of the aims.
ideals and plans of this great protest
ant drive.
/ had heard this Centenary discuss
ed on all sides and I went to DR.. Ben
son for a clear, concise definition of
its plans. While this movement is a
religious and Christian movement, it
gives one a new conception of those
terms. Dr. Benson is what Is known
as a progressive preacher. He be-
lieves in practical religion and he is
working day and night to put across
the Centenary for he believes in its
teachings; world democracy, eternal
peace and Christian fellowship.
"The church has awakened" he said.
cit is-not teaching any new principles.
Christianity means helping the halt
and the blind and working among the
poor. That Is what Christ did and
that In what the awakened church is
doing. We have quit preparing peo-
pie for after life and are trying to
asst them In living seven days each
week on this earth.
AS / sat In his office at 418 Sixth
street. Detroit, II. seemed a veritable
beehivs. This man, who is responsible
for the collection OF nearly $4,000 900
In Michigan, was answering the phone
every minute. People were in and out
of his Office but sharply at 1850
o'clock, this Saturday morning. the
hustle and hustle and .clatter of the
typewriters suddenly ceased.
HaIts Work For Prayer.
I'VE have a few minutes of prayer
and song and get together at this
time, he explained. You see some
people think that our real object in
this campaign is to. get the $120,000,-
600 we have asked for. That Is part
of II, but small part. We are trying
to spread the teachings of Christ and
II we can show the men of Michigan
what good the church can do towards
bringing about an ideal world We do
not need to worry about the money
"To do this will take as much pray
or as work and so that is why we are
meeting at this time. The campaign
of iutercession is a vital part of this
drive and believe that II II goes over
Il will be due more to prayer than
any other one agency"
And so business stopped. A great
business Office was losing the time Of
. large number OF employees for half
hour. But as 1 watched this little
prayer meeting, and saw the light in
the faces of the entire gathering, I
wondered whether IL might not be
good for q few other business houses
and did not feel much doubt about
the success OF the Centenary In Michi-
gan.

Women of Michigan
This is Your Affair."

BUT YOU KNOW how dangerous
is delay. Something may come
up-you may delay and then forget
until it is too late-and then find
yourself barred from exercising that
precious privilege for which so many
good women have fought so long
DON'T DO IT-DON'T put off this
matter from day to day. 1t is vital.
You will want to vote on this amend
ment. We need not advise you
Nowhere is no doubt as to what
women will do on this subject.
ALL WE ARE ANXIOUS ABOUT
is that you register-so you will be
able to vote on this pernicious DIT
Of attempted legislation on April
seventh. And on every other issue
that is to be voted on then.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW the condi-
tions of registration, read below
we give brief outline
YOU WILL OBSERVE among
other things that you are not asked
to tell your age-merely to state
that you will be FL or over on
election day
SO THAT is EASY-isn't it2 And
the rest is just as simple
ALL YOU NEED DO IS-do it
Don't delay. Don't put it OH.
Exercise your voting privilege now
that you have it. Prove that you
prize and that your deserve it
REGISTERAToday is the best day
BUT IF YOU JUST CAN'T 60 now,
set down on your calendar certain
day and make a solemn resolve that
on that very day you will go and
register
REMEMBER-MARCH 22nd is the
last day, except in cities or town
ships of less than 10000. Then
you have till the goth. But don't
wait till tie last day. Register now
THEN YOU CAN VOTE-cast
your first ballot against that dan
gerous bill, and as you may desire
on any osher-April 7th

IS 1T NOT PROVIDENTIAL that
the first vital issue to come up
since the women of this state have
gained their franchise is that issue
which most intimately and most
seriously affects the life and happi-
ness of woman-the booze question:
IF THERE WAS ONE QUESTION
on which women have always
wished they could register their
convictions it was on this one Of the
saloon
ON APRIL SEVENTH the en-.
franchised women of Michigan will
enjoy that golden opportunity
and for that reason we are abso-
lutely certain not only of success,
but of a vote so Overwhelmingly
against this last forlorn effort of
Tie "Wets" as to end the matter
for all time
FOR WE CONFIDENTLY ex-
pect that the most intelligent
vote ever cast in this state will
then be recorded-the intelligent,
clear-seeing decision of the women
added to that of the men who
previously'voted this same question
down
FOR = MAKE NO MISTAKE
while the so-called Light Wines
and Beer" amendment sounds al
most harmless, it is the old question
under cloak of verbiage-it means
in plain language the re-opening of
the saloon.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT that
means-women know only too well
SO WE WILL NOT ATTEMPT to
anelyze that particular document
here. Time enough for that before
election day.
OUR PURPOSE NOW-our ardent
desires to impress upon the
women of the state, the necessity
of registering at once.
TRUE, YOU HAVE until March
22nd-and in cities or townships of
less than $1,000. until March 2e TIL

Applicants for the course are care

same independence as TO recreation
hours, places of eating and living as
