EDGEMONT TO HAVE
A CLEAN UP DAY
May Z Fixed at Meeting Of
Improvement Society
Held Yesterday.

A fair sized audience heard Attor-
ney Henry S. Lively's address on the
New Era, given before the Edgemont
Improvement society last night. Mr..
Lively said that we, as a nation and as
a people, as result of the war had
been brought to look upon things in a
new light, especially regarding our re-
sponsibility to our fellow man. He
said that in the beginning of the great
conflict in Europe the United States
refused to interfere on the ground that
It was mono OF its business; but that
later this nation was forced 10 the
conclusion that we were SO vitally con-
nected with Europe and the rest OF the
world that we, in justice to ourselves
and to the world at large, could not
stay out of the war. And as we have
been brought to realize our national re-
sponsibility so have we been brought
to realize our individual responsible
ity.
He said we used to ask ourselves
the question, "Are we our brothers
keeper?" and as a result of present
day enlightenment, we know the an
swer-we are He said when the
question is asked, who is the biggest
man in this community" the answer
of the future would be, not the richest
man, as the past has answered, but the
man who has done the most work for
his fellow man. In other words, ser.
vice is the watch-word ot the times.
Mr.. Lively thought the Edgemont
Improvement society represented the
spirit of the age,-the spirit Of prog
ress and advancement.
Before adiourning, the society voted
to have Wednesday, May z, set aside
as clean up day in Edgemont and vi.
cinity. At that time every one is urged
to clean up all refuse from his prem.
tses and place where 1t can be hauled
away.
Following the program. a social
hour was enjoyed. Music was furnish
ed by the Edgemont choir and refresh,
ments were served by the entertain,
ment committee.

THE CALL OF THE CHURCH.

The church has a message which
can rectify the causes that produce
the ills OF society. To do SO 80
ciety must cease trying every
wrong theory first and permanent
ly adopt in its aims and efforts the
principles Of rghteousness. II we
are to have stable conditions of
peace and prosperity we must look
to the church as cur guarantor. II
given cnance the church will pro-
luce an order Of society based upon
the principles OF justice. charity
and brotherly love and fidelity.
Such an order Of human conduct
should Danish the lls OF ignorance
and seldshness. Christianity has
never had a fair chance as a uni
versal solvent CT human needs. In
this day Of world wide reconstruc-
ton the church Is asking for the
right to prove her efficiency and
sufficiency to make new world OF
righteous thinkers and righteous
living. She offers no method OF
wizarGy but rather the same and
inyinosble gospel of Jesus. She
"a'lT me-, 80 herself that they may
be fitted to help make the world c
notGe<nood OF righteous kinsmen.
Seek first the kingdom of God and
It's righteousness" On this foun-
dation men can rear a permanent
order of purity. peace. plenty and
universal good VIII. Is 1t asking
too much that you give this high
purpose Of the church your honest
consideration and your faithful al
egiance?
