then on he knew the pressure Of
poverty but was determined to secure
an education for himself, and did so,
working his way through Kent college

man, was made editor of that publica-
ton without any previous wish on
the part of Mcclure to become an
editor This was the beginning of his
career as he was known to the Amer

WORK PROGRESSING
ON WARNER ROAD


Cement on the Warner road is be-
ing laid along the street west OF the
old school building in the Third ward.
BY the end of the month the high
bridge will be reached. It is doubtful
if any cement is laid between the home
of ]. i. Bonham and the lake this fall
The county has a large force of men
and teams grading through the Thiele
property up to the park entrance. In
the park masons are building the re-
tanning walls along the road and teams
are grading for the cement. The grad
ing will be finished this fall providing
favorable weather continues. With a
few days or rain the task OF complet-
ing must remain until next year. It
has been impossible to obtain help
enough to do the mason work and
grading in the park the past season.
A large slice of next summer will be
gone before the road is completed.

Dear Sir: | cannot withhold an ex
preston of indignation at the treat
ment of the churches by the powers
that govern our city. | don't know
who is responsible. AS a minister o
the gospel | feel intensely the insul'
offered Sunday by Sunday to Almighty
God in that while gatherings for al
business and educational purposes
are allowed, a ban is placed upon the
worship of God. Because six cases OF
flu are registered in a week we are
forbidden, what is to us, a necessary
privilege, the worship of Almighty
God. We have in all things hitherto
been loyal c~ooperators in all efforts
for the good of the community. We
are still, but we intend to bear wit
ness to the energy of our conviction.
| want to lay these following facts be-
fore the public: First, the numbers
attending the church services in the
several churches are fewer than the
numbers present in stores during the
week. For instance, u Holy Com
munion ian intensive act of devo-
tom is attended by six or eight peo-
pie, all of them personally known to
us, in a building seating 200. Our
average congregation for many months
has been below 80. We have met in a
well ventilated building, with the at
mosphere saturated with benetol, for
a period of one and a half hours in a
week. During the period of the
epidemic we willingly closed. Now we
come to a situation in which six cases
are registered in n week, in which the
stores feel safe in holding sales,
where there are gathering, for hours
in the day, and every day, more peo-
pie than gather in our church once a
week. Furthermore no intimation of
The ban is vouchsafed until all our
work for Sunday is prepared, viz,
}:45 a. m. on Saturday. Is this either
or courteous treatment? Is this
attitude towards the Christian church
compatible with the constant appeal
made for cooperation in the war ac-
All l ask for, is that the
authorities take the trouble to in
vestigate what numbers gather in the
churches and under what conditions,
md to act accordingly. / am not ask
