Tacoma, wash. April s,-The city
councils refusal to allow the soldiers

Church Is Connecting Link
Between God and Man,
Is Rev. Bowers View.

Does the average man give the
church a square deal?"
No"
According to the sermon of DR..
Leslie L. Bowers. at the Fifteenth
Street Christian Church last night.
the church does not get the deal 1t
should from the average man.
There are many organizations and
lodges in the world for the uplift of
the people. They are doing wonder
full work in bringing them to better
fellowship and to a higher moral
plane.
But there is only one institution In
the world that handles the work of
reconciling man to God.
That Is the church
THE church Is more alive now than
at any time in the history of Christi
anity. The government recognized this
during the liberty loan campaign.
Many millions of dollars were raised
through the aid and Cooperation of
the churches.
III the average man would discard

heid against the church, and would
really seek for the truth. and the cor
rect status of things, he would find
that the church is NOT sleepy. but

OF 1900 men sent overseas by the
