Annual Memorial Sermon Is
Preached On Sunday
Morning
PATRIOTIC SOCIETIES
ATTEND THE SERVICE
Must Face Life's Battle With
Courage Declares The
Speaker

The annual memorial sermon to
the members of Joe Hooker Post, No.
21, G. A. r., was delivered Sunday
morning at the Congregational church
by the pastor, Rev. M. S. Freeman.
The members of the Women's Re.
lief Corps, the War Mothers and
members of other patriotic organiza-
tions of the city Joined in the SER
vices.
Rev. Mr.. Freeman delivered a most
interesting sermon, taking his text
from Ecclesiastes third chapter, the
tenth and eleventh verses. He spoke
in part as follows:
"These words give two great
truths: First, Humanity's hard exper-
fences are not meaningless accidents
but are given for discipline; second,
'He hath set eternity in their hearts
means that God has put that into
mems hearts which makes them give
the great response to those things
whose values lie in the eternal inter-
ests.
"The experience of the Civil war
revealed these truths in striking
way. First the war was hard and
bitter experience, but it brought dis
cipline that purified the American
spirit of the sin of the federation of
slavery. 1t also sent back into the
life of the people more than million
of young men who in the war had
learned to see things big, to work to-
gether and to know the value of lead
ership To this was due a great
measure of the wonderful develop
ment and expansion Of industry and
commerce in the years following the
war.
Second, the great motives that fill
ed the ranks with volunteers were
the moral and eternal issues at stake.
The ideals of, liberty, of humanity, of
pity for the oppressed Of greed and
material advantage; and the young
men of the day swiftly made their
choice and paid the price, at the cost
of life if need be. The south said
the men of the north were money
grubbers, and would not fight The
answer came at Shilo, Vicksburg, Get,
tysburg and Appomattox. Another ma.
ton said in our own day that America
would not and could not fight. The
answer was given at Chateau Therry
Saint Mihiel and the ArgOnne For
est.
mo nation can afford to forget that
God hath set eternity in the hearts
of men, especially if she has to dc
with America.
I'VE must, then, face life's hard
things with courage and cheer and
find in them her helpful discipline.
"We must also give the free re
sponse to the call of the eternal in
terests for it is God call to the di
vine that He has put into our ma
tore; and our response let's loose the
forces that make for progress by
which He is leading the world on
ward to that high destiny He has pre-
pared for mankind"

THE BOLSHEvIKI

They stood there i'm the street
A haggard pack. No hope had they
That they might rise or see their
children rise.
With heads bowed low their eyes
could not look up.
For centuries they had not looked
Their fellows in the face:
Much less TO look above
And see power
That is higher.
The ground has kept their eyes.
What then
Gould we expect but acts as low?
The light within their brain is red
dened light,
Colored by many years OF suffered
wrong.
And now when chance has come to
Them
When the rich are helpless,
The rum Of wrong from out the key
q of centuries
Spurns them 10 deeds of hate.
IL is not good, but yet
We can not blame you, Bolsheviki.
We only trust
That from the storm will come

SOUTHEASTERN WISCONSIN
IN THE GREAT ICE AGE

Southeastern Wisconsin has long
been considered by biologists and
geographers one Of the classic re-
gions Of the world for the study Of
the work of the glaciers of the
Great Ice Age. During that age a
succession Of vast ice sheets spread
over much Of Wisconsin and other
Northern States. As they advanced
southwark from Canada they secured
out lake basins and river valleys
and gathered an immense load OF
ground-up rock. pebbles. and boul-
ders. Much Of this material lodged
within and beneath the moving ice
and when the ice melted was left
spread over the land like a mantle.
Many valleys were partly filled:
some streams were in places forced
To cut new channels. such as the
Dells Of the Wisconsin: and thou
sands of untitled hOllOws became the
basins Of beautiful lakes. such AS
Lakes Geneva and Delavan and the
lakes of the Madison and Oconomo-
woo regions. A large part of west
ern Wisconsin was never covered
by the ice, and in this part are
found picturesque bluffs and castel-
lated towers, such as those in the
Camp Douglas region. A study of
these features gives a very illumi-
mating conception Of some Of the
ways in which the earth's surface
was prepared for the occupancy Of
man. yw

fLAUNT WEALTH DUE TO WAR
Extravasanees INDUCED in by Japan's
NEWLY Rich" Have Brought Forth
Bitter Condemnation.

Mr.. Shloiri. a Tokyo barrister, in
the Horitsu Shimbun claw Journa)
refers to some remarkable examples
of the extravaganza INDUCED in by
| certain "narikin." Ii is said that a
wellknown mine owner In Kyushu
gave dinner party in Tokyo recently
to 80 guests at 800 yen a head. The
how to go the limit" provided a
'geisha" for each guest. engaging all
the most expensive members of the
profession who were available.
A Kobe 'narikin" entertained some
guests to dinner at Tokyo restaurant
the other day. the cost per head being
100 yen. A "funa-narikin." during
stay at lkao. ordered by telephone
from Tokyo restaurant two dishes of
"unogldomburi" on condition that the
food should arrive hot after travelling
about 100 miles. The proprietor of
the restaurant took the order. engaged
motorcar. fixed up "bibachi" to
keep the food hot. and delivered the
goods at the mountain resort in two
hours and half. returning with 200
yen In his pocket.
Mr.. Shioiri fears there will be many
more cases OF crazy waste OF money
by 'narikin," who, he says, are stingy
enough in donating money for the re-
lief OF the poor or sufferers from
ealamities. They are simply mad
men whose actions corrupt public man
ners aud morals"
The Tokyo barrister thinks that just
AS II was legal under the feudal sys-
TEN TO eonfiscate the property OF such
swollenh headed men, II would be adj |
visable today to levy heavy impost
upon them 50 that they may be pre-
vented from repeating such foolish ac-
tons as those referred TO. /

SOUTHERN WOMAN
ON NEGRO LOYALTY

Winston-Salem, N. C.. - Miss Kate
NJ. Herring, Director Of Publicity
for the North Carolina War Savings
Committee, has recently published
in Northern and Southern magazines
some interesting facts in regard TO
The thrift campaign among Negroes
IN her state. In the BLACK Belt"
where in fourteen counties the Ne
groes average So per cent of The
population, the average subscription
was 80 percent of the allotment. 4
per cent more than in the state AT
large. In the county which sub
scribed 1913 per cent Of its allotment
the Negroes form ~ per cent Of the
population. They furnish from - 10
81 per cent Of i3 Of the 10 counties
which subscribed 100 per cent or
over. Subscriptions ranged from
that OF a Negro who took the limit
OF $1,000 for each member of his
family to those whose subscriptions
were paid for in 25-cent stamps. in
GLIDING a washerwoman with a blind
husband who subscribed for $4,000
worth for herself and him.
Miss Herring gives three reasons
for this remarkable showing: the
black" counties are agriculturally
rich; the Liberty Bond campaigns
did not draw largely on this section:
and North Carolina recognized the
Negro as an American citizen. and
gave him responsibilities the same
