PLEADS FOR SOCIAL CENTER

The following is taken from the Amigo Jour
nal of Tuesday, Jan. 7. Rev. J. J. Crawford is
Rector of the Episcopal Church in that city:
The following is part of the mes
sage delivered by the Rev. James j.
Crawford at the Union Services held at
the M. E. Church Sunday evening:
False prophets there are who cry out
in our streets, peace! Peace!" where
there is no peace. We face mightier
enemy.
RECONSTRUCTION is the watch
word OF the hour. 1t is the truth upon
which hangs the freedom and democra
cy of the nations. The unit of the ma
ton is the individual. AS in the
army of the millions, the unit upon
which the strength is built is the indi-
vidual soldier. If each one is prepared
the nation is prepared. We do insist
upon personal regeneration first of all.
Do you know what it means to be
a returning soldier? 1t is evident that
the majority of people Go not. 1t
means an absolute change of every
condition which has surrounded his
everyday life. Imagine what that
| would mean to you, irrespective OF age.
Religion is the one power which has
been his constant source Of inspiration.
The first healthy instincts of the relig-
ion forced him to offer himself for
self sacrifice to his God. He went
forth following the "Whte Christ, .
the Captain of his salvation. He who
leads him not by word only, but by
the supreme sacrifice of His Body for
the Salvation of Nations. Religion is
the one rule and guide, the most forci-
BILE source of inspiration to his every
act while in camp or at war.
Chaplains of the army advise that
priest or pastor meet the returning SOL
der with the welcome of lively faith,

religious gathering by the presence OF
the Christ. "Where two or three are
gathered together in my name, there
am l." is His promise which He will
surely fulfill.
call upon this congregation for the
unity of purpose in the establishment
and guidance of good healthy condi-
tons which may surround the recrea-
ton of the young people of the city
of Amigo. This is the first principle
of RECONSTRUCTION.
That which in the history of every
well governed city naturally fulfills this
work is the SOCIAL CENTER WORK.
For this | need no appeal for your
willingness, but | do plead for the pow
er of your prayers and your personal
influence in this work which is to be

JEWISH RELIEF
DRIVE STARTS
WITH VIGOR

Hammond's committee in charge Of
the Jewish Relief Drive will have a
neat sum to start with when the cam
paign opens. Chairman w. c. Bel
man announced today that at the
Atonement Day services at the Ham
mond synagogue subscriptions were
called and that slO.5oo was contribut-
ed by those present The call for
subscriptions followed a stirring ad
dress by Judge Fisher OF Chicago.
The campaign does not start in Ham
mond until the latter part Of October
OF the frst OF November and in the
meantime. Chairman Belman and his
committee are getting everything in
shape for a quick trip over the top
The quota for Lake county is $4,000
and of this Hamond has been allotted
$4,000 With the amount which has
already been subscribed IT is believed
that the canvass Of the city will yield
a heavy over-subscription.
