Vashon Island news-record. [volume] (Vashon, Wash.) 1919-1954, 1920-07-01

The Editor of this paper doesn t
know all the talent. We do know
a couple of the attractions, and
can assure our readers the two we
know are worth a large and APP
preciative audience. We hope the
others will be of the same high
standard. The cost IS small for
season tickets, and we believe
most of our readers can well af-
ford to try this one summers
Chautauqua out. If they don t
like it-let it be dropped when it
is over. If they do like it--let
it be made an annual affair. 1t
is new undertaking for the Is
lands, and we are confident it will
result in demand for its continu-
ance from year to year.

VAsHON'S FEDERATED
COMMUNITY CHURCH

The story told elsewhere in this
paper is the story that's being
told in sundry and divers small
towns and settlements all over
America.
The officials Of the churches are
awaking to the fact that while
the church is Of divine origin, it
must be operated very much like
any earthly institution. Believing
this, the leaders are insisting on
the work of the church being con-
Quoted along similar lines of other
business activities. We are of the
opinion that two banks, and two
newspapers, and two meat mark
cts are as much needed in Vashon
as two evangelical churches. 9th
er people believe the same thing
and for a time the two congrega-
tons are to merge, with one
preacher to support, one building
to heat and light, and one janitor
to build the fires.
And the action was unanimous,
we understand. Neither congre-
CATION knowing what the other
was doing, but both concurring in
the same thing.
We feel that is rather remark
able, and was due largely to the
wise leading of the Reverends
Keller and Martin. The plan
starts out auspiciously. But let
not the first manifestation of this
conjugal church love cease, now
that the ceremony has been per
| formed. There are duties immi-
nent for every member. The test
ing time is going to be the first
year. The new preacher ism 7
going to be either a saint or god
He is coming under favorable
circumstances, but the community
must not expect too much from
him-either inside the church, OF
outside. He will neither make the
thing go, nor keep it from going
alone. If the people of the whole
community get back of him, and
back of the federation,and honest.
ly strive for a big, live, attractive
serving church-the federated
church of the Vashon community
will extend its influence for good
far beyond the Island, and future
generations win rise up to call
those who are responsible for the
federation, Blessed.

STATE ASSEMBLY AT
BURTON OF BAPTIST
YOUNG PEOPLE

The annual summer assembly
of Washington Baptist Young
People will be held again this
year at Burton, and preparations
are under way to make this the
biggest event in the history of
these summer gatherings. Last
year about $50 were enrolled and
the attendance this year will ex-
coed that number from all present
indications.
On Wednesday of this week the
editor of this paper was permitted
to go all over the grounds where
the assembly will be held, with
Rev. 7. Fl. Hagen of Seattle, Hon.
G. A. Hill, Supt. of Tacoma parks,
w. G. Meredith and Rev. 7. S..
Fretz of Burton. The Baptist
State Convention has purchased
the point fronting the Sound to-
ward Tacoma, an ideal tract of
ground for a summer school
with natural shade, a magnificent
view and high and dry from san.
itary standpoint. Mr.. Hill was ov-
erfor the purpose of helping to lay
out the grounds in the most artist
ic and convenient plan possible.
A permanent building will be
constructed at once as a "Head-
quarter" room, and big tents for
assembly purposes, a mammoth
dining room and kitchen tent, and
dozens of smaller tents for Sleep

And 1920 isn't going to be the
exception to the rule. We point
with pride to Jefferson, jackson,
Cleveland and Woodrow Wilson
the big four of the democratic
faith. And we point with equal
pride to Lincoln, Garfield, McKin-
ley and Roosevelt-four of the
big republican executives. All
were worthy of a great people,
and history has and will give
each a place among the nation S
immortals. Each had their human
limitations, their common frail-
ties, their defamers, and their
hero worshippcrs-but let us not
forget that in America we do moi
claim for our rulers infallibility-
only that they shall always act
as they honestly believe such acts
will be for the common veal at all
times
We believe it would be calam-
ity if Governor Cox is named as
the choice of the Frisco conven-
tion-and we believe it would be
IA greater calamity if he were then
to be elected. He ism t the type of
man we have had in the presiden-
tial chair in the past 1875 years,
and ere not going to lower our
standard now. Neither would we
at all approve of the Governor of
New Jersey.
AS to the two platforms of the
two great parties, we must wait
to see the text of the one made
at Frisco, before we can clearly
analyze and compare. The ma
ton has gone bone-dry by consti-
tutional amendment. That should
settle the wet and dry question
once and for all. To defy the law
as has been done in few wet
states, is on the same level with
anarchistic bombs, the red flag,
lynching parties, and outlawry in
general. 1t must not be partly
moist, or light wines and beer or
anything else, so long as the 18th
amendment is part and parcel Of
the Constitution. There will be a
greater Independent vote cast this
fall than ever before-so it well
behooves every good citizen to
fully acquaint himself or herself
with platforms and candidates,
and vote for the general good of
our common country.

Vashon.Maury Islands: The choicest
territory between Seattle and Tacoma.
OUR BIG cHAUTAUoUA

Tomorrow, July End, the Big
Chautauqua for Vashon-Maury Is
land will open. Whether it is to
be success or not depends upon
how generous the support of Is
land people will be. Ii everyone
on the Island who is interested i'll
some of the things which spell out
mental and moral uplift, will get
in and back it with their presence,
and give it a boost every day until
it closes, it will be success.
The men and women who have
guaranteed the management a
certain amount of money, have
done so with no axe to grind. They
do not seek either financial gain
or personal glory. They have
backed the enterprise wholly from
the standpoint of enterprising
citizenship. They believe it will
give the young folks taste for
the better class of amusement, and
the older folks a refreshing rest
from the daily humdrum and
grind of milking cows, feeding
chickens, wedding the garden, and
washing supper dishes, They also
believe the older folks will get
something from the concerts and
lectures and other platform enter
tainment which will inspire, en-.
hearten, and lift them up. If the
talent is half as good as the 81
lison- White folks claim it is, all
the hopes of the young, middle
aged, and older people will be re-
alised.

SAN FRANCISCO THIS WEEK

Before another issue of the pa.
per reaches our readers the Demo
cratic convention will have named
a candidate for the presidency
and his running mate-a man for
the office of vice-president. We
do not attempt to forecast who
these men will be, But the cam
paign will then be on. During
the heat of the contest America
must not lose her head. We have
had nearly thirty presidents, re-
presenting all political faiths,
nearly all religious denominations,
many ancestral nationalities, diff
ferent states of the union-and we
are free to say there isn't a nation
ON earth, nor in all past history,
that can show as high a grade of
rulers, as the ones who have filed

vAsHoN ISLAND ON ANN

Word has just come to the ears
of Vashon- Maury Island people
that one of our young men has put
the island in general, and the
town of Portage in particular, on
the map in far way Ann Arbor
University in Michigan.
On the oath of this month Mr..
Clifford l.. Stanley, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fl. A. Stanley, of Portage,
graduated with honors from that
big school, and obtained his di-
ploma certifying that he had com
pleted the regular course in Ma
rine Engineering, emitting him to
the B. S. degree.
To show the kind of stuff of
which our Vashon Islanders are
made, it is only Necessary to say
that Mr.. Stanley finished his work
at Ann Arbor on last Thursday,
and on Monday of this weak took
up the actual duties for which
his school work had prepared him
at Bethlehem, Pa. He is Office
draughtsman in the Bethlehem
Ship Building Corporatin, which
has at its head Chas. M. Schwab.
Mr.. Stanley starts work on very
attractive salary, and we have no
doubt Vashon Island folks will
hear of him rapidly ascending the
ladder Of his chosen career.

We wish to thank the newspapers in Arkansas for the publicity they gave proposed Amendment No. B pre- vious to the recent election. As is generally known, it had majority of two to one in it's favor, of those vot- ing upon the measure, and was lost because of the large number of voters who failed to vote either way being , counted against it.
 However the sentiment in favor of this amendment is so great that we are circulatiny petitions to resubmit it, and if you see proper to say this in your columns and that those wish iny to circulate petitions can obtain them by sending to us, it will mater ially assist us in work which we be- lieve is wholly for the public good.

'These Things I Command You, That
 Ye Love One Another

There are two principles fighting for mastery in the world today.
 The one is love, the other is hate. Love is progressive, constructive. Hate is reactionary, destructive.
 Love is optimistic; Hate is pessi- mistic.
 Love brings peace, joy, happiness, contentment.
 Hate brings malace, envy, discon. tent, unhappiness..
 Those who obey Jesus, live by the rule of love.
 Such folks know Joy, Peace, Con- tentment, Happiness.
 Obedience to the commands of Je- sus is the only life to live.
