RELIGION OF A PERSON

the face Of God. He assumes to be
more than man. 1t would be
ridiculous, it would be blasphem-
Gus, for you or for me to say these
things, but it does not shock us to
hear them falling so quietly yet
confidently from the lips of Jesus.
The egotism of Jesus is the egot-
ism of godhood. If He is what He
assumes, He could not say less. In
His sufferings He emptied Himself
of His~godhood that His sufferings
might be real; but do not misun-
derstand Him. He never takes a
second place. His test of religion
is devotion to Him.
You are trying to be religious.
You attend church and contribute
to pious causes. You engage in re-
ligious activities. Why? What is
your objective? Who is to benefit
by all this? A close analysis will
show that much of our religion
never gets to Christ at all.
Much that We do, We do because
we like it. 1t is decent >and re-
spectacle. 1t makes us feel inn
portant. 1t is expected of us. 1t
helps the church to make a good
record. All this is nice, but it is
not being Christian.

Conspicuous Oversight.

Rock Island made a mistake in failing yes
terday to have general observance Of Armi-
stice day. Communities on both continents
halted for q time and in various ways took
cognizance OF the date on which the greatest
catastrophe in the history of the world was
brought to halt. Even Davenport had its
celebration and upon q scale that must have
caused feeling of humiliation on the part
OF the patriotic people Of Rock Island.
It was not that Rock Island had forgotten.
Il was simply another of those occasions when
somebody neglected to act True, there
were few small celebrations, and in the
schools the children were reminded OF the day
and its historical import, and in some of the
buildings the children stood in silence for
moment in tribute to the memory of those who
fell in the conflict, but the omission that should
not fail to impress US all year hence was on
the part Of the men and women Of the city,
the ones who must be looked to in keeping
fresh our memorials Rock Island performed
nobly In all activities incidental to the war,
in its contribution Of fighters, in money and in
service by men and women in assuming re-
sponsibilities at home while loved ones were
in the war zone, and it is to be regretted that
the city should have ignored recognition of
the goal for which II with other peace Loving
communities of the nation fought-the ending
Of the war.
While Armistice day has not yet been de-
clared national holiday, it will be, probably
at the next session Of congress. But Rock Is
land did not have to wait for legislative action
in order to indicate its gratitude Other cities
didn't The Argus, in referring to the over
sight, does so in the hope that another year
will not catch the city mapping, There are
| numerous organizations in the city, any one OF
which could take the initiative. 1t will only be
| necessary to remind the people a few weeks
/; ir advance that Armistice day is on the way
What it meant to humanity all know or ought
to know. The price paid before the Armistice
was signed we all know.
In observing Armistice day it is not neces-
sary, In honoring the day and the memory OF
those WHO forced the conclusion OF the war
to suspend business aud work in the city
Even If an hour were agreed upon in which
ali might turn their minds to the occasion thai
would sufice. Then there should be genera
display Of flags. and concluding the day Their,
! might be . mass meeting with addresses il
which the significance Of the day would b,
impressed.
J What form the observance would assume il
| Of little moment The important thing is tina
Rock Island should not again be guilty of let
ting Armistice day pass--without showing it
colors. 1t was q bad break.

Love goes where It will and it is
difficult to change its course. The
only thing for you to do is to try
to be more attractive to the girl
than the other man. Take her
places you know she would enjoy
and show her courtesies which you
may think are manly, but which will

pany. Most men are careless about
walking on the outside Of the walk
when in the company OF women
Such a thing is trifling, but means
a great deal to many girls. Let me

so much that you tire her. When
you call, do not stay over two
hours, and when you decide to go

Christianity is not the religion Of
a creed or a cult. or a ritual or a
system; it is the religion OF per-
son.
Jesus was the greatest egotist

religion was devotion to Him. The
most superficial study of His teach
