would be a live one when he was
informed that this club held its ini-

Man Ever Builder
In his remarks, the reverend gen.
tleman referred to the very begin
ming that man was a builder and
showed by comparison how civiliza
and ever widening his borders
Men are now laboring together fol
the common good. Men are now liv-
ing for the nation and the commun
ty, rather than themselves" he
said.
1t might be stated here that Rev
Jensen made such an impression as
an orator with the st. Paul and
Minneapolis Kiwanis representatives
that he was engaged to speak to the
club in the twin cities at future
dates.
The time was getting late and
President "Pete" said he wished tc
