gYnYtHl GO men neglect church
Wv attendance? If you mean
IeaSEe9 all men. do not attend
church you are in error It is true
that far too many stay away from
divine worship The following rea-
sons can be assigned why certain
classes neglect this important duty:
FIRST: A scared Sabbath CON
science sends men to the golf links
on the Holy Sabbath.
SECOND: The gasoline mania
causes thousands to take the family,
the dog, and the lunch basket. into
the automobile early Sabbath morn
ing when they begin to break the
Ten Commandments, the speed
saws, the rules Of domestic tranquil
ity and Sabbath observance.
THIRD: Screenitis sends thous-
ands in to the motion picture houses,
where they make a pagan attack up
on Gods Holy Day,
FOURTH: Laziness keeps thous-
ands at home wrapped in the bed
clothes Of Incidence and filth too
indolent, sIoven and filthy to dress
and attend divine worship.
FIFTH: False conception Of wor-
ship, or because the sermon is poor,
or the minister worse than dead,
they drift into the habit of neglect
ing church attendance.
SIXTH: A large number Of those
who stay away do so because they are
plain pagans; their education is de-
fective; their breeding is below the
standard. They are just plain hea-
then No WeM-bred, weIl-tl aimed,

TWO Platoon SYSTEM
WANTED BY OCTOBER |
Chairman Hjerpe Will Ask
For Council Committee
to Aid Work

Chairman Emil Hjerpe OF the board
OF fire commissioners will submit a
resolution to the common council at
the June meeting asking for the ap-
pointment Of a council committee TO
act with the fire board in drafting a
two platoon system to be inaugural
ed in the fire department, October /.
Chairman Hjerpe conferred this
morning with Mayor A. M. Paonessa
relative to the plan and reports the
whole-hearted support of the chief
executive.
1t is expected that data relative to
proposed platoon plans will be pre-
pared by Chairman Hjerpe and sub
mtted to the new committee to work
on. Mr.. Hierpe has been studying the
systems used elsewhere for several
months and has gathered much valu-
able material which will be embodied
in his recommendation to the COM
mittee.
With Mayor Paonessa strongly in
favor of two platoon and having
given his promise to place no OBJ
stacles in the way of the adoption of
a system with reasonable expenditure,
it is practically assured that after
several years of waiting. the firemen
will soon have the much sought
change in working hours
A canvass of the common council
membership indicates feeling, both
on the part of republican and demo-
crat members. in favor of giving the
platoon plan trial, it is said.
1t is understood that one of the first
matters to be considered by the new
committee in this respect, will be an
adjustment in wages which. it is fig
ured, will reduce the cost of installing
the system.
