SPIRITUAL TORPOR
NOT PEACE

NOT PEACE
Mrs. John G.. Urquhart, president o
the Los Angeles District Federation
says that spiritual torpor is not peace
though there may be q spurious peac,
which is the fruit of ignorance Sh,
says that club women must not be con
tent with building up a fabric o.
peace ideas inside in which, as in :
fortress, we sit out Of danger all ou1
lives; the will to peace means striving
and ceaseless effort to attain, and on,
must travel long and far to place new
sign-posts on civilization s highway.

OF well-earmed gold. lie spent tn,

And came again, and yet again, still
cold
And hungry as before.
81 gave a thought, and through that
thought of mine
He found himself a man, supreme, di

Bold, clothed, and crowned with bless.

And now he begs no lnore.'
NEW CLUBHOUSE
Some one has said if the idea is big
enough, it will dwarf all smaller in
terests, and this is proving true in the
Friday Morning Club of Los Angeles
as the more than 1000 members set
themselves to the task of raising off
hand the sum of $4,000 as finishing
fund required by the contractor before
the 100000 building will be started
Nobody doubts that the sum will be
provided with every member putting
her shoulder to the wheel and the en-.
tire city interested to the extent that
they will patronize the many functions
the club is sponsoring as money pro
ducers.
But the enterprise that interests Ell
Centre most, is the building of the club
house recently started by the Ten
Thousand Club. 1t will not be $500,
600 proposition, but it will be q neat
and commodious meeting place for the
leading organization of women in the
county. 1t will cost when finished and
furnished not less than $4,000, but il
can be put over nicely If the members
and their friends stand by with en-
thusiasm and loyalty such as the Fri
day Morning Club project has inspired
At the meeting Thursday, some OF
the plans are to be discussed and every
member should be there to express
herself. There will be program o:
deepest interest, entertaining, educa
tional all that q truly great club pro
gram should be.
