r"when the baseball writers wanted the previous

of human activity. Each years record is ~extraor-
binary in its minutiae, containing every play of every

game has at his disposal a docketing of facts which
would be the envy Of a historian.

The question has been raised as to
whether or not We can afford a water

as we may need to build our water
system. They have shown great con-
fidcnce in us, but If we are so unwise
as to vote down the bond issue, It will
CAUSE these bankers, and the public
in general to question our intelligence.

dies of history are too well known to
admit of such a thing in America
But we do believe in the inseparable
connection of religion with govern

The church has always in America
been the one institution upon which
the government could absolutely rely.
The days of the late war are fresh in
our minds. 1t was the church that
was the greatest recruiting agency,
the greatest morale builder. the great
est instrument for propaganda for war

nation possessed.

church is the greatest giver in tn
