1.-THE great lesson that we are to
learn from this is that if we would
have the world be better, if we would
make Great Falls a cleaner, bigger,
broader and better city. it must be done
through the labor, the cooperation
and devotion of all of our citizens. The
reformation and the progress of any
city or community must be wrought out
by heroic souls.
Must Pay the Price
''The progressive steps of a race
never take themselves. The rot never
takes itself out of an apple. 1t must
be cut out. Disease does not cease
to exist of it's own accord; it must be
healed. Selfishness does not cure it
self; it must be expurged and unset
| fishness put in its place; and any citi-
zen of Great Falls who wants to see
a better city, if he wants to see boys
! and girls educated, trained and Chris
tanned, must pay the price. There is
no magic wand that may be waved to
produce the results without effort.
The cost of all gain is labor, effort
and sacrifice.
The poet Dante lived amid the
strife of parties-the Guelph and the
Ghibelline. When he wrote the divine
comedy, he found no place in heaven.
hell or purgatory for the wretcLes who
never lived. those who never felt the
urge or the ecstasies of the progressive

sing. L Know That My Redeemer
Liveth.' He stopped her in the midst
of the effort with a stern question.

Then, courage. Let US arise and
build. Let us build as thousands of
old have rebuilt. When Nehemiah and
his host had finished the task and the
great walls of Jerusalem were re-es-
tablished and the people safely housed
within the sacred precincts of the holy
temple it is said that the walls were

wells. and a thousand others who never
work. There is no reward. no poetry.
no marble. no song for such neutral
ones. Let us. in the sight Of the
Christ. strengthen our hands for the
work for the building Of a new c~iviliz-
alton that shall be infinitely greater
and better than the fabric of the civil
