Guiding more than 100 members Of
the Kiwanis club. heard Rev. Albert

on the motto Of Klwanis. we Build"
at the Sunday night service Of the
First Methodist church. The text of
ReY. Mouger's sermon was. LEI

He said.
This text represents the true spir-
il OF Kiwanis II presents 10 US the
picture Of the city that now is in
contrast with tho city that Is 90 be.
Just as there could bo no improve
ment in the city of Jerusalem until
the walls were built So there can be
no great realization Of the ideal city
until we build up its walls Let US
translate this motto of Klwanls.
I'VE Build into terms of the con-
crete. The city that Is 90 be. is far
beyond tho city that now is. II is
for the helping 10 build that city
that is 20 be. that Kiwanis and other
kindred organizations are timed 10
play their part.
Evils Of Composition.
Men have been motived in the past
all too largely by the competitive

important factors i'm building the
walls Of our modern cities. Let me
give 70 this motto. We Build four
definite and concrete applications.
I'VE build the business wall. Bust.
ness creates the city. The concen-
tration OF people also muttpIies and
intensifies many evils which if lefi
in rural communities would soon die
or have very little effect upon the
community These are TO he over

men think and act IL Will not he In
the light Of self and greed aud com
petition but that of service and the
good that they can do.
How ought the business of a city
be conducted? Should industry b'
run for profits without regard Il
