KIWANIANS HAVE
OWEN As GUEST
Revivalist Tells Ciciv Club Mem
bers Wat Takes to Make a
"ReaI Aristocraf." :"

At the weekly luncheon Friday at
The Windsor Hotel DR.. William Rus.
sell Owen, evangelistic, was an honor
guest, with P. s. Rowland, singer.
also a guest Of the club.
DR.. Owen, on invitation addressed
the club members briefly defining
what it takes to make ''real aristo-
crat" among Kiwanians. "The old
South believed in the aristocracy
blood" but we learned that if a man
was born of poverty and of
Obscure partentage but rises
above that to a place in his
city, where he lives to serve his COM
munity, believe he is a
true aristocrat. The dullest people
in Americus are the people with
good blood, but whose blood runs
sluggishly for the betterment of the
common good. They are of the aristo-
crack that are almost frantic in try
ing "a hold their present position
agaifSt the rising tide OF the new
arstocracy of service which is sweep
ing the south.
"Once we thought that the real
aristocrat was the man of money, but
we have found that if a man has
money that he made over-working
his stenographer, or got from the
underfed children of his mills, he
lis a blot on the community, and all
of his money only buys-him an eXis'
tence; he is classed by Kiwanians as
the rich poor trash of the town,
There is no place for a tight-wad in
a city Of a club.
Real arstocracy is not the aris-
tocracy of brain even. A man may
be a college graduate, or university
man with many degrees, but if he
does not know enough to be a gentle
man in his dealings with his plumber
and chauffeur, his is a spurious
learning that makes him the
laughing stock of the city. No wo-
man is a cultured woman who treats
the glove sales woman with rudeness
and superior air. Aristocracy shows
courtesy to the common people.
"The biggest man in Americus Is
the man who has faith in Americus
and his fellow and his God. The
real aristrocrat is the man who uses
his blood and money and education
to build his city and give a chance
to every underprivileged boy and
girl. He who serves Americus best
is deserving to be called Americus'
greatest"

.AF TER SEVENTY YEARS
RAILROAD May GIVE UP
Anxious to Give Up Struggle
Is Now Running On It's Nerve,
Is What Managers Say

SPRINGFIELD, H., April IA
railroad running" on its nerve is
the description given by its managers
to the Chicago, Peoria and St. Louis
railroad, the largest in the United
States to be released by the Inter
state Commerce Commission fromi
its obligation to call continue inter-
state traffic.
The bond holders have asked that
the road be permitted peacefully to
end its ftful career because expenses
are about to eat up their security.
but they have found it harder to kill
a railroad than it is to acquire one.
The final disposition of the road is
now in the hands of the Sangamon
circuit court which placed it in re-
ceivership in 1914 What jurisdic-
tion the Illinois Commerce Commits
sion viii have in this crisis is a mat
ter Of dispute. Many lawyers con-
tend the commission can only regu-
late such common carriers and has no
power to keep this road in opera
ton, and that especially in this case
only the courts can deal with the
situation because it is in effect
foreclosure proceeding and exclusive
ly within the jurisdiction of a court
of equity.

SAVE A CHILD AND
YOU SAVE 4 CITY.
DR.. Owen Declares Keeping Chill.
dren From God May Do More
Harm Than Criminals

At First Baptist church revival
yesterday Child Conversion was the
theme of Dr.. W. R. owen, and
large number of young people heard
him. He said in part:
Save a child and you save the
city. l gave myself to Jesus Christ at
10 years and understood the funda-
mental experience of surrender then
as we'll as | do now after all these
years. If boy is old enough to
be bad, he is old enough to be good
l challenge any man to tell me of
single conversion in childhood where
the boy or the girl made mistake.
Mothers by hindering children
entering the Kingdom Of Heaven by
simply trusting Jesus, when they
come of their own tender wills, may
do more harm to their homes and
their city than all the poolroom loaf
ers and second-story men combined
Every time you hear a baby wall
that is voice that calls you back
to Bethlehem. Every time you hear
man weep over his sins, that takeq
you back to Jesus weeping over
city,"
William James gives as a defni.
ton Of converson the following
which may be applied to the conver-
sion of a child: TO be converted, to
be regenerated are so many phrases
which denote the process, gradual or
sudden, by which self, hitherto di-
vided and consciously wrong, infer
ior and unhappy, becomes unified and
consciously right, superior and nap
py in consequence of its hold upon
religious activities
"The Spartans took the lives of
The weak; Bryon with a club foot;
Spinozo, weak Of body; Samuel John
son. disfgured; Isaac Newton, so
small that he could have been put IN
a quart measure; Goethe, and Victor
HUG were so weak that they were
not expected to live; Charles Sum-
ner weighed but 8 IL pounds; Des-
cartes, Gibbon, Kafler, Lord Nelson,
Christopher Wren, James Watt, John
Howard, Washington Irving, Wilber-
force. all of these would have been
Ios+ to literature, and the arts, and
civilization if they had not lived IN
a Christian land.
DR.. Owen will speak three times
Sunday, the first occasion being at
the Sunday school hour, $50, when
his message will be evangelistic to
the Sunday school
At the II o'clock service DR.. Owen
will again preach, and at 1880 in the
evening he will address the congrega-
ton.
The meetings will continue next
week at 1880 O'Clock in the after
noon and at 1880 O'Clock in the even
ing, the messages being delivered dai-
ly by DR.. Owen and the song service
under the direction of Mr.. Rowland.
