DIR. SMITH WRITES

Roy L. Smith, D. D., pastor of
Simpson Methodist church, Min
neapolis, who spoke at Askov
during the home talent week last
August, wrote in letter last
week, as follows:
Mr.. Hjalmar Petersen,
American Publishing Co.,
Askov, MINI.
My dear Mr.. Petersen:
was mighty glad to get your letter
of August 10th together with the pa
pers sent me relative to the chau-
tauqua. For all of the courtesy and
kindness, 1 thank you.
Under separate cover you will re-
ceive little piece of printing put
out for me a few days ago in which
I thought you might have some in
terest. 1t is reprinted from the Chi
cago Tribune of some days ago.
I look upon my visit to Askov as
one of the most interesting that I
have had in many months past and
shall remember your people with the
most cordial good will. 1t is seldom
that I have taken such interest in a
town as I took in your town. Perhaps
it was because I could see something
of the terrific price in hard work
that your good people have paid for
their present prosperity.
With most cordial good wishes to
you in your fine work and assurances
of my renewed and continued interest,
am,
Most sincerely,
| ROY L. SMITH.

IRRESISTIBLE RELIGION
The decadence of the Church and
the waning influence of organized
religion in modern life, is popular
theme with magazine writer's and stu
dents of social problems. Now and

What must the Church do to be
saved?" all of which impels US to
ask, "Have the people lost interest
in religion, or have the churches
failed to give them a religious mes
sage that compels their attention and
satisfies their spiritual cravings?"
Life cannot be made of things.
When a man has eaten his fill, found
comfortable shelter and been suffi-
GENTLY clothed, he has enjoyed about
all the satisfactions that things can
provide He then begins to demand
that things shall be beautiful, eff
cient, convenient or dependable.
These demands are an expression of
the religious nature of the race.
Religion deals with these spiritual
cravings. Men do not live on coal,
Oil, steel, cotton, corn and bonds, but
upon ideals. loves, affections, loyal
ties, beauty, truth, honor, hope, faith
and convictions. Any institution
which furnishes safe guidance in this
realm, will live as long as mothers
starve and suffer for their children
or as long as men are willing to die
for their homes and convictions.
Humanity's greatest interest is not
in food, clothing, shelter, but in find
ing an answer to the questions.
"What is the real meaning of life?"

invent, but for one argument there is
no answer-the argument of a life
that is like the one Jesus lived.
The Church has never failed to
preach in the name of Jesus-but the
irresistible religion is that which is
preached in the spirit of Jesus.

CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHED
GOLF TOURNEY WILL BE
HELD AT COUNTRY CLUB

With the successful conclusion of
handicap matched play at the Country
club over Memorial day, plans were
formulated for the holding of an open
championship match from June 4 to
June 26. Tommy Knoles has been
chosen chairman of the tournament
and announces his plans for the day
in the following.
The tournament will decide the
champion Of the local country club,
and with a dozen or so first-class
"pill" men a real contest is expected.
Preliminary tourney rules are as
folloWs-fr0m June to IL, 18-hole
qualifying rounds must be turned IN.
These will in turn be divided into four
flights of eight men each. From June
12 to 19 flight elimination will be
run off. Chairman Knoles wants 1T
understood that flight play can be run
off any time between the 18th and
25th of June, irrespective of time OF
day. The championship play-off will
be held Sunday, June 26, for 36 holes.
The prize to stimulate interest IN
this championship matched play is an
individual silver golf cup. "The cup
must be won three years by contest
ant" said Chairman Knoles, before
permanent possession may be had OF
it. This does not necessarily mean
three years in succession"
A similar match has been arranged
for the women and will be governed
with the same rules as apply to the
males.

cap matched play was won by Hen
derson Warnock against field of "a

off, with Preston holding the field
with one up at the end of nine holes,
but Warnocl1 tightened in the final
series and beat his opponent four up.
Prizes were awarded to the flight
winners as follows: Men-Warnock,
first flight, golf hose; Preston, sec
ond flight, golf cap; and Browning,
third flight, golf belt. Grand tourna-
ment prize was copied by Warnock

LOOKSLIK, WE'LL HAVE.
MID SUMMER INDIAN
ANDROLi:O CELEBRATION

That Flagstaff will have celebra-
ton, in lieu of the one we usually
have on the Fourth, seems practically
assured.
Doc Pardee Of Prescott, well-known
manager of rodeos, was here yesterday
and the day before and met number
of the business men.
If there is a celebration, it will be
the second weekend following the
Fourth, from present plans, so as not
to conflict with other nearby Fourth
celebrations and also to give more
time for preparation.
There seems to be a pretty general
unanimity of opinion that Flagstaff
should have a midsummer high-jinks.
1t was expected until recently that
the local Elks lodge would give an
other days of '49" show or some
thing similar, but the Elks recently
decided to rest this year and hit it
harder than ever next year.
There is bare possibility, however,
that the Elks will take up Doc Par
dee's proposition and sponsor this
summers celebration, making it
largely a rodeo and Indian show.
The celebration matter will be
brought up at the regular monthly
Chamber Of Commerce luncheon next
Wednesday.
