We Make the Peace

W. NAV not have much latitude,
Nor have on life a long term lease
But I am sure attitude
May help to shape the Peace.
We cannot map the boundary lines,
Or pray for borders we'll secured
Impose great sanctions just fines,
without all human rights insured
BEFORE we move to ope close
Vast Chna's economic doors,
Let's look beneath our own nose
And kneeling, scrub our soied hoors'
Tomorrow, ere teach the good
In far off lands, of love and labor,
Wbv not extend today true brotherhood
Sincerely to the nextdoor neghbor!
If we would build peace to last,
Demand the world turn democratic,
End the foreign ghosts of hatreds past
Chains must not rattle in attic!
Within our little spheres of influence
We can save a world from fraud
And write by golden rule pursuance
More peace than diplomats abroad.

Recreation Center
Minneapolis, MINI.
January 20, 1915
Editor: would like to take time
to congratulate the boys who have
made an effort to organize Youth
Club for our young people.
Though, through the opposition
of certain groups, the dream of
these young men may never be fully
realized, still the fact must be
faced.
Our youth not only visioned but
put into practice their desire to
do something for themselves.
Young people are going to have
recreation whether we give it to
them or not.
There is much to be gained by
group experience. Participation
leads to a better understanding of
an appreciation for responsibility.
Association with a group tends to
bring out favorable traits, and spe-
cial talents, also defects in char
acter have been corrected this way,
with no harm coming to anyone.
1t is gratifying to know that our
children are more democratic than
we older people. We as a group
talk of segregation. When we
stress certain classes and districts,
we are practicing segregation.
Let US as parents back our chill
dren in a worthy cause and main
tain a firm belief that association
with others will not wreck the seed
Of goodness that has been planted
in the home.

In loving memory of our dear mother,

life Jan. 20, 1914.
There's an open gate at the end Of

Through which each must go alone,
Beyond the gate our loved one finds
happiness and rest
And there's comfort In the thought
that a loving God knows best.
