?■•■; "The United Stttra tody f acas a
oriels as muoh worse than tbat ot '61
as Lesine is .worse than Jefferson Davis, aad Trotatty 4s worse than Reb-
ert R Lee," declared Rev. Dr. 9 B.
Ferrer in his sermon on "Abraham
i-inseiB" in the Jeffereon A Tense
Presbyterian chavob, Detroit, 3u_d&y
merning.
**T!»i_ crisis is. to ceoide whether
were brute force or man's moral
sense shall dominate, the world.
Sbrist . or anti-Christ! The great
werld war bas only intensified ibis
•oxttess. It is a crime for any man
and a. heinous crime for a Christian
.man to be indifferent to tbe issueB of
the present struggle-  .
"I have gone, only recently, from
eaurch gatherings,-with tbeir empty p?wj and their spirit of indiffe:-
pr>c«, to socialistic gatherings in uur.
eity, where standing room was at a
premium and enthusiasm at wbite
heal. •--'---•With" Christian civilization
trembling in-the balaT<», no right-
minded man should think to remain
a mere neutral spectator.
"Tba challenge of the Christ rings
as clear as a clarion—"He tbat is not
with Me is against Me." It was never
mors necessary than rjgbt now that
men should show tbeir colors.
"Tbs hope of humanity depend*
largsly on just this—that every man
ef moral sense and Christian principle shall shake from his limbs ail
selfish shackles and enHat with heart
aad strength in the great: spiritual
crnsade. ^;
"The progress of the -world is not
retarded by bad men half so much as
it is by good men who have stopped!"
Instead of tbe deadly indifference of
Christian people to Christ's service
driving scores upon scores of Christian ministers out of the pulpits, a
fresh devotion -- of 'the servants of
Christ must exert 41self to draw all
men to His feet to learn from Him,
'the way and tbe truth   and the life."

-More Attention To Politics.
Politics in a republic is tbe control
of public affairs by public opinion.
Tbs- man «»bo deprecates polities
deprecates tbe American form o f
government. Tbe noblest occupation
of tbe citizen is politics,—the exercise
of hie sovereignty,—tbe only sovereign^ recognized in a republic. Tka
citizen may eay be ie not interested
in politics, but tba. wiii not prevent
politics taking an interest in bins,
aad affecting the conditioner which
aarronnd him and his children nod
bis children's children, " The
for tbe good citizen to do is not to
sneer at politics but to bear sucb a
hand in it that-politics will less jueti-
Bbly be sneered att for it politics ie
ever contemptible, it is because citizens are contemptible enough to let
it become so. As Chairman Hays
says, what we need Is not less politics
but better politics, which - can be
brougbt abont only through more
attention to politics by citizens whose-
ail tco familiar habit is to stand aside
and deprecate the agencies of government* If tbere ever was a time
for politics in tbis country, tbat time
is now, and if, on the part of the
Republicans, tbere ever was a time
when they sbonln take an active intelligent and ^patriotic interest in
tbeir party tbat moment far tbe present. For it is the Republican party,
ioevKably, tbat is to be charged
wish ibe responsibilities of national
government after March 4, 1921. It
is a time for tbe fullest and freest
discussion of issues and candidates
and for tbe most unselfish and effective party effort. :-        AAA"'. ~? -^ A.'

Although it would have been more

as in this point I found tbat I bad
the 'misfortune to differ in opinion

47 years, 3 months aud 23 days having
been a patient sufferer from rheumatic m and heart trouDle for four yeara.
Sbeu moved witb ber parents to
Brown Corners, Clare county, 37
years ago and was united in marriage
to James J.^ower April 8, 1839 To
tbis union were born three children.
~~ Some thirty yeara ago sbe became

been a faithful follower of Christ.
She was a good .companion, kind

and we can aii be guessing just what
may be discussed under such   a   title.
It is certainly to be hoped tbat Jay
that date health conditions may
materially improve and ibat the bouse
may be filled to greet tbis lecturer.
A lecture of tbisTxind would'cost ordinarily at least 50 cents and we may
all feel grateful to the Club foe providing such a treat. We baye bad

Our University authorities recognize
the fact that comparatively few can
attend tbe University- and tbis is an
effort tc take the University to the

locality show an appreciation
effort, tbey are not likely to

"Roosevelt   is   dead."     Why   should
tbat line
Strike to my heart as if it told
The deatb of some close kin of mine.
Father   or   brotber,   friend   of old?
I never saw bim face to face—
Just once some fourteen   years ago
0-v.side tbe  crowded meeting   place,
Wo en   he   addressed the  overflow.
The fearless eyes, the firm set chin,
A man who loved the nobler fight—
The short swift gesture* driving in
Tbe things he knew   were just  and
riffbt;
A. newer, deeper reverence
For things that never can grow old;
Judgements so filled witb com con
sense
Fools did not realize their gold.
And things which statesmen scorn to
preach,—
Tbe  love  of  children,   home    and
wife;
Old-fashioned   laws   yet  ones   whose
x       breach
May sap tbe proudest nation *a   life.
So with hiB passing now it seems    ^
Tbe eld, old order too is dead.
The new witb all its restless dreams,
Revolt and chaos lowers ahead.
Th' oncoming storm in rage   assaults
•v Tbe rock3  that   bulwarked   all   our
past.
And yet tbat age with all its faults
Held things to wbich we must  bold
fast.
Tbe outworn temples we thoughtgood,
^FaJse gods may well be overthrown—
Tbe broad foundations wbere bo stood
'  We still will cherish as oar own.
"Roosevelt is dead." Onr leader gone!
To-day tbere stands bis vacaoccbalr
Not In tbat island borne alone—
By myriad firesides everywhere.
He loved us!    Swift'our torches light
With   tbe   bright   fire   bis courage
gives.
We shall not falter in tbe fight—
Rooeeve4£ isdead.   His spirit lives!
