we are brought face to face with the 
great Lawgiver. By the teaching of 
God’s word the heart is stocked with 
spiritual motive power. By the life 
and gospel of Jesus Christ the soul 
is provided with an ethical life. 
“The Church does most to produce 
the high ideals and noble motives 
needed to direct the use of knowledge 
imparted by the public school. it 
generates the moral sentiment that 
must go hand in hand with culture if 
human life is to be sane and sweet. 
With knowledge must go virtue if 
young men and women are to meet 
successfully the experiences of life. 
The grace to enlist for the holy war 
comes only from those spiritual train- 
ings which make one realize his re- 
sponsibilities as a son of God. The 
true moral strength needed for life 
is the gift of the Church through the 
Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Church 
furnishes a discipline, an inspiration 
an opportunity of the greatest value. 
Young people are never more safe or 
more happy, never more useful to the 
world or more certain of their future 
than when interested in religion and 
the Church, The Church stands for 
the Home, the fundamental institu- 
tion of human society. The home 
represents the most precious interests 
and the most permanent joys of hu- 
man life. In the welfare of the home 
is found the test of government the 
aim of education and the pledge of 
progress. Its purity and prosperity 
are the strength and glory of the na- 
tion. Sad will the condition of 
society be when the state fails 
to proect the family and the school 
fails to foster the domestic graces and 
virtues, viz: Simplicity, industry, 
purity, reverence. The Church ts 
the greatest and most efficient friend 
that the home has ever had or can 
have. The Church enters the home 
in all its great crises to interpret, di- 
rect and chasten its experiences. It 
cheers and counsels, comforts and en- 
courages, It brings the consolation 
of a faith in God that gives the a; 
surance of immortality. The beauty 
and glory of the Sabbath stands 
guard over all the sacred interests 
of the family. The faith that makes 
possible the highest type of woman- 
hood the Church represents and 
fosters. 
“Because the Church is the Sacred 
guardian of the home, she is un- 
alterably opposed to the deadliest 
enemy of the home, the saloon. The 
legalized saloon in a community is a 
standing menace to the safety and 
security of the home. The finished 
product of the saloon is destructive 
of every factor and virtue that makes 
the home possible in its purity and

its beauty. Let the saloon come to 
its regular fruitage in our community 
and homes would be burdened with 
sorrow, lives that are needed for the 
construction work of our community 
would be robbed of their strength and 
power and a training in lust and li- 
centiousness would develop that could 
work only injury to our community 
life. Our interest in our highest 
welfare demands that by influence 
and vote we make impossible the es- 
tablishment of the saloon in the midst 
of our beautiful town. 
“Toward this end, viz: the larg- 
est welfare of the home, the church 
is constantly working. It stands 
guard over its sanctities, it ministers 
to all its highest needs, it chastens ail 
its joys and lessens all its sorrows. 
TEL. 73-R and W 
It crowns womanhood with honor 
and blesses children with tenderness 
and fills the home perpetually with 
the melody of faith, hope, and love. 
All this the Church is constantly do- 
ing for every family so far as 
the family will yield itself to its 
influence. 
“Thus the Church is the agent of 
of God in the community for every 
good work. You are serving your 
own highest interests and that of the 
town, state, nation and world when 
you give the church your encourage- 
ment and support and receive in your 
own life the message God has for 
you through Hig Church.”
