A friend, upon lieinjr asked as to Ins church m tiil lat i ns. answer-j --td. --td. "I am a Baptist. Imt 1 hiii not working it very diligently." This brings out a point of more than ordinaiy iinpoitance. The thiug of Iff josing H8 a cliiirch member, a business man, a lodge member, an Aniericau or any Other thing and not' being alle to qualify is a mat-iy? ter of serious import. II there is nnytliing that would make usj bristle up and want to tight it would be that sojue one had, classed j UC us as beinir un-Arneriean. Tlie inhabitants of the I'nited States i pride themselves on being -Americans. .It - means a great deal. It i. worthy pride. Hut ' Being an American carries with it a urcat -jeKHis-ibility, One cannot simply exist in America and claim the distinction of being an American. He may not be iin-Anierican ; he may be just a pas-j hive American entitled to the distinction by reasun of living under tlie American Hag. It is true that the American Hag protects imun j j people not wholly worthy of its cxahed .standard, ami ! be full entitled to the name American, one must aiiire liis living with hi'j!ij priucileR of citizenship that imbued the fathers who founded tin republic. These principles govern the man deserving .the title.; Thev reach into his business, and arct part of his social activities. his every thought and act. A true red-blooded American cannot conduct, his business in a dishonest manner. lie cannot stand off and criticize, the government without doing his part to correct real or imaginary faults, lie must stand upon the principles that make Americans. Jt is the faithful observance of principles and not the fact that he lives under the American (lag that makes a real American. The Flag ft When Betsy.

The value of new ideas is over-rated. The one thing that takes a man ahead is his ability to get one pood idea, and then stick with it through lean and fat years, through war and peace, through fire and blood. Too many of us jump from one idea to another, from one job " to another, scrapping a host of good ideas and good experiences as we race along. Few businesses ever die from lack of good ideas. Rather they die from, lack of men who can carry out ideas good executives, men who can take an assignment and then come back with a package under their arms, men who. if you please, "carry the message to Garcia." 'No one except the man who pays the bills knows how expensive it is to experiment with new ideas. Mormon Missionaries Are Getting Both Favorable and Unfavorable Publicity In English Papers The English press is becoming more broad in its view of Mormonlsm and occasionally the missionaries got some favorable publicity. Below Is clippings sent home by Elder Peter Clarke which indicates how ideas are seized upon to make news about, the Mormons. The answer by brother Clarke was published following the appearance of theJii'st article. Mormons At Plymouth Girls with Bobbed Hair In Particular Request To all Ithose members of the fair ex who have been bobbed, shingled, or blngled, a word of warning.

Hut, whatever his intention, inten-tion, unfortunately tlie public state of mind in regard to "Mormons" is such that many pu'nple are inclined to believe anything and everything against them, no matter now contrary con-trary to reason or opposed to common com-mon sense. As one of the two "Mormon" missionaries mis-sionaries stationed here, I would nsk that if anyone posing as a missionary J of our Church makes any suggestion that any woman or girl should leave Plymouth for tTtah or any other place that person should be given into in-to custody and my' colleague and 1 will appear against him an witness that he is an impostor. The mission aries of this Church are sent out to tfach 'the' Gospel' of Jesus Christ, and In their tracting. etc, are instructed to have as little as possible to do with young women and girls.
