SOME RECENT IM-
PROVEMENT NEWS.
A gentleman remarked to us yester-
day that if several others in Bay City
would boost as well as the Tribune
don’t care a rap about the boosting if
a few of them will jar loose from some
of their coin and cop some of the
good things the town could have be-
fore outsiders come in and gobble ’em
up. Bay City is no longer a village.
On the contrary, she is a live, hustling
commonwealth, a city, and growing
greater every day. The man who
doesn’t see this is surely asleep. For
the man of means, there is opportun-
ity upon opportunity all about him
and all he has to do is to wake iip.
Once we get enterprises to coming
right the end is accomplished. Our
location, our transportation facilities,
pur great canal systems, our match-
I ess soil and our people form suffi-
cient arguments for the man who
wants'the best and for the man who
knows. The town is not overstepping
herself nor growing faster than the
country—the growth is steady, sure
and permanent everywhere. The
farmers are coming and will take care
of the agricultural end. Give the city
. the enterprises and industries she is
entitled to and then watch the build-

without the slightest risk of witness-^
ing any objectionable pictures,” says I Club, is nearing completion
the announcement. This, believe the
directors, constitutes ample reason
for bringing in from commercial life
the pictures and annexing them to the
church devoted to spiritual welfare.
Schools, too, are another of the
great fields that motion pictures have
but lately invaded. The attention of
children is more easily held by he
pictures, and things which they are
unable to comprehend when explained
to them verbally, they readily assim-
ilate when thrown on the screen.
Geography is made real and interest-
ing and history no donger is a dim
and incomprehensible tale of the past.
The scientific departments of Penn-
sylvania, Columbia, Yale and many
other colleges are awakening to this
fact, and are using moving pictures in
connection with their work.
Several companies turn out a regu-
lar series of scientific and educational
films.

that nothing could stop the town. We faces as they rocked deaf and obliv-
ious by the fireside. They were as
like as brother and sister. I said:
‘Here is a mystery; what is it?’ And
then I thought: ‘They have lived the
same thought, they have thought the
same thought, they have suffered the
same disappointments and shared the
same sorrows. Together they have
worked and hoped, have fought and
achieved. This sharing of a common
life has left its impress upon their
faces!’But I went further and said
there must be even a deeper reason
than this, and it is this: ‘When they
stood at the marriage altar each look-
ed upon the other with unmixed ad-
miration and love. He thought she was
the loveliest, and sweetest, the ten-
derest and truest woman alive. She
looked upon him as the bravest,
strongest and best man in the world.
Thus each tries to be like the other—
she in his strength, he in her tender-
ness and purity. Thus, though start-
ing far apart they drew closer and
closer together until now standing
transformed at the setting of the sun
by this mutual love they seemed as
like as brother and sister.
Realizing the Ideal.
“So we become like Christ,
share alike His sorrows and His joys.
We labor with Him; we achive with
Him. We also look upon Him as ‘The
Lily of the Valley, the chiefest among
ten thousand, and one altogether
lovely.’ With this sharing of a com-
mon lot, with this boundless admira-
tion, with this hungering and thirst-
ing after righteousness, we grow into
His image and His likeness.’
“How wondrously illuminating the
declaration by Paul: ‘But we all with
' unveiled face, beholding as in a mir-
ror the glory of the Lord, are trans-
formed into the same image, from
glory to glory, even as by the spirit
! of the Lord.’ Perfection is not pri-

is tir e the churches took notice of

J^e Stewart Methodist Episcopal
cj^irch of Kansas City is but one of
a number who, in the last month have
demonstrated the sanity of those who
hold views similar to Dr. Wirt’s This
church began on October 6 to give
a five-reel exhibition and intends to
continue the practice on each Monday
night.
The church directors announce sim-
ply that the motion pictures consti-
tute another ordinary step in church
progression. They place their fatith
in the motion pictures as offering ex-
ceptional advantages for education,
amusement and wholesome entertain-
ment.

They are
longer looked upon solely as mediums
for amusement, and their scope has
been greatly increased. In comment-
ing on their religious value, the Rev.
Dr. Wirt, of Krockton, Mass., has
said: •
“Motion pictures of religious sub-
jects would be a good thing for the
church, in that it would bring many
people to the house of worship who
otherwise would be attracted else-
where.
“Why burn the midnight oil in pre-
paring a sermon for the deacons of
the church?” said Mr. Wirt, “ when
motion pictures, such as ‘From the
Manger to the Cross’ will appeal to
the people who have not yielded to
the gospel. The motion pictures of
today, before being shown to the pub-
lic, have to first pass through the
hands of censors, so that only
best pictures are shown. Several
million people every year visit mo-
tion picture theatres. It is for the
churches of today to use this great
invention. God has put it into the
world to help promote the gospel, not

was an idealless struggle. They ‘felt

us a perfect revelation. ‘The only

Christ Is the Ideal.
“God is perfection. We must have
a perfect ideal if we build a perfect
life. God is revealed to us in Jesus
Christ. He is our ideal.
“But the question arises; how can
we appropriate Him in our lives?”
“With a little child to guide me I
looked through the family photo-
graphs, coming at last to an old dag-

young groom with his bride—a picture
of many years ago. I was told after
being teased to guess who it was;
that it was a grandfather and grand-
mother. I looked at the old picture.

was “Papa, Be a Christian for Your
