L. D. S. NEW CHURCH BUILDING, AND MISSION HOUSE, CHICAGO Cost about $25,000. Dedicated by President Joseph F. Smith, November 2, 1913. vices. Bishop Charles W. Nibley spoke on what the Church had accomplished in a temporal and social way; and President Joseph F. Smith, on the doctrines of the Church. The new chapel is a very cozy and pretty place, situated in a distinctly favorable location. At the afternoon service, many were turned away on account of insufficient room, many strangers and a number of newspaper reporters were present. A Law student at the Chicago University writes of President Smith's address: "It was by far the strongest talk I have ever heard President Smith give; and perhaps the most sincere, and for that reason the most striking talk I have heard any one give. No matter what one might think of the doctrines of our Church, or of President Smith, I think anyone who heard him this afternoon could not doubt his sincerty of purpose, or his conviction that he was speaking and living the truth." Scout Cheers or Yells While we are always working to maintain proper discipline at our meetings, we must not forget that the boys are bottling up energy that requires an occasional vent, or safety valve. The cheers or yells supply such a vent, and give rise to an increasing interest in the work. These cheers or yells are of great value in bringing the boys together, making each one feel more closely related to the others. They are also of special value at scout gatherings, and while on "hikes." The following are suggested by Field Secretary Oscar A. Kirkham, and may be used separately or together: Zing a Zing! Boom! Boom! Zing a Zing! Boom! Boom! A-M-E-R-I-C-A Boy Scouts! Boy Scouts! U. S. A.

"School is a drill for the battle of life—if you fail in the drill, you fail in the battle."-Dr. Karl G. Maeser. "I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to the light I have. I must stand with anybody who stands right, stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.”—Abraham Lincoln. One bishop said, "This ward seems to be dying. Why don't you wake up and do something?" His ward was dead, and only awaited the spiritual undertakers. Another bishop said, "I can never be too grateful for what you have done for me! You have done so much to make the ward alive!" His ward was alive, and wouldn't need the services of the sexton, at least during his life-time. It all depends on your attitude. gestion, even to grown-ups. There is everything in sug Joseph of old conserved the crops of the years of plenty and thus mitigated famine and suffering; in our day, science has enabled man to conserve the waters of the Nile, to the same end. It is reported that the Nile flood of 1913 was the lowest since the flood records have been kept. A few years ago that would have meant famine and pestilence, but thanks to the great Assouan dam and the new irrigation system, the crops are not materially reduced. In Lower Egypt they are actually above the average. That is a great triumph for modern engineering, and for the British administration of Egyptian affairs. If a man smile, and wave his hand at you as you walk down the street in the morning, you wave your hand back and smile in return unconsciously, and often one little experience like this will key for you the day joyously. ing. Courtesy, kindness, good-will, generosity, liberality, are all catch Nothing is so contagious as a smile. Try it on the first man you see. No matter how grouchy he is, you can melt him. You really don't have to say anything or do anything. Just hold the attitude of good-will, and when you meet him smile, and you will see his face relaxes in turn. Cast thy bread upon the waters and it shall return after many days buttered, and sometimes with jam on it. All that we have in the world is what we give out, and the more good we give out, the more good we have. --Elbert Hubbard. |
