EVERY MEMBER
CANVASS WILL
STARTSUNOAY
Is Taken as Topic for Sermons
' in Many of the Lutheran
Churches Yes
terday. Th "every nemlJer canvass"
which wit! be made in Lutheran
churches of Omaha, beginning next
Sunday, was the topic iii numerous
Lutheran churches yesterday.
, "The canvass is a challenge to
Lutheran laymen everywhere to do
the work that God has put at their
hands," said Rev. W. I. Gdss at St.
Marks Lutheran church.
"It is expected that . every
Lutheran of the United Lutheran
church in America will be visited
during the week of November 23 by
two laymen who will talk with each
member on the work of the church
and assign to each some definite task
. to perform in his own corner of the
Master's kingdom.
"The laymen of the church will
do this work, going forth by twos as
did the apostles of old. Pledges will
also be taken from each member of
a definite weekly sum for the benev
olences of the church. Each Luthr
eran church throughout the country
has been assigned a yearly quota.
The Lutheran church must measure
up to such churches as the Method
ist church which has just completed
a drive for $120,000,000. The Bap
tists, Congregationalists, Episcopal
ians and many others are doing
great things along these tines."
A. Brinkhorst of Chicago was the
special speaker at the Central Park
church last evening, giving an effic
iency talk on "Training in, Service."
Rev. T. J. Mackay, wh6 has been
ill for some time occupied the pulpit
at All Saints church.
My HEART and
My HUSBAND
Addle Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations
vof a Wife
The Reason Major Grantland and
Madge Changed Their Plans.
Major Grantland did not speak
until we had rounded a turn in the
road. We were out of sight of
Dicky, and indeed of atyone else,
; for the thoroughfare, one with no
houses upon it, was deserted as far
as we could see.'
; Then he turned to me and I no
ticed idly that he was driving wifh
bne hand, the other resting upon
his knee. I noticed something else,
too,"that he was flushed and embar-
rassed.
' "Pardon me. Mrs. Graham, for the
. suggestion," he "began diffidently,
"but if you feel faint, and do not
mind leaning against me, I can man
age the car very easily with one
hand. You are really ot able to sit
up, I am afraid."
-" Madf ' Question.
If J. half not been so upset that the
tears were nearer than laughter, I
m afraid I shold have, shocked-and
, offended Major Grantland by laugh
ing aloud. I suddely visualized my
self, as any chance passing motorists
might see me leaning against the
officer's shoulder, while his arm sup
ported me, for of course that is
what he meant by saying he could
drive with one hand. With a sudden
flash of intuition I realized that this
was the reason for his putting me in
; the seat by his side instead of in
the tonneau. .
I realized something else too,
from the eyes looking down at me,
, eyes that had lost all trace of the
steely grimness which I had often
seen in them, and were now filled
with troubled, .honest concern that
there were nothing in his offer at
which 1 need feel either offended
or Embarrassed.
But' of course I could not avail
myself or his proffered aid, although
I was not sure that IwouId not need
it sorely before we reached our des
tination. And J had a woman's hor
ror of arriving faint and ill at some
itrange hostelry, to be subjected
to the wondering speculation of
ithe cufious loungers. I had a sud
- den rush of longing for safety and;
comfort for my room at home.
I looked up at him with a sudden
inspiration. . . ,
"You are very kind, Major Grant
land." I said softly, " but I am per
fectly able -yto sit up. Tell me,
please, how far is it to Marvin?"
He shot a quick glance at me, with
a deft lightning movement, was
backing his powerful machine and
turning it around even as he an
swered me.
, At Home.
"What a dolt I am!" he' said. "I
should have driven you straight to
Marvin in the first place. Of course
vou ought to get home as soon as
possible. You see you are so brave,.
, xvirs. urnam, ana put up so goo a a
face upon matters that you uninten-
;.. ttonally deceived us as to hofcv ill
you are. But fortunately we have
just passed a little cross road lead
ing' to a main thoroughfare passing
' directly through Marvin. If you
don't mind speeding a little, you will
be home inside of 10 minutes.'
' "I don't mind anything," I fal
tered, "if I can only get home."
I spoke but the truth, for the only
thing I would have minded was
. Dicky's astonishment, probable dj
pleasure, at our passing him bound
for Marvin. This was obviated by
, Major Grantland's choice of roads.
I suspected that he had chosen his
route purposely in order to avoid
stopping for an explanation to
Dicky of the change of plan.
- The high-powered car responded
to the officer's guiding as if it had
been a sentient thing, rushed along
the toad with a swiftness and
smoothness that were reminiscent
of the time I had ridden in it before.
The rush of air, however, seemed to
suffocate me, and by the time wc
reached my own driveway, I was
coughing violently while my head
telr as it were enclosed in a vise
'which someone was slowly tighten
Vainr Grantland drove carefully
t'p to the- veranda steps,,was out of
the cr and opening the door at
uy side almost betore ne naa stop
ijd it.
"You must kt his lift you out and
carry you in," he said firmly, scru
tinizing my face. 'If you attempt
to walk I am afraid you may fall."
. Before I could answer Katie came
running down the steps, he eyes
fairlv DODping out of her head
Nrith excitement. .
"01 Missis Graham, dear Missis
Graham! Vot's matter?" she wailed
hysterically. "Is Meester Graham
killed dot you so vite?"
Major Grantland turned on. her
sternly. ,
"Keep quiet," he growled, "and
help your mistress."
They were the last words I heard,
for as Katie came toward me I saw
her grow to an enormous size be
fore my eyes, and the next moment
I had swayed forward felt myself
falling, and knew nothing more.

Pastor Thinks Savior
- Himself Would Strike
Denver, Nov. 16. Rev. W. O.
Rodgers, , pastor of the Fourth
avenue Congregational church? this
city, thinks that Jesus would go on
a strike himself if he were on earth
today. x
Discussing the extensive unrest
prevailing throughout the United
states, in r a sermon entitled,
"Would Jesus Strike?" the clergy
man declared:
"Jesus would advocate and partic
pate in a strike if great injust
ice were being done, and an em
ployer would not listen to reason.
'"Jesus would picket the plant and
try, by reason and argument, to per
suade scabs from filling the places
of strikers, but He would use no
violence."

MRS, C. & BROWN

.
Was SoRun-Down She Had to
Spend Much'of Her Time
In Bed.
. "I am the happiest woman in
Galesburg, and I make no secret
about what Tanlac has done for me,
for I want the whole world to know
about it," said Mrs. C. S. Brown,
who lives at 913 Kellog St., Gales
bursr, 111., a few days ago.
'"I had given up all hope of ever
beins: well another day in my life,"
continued Mrs. Brown, "and just to
think, here I am today as strong
and healthy as I have ever been
before. Only myi neiehbors know
whdt the last three years have meant
to me, for since my health broke
down I have suffered what I be
lieve no other woman ever went
through and still came out alive. I
was almost a complete nervous and
physical wreck," had to spend much
of my time in bed, apd was so ex
tremely nervous that rT couldn't
stand for even my little chil
dren to be around my bed or in the
same room where I was. I had
headaches constantly and it looked
like they would almost drive me
wild and my nerves were on edge
so bad that it seemed the harder I
tried to sleep the more wakeful I
felt, and many times I lay awake
most all night long. I had indiges
tion so bad that -I haven't been able
to' properly digest a meal for the
nasi two years, and just about every
bite I took gave me terrible cramp
ing pains, and when gas began to
form I was simply in torment. I
reached my lowest point last winter
when I had the 'flu' and hardly
see how I pulled through it, and
for months after I got upso weak
I could hardly hold m.y head up,
and when I would start to walk
across the room I had to steady
myself with a chair to keep from
falling to the floor. I was in a
pitiful condition, just about as bad
off as a person ever gets, and my
husband had to take care of the
children besides do all the house
work. "I'll never forget the first bottle
of Tanlac I bought, why, it actually
helped me so much that my husband
said he could almost see me getting
better. That gave me more en
couragement than I had ever had
and I kept right on taking Tanlac,
and now it has taken nine bottles to
give me back my health, but I never
felt any better or stronger in my
whole life than I do now. I never
had a better aptietite, never had
more sound, restful sleep, and my
nerves- were never in better condi
tion. What I eat digests perfectly,
and I don't have any more head
aches. I can hardly realize the
change that has come over me and
I wish I could tell every person in
the whole world about it,- Tanlac
has been the most wonderful thing
to me in my -whole life, and there
is nothing this world could offer
that I would take for what this
medicine has done for me."

The Girl on the Burning
I Roof; Community Service
and Business in Omaha
By WILLIAM TANQUERY
It is not good for man to live his life alone.
He can dp it, and get along. But a wastebasket full
of argument can be written to support the contention
that he will get along better by, living his life with his
fellows- '
Help the other man and he will help you. You can
do something better than he can, and he can do some
things better than you can. , ,
Help him make his dollar, and he will help you make
yours. Neither of you will be any better off in the mat
ter of dollars, but the association will make life easier
I about which some poets could write a book, but in the.;
meantime, anything that makes life easier is worth dol-
Elars and cents.
One manufacturer or business man can make a pretty
big noise, especially if he is an Omahan, but two can
malrA mnre. half a dozen can he heard in Chicaco. and
the Omaha Chamber of, Commerce can be heard around 1
the world.
Association does it, thespirit of get-together, and
. boost.
One man might be able to persuade a friend or a.
straneer. to come here, but the chamber can bring a
hundred and everybody benefits. x
All of this is to arrive at the real subject com
munity service.
Community service is merely the spirit of the brother- j
hood of man applied to business principles, in every
day life.
Get acquainted with your neighbor and each help
the other. That is one of the missions of community
service. The Chamber ot commerce is aomg community
service for the city. -
Other bodies are doing community service for the
individual. '
The first thing is to bring people together. To in-
w troduce next door neighbors who have lived within 10 -
I feet of each ather for years without hardly nodding j
" "rrnnrl mnrni'nrr " na if ennli wpfo nfrnifl that an intro-
JlllI ) A V i . i w i-w
duction would merely pave the way to request the loan
of a flatiron or a pound of sugar.
y This lack of acquaintanceship, this living of life
alone and selfish nursuit of one's own happiness with-
l out even a glance into the darkened rooms of the neigh
' bor was broueht out in one paragraph, a few words that
t contained volumes, in an interview published in Friday's
t ioono Ta "Daa W W. C TVinmas Hp smn ; t .
"Put an unknown girl on the roof of a burning house,
"and in five minutes you will have the entire city aghast J
i tne men yening ana me women weeping, uut.n tuai
cirl smolders in a darkened room in the nres'Ol loneli-
l ness for years, who cares? Do you?" -
A more striking illustration of the situation would be
I hard to find.
j' In other-words, if you really want to "wake up"
r biiuigOe uuim c iuo iu xx c gill vii wiv t
Shoot off a gun that will throw shot in all directions
nne like the Germans needed-and like the United States
will need if Japan, the bolsheviks in Siberia and the bal-
anr.e of the EuroDean mass keens on growing one with
t barrels pointing in all directions and that loads in the
middle.
Who's the girl, and where's the gun?
; - The girl story, of course, is merely to illustrate the
i" fact that when something has got to be done people get
out and do it.
And when everybody helps, it is done best. ;
t
' Therefore, when the Chamber of Commerce starts
something, remember that ft is "community" service and
.help.
Rv helnine the citv vou help yourself, for the more
t money brought here the more there will be to go around
The more there is the more chance there is to get
tsome of it. k
A man might get hold of a dollar in Wall street, but
Che wouldn't have a chance in the desert of Sahara.
Wake un. iump in and help, beceme a community
" service worker, and don't let the Spirit of Progress sit
r in a darkened room unnoticed, waiting for some one to 4
