It is the first time in history that the heads of American municipalities have organised nation ally to protect and (promote the Inter ests of municipalities. , Although' the municipalities embrace two-thirds of the people of the United States, they have heretofore been but fieebln rep resented in the deliberations at the national capital and in state legisla tures. Heretofore, the individual mayor had to beg for recognition at the national capital. But through the United States Conference f Mayors, the mayors of the nation are lot only welcome in Wasnington, but mm.. 1 : . i ; iultations that affect the welfare of municipalities. It is understood that PresidentwSoosevelt approves the ex istence of a well-knit organization through which hex can directly con tact the municipalities of this coun try.

A Christian is a disciple of Christ, and a discisle of Christ is one that follows Cmst. How many of us get the right thought about a Christian life? Dear friends, when we start out to live a Christian life, it means more than merely adding our name to the church book. It means for us to be Christ-like, and to be Christ-like we must obey Him. I feel like there are many who profess to be Chris tians who are not living np to their duty. ,., . ',-, .

And to serve Christ we must serve one another. And to" keep one's self unspotted from the world is to live a pure life and not partake of the evil things that sinners engage in. How can we be a light to those that are in sin if w hava our lives all smutted over till the light can't shine through. lEIven sinners. when you talk to them about their e vil ways, will say that it's no harm to play cards or take a drink. They will say that church members and even preachers do such thn'gs. God oitv a man that goes out to be a leader for uod's children and that will partake of such evil things.
