Pointing out that our modern ctvil- {zation is a civilization of cities, he claimed that we ought to seek to de- velop {n ourselves and our children a worthy love for a worthy city.

Detroit has again been placed in the hot rolled steel fabricating field by the operations of the recently or- ganized Roshm company. Te Roehm concern is occupying the plants formerly run by the Railway Steel Spring company. The new com- pany will keep two plants in com. mission with more than 160,000 square feet of floor space and a ca- pacity of more than 90,000 tons of finished steel annually. The main products will be forgings and stamp: ings for automobiles, railway cars, agricultural {mplements, stoves and furnaces. Detroit in the last year consumed about 4,000,000 tons of steel, with the Ford company alone accounting for nearly half that amount, American sheet and tin plate plants in Ohio are working at a high rate of production and prices are up §2 a ton except for automobile sheets.

We touch the foundations of this our city when we ask the ques: fon, “Shall We Close the Casper Churches?” Speaking first of the Church as a Place of Worship, he declared wor- ship to be the highest function of which human nature {s capable. It is a neceasity to the life of the soul, Of course there are those who deny the existence of the soul and cheer- fully live the life of an animal. They put no higher estimate on them: selves and their children than tiey put on their dogs or horses. They have deliberately shut God out of their lives and they grovel down in the dungeons of a stark material- tem. But {¢ man is more than a prize sheep, or a well-bred dog, if he is a being akin to God, this is all wrong and for ever disastrous, Man needs the open window and the eternal outlook. He needs communion with God his creator. Close the churches and you cut off this great esrential to the life of the soul The church is aiso the House of Comfort. Weary after a week of the world, there are thousands of bur- dened men and women who come to the churen to find a refuge from crowding care and gain strength for the burdens that wait ahead. The hard-driven editor of a great city paper was asked why he went to church every Sunday and replied, “I'd go crazy if I didn’t.” The church TENS eee aI Fees oo Urs ‘Che Casper Daily Cripune ; to relate their everyday life to the concerns of character, God and eter- nity. And steadily the manhood of usper became more degenerate, its womanhood more gbandoned, its youth and Maidenhood more profli- te, its mdrai atmesphere more pol- suted, until in‘my dream, I saw dis- aster, moral and sociai, swooping down upon the city, and 1 woke to reaidty with a piayer to God to for ever avert such @ dreadful calamity. “Overdrawn}” I hear you say. But no! Na fancy of mine Is vivid enough no words vf mine are graphic enough to describe the results of closing the doors of the Christian churches ‘ot chistity. Close the churcoes of Cas- per and you cluse the one instituron which exists to keep the thought of God and the higher life in the minds und hearis of its people. Take God out of human thing and you ell- |minate the great incentiv: noble living and the greatest ‘safe- wuard of avciety. The great duties and the master passions—sympathy jove,, honor, patriotism, brotherhood, justice—eare kindied at the altars of the house of God. And in the proc- lamation of the gospel there is more of social restraint than in a police force. “Listen, men! You men of Casper can have any kind of city you want. xou can have a city that is a ren- uezvous and a hagpy hunting- “round for the bootiegger, the white suwiver, toe harlot, tne dope-pedder, «ae gambier and the profiteer.

And the starved souls of men grew hard, for the’ gos- pel of love was no longer proclaimed and the voice of the spirit had been urowned out by the clamour and rush of material things. Then sym-| pathy sank beneath the rising tide vf selfishness, and moral restraint: were flung: away, for conscience died when men turned their backs upon Got-and His house. Political corrup- dion flourished openly, and lawiess- ness became wildly flagrant. The criminal element grew daily boider, and the boctlegger plted his trade all over the city, and the red light dis- trict spread like a cancer from block .0 biock over north of ‘the track, while the hospitals and ‘children’s home were finally closed for lack of support. The Community Chest had long been empty, for the spirit of sacrifice had disappeared soon after the message of Christ had been sl- tenced. Even the service clubs and the chamber of/commerce had fatled to keep their spirit “alive, for they themselves had gradually left their fine !deals of sympathy and service, because there was no preacher, or anyone, left whose business it was worship of God, by beutuing and tor- saking the church and practically closing its doors by refusing to at- tend and support it? If Casper is ‘ever to be the city it ought to be, it can only be made so by you men rallying to the active support of its churches, and heiping them to put across the prcgram of Jesus Christ in its business, its industry, its pol- Disappear? ‘OU wonder what becomes of them Ordinarily wild horses could stands in the midst of the ceaseless turmoil ready to comfort and serve all bleeding bruired and lonely hearts. Like her master she exists ‘not to be ministered unto, but to minister.” To men harrassed with business cares, to women worried with family troubles, to youths perplexed with many trials, to all who mourn and need comfort, to all who are home less and need sheltering jove, to all who are burdened with sin and need a eavioyr, the church of Jesus reaches out a hand of welcome, and erles ‘Come with us and we will do thee good.” Can this city of ours afford to despise such an invitation and do without such a wealth of com: fort? “The church 1s gjso the inspira. tion and builder of noble character. The home is bullt to shelter the fam lly. The school Is reared to train the intellect. The fac‘ory is built to sup- ply the material needs of the body.

Take the longest look across humanchistory, and the deepert look into hurhan nature and you will sec that the Christian’church has. been the mightiest agency on carth for the realization of human progress.

If the church had planted no thoughts of love and justice no seeds of purity in the heart asnd minds of the com- mon people tn every land to witich she has come, where would our boasted civilization be today? Was Daniel Webster talking . nonsense when he flung down this challenge to all opponents of the Christian church: “Where have the springs of civilization been found gushing save {n the track of the Christian minis: try?" “What would Casper be today if it had no church?'-asked the. preach- er, and quoting the letters of some men who declared they do not go to church, although *they think the church a very necessary thing, he said, ‘I wonder if these men, very prominent in the lMfe of our city have been topped to think what would happen to Casper if all other men followed thelr example.” Then followed a vivid portrayal of a churchless Casper which gripped and thrilled bis audience into a breathless silence. “In a vision I saw the city of Casper close the doors of its churches, and declare the Sunday a secular holiday, without any wor- ship of God or religious cultire. And the preachérs left town, and the con- gregations disbanded, and the church bulidings were sold. One of them be- came @ garage and another a sale- room and another a dance hall and another a store, while the others were taken down to make way for apartment blocks and office bulld- ings. Then I saw the Bundays come and go without any gathering of the people for worship, and the picture shows were still more crowded and the highway was denser with cars than ever before, and the multitude rejoiced in their unrestrained free. dom. The children thronged the streets and theaters, for there were no more Suneay schools to tell them of Jesus or teach them to sing the children’s hymns. And I, heard no sound of gospel song or sacred an- them on all) the air, and funerals pasred along the streets to lay, their dead in the dust, with never a word of heavenly comfort to dry the tears of those who wept, for the ministers had gone to other towns where the churches were open and the gospel wi preached. And I saw ho mar- riage altar in all the city, for all wed. dings took place in the judge's of- fice, without reference to God or prayer for His blessing. Then the people who still belleved in the God of their childhood sold out their homes and moved away to other cit- les where their children might have a chance to learn of Christ in church (ive Hogan a Lift —the girls who disappear—drop out of sight, manynevertobeheard of again. There are hundreds of such girls. You read about them in the papers for a day or two—then interest lags, and except for a broken-hearted mother, a father prematurely aged and hair turned gray, each case is forgotten in the interest that the next arouses. Late one night a’ young girl stepped from a train in the station at Youngs- town, Ohio. She was attractive, beau- tiful and of excellent family. She wanted to surprise her parents by her unexpected home coming and so, instead of telephoning to her father to come and escort her, she took a night- hawk taxi standing at the curb. Later, a car came to a stop before a quiet-looking house with drawn ‘cur- tains, and an unconscious girlish figure was carried quickly up the steps and through the door—a door that might well have borné the legend “All hopé abandon, ye who enter here,” a That is how one girl disappeared as. thotgh thé. earth, had swallowed her, Thus it was that through'a simple'error such as. any girl might make, there began a chapter in her life so dreadful that she will carry the sickening. mem- ory of it with her to the-grave, ; Not tear from her the details of the horrors she endured from the time she stepped into the taxi until she was rescued days later from that terrible barred room in the house with the shades drawn down. But because she realizes that thousands of girls innocently and unthinkingly make errors that might easily result as disastrously as the simple mistake she made, She has relived the episode once again, in order that other girls may be spared the depths of degradation and humiliation she suffered, You will find her story, told in her own words, in True Story Magazine for March, entitled “Out- side the Law.” Every word, every incident, évery detail, recorded exactly as it was burned into her memory. Nothing is changed, nothing hidden, except the real names of the persons involved, which for obvious reasons have to be disguised. It is a howerful, gripping true story that every girl and every parent of girls should read. Never in the history of True Story Magazine, whose purpose is and always has been to fight the powers of evil, has it placed before its readers a tale that will do more to protect girls and women from the human vultures who feed upon the trustfulness and thoughtlessness of innocence than this self-told story of a girl who disappeared.
