ROOSEVELT ON
CHURCH-GOING
1. In this actual world, a church
community, a community where men
have abandoned and scoffed at or ig
nored their religious needs, is a com
munity on the rapid decline.
2. Church work and church attend
ance mean the cultivation of the habit
of feeling some responsibility for oth
ers.
3. There are enough holidays for
most of us. Sundays differ from otljer
holidays in the fact that there are
fifty-two of them every year. There
fore, oft Sundays go to church.
4. Yes, I know all the excuses. I
know that a man can worship his Cre
ator in a grove of trees or by a run
ning brook or in a man’s house, just
as well as in the church. But I also
know as a matter of cold fact that the
average man does not thus worship.
5. He will listen to and take part
in reading some beautiful passage
from the Bible. And if he is not
familiar with the Bible, he has suffered
a loss.
6. He will meet, and speak to his
neighbors. He will come away feel
ing more' kindly to the world, even
toward those excessively foolish young
people who regard church-going as a
soft performance.
7. I advocate a man’s joining in
church work for the sake of showing
his faith by his works.
What Mr. Roosevelt preached he
practiced. The Gospel he loved, we
use and preach,at the

Every Person in U. S. Has an Ugly Rat to Kill
THERE la a rat for every person in tlie United States. If every man, woman
and child should make his and her financial pro rata contribution to what
these hundred million or more rats exact for upkeep annually, we would be
welting aside a daily rat fund of one
half of one cent. On this basis th<
United States pays its rats about $180.
l h 10,000 every year, which sum would
build and maintain a very adequate
university or support a neat navy or
keep Mexico satisfied for a long time.
The United States public health
service has figured this out and issues
these and many more rat facts in a
brochure that calls upon all Americans
’ who are fond of health to enlist in the
government's war against the Norway
or urown rat, tne common niacK rat ana tne Aiexnnarmn rat, wmcn is a
particularly, mean beast of untidy habits and a native disregard for the most
elemental of the niceties of life.
The Norway rat is the largest and most ferocious of America’s rodents.
He’ll eat anything, not stopping at a very small child if particularly hungry.
He has been pretty well killed off and the government adjures all of us who
see him to attack at once and crush him. The black rat and the Alexandrian
have been confined by various household and barnyard traps, poisons and
other exterminators to the water fronts of sea ports’ They are all aliens, their
ancestors having come from Egypt, Norway and other old world countries as
far back as the days of John Smith and Salem witchcraft.
The United States public health service doesn’t limit rat killing to any
stated methods, but says that rat proofing one's home and barns and granaries
Is more effective thun trusting to rat catchers—mechanical or animul—traps
or poisons. First rat proof your buildings, then go out after the rat in the
open.
Under the shibboleth “Rout the Rat,” the Public health service has Issued
rules, chief of which Is “Demand city antirat ordinances and state antirat
laws."
