And I felt that the sun in all its course could not look down on a better sight than that majestic home of a Republic that had taught the world its best · lessons of Liberty. "Two days afterwards I went to visit a friend in the country, a modest man with a quiet country home. It was just a simple, unpretentious house, set about with great big trees, .encircled in meadow and field rich with the promise of harvest. Inside was quiet, cleanliness, thrift and comfort. Outside there stood my friend, master of his lands and master of himself. There was the old father, an aged trembling man happy in the heart and home of his son. And I saw the night come down on that home, falling gently as with the wings of the unseen dove. The old man got the family around him, and, taking the Bible from the table, called them to their knees, the little baby hiding in the folds of the Mothert s dress, while he closed the record of that simple day by calling down God's benediction on that family and tha'l home. And while I gazed, the vision of that marble Capitol faded away. Forgotten were its treasures and its majesty, and I said, "Oh surely, here in the .homes are lodged at last-the strength and the responsibilities of the Government, the hope and the promise of th~ Republic." Mr. Grady was right. If we had scenes like that in every home and at every fireside everywhere, we would not need any big armies and navies; we would. not need criminal courts and penitentiaries; and it is just such an idealism as the one pictured above that the Churches of Wilmette are trying to bring about. ; Board Denies Rezoning of Dempaey Tract Lots The Village .board Tuesday denied, upon recommendation of the Village zoning commission, the "petition for the rezoning of the two lots, owned by ]. Edwin Dempsey, located at Greenwood avenue and Fifteenth street, from Class "A" Residential to commercial designation. A public hearing on the matter was held by the Zoning commission January 9 in which a majority of interested property owners opposed the proposed change. Purchase of a new adding machine for the Village offices was authorized by the board. Superintendent of ' Public Works Schultz was authorized to advertise for bids for the purchase of a two-ton hydraulic hoist motor truck for use in that department. , The board voted to co-operate with the villages of \Vinnetka and Kenilworth in securing extensions of the Sanitary district's inter-cepting sewer at Sheridan road in order to relieve the congested condition of the smaller intercepting sewer on Winnetka avenue. ........................... a-m Directory of Churches: Tile \Yilwtte B.ptid Fort~~ aad Wilmette A·naaa /W.
