^BBmmmmmm THE TAKE SHORE N*w* FRIDAY. JUNE 15, 1923 CUES DUTY OF YOUNG AMERICA Rev. Francis C. Stiller Tells High School Grads What Future Demands CALLS CHRIST MODEL Must Be Christlike to Be True Leaders Sunset Ridge Country Club "Opportunities that your fathers and mothers never dreamed of are lying thick around you. Problems that your fathers and mothers never had to face are demanding that you study and solve them," Rev. Francis C. Stifler, pastor of the Wilmette Baptist church, told the graduates of New Trier High school at the Baccalaureate services at the school ------last Sunday afternoon. "When I was born, about forty years ago," he said, "America was enjoying^ a splendid isolation. There were ncrfCHicago district â€" foreign complications at all. There was no labor problem. There were no trusts. Sodas were a nickel. So were carfares. Life was very simple." Show* America's Position After recalling how, gradually, through the Spanish-American war America, in spite of herself, became involved in world affairs, Mr. Stifler said, "Nine years ago the World War broke out. And but six years ago we got into that war. We had to, because the interests of the world were so united. The na- tions that were in that war from be- ginning to end lost 18,000,000 men, with countless others wounded and weakened. We lost 50,000 men. As a result of that war Europe is discouraged, distressed, ------and-bankrupt And, as a result of the same war, we are fabulously wealthy and enjoying the greatest prosperity any nation has ever known in aM history." ' Cites Christ As Model "You are going to be leaders. Most of you are headed for the colleges and for technical training," Mr. Stifler stated. "A nation is known t»y its t leaders. If the leaders are Christians, then the part the nation plays in the world's affairs will be the part of the Christian. Our duty, then, is plain. We should be like Christ. I find many young people who do not understand what Christ was like. They never* read their iiis-r n n c.^ ^«Mwmcnt"-">cryâ„¢ ataftiously, but theythave seen many picture^ of Christ, It will be of interest to many people on the north shore to learn of the rapid success of the Sunset Ridge Country club. Founded but a few months ago, it already has a waiting list, member- ships having been closed two weeks ago, the required number of applicants hav- ing been passed by the membership com- mittee and accepted by the directors. The 130 acres of ground which the club acquired two and one-half miles di- rectly west of Winnetka is one of the most picturesque golf club sites on the north shore. Many prominent and en- thusiastic golfers have claimed it to be as fine a tract of land as there is in the The name is particu- larly well adapted as the sunsets are gorgeous when witnessed from the spot where the new club house wjll be built. The club house will be buHtton the east portion of the land and (?w be easily reached by the road out Willow street, which is the most beautiful drive lead- ing west of Winnetka, and then turn- ing north on Coats road a few hundred feet, which brings one to the entrance of the club house. While at the present time the/golf course is Tecelvlng^niosrorthe attention with the idea of making it one of the most complete and interesting courses in the west, the social activities, are plann- ed to be among the big attractions. It is the club's idea to have a country club, not a city club, in the country, and, to have a spacious and attractive house, but to minimize expenses in every way possible. The above sketch which has been submitted by S. S. Bemen, archi- tect, is the one which the Board of Di- rectors has under consideration at the present time. A'large porch, not shown in the picture, overlooks the course and ample accomodations will be provided for outdoor dancing during the sum- mer months. Modern locker facilities for the men as well as the women, to- gether with kitchen facilities and a large spacious assembly or dining room to be used during the fall or winter months are included in the club's appointments. The club house wlil be sufficiently large to accommodate comfortably at all times the entire membership with the usual number of guests. Howard Walton of Winnetka, chair- man of the Grounds committee, states that all of the fairways are turned under and practically ready for speeding, which will be done as soon as possible, and the greens are fast being tiled for drainage and shaped up in the proper manner. He states that work is further along this time, than had been expected and that he sees no reason why the course should not be ready for play in the early spring months of next year. Golf Architect Diddle, of Indianapolis, who has been secured to supervise and lay out the courser is spending practically all of his time out there and is letting nothing stand in the way of having Sunset Ridge one of the finest courses in the Chicago district. Heinsen and Clark Open . Offices at Highland Park Heinsen and Clark, north shore real- tors, this week opened an office in High- land Park, said to be. the largest real estate office in that city. William H. Overton, secretary of the company will have personal charge of the Highland Park office. It is the policy of the company to place each one of its officers in charge 0 fan office of the firm. George C. Clark is manager of the Evans ton of- fice A. W. Plant, in charge at Wil- mette, Paul Heinsen, manager of the main offices of the company, at Win- netka, and Mr. Overton in charge of the new Highland Park office. Mr. Overton was formerly sales man- 1 ager for E. E. Stultz and company, real- tors, and has had several years' experi- ence in handling north shore property. E. R. Nourse Purchases Big Gross Point Tract What is considered one of the most important real estate transfers in re- cent months was completed a week ago when E. Raphael Nourse, of C. S. Ennis and company, Chicago, pur- chased from the Catholic University of America twenty acres in Gross Point 800 feet west of Ridge avenue extending alcfag the north side of Lake avenue for 1,757 *«et» with a depth of 495 feet, for $40,000. Cremin and O'Connor were the brokers. Mr. Nourse is one of a syndicate which may- .subdivideâ€"4heâ€"property when Gross Point is annexed to Wil- mette. a possibility of the near future. !

And vthe result is ,that they think of Jesus Christ as a^ gaunt, hollow-eyed, effeminate sorrof^a being who never smiled. If you will turn from the paintings and the poets to ie New Testament, you will find that Jesus was quite the opposite sort of a man. He loved to be with people when they were happiest. His friends liked to have him with them. He was always talking about joy, and always bringing it. He revelled in good health himself and interested himself in bringing good health to others. He ac- cepted every invitation to dinner that I'we know of his receiving. He took his » stand against the melancholy practice of ^fasting. He said that he and his dis- ciples were like people on a honeymoon 1 when folks never fasted. The New M! Testament makes Jesus Christ out to be "about the best company that any man lever had.

"Here is the call to Young America," Mr. Stifler said in his closing remarks. "You are the rich men among the na- tions. They will demand much of you. America must be Christlike or she will fail. To be Christlike her leaders must live as Jesus did. He lived a life of moral convictions from which he did not move; the Rock of Ages, the same yesterday, and today, and forever. He loved folks, sick and strong, rich and poor, white and colored, bad and good. He included them all in his promise that the Kingdom of God should come. He honored his Heavenly Father, he prayed, he worshipped, he respected God." ment of such an experimental station as an aid to the agricultural interests of the county. ---------â€"----- Rev.

T. Wersted of The Wersted Mo- tor Co. tf*'Whatever may be the car, it's worth the price if judged solely as a moving mechanism. Standardization of materials, parts and manuf^aciuring methods has given a definite intrinsic value to every car. "But the transportation value of a car is not always apparent to the shopper who is looking over models and specifications. The local facil- ities for service, the permanence and responsibility of the local dealer, are vital factors in giving constant daily transportation value to any car. "So while car values are more or less fixed and dependable, transporta- tion value is affected by theV condi- tions under ,which the car is gold and serviced locally." mm DANNEMARK'S ELECTRLCLSHGE U55 WILMETTE AVENUE "ILMETTE Very Best Peacock Hams |; per lb..:.;......;.^^^.'......;^. fFresh Dressed Broilers -^ Very Best Sirloin Steak per id* ......~......................
