Each Individual Shares in the Average
Every community has a certain standard of citizenship; unfortun
ately some communities have a better standard than others.
The standard is a matter of education, and it requires every elo
ment working together to produce the best.
If we took advantage of the citizenship of any community that av
erage would be lower than the type we most respect.
Every community has some who are below the average and it is
necessary to increase their standing in increasing the community aver
age.
It is impossible to bring the standard of the community up to the
highest possible average unless the lowest are made better, the medium
made better and the best made still better.
Moral standards come from environment, education, experience
and individuality.
Me must strengthen all the moral fibre of a community it we
would elevaee the condition of the average person.
The churches are striving to increase the average of this communi
ty; they are working for higher standards, for better morals.
Some have not a full conception of their duties a* citizens and they
are not doing their portion to help in the general uplift.

Some permit individual gain, or personal whims or actual indiffer
ence to stand in the way of strengthening the community standard.
No one is free from responsibility in this line who is neglecting the
help lie might give to those who are attempting the organized work.
Churches need men of purpose, men of might, battling nobly fur
the right; more men of purpose working for higher standards.
No one is free from responsibility in this line who is negl eting the
help he might give to those who arc attempting the organized work.
There is a place in any church for any person who realizes the
needs of Die community and who is willing to work faithfully.
The average of this community can be strengthened and advanced
by the conscientious and determined efforts of those who appreciate tlie
needs for such general uplift.
Next year we will have a better city if this year we have a more
harmonious effort to produce a better standard.
No community can advance a few and forg'd the many, and no
church organization desires that sort of advancement.
Working to win men and stimulating them to bettor purposes is
the problem of the present arid is the work of our churches.
Everyone owes the community his best efforts to do his best work
in an effort to product* the best citizenship.
