Initiative at
Henderson
The awakening of public conscience and the desire to
supplant vice, by wholesome recreation, have resulted in an effort to establish
a Community Center—a common-to-all gathering place, for social intercourse,
healthful amusement and for educational activities.
It is proposed to buy the old Baptist church and grounds,
and to use them for the uplift and joy of the community. We look to the time
when the community center will be equipped with a library, reading room, a
gymnasium, shower baths and swimming pool, and all sorts of equipment for
wholesome, tonic recreation. We ask the support and cooperation of every person
who wishes a cleaner and better town—a righteous, happy and intelligent
community.
Let us have the best, the most thorough, and the most sane
effort to make our town what it should be. Do not say, “It can’t be done.” For
that is the argument of indolence. Say rather, “Is it worth while, and am I
willing to help?”
It can be done if we will pull together, and if we will have
both grace and grit to persevere.
Let us test the efficacy of the advice, Overcome evil with
good.
