WNU Feature.
T WAS a hot day the late summer
of 1673 when Father Marquette
and Louis Joliet with their party,
after a futile journey down the Mis
sissippi, came back up a stream
later known as the Illinois river to
claim the land for the glory of
France and to convert the heathen
for the glory of God. That event
introduced Illinois to modern his
tory book§. but long, long before
that. . . .
A great inland sea lay over all
of Illinois, with huge sharks and
armored fishes swimming in it.
Ages later, the sea levels were low
ered, and there were vast coastal
marshes with forests of tall fern
trees. Decaying vegetation fell into
black water to be compressed and
hardened and later to become coal.
Eventually the sea dried up, and
out of the north came the cold wind
to change the tropical climate of
Illinois.
Growing glaciers moved south
ward, crunching and grinding, until
there was a sheet of ice covering
all but a small tip of the state.
Birds and animals retreated before
it, or died.
And then came a day when Illi
nois lay in the sun again, wet and
muddy and smooth. Plants reap
peared. Grass grew luxuriantly,
new kinds of trees sprang up.
Lakes were changed to marshes,
and marshes transformed into
prairies
By and by, men came to live along
the rivers and bury their dead in
mounds. Known as mound dwellers,
they were followed by others whom
we know as Indians. In those davs,
herds of bison roamed the lush
prairies and drank from thd^ mud-
holes.
In 1671, La Salle crossed the port
age from the Chicago to the Illinois
river — probably the first white man
to visit Illinois. He later fortified a
camp near the present site of
Peoria, which he called Fort Creve-
coeur.
About 1700 two settlements were
formed by Indians, wandering
traders and missionaries — one at
Kaskaskia, the other at Cahokia. In
1717, these settlements were an
nexed to the province of Louisiana,
DWIGHT H. GREEN
Governor of Illinois
as the district of Illinois. The name
“Illinois” was derived from Illini,
a confederation of Indian tribes. In
1720, Fort Chartres and three new
villages were established by the
French, and the entire district was
put under a military commandant.
By the treaty of Paris in 1763, Illi
nois was ceded to the English, but
they couldn’t take possession until
they made a treaty with Chief Pon
tiac two years later. Then Illinois
became a part of Quebec province
in 1774. It was not until 1783 that
it was formally ceded to the United
States, and then largely because an
expedition of Virginians under Gen.
George Rogers Clark resulted in
virtual conquest of the region. Vir
ginia, Massachusetts and Connecti
cut all held claims to Illinois at one
time, but finally ceded their inter
ests to the United States, and the
region became a part of the North
west Territory.
From 1800 to 1809, however, the
state we know as Illinois was a
part of Indiana territory! It was
then organized as the territory of
Illinois, ne seat of government be
ing at K^kaskia. The first territori
al legislature convened in 1812, and
Illinois was admitted to the Union
in 1818. Shadrach Bond was the first
governor.
Serious Indian troubles beset
those who ventured early into Illi
nois. The Sacs and Foxes were
eventually moved across the Missis
sippi river in 1823, and Black Hawk
was defeated in 1832. Settlement
then proceeded rapidly.
Chicago, the state’s greatest city
and second in size of all American
cities, was almost left out of Illi
nois. When Illinois became a full-
fledged state, a strip of land 51
miles wide was added to the north
ern boundary of the original terri
torial limits. Today this strip of
land, with its Lake Michigan shore
line, contains 55 per cent of the
state’s population—and Chicago!
A lot has happened in Illinois.
Joseph Smith, the founder of the
Mormon church, was killed at
Nauvoo in 1844. The Illinois and
Michigan canal was built in 1848,
and the Illinois Central railroad was
constructed from 1850 to 1856. In
1848, the state barred slavery, and
there followed the historic debates
of Abraha.n Lincoln and Stephen A.
Douglas. Illinois sent 214,133 sol
diers into the field during the Civil
war. In 1871 occurred the great Chi
cago fire, and the railroad and Hay-
market riots took place soon after.
Chicago was host to the World’s
Columbian exposition in 1893, and
to the Century of Progress exposi
tion in 1933-34. And there was, of
course, the gang warfare of prohibi
tion days!
In Illinois, John Deere gave to
the world the steel plow. Wild Bill
Hickok, the western sheriff, was
born south of Mendota. Ulysses S.
Grant was an Illinois cobbler when
the Civil war broke out. At Starved
Rock, a band of Indians starved to
death rather than surrender to their
enemies. Headed by the Harpe
brothers, an outlaw gang used
Cave in Rock on the Ohio river as
headquarters. One of the oldest set
tlements in the state, Shawnee-
town, was recently moved in its
entirety to higher ground to escape
flood waters. Vandalia was once the
capital of the state, before Spring-
field was selected. Indian mounds,
built baskeful by basketful of
earth, carried by man, may be seen
at Cahokia.
The list grows long. All happened
in Illinois where Abraham Lincoln
split rails, kept a store, and wooed
Ann Rutledge.
With an elevation of 267 feet at
Cairo and 1,241 at Charles Mound,
Illinois is covered for the most part
with a deep layer of glacial drift,
but in the river bottoms are depos
its of alluvial silt, forming a rich
loam of unusual fertility. It is a
land of corn and grain, fat livestock
and fine homes. In the south part
of the state, known as “Egypt,” is
an extension of t! Ozarks, with
fruit orchards, coal mines, scenic
grandeur. There’s Jo Daviess
county in the northwestern part
with beautiful Apple River canyon.
Everywhere in Illinois are land
marks hallowed by the name of
Abraham Lincoln.
A lot of things have happened in
Illinois — enough,,in fact, to make
it one of the great livestock, dairy
ing, farming, mining, oil-producing
and industrial states of the Union,
nor does it lack in the development
of education, science, literature and
art. It is truly a great state. Its
people made it that way.
Chicago is America’s second largest city. Above is skyline from the lake front.

HOW JESUS* FRIENDS
RESPONDED
LESSON TEXT—Mark 1:16-20; 5:18-20;
10:46, 52; Luke 5:27. 28.
MEMORY SELECTION—He left all. rose
up, and followed him.—Luke 5:28.
Friendship calls for an exchange
—not of gifts or possessions neces
sarily, but of service, love and fel
lowship.
The.friends of Jesus responded to
the warmth of His affection and the
appeal of His call, and they gave
themselves in life and service to
Him.
Many in the church have forgotten
that part of the friendship of Jesus
Christ. They want to count Him as
their friend, they expect much of
Him; but they give little or nothing
in return. Their love is cold, their
service indifferent, their witness
powerless.
Not every one of Jesus’ friends
is called to be a preacher or a
teacher. He needs those who will
be His faithful followers, just a liv
ing testimony without special office
or message.
To effectively present the contrasts
of our lesson, we have arranged
the verses in slightly different se
quence. Among the friends of Jesus
I. Some Became Preachers (Mark
1:16-20).
These men had met Jesus before
(John 1:35-51), but now He was
ready to call them away from their
daily occupation as fishermen and
make them “fishers of men.”
Such a change was not an easy
one to make. It meant the giving up
of an established earthly calling, a
place in the community, home life
and family, for the service of the
Lord. That was to bring persecu
tion, ridicule, poverty and loneliness.
But “straightway they forsook their
nets."
Let the members of the church
and pastors be on the alert to sense
the call of God to young men and
women to the ministry and to the
mission field, and then let them do
everything possible to encourage
them on their way.
II. Others Became Followers
(Mark 10:46, 52).
When Jesus came by, blind Barti-
maeus began to cry, “Jesus, son of
David have mercy on me” (v. 47).
Many around him tried to hush his
voice (v. 48), but he cried the more.
Through that babel of voices
Jesus heard him, stopped and sent
for him, and healed him. The ear
of our Lord is always attuned to
hear the cry of the one in need,
and His heart is quick to respond
to his call. He can hear the cry
of the repentant sinner through all
the confusing sounds of our day.
Bartimaeus became a “follower”
of Jesus. He probably had no posi
tion in the church, no call to preach,
but what a testimony he had. (cf.
John 9:25).
Jesus needs simple, steady fol
lowers. Men and women with a
plain, effective testimony of salva
tion. The army of the Lord is not
made up of generals and officers
only. Perhaps we have more of
them than we need.
III. Some Stayed at Home (Mark
5:18-20).
This striking story of the deliv
erance of the mad man shows the
importance of testimony at home.
The people had asked Jesus to
leave (v. 17) because in delivering
the maniac He had caused some
swine to go mad and run into the
sea.
These men needed a witness, and
the most effective possible word to
them would come from the deliv
ered demoniac. He wanted to go
with Jesus, but at the Master’s word
he stayed at home.
It is hard to leave home and loved
ones to go afar to witness for Jesus
Christ, but sometimes it is easier
to speak for Him in a strange land
than at home. Even Jesus found no
honor in His own city.
If you are called to witness for
the Lord in the small circle of your
own family or community, trust
God to make that word for Jesus
tremendously effective. He can do
it!
IV. Others Left Home and Busi
ness (Luke 5:27, 28).
Levi—better known to us as Mat
thew — was “a member of that
hated group of renegade Jews, who
served the Roman invader and
helped him in his cruel work of
wringing extortionate taxes from
the people” (Earl L. Douglass). As
a result, he was rich and undoubted
ly had a fine home and every de
sirable material possession.
He h^d come to know Jesus and
when tr> j call came suddenly to fol
low Jesus, he did not hesitate; he
did not stop to gather up his
money; he did not sell his house;
but he stood up and left all, and
followed Jesus.
If Jesus really means every
thing to a man or a woman there
is nothing in this world that can
hold him back when Jesus calls.
He is ready to go to the ends of
the earth, and let whosoever will
care for the business, his posses
sions, averything (cf. Matt. 19:29).

Shinto Temples 'in Japan
Keep White Horse for Gods
Some 5,000 Shinto temples in
Japan still keep a white horse—in
a special building of its own—for
the use of the god to whom the
shrine is dedicated.
The majority of these animals
are extremely fat from lack of
exercise as they are too sacred to
be ridden by ordinary mortals.

How to Fight FIRE
the Menace
i
k WetTowelouda Flashlight
may save year PM—says
the National Safety Coaodl
I Call the fire department
at first opportunity! Fire
is always dangerous—espe
cially at night. Most fires do
occur at night! If you smell
smoke, reach for your "Eve-
ready” flashlight. Feel doors
before opening them. If a
door is hot, don’t open it!
2 Wet a towel or cloth;
cover your face and arms.
Close doors behind you to
reduce drafts that may fan
the flames. If the heat is
severe, remember that heat
rises—crawl! If trapped on
an upper floor, make a rope
of bedclothes. As a last re
sort only, throw out a mat-
tressand jumpdown onto it.
.
O To avoid danger^ you
have to see it—so keep
your flashlight with you
until you’re safe! Watch for
collapsing ceilings ... But
the best way to avoid fire is
to prevent it! Your flash
light gives a much better
light than matches or a can
dle, and it’s much safer too!
4 To help prevent fire or fight it—
or for any flashlight need—rely on
“Eveready” Batteries. Ask your deal
er for them by name. The days when
you had to accept "second choice” bat
teries—or none—are past. "Eveready”
Batteries have no equal—that’s why
they’re the biggest-selling flashlight
