Such has been the growth of Jackson, the ilub of Michigan, since the founding of the cm mmun- ity anti the erection of the first un- completed log cabin by Horace Blackman in 1830. Since that time the city has grown—not by booms likely to burst suddenly like a bubble, but slowly and steadily with a sureness which has inspired the confidence of all in its future. But Jackson is not living in the past; the present is only the pass- ing moment and Jacksonians are not content to rest upon their pres- ent laurels, but, with the spirit of achievement which has carried their city to a place among the leaders in her class. are still working toward the goal of a greater Jack- son. Although 1926 was the great- est building year in the city's his- tory, the work of progress still goes on with real estate, industrial and business leaders predicting a steady growth in the years to come. As Seen by the Tourist. The Jackson of the prevent as seen by the tourist entering the city from north, south, cast or west, is a city of paved highways, beautiful homes and well kept lawns in which are carefully tended flower beds, I standing out like jewels in rich! settings. And once in the business district the tourist is given a closer view of the many attractive build- ings, int•luding the 11-story Rey- nolds "skyscraper;' the imposing Hotel Hayes, the 11-story Consum- er s Budding and the 13-story Jack- son City Bank Building, now under construction, not to mention num- erous others which help to place Jackson at the Cup in the business world. Continuing on his way, slowly through the business district because of the many !flowing auto- mobiles and hurrying pedestrians tossink the ti tits, the tourist is further impressed by the air of pro- gress and activity which settled cover the city years ago and which, instead of growing lighter, becomes t rii:iiiit•f! i intense with the passing of Perhaps less notice is taken of the city's growth by its non citizens than by the outsider who cono•s here at intervals, for the outsider, remembering how it looked on the ot•casion of his previous visit at 0111 1 notices the changes and im- provements, while the average cit- izen who watches it grow hit loyLoit. is IeSA apt to realize the rapid strides made in the ceaseless tear- ing down of old buildings and the erection of new and larger struc- tures, demanded by the constant in- t•rease in population and tht• Seed for modernizing. Only a visitor from out of the past, familiar with the Old Hurd House. the Glass Front Store, the little fire houst• on East Michigan avenue, the Central Hotel, the Jack- son Hall and other structures once considered modern can fully -ap- preciate the Jackson of the present. From Out of the Past. From out of the past conies the Old Man who left Jackson to see the world 50 years ago and whose pressing business activities pre- vented the carrying out of his oft- repeated desire to skit the town of his birth until 1927, when we find hint with several ethers ∎ , ccupying a seat in an automobile speeding eastward along M-17. He remem- bers the small town with the cow mind in ',Milwaukee street, the old men fishing from the Grand River ',ridge 011 East Michigan avenue and he eagerly looks for the pond on which the youth of his day skated at the corner of Michigan Avenue, West, and First street. a Instead of a pond he first oh- serves a beautiful residence street stretching ahead eastward and his automobile speeds along to the a right of a street car track. The dwellings, net in artistic lawns, grow more imposing and there is no sign of the skating pond fur which he so, eagerly searches with his eyes. Finally, tone of his •om- panions who has been here before, points out First street which, to the Old Man's amazement, is a paved thoroughfare and lined with dwellings as far as the eye can see. "This isn't Jackson!" the Old Man says indignantly as the auto- mobile turns westward on Wild- a wood avenue and he beholds the construction work ton the huge new high school. But no one pays any attention and the auto, speeds past more imposing residences until it is collies to the city limits and the Old Man observes the West Side plant of the Hayes Wheel Company and ether wcad•rs not in existence when he set nut to see the world.

Jackson Business District. And as the automobile moves slowly along, passing paved thor- oughfares until it senor as if all of the city's streets, several of which were paved with women blocks when he left, must be improved with brick or asphalt, the Old Man is conscious of a feeling of 50 years lost--50 years in which he might have played a part in bringing all of this about. The automobile continues slowly and the Old Man finds many won- der, in one block. There is the Y. W. C.

In the Bible class conducted by him, we reviewed several books of the Bible, These proved very interesting anti helpful and I feel sure that these classes shall be missed in tht• fu- ture, for through his help we gained a broader vision of the Bible, tour literary masterpiece.
