Social Obligations.
1t Is right for the country to spend
it's money with the home town because
of the social obligations between
them.
The town is theseenter OF your com
munity. From 1t radiates your rural
mail service; in 1T center your tele-
phone systems. On the streets of the
town you meet your neignbors Satur-
day afternoons and exchange news
and experience. You go to 1t for a day
OF recreation when the snow comes,
the fair, or on holidays.
There during the winter lecture
course you hear great orators and ex-
cellent musicians. The political rallies,
the church conference or association
are held there
BY and by in the pretty little VII
Gage church, whose spire you can see
from your farm, you son will preach
the gospel In the brick building two
doors from the corner, farmer boy
will open a law office, and In the little
frame two blocks away another son
of the soil, just back from college, will
begin the practice of medicine.
There is the high school to which
you send your children, and there
after awhile your daughter will teach.
And some day when you find the
farm work too heavy for your age, and
want to get near the children. you will
build on that grassy corner lot two
doors from the Methodist church and
move to town.
Yes, the town is q mighty good
thing to have, pleasant thing; and
the more you put into 1t the more you
get out Of it. For 1t grows according
to the trade 1t gets and the more 1t
grows the more 1t can buy and the
higher will go your land
The Moral Obligation.
But the last and strongest reason
why it is right that the country peo-
pie spend their money at home is tho
moral obligation.
The town is yours, yours to ruin OF
prosper. The same sense Of obliga-

as prompted our old Teutonic ances-

A preacher who was a crank on
doctrine wearied his congregation by
constantly harping on baptism. A
brother that longed for a rest handed
him text he thought safe, The way
of the transgressor Is hard"
"Friends," said the preacher there
'are three things suggested by this
scripture: First, the transgressor.
Second, his conversion. Third, his
baptism. We will pass over the first
two and come at once to the third"
Many reasons why people should

pose we pass them all by and come at
fonce to the one vital reason:
1t lis the right thing to do.
For after all fine fundamental cques-
ton in every transaction is whether
1T Is right or wrong. Not will j save
money, but is 1t just? Not is 1t more
convenient, but is 1t fair. Not
whether is it good business, but
whether it Is good morals?
For you and ] know, and an the
world is coming to know, that not

unfair means that does not curse the
possessor. And man may be as dis
honest in saving money as in getting

It'is right to spend our money with
the home town and wrong to send it
