Going Out of Business

For over year we have been max
Ing arrangements to retire from bust

pose of our stock by wholesale. We
finally interested Mr.. Martin of Cen
terville to such an extent that he is
to take the building, fixtures, ETC.,
when we reduce the stock to a certain
amount. To do this will require the
sacrifice not only of all profits, but al
so sacrifice on the cost Of the goods.
But we feel that we can save in ex-
pense Of running what we lose on the
goods, and here goes for the hottest

A LIFE FOR THE LAND.
Terse Comments Upon the Christian
Endeavor Topic for July 4, patriot
ism That Counts" Neh. q: 6, 1918
BY WILLIAM t. ELLIS.

All patriotism that is patriotism
counts. If it does not count 1t is not
patriotism. If the virtue OF patriotism
exists, it reveals its life by it's fruits.
This high and holy passion-one Of the
three noblest sentiments implanted in
the breast of man by his Creator--does
not always display labels and badges
and flags, or in any wise noisilN, pro.
claim its existence: nevertheless, it is
effective in the determination of ideals,
in the regulation of conduct and in
the inspiration to public service. Like
the qualities of honor and temperance
and love, patriotism effects it's first re,
suits in the fibre Of the character. :
Any person who would defraud the
nation by evading customs duties, by
Sinking public tasks, by falsely repre-
senting his liabilities to taxes, or by

THE NEW PATRIOTISM.
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.

is an evidence of the changing spirit
of our times. These first days Of July

bellicose strutting and growing barn

serious and dignified mood. The best
patriots are feeling keenly their obi

studying their relations to all other
cations as world citizens and they are
pressing itself by a new, frank facing
OF the days internationalism. Canada
never held so truly national a gather

few months ago to consider Canada's
missionary policy with respect to her
self and the whole earth. Americas
Christian manhood is likewise to come
together next spring in a meeting that
may easily take rank with the great
history making assemblies of the ma
