treats on THE Flag and the Ma

deals with the preparedness

convincing manner.
We quote the following:
For thousands of years the
human family have been acting
precisely as they are now acting
in Mexico and on the continent
of Europe. Nor is there any
twenty years since the dawn of
time that is comparable with the
twenty years now closing, in the
extent of territory covered by
warning people, in the property
destroyed, in wealth wasted, in
the interests involved, in the
lives sacrificed.
Within these same twenty
years, every important nation in
the world has been engaged in
at least one war; and Russia,
Great Britain, Japan and Turkey

The Mail Order Pest

The Roanoke Chowan Times
prints a new item to the effect
that a farmer came to town to
buy some wire fence on a credit,
and stated to the dealer if he had
the money he would order it
from Sears Roebuck & Co. The
only thing commendable about
this party is his frankness and if
we had been the dealer in ques-
lion, he could have bought the
fencing from Sears Roebuck or
done without. We wish every
one could be brought to under
stand the truth that money spent
at home, builds up the home
town, helps pay the taxes, bene-
fits the man who spends the
money in hundreds of ways. The
few cents saved on purchases
from the big mail order houses is
far more than offset by the
draining of money out of the
town into the big cities. The
local merchant is indispensable;
he is needed for the supplying of
many articles it is Improbable
and inconvenient to order from
the mail order house; he is
needed again when you want to
BUY goods on credit; he is in
fact the banker for many of his
customers; and he must make a
profit or 60 out of bust
ness, therefore every dollar of
.rade you divert from him, forces
lim to set a greater margin of
profits on those things which
must be purchased from him.

Should a Christian 1.-THE?

want to go on record as being
uncompromisingly opposed to
tithing as the Christian method
of doing business with his Heav-
emily Father. Based on a principle
Numerically opposed to the spir-
it of Christ, it sets a standard
totally inadequate for the Christ
ian. 1t is a method that puts God
on one side of the bargain count
err and the Christian on the other:
whereas both belong on the same
side.
Tithing was a part Of a system
which, when carried to its ulti-
mate working out, produced the
classic Pharisee who stood up
right in the temple thanking
God that he was not as other
men and then recounting the
deeds which made it incumbent
upon Coo to grant him heavenly
bliss. The spirit was I've paid
the price, YOU deliver the
goods. In advocating tithing
a Christian speaker says: "Once
decide to 1.-THE and the only ques-
ton that remains is how you will
distribute it, That's just where
the system falls short of tbs spirit
of Christianity. When once YOU
get it firmly fixed in your mind
that one tenth of all YOU receive
is not yours at all, but Gods,
then the most ordinary honesty
prompts you not to touch the
1.-THE. 1t requires no love Of God
to leave it alone, but OILY the
sort of honesty which prevents
you from taking silver of your
neighbours table. The nine teaths
which you call your own you
hang on to. AS a matter of fact
you are giving nothing.
| haven't figured it out, but |
am quite confident that if every
Christian should give a 1.-THE of
all he should get, for the spread
of the Christian Gospel, enough
money would result to place a
thoroughly equipped church force
within easy reach of every crea-
ture Of the world. am equally
confident that such a system
would not Christianize the world.

the Holy Ghost.
The ideal that Jesus presents
to US is a positive ideal that

IDENTICAL with Gods interests, and

realm of goodness and giving.
Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy Heart, and with
allthy soul and with al thy mind
and with all thy STRENGTH " The
ideal is even more than partner
ship with God; it is a union,
closer than any human partner
ship we know anything about,
closer even than the union Of
man and wife. II is such COM
plete love of God that nothing
will come between the Christian
and Gods interests, 1t is the
love that calls everything Gods,
and uses ten-tenths for God. 1t
is the love that would make all
business Gods business, and
that knows that all business
which is not Gods business is
doomed to bring confusion in a
world made by God.
True. the man who considers
that ten-tenths Of all that he has
and is is Gods, must make some
decision as to how mach he will
turn into the particular business
of preaching the GosHeGBut his
decision will be 'Ailifnocessary,
tho it put M in bankruptcy"
The nearest human Illustrations
of what we mean by loving God
with all our heart, and soul, and
mind, and Strengths seen in the
parents love for the ch.Id,or the
mans love for his wife, and vice
versa. If necessary, would not a
man spend his whole fortune to
save his chiId's or his wife's life?
Ordinarily, however. it is not nee
essary. TIE man who loves God
as Jesus asks us 70 will pat the
