Small Investors
 and the Bonds

6N HE large corporations and mill O lionaires have been subscribing heavily to the $2,OO0, ,0oO liberty bonds. They could buy the entire is sue without the least strain on their bank accounts, and if the administra- tion were to intimate that big sub scriptions were particularly desired the total amount would be oversub- scribed in short order.
 But for the moral effect small in- gestors and all classes of people are especially invited to subscribe. Every body who can possibly do so should buy bond.
 There are millions of Americans in moderate circumstances who have lit tie savings accounts. If they do not feel like investing $1OO in a bond let them take bond of the $50 denomi- nation. But of the vast number of thrifty people in this country, al though not. classed as wealthy, thou sands upon thousands can afford to invest from $500 to $100O Now that people understand fully the conditions and the high value of the bonds, aside from sentimental reasons, there will be no lack of buying among the aver age public. Without the corporations the moderate investors could absorb the total issue and the business of the country would not feel it.
 Patriotism runs high these days, and after the $2,0O0, 100000 of liberty loan bonds are all taken and locked up in strong boxes, patriotic Amer jeans will be ready for another lib- erty loan as big or bigger than the one now offered. There will be no end of money for cause like this-liberty and humanity against autocracy and brutality.

In the service held in the Church Of
the New Jerusalem, on Thanksgiving
day, the pastor the Rev. Geo. Henry
Dole, spoke as follows
Never before have we met on a
Thanksgiving under such conditions as
we assemble today.
There are those who seem to think
that at this time the causes for regret
and sorrow are ~reater than those for
Joy and thanksgiving.
We cannot but think Of the thou
sands that fall on the battlefield every
day. Though their pain is come TO an
end, sorrow and mourning invade tho
homes That are bereayed Our minds
will revert to the hundred thousands
Of children. women, the suffering and
starving. The rayaged cities and desc
Grated fields stand yividly before us.
We ourselves, are beginning to realize
losses in battle, and TO feel in this far
removed land the effect Of destruction,
waste, and scarcity.
If we look on this side OF The shield,
we have but little cause for thanks
giving. Yet we need TO look upon 10
that we may be quickened In sympa-
thy, stirred TO action, and moved TO
lnd and do our part in the worlds
greatest struggle and temptation.
In this respect, our thanks should
take a practical form, and lead us to
be grateful for the least service that
we can render in lighting the worlds
greatest battle, and, perchance, the
last Of great conflicts.
But there is another side of the
shield
or those standing before the throne
In heaven, it is written, These are
they who have come out Of great
tribulation, and have washed their
robes white" Temptation is a cleans
ing process. Not one In heaven can be
found who has not endured tempta-
tion. No robes are made white with
out tribulation and the victory over it,
We arc taught that we should not
waver In temptation; that we should
believe that the Lord is present In us,
and that He as a Man Of war will fight
In us, If we only stand true to His
word. and that in the fullness Of temp
tation, victory and peace VIII come
Thus It is with the world at large. 10
must have It's tribulations, and by tho
power OF the Lord, peace must come
by faithful battle and tho victory
It Is natural TO dread temptation; 10
is natural to deprecate battle We
should seek neither. But when in the
Lords providence they come, there is
the opportunity for a deeper cleansing,
a larger victory.
In the midst Of temptation, in the
midst Of the word-war and worldwide
sacrifice and suffering, we have abun-
dant reasons for praise and glor1ca-
tiOn.
Today we praise the Lord for the
courage in the hearts Of men who, for
the liberty Of the country and other
nations, are willing TO give their lives.
We praise the Lord for the faith
that we have In ultimate victory; for
the light that shines through the wide

spread and deep clouds that darken
this day.
1t is written THE Lord is man Of
war" True, the Lord never commenced
battle; the angels never attack; but
God and heaven are omnlpotent to de-
fend Justice, Righteousness, and Chris
tian peace
"The Lord is a man Of war" He it
is who In the hearts Of the brave,
lights for us. He gives the wisdom OF
counsellors, he spirit OF sacrifice, the
hardihood to endure TO the end; He 1t
is who wins and gives the victory.
Today we render TO Him all thanks
for the spirit and endurance Of our
armies; for the faith that reigns even
when the battle seems 10 go against
US; for the conviction that out Of the
bewilderment In which we are today,
He will lead us to the victory that
viii bless all mankind, a victory that
viii be worth many times the sacri-
flce
He Is thy praise, and He is thy God"
Wonderful goodness Of the Lord that
gives us clear light in so great dark
nessl And how widespread this faith
is; namely that the Lord is with us,
that He will go with us through the
trial. and give the world peace
What more evidence of the Lords
presence do we want than this faith In
the ultimate triumph Of the doctrine
taught by Jesus Christ?
Away back In apostolic days, we see
il taking root, and, though fought with
fire and the sword, ii grew. 10 grew un-
Oil it conquered open opposition. IL
grew until 1t brought England Amer
lea, France and other nations civil lib
erty and civil justice. 10 grew until 10
secured for us religious liberty. 1t is
still growing and will grow, until 1t
bears the fruit Of universal justice and
secured universal peace.
There is an internal way to look
upon the world-confict. THE Lord
maketh the clouds His chariot" THE
clouds are the dust Of His feet" We
can look upon the smoke Of battle as
the dust Of the Lords feet He has
come closer 10 the world than ever be-
fore. His spirit Of liberty and peace
were growing. and about TO dethrone
still further the powers Of night; so
evil powers rise up to defeat His fur
ther coming, to check the growing
power OF liberty. Then Righteousness
takes up arms to defend itself and
maintain the freedom and peace that is
already the worlds. Then through a
noble sacrifice we are made worthy Of
greater peace, which the Lord gvies
as there is preparation.
OF this we are assured, that the Lord
holds human interests in the hollow Of
His hand, and lie will suffer naught
but good to come out Of the great con-
lict We praise the Lord for his Won
derful goodness, for the assurance Of
His presence and care, for the light
and faith that we have; and nothing
calls for greater praise than the assur-
ance that in each event of our lives, in
each incident OF national history. in
every event Of the worlds destiny,
Jesus Christ reigns.

LET COMMON sENsE RULE.

~ HAT trouble between the faculty and the students
OF Delaware College should be composed as quickly
as possible and terms that will leave to neither
element the sting Of humiliation the desire for re-
prsal.
The institution has begun banner year under the
exceedingly efficient management Of President Mitchell.
Its years prospects should not be wrecked by hard
headedness and quibbling for points
Both the faculty and the students should keep before
the eye at all times the fact that the interest OF
the college paramount to the interest of the faculty
the student body. Professors come and go; students
come and go but the college an educational nsttu-
tion. remains
The redeemng quality Of hard commou-sense
should be applied by both sides in settling the conro-
versy. because commonsense is almost nfahle in its
judgments In fact Blackstone has paid TO that quality
the compliment Of saying that law is the essence Of
common sense" The thing needed in Newark just now
is not the essence but the thing itself applied with due

sion, are native Delawareans, and have
pride in the future welfare Of Della
ware. They are men who have had the
advantage Of viewing highways in other
States and countries, and In a way
have broader views than the people
who have only resided within the
boundaries Of their native common
wealth. They are men who can realize
the needs Of traffic as il will be likely
to become after a highly improved
roadway through Delaware, shall have
attracted the thousands Of vehicles and
tourists who VIII avail themselves Of
its smooth and pleasant travel surface.
There must not be sudden turns, or
many winding and deyiating cOures
from straight line, or the toll OF
death from accidents will be alarming
in the future. Above all, the width Of
the concrete must be sufficient for the
safe passing Of automobiles, even when
driven by the crazy fools who persist
in exceeding the speed Of safety. This
view Of the question has been en-
dorsed by THE EVENING JOURNAL
Of Wilmington in an editorial last
week. which says:
THE people of Delaware do not want
the road spoiled by hooks and crooks
which will mar seriously the pleasure
and safety attending its use.
Neither the present down-State
route by way Of Rogers Corner, ST..
Georges and Odessa. nor the one by
way OF Red Lion, KirkwOod, Summit
Bridge and Mlddletown is sufficiently
direct 10 give public satisfaction in
these days Of direct lines and time
saving.
we incline to the opinion that the
commission. will make the new road
both straight enough and wide enough
TO give public satisfaction.
The mere Improvement Of existing
tortuous routes would fall far short Of
the laudable spirit underlying the du-
Pont project and the offer made TO
the commission.
"a wide road and a straight road =
should be the State slogan in>this eX-
ceedingly important natter
Beyond ali Of this, the question Of
running the new State Highway direct
ly through the towns must be given
proper consideration. There is no rea-
son why the State Boulevard of'Dela-
ware should pass through any incor-
porated town or city, with the excep-
tion Of the City Of Wilmington, and
the State Capitol, Dover. BY running
through towns, the State Will lose di-
rect control OF the highway at such
points. and those travelling for long
distances, will be compelled to COM
ply with local ordinances and laws re-
gulating local travel; but, the main
tenanoe through towns will be the
trouble ACCOMPANYING each location.
