LONDON. July 2s- Passed by
censor) This is not cheerful
message. but one which II Is be
lirved is necessary that America
may know how Englishmen feel dur
ing the closing days OF the third
year OF the war
II Is a regrettable fact that never
since the retreat from Mons has the
gloom been thicker than today in
London's streets. clubs. homes and
even some governmental Offices.
The immediate cause. OF course.
is Russia's sudden reversal of form
after totally unexpected and spec.
tacularly successful offensive. But
secondly. the suspicion is prevalent
that there has been no appreciative
reduction of the submarine menace
Thirdly, there IS disappointment
over Americas slowness in entering
whole-heartedly into the war. as ex.
emplifled by congressional obsiruc-
ton 10 President Wilson's food pro.
gram, the shipping board muss. and
so forth.
Fourthly. there is the increased
cost Of the war, and the prospect of
higher taxes.
Filthy. there Is a generally in.
creasing WEAKNESS OF war.
One must not suppose that the
whole country is irrevocably
plunged into pessimism. On the
other hand IL would be equally a
mistake 10 conclude that Premier
Lloyd-George's cheerfully optimistic
public speeches correctly reflect the
general popular attitude.
IL only the west front were con
sidered, there would be no reason
for uneasiness. Altho England has
so far not erected any wooden
statues" 10 Field Marshal Haig-as
Germany has done 10 Hindenburg-

line. even II reinforced by his whole

Who Can Tell Of the Morrow? Don't
Delay. Go to Church Next Sunday.

GONE Of the young people of today when asked why they do not
time; that they will GO TO CHURCH when they grow
old. They'll yehemently declare their belief in God and admit
that the church is all right. But they repeat that they will have
plenty of time to repent and GO TO CHURCH in their declin-
ing years.
How many OF these young people are sure that they will live
to be old? How many OF them, can positively say that they will
LIVE TO SEE ANOTHER DAY? Procrastnation is the thief
Of time. Don't put off until tomorrow what YOU can do today. If
you are having a good time now and ncglecting church, GOD
MAY NEGLECT YOU when you need him most.
AFTER ALL, THE so CALLED GOOD TIMES ARE MORE OR
LESS EMPTY, YOU'LL HAVE A REAL GOOD TIME IN CHURCH.
IT'S THE MAN WITH THE EASY CONSCIENCE WHO HAS THE
REAL GOOD TIME IN THIS WORLD. TROUBLED coNscIENcEs
RESULT FROM MANY OF THE so CALLED GOOD TIMES OF
TODAY. ISN'T THIS TRUE? THINK IT OVER. GOD WANTS THE
YOUNG PEOPLE. THE CHURCH WANTS THE YOUNG PEOPLE.
PREACHERS WANT THE YOUNG PEOPLE IN CHURCH. THE
LESSONS THAT ARE TAUGHT THERE FIT A MAN OR WOMAN
FOR THE BATTLE OF LIFE.
1t seems that in every line of endeavor but the church YOUTH
is ENTHUSIASTIC. Why not become enthusiastic over church?
Isn't the goal worth while? Every young man and young woman
in this community should make it a point to GO TO CHURCH
next Sunday. When you were a child you went to church. Why
forget the church in the days of early manhood or womanhood?
If there ever is a time when you NEED THE CHURCH MOST
it is then. It is the MOST CRITICAL PERIOD of your life.
The church is the BULWARK OF THE NATION. You
Will have to admit that, young people. Then why not help along
this grand GO TO CHURCH movement and attend divine serv-
ice next Sunday?
GO TO CHURCH.
