A HIGHER CALL

Many calls come to the individual
during these times. calls to buy Lib
erty Bonds, calls to help the Red
Cross, and the Y. Nj. c. A., calls TO |
conserve food and to produce food |
and clothing in greater quantities |
These are worthy and demand the re
spect and response of every patriotic |
citizen of the nation and especially
so, when they realize that these calls
are only the echos of a greater call,
that of freedom, human rights, and
civilization, that of love, cooperation,
advancement and Justice
No one is in doubt concerning the
purposes and ambitions of America
in this great war, and that those pur-
poses are as far from being selfish
as the east is from the west A high
er motive and a more worthy aspira-
ton was never INDUCED in by any ma
ton than that which caused the
United States to throw aside, or rather
we should say cast on the waters, her
greatest ideals for peace and prosper
ity, in order that she might defend the
rights of humanity in every part Of
the earth and turn into reality among
all men and classes of men those
ideals which she hoped to attain for
herself.
Among all the nations of the
world, there has never been in the
history of human affairs a nation as
philanthropic as the United States.
. Founded for the sake of moral and
religious freedom that men might
| live, learn and be occupied according
to the highest dictates of their con
science, America has ever continued
Il L. Io I,o, nj Of n
human liberty, of the oppressed anC
of Justice. The eyes of all who neal
her harbors are confronted with pres
: ence of liberty and industry.
= Throughout her history she has fol
n lowed the leadership of great Chris
tan spirited men, whose high sens
I of honor and justice, have led he
out of sinful pursuits into a realm
and an age of highest ideals and thu
| purest hopes.
II 1t is not that we would idealiz
| our nation to the extent of affirming
| that she is without sin, and that Their
| are not needs and demands for grea
| social and economic readjustment
that we say these things of her, bu
that we might impress upon tn
minds of her citizens that she doe
stand out pre-eminently above a
| other nations as the champion c
truth. and of the highest standards {
human and even long before thos
happy days, if indeed it is possibl
that they may be happy, when W

from the nation itself, but ARISE @
of congestion of conditions ana

vine law demand that such calls

We speak of an eminently high
call than ever came from earthly &C
ditions alone 1t is the call of the
vine of human nature, of mortal a
