"SoMEWHERE."
Blind Girl Thrills Hearers with Strange
ly Fitting Song at Twilight
Hour Service.

1t was "just song at twilight but
it left strangely deep impression upon
the little crowd of people gathered at
the young peoples service at the Park
Avenue Methodist Church on Sunday
evening. Led to the front of the room
by her accompanist and facing an audi
ence that she could not see, Sara Won
VALID, a blind girl, thrilled her hearers
as she sang: Somewhere the Sun is
Shining. Somewhere the songbirds
dwell. Hush then thy sad repining;
God lives and all is well.' Yes, it was
an old song but the personality of the
singer made it new and novelty inn
pressive With voice of rare sweet
ness and unusual power she sang with
a sincerity that carried conviction and
brought tears to the eyes of those who
saw and heard. In the same service
Miss Theresa Hughes spoke of her ex-
periences as deaconess in Little
Italy, somewhere in San Francisco.
Emphasizing especially her work among
the children, she enthused her audience
with her spirited stories Of life among
the lowly and her eloquent appeals for
social service.

PATRIOTISM FROM THE PULPIT
Extracts Sundays Sermons in the City Churches

with regard to the second liberty Loan.
With Sammy backing scraps Of pa
per, made in America and guaranteed
by the STARS and Stripes we will smoth-
er Prussianism and leave the world safe
for democracy and religion. Rev
Francis Czerwinski, st. Kazimierz Cath
Ole Church.
"Our government has issued a proc
lamation, calling upon all of US to buy
Liberty Bonds so that the extrsordi-
nary expenses incurred in prosecuting
the war may be met and keep our ma
tional honor unsullied. It behooves all
patriotic citizens to heed this procla-
nation. From many homes have al
ready gone talented and, favored sons
who will fight our battles and repre-
sent us in the conflict. Should we not
be willing to aid to the full extent of
our financial ability9 Those who go to
the front win follow old Glory where
ever that emblem and ensign of liberty
may go. Let US stand by our boys and
help our nation to win this war for de-
mocracy and freedom throughout the
world. Rev. II. K. Gebaart, D. D.,
Grace Lutheran Church.
X \
SIT is our duty as citizens of the
United States to subscribe to the Lib
erty Loan. Many boys have left Ke-
nosha and Wisconsin to fight our bat
ties and have left to us the task of
providing funds for their protection.
Buying government bonds, therefore
has become our sacred obligation to our
President, our soldiers, our adopted
country, and our God. Rev. Peter
Perardi, Holy Rosary of Pompeii Cath
olic Church.
Every man should do his part in
raising the second Liberty Loan and
respond to the call of the government
insofar as his means will allow. Rev.
Edmund REIN, Sta Luke 3 German
Evangelical Lutheran Church.
"A man who will not fight and will
not buy bond is Stacker to his coun-
try, his conscience, and his God and is
no longer deserving of the sacred pro-
lection of the Stars and Stripes. Broth
ers we are not in this fight alone. The
God of our fathers is with US. If we
will stand by Him with every dollar
and every drop Of blood that we possess
we shall win and by His omnipotent
grace rid the world forever of Kaiser
ism and the so-called divine right of
kings. All hail the sovereignty Of free
men and free women. Rev. o. w.
Taylor, Park Avenue Methodist Epis-
copal Church.

the single spot light trained upon it,

by an exceptional address by Mrs.

told in every detail the history of

Mrs. Cronyn, as the representative of

scenes from the time even before Betsy
Ross sewed together the first star
spangled banner, until today when

forty-eight stars, waves defiance to any
enemy who threatens her freedom
Mrs. Cronyn' Is address was full of
timely suggestions to the women of
Kenosha as to the various ways In
which they could serve the flag, whose
story she so Interestingly related. Fol

HIt is stated that America entered
the war to make liberty and democracy
secure throughout the world Yes, it
did. But it has also entered the war
for more immediate reason. While
she is the champion of universal de-
mocracy, she entered the war primarily
because of the persistent insults and
aggressions Of Germany, the wanton
disregard of American rights within
our own borders as we'll as upon the
high seas, the contemplate violation of
international law, and the ruthless de-
struction of American property and
American lives. Could we submit to
these outragesg tNo!' is our cry and
as true-blooded American citizens we
must stand by our President who is up
holding the rights Of international
justice, universal democracy, and civili-
cation. That is the reason that I am
going to help the Boy Scouts sell Lib
erty Bonds and die in the streets,
I will die happy in the knowledge that
I have performed my duty to my coun-
try and my God. REV. J. j. Conway,
st. James Catholic Church.
"The democracy of the western world
is at war with the autocracy Of the
eastern hemisphere. This is nothing
new in history. Autocracy and democ-
racy have been in continual struggle
from the dawn Of civilization to the
twilight of the great war. Nor is it the
first time that America has participated
in the mighty conflict. In '76 our fore
fathers struck for liberty and gained
it. In '61 we fought great civil war
in order that democracy might continue
in nation no longer half-slave and
half-free. Today the democracy Of the
world is put to tremendous test to
prove its worth as world-power. If it
fails, government of the reople, by the
people and for the people will perish
from the earth and leave us, Americans,
In the darkness of autocracy and des-
potism. That must not happen here
and to prevent it we must and will sub
scribe to the Liberty Loan and accord
our government our full financial sup
port. Rev. I. W. Corey, First Baptist
Church.
ssThe world has learned the value Of
Prussian pledges, scraps of paper.
The colossal oversubseription to the
first Liberty Loan in the United States
with its attendant panic in Germany
gave assurance to the world Of the val
ne of Uncle Sam $ scraps of paper,
American greenbacks. Every bond is a
bomb not of destruction but of con-
struction. It is therefore criminal for
any American citizen to be Stacker
