A. J.. Lathem, ID. D., OF Chester, Pa
startled the congregation or West

he declared that tho great world war
is due TO the fact that God has pOuf-
ing the Walls OF his wrath upon the

AL but q fringe OF the people have
forgotten that there IS Sabbath

have virtually said that they don't

are going TO make Sunday day Of
pleasure instead Of a day Of rest. In

Because God wants TO punish
Germany after he has punished hei
enemies because Germany tore the
pages from the Bible and taught moi
God but the Kaiser. Coo enables
Germany TO hold out until her enemies
are punished by God and then Ger

ITO regard home-making as a bust.

ITO know mechanics better in order
to choose and use household tools and
improved devices more intelligently.
ITO work for legal measures insur-
ing purity, honesty and sanitation in
the manufacture and sale of all home
products.
TO understand color, form and line

The Use OF The
Liberty Loan

To the American citizen wht
gives some consideration to fea
lures of his investments other thar
the mere moneyreturn from them
the uses to which the money raised
by the sale of the Liberty Loar
Bonds is to be devoted will prove
a patriotic inducement to purchase
such bonds. A certain dignity
attaches to money invested in a
high and noble cause.
The Liberty Loan is made by the
United States Government to pur-
chase arms and equipment for
American soldiers and sailors, food
and supplies for the American
Army and Navy. The money is to
be spent in America for those
Americans who are fighting Amer
ica's battles on land and sea.
Part of the money raised by the
sale of Liberty Loan Bonds is to
be loaned to our sllies; this loo is
to be expended in America. IT is
to be spent for food and supplies
for the Armies of our allies fight
ing on our side on the various war
fronts in Europe. 1t is Americas
first contribution towards doing
her part in the war we are en-
gagged in.
It is billions for defense in the
worldwide war Autocracy is wag-
ing against Democracy, but not
one cent for tribute.
