Joining hands with the government
In its efforts to conserve coal. The
denominations have been asked to
unite in holding services, making the
services nterdenominational for the
time being, several CONGREGATIONS
coming together to worship as one.
This ia we'll, and it has been adopted
in part here in Walhalla. In the flu
ture, for the present at least. a sched-
nle OF no night services will prevail.
though the morning services will con-
tinue as heretofore. There will be
no prayer meetings held this week;
and hereafter. until notice of change
OF plan, union prayer meetings will
be held. In order not to interfere
with the work OF the Sunday schools,
morning services will be held in the
several churches for the present. as
the buildings will have to be heated
for the Sunday school exercises.
1t seems that if the churches can
to cooperate with the government in
conserving fuel, surely the private
homes can be brought into a close
cooperation, each household endea-
roring to curtail the use of coal to
minimum. 1t is important--it is i'm

rather than at present Inconvenience
ourselves a little by conserving the
short supply. The government Is do
ing its best to relieve the situation,
but it'tannot cope successfully with
IL unless 1t has the cooperation OF
the people.
Then there are other considera-
tons, TOO, that we must look forward
to. If we waste fuel now. sooner or
later business and manufacturing en-
tcrprises will be forced to close by
reason OF an actual fuel famine. Bet
ter to conserve coal now than, later,
see hundreds OF people thrown ont of
work because the mills and factories
cannot get coal with which to ope-
to.
Let us each resolve to do his part

feed, unnecessary buying, and, above
all, stand ready at all times to CO.

CONSERVING FUEL.

The appeals Of the government
come daily to the people Of the coun-
try to conserve fuel. 1t is an urgent
appeal, the needing Of which is Of
vital Importance to the welfare of
the nation. Coal Is scarce because
the transportation facilities of the
country are being used largely for the
transportation Of army supplies to
military camps, men to and from
camps as the .sxigencies Of the situa-
tion demand. TODD and fuel and NUM-
tions of war for our armies across
the water and the armies Of our al
lies. who are hghting our battles for
us and holding he lines against the
enemy until our own armies can be
constructed and take their places in
the thick Of the fight for right and
justice and liberty.
Every sacrifice that we make to-
day will have it's weight in bringing
the war to Il successful conclusion;
every wilful waste but helps to draw
'"l t"S hSuIS Ill vi llc wal. Hllu
every day that the war Is lcngthened
means the loss OF additional lives
American lives as well as the lives OF
our friends across the seas--and the
lives Of our enemies also. There is
not an American. we feel sure, that
would have this terrible war account
for the needless taking, Of even one
life Of those unfortunate people who
are fighting against liberty. How
much more. then, does ii become us
to enter heartily into every work,
every sacrifice, every economy, that
VIC may lend our help to the cause
OF liberty and to the end Of saving the
lives Of our soldiers and those Of our
allies! Let us stop and think at
every turn, and cut down useless eX-
pcnditures Of money and stop any
waste OF which we have been guilty
in the past.
