the public for subscriptions TO the
liberty loan.
The plan OF advertising as an
nounced in the news dispatches IL
cheap, undisnified and in every way
unworthy Of the purpose. II carried
out. II will bring sense Of humilia-
ton to sclf-rcspecting citizens Of the
republic and accomplish far more harm
than good for a great and necessary
war measure. The immediate effect.
OF course, will be 10 arouse general
suspicion that the loan is far from be-
ing a success. II MAY easily be a fail
urc II the advertising program Is car
ried into effect
If we may judge from the announce
ment. II is proposed to bill this appeal
with colorcd posters and placards on
fences and barns after the methods OF
a Wild west show or circus. Public
buildings are to be disfigurcd. letter
carriers arc TO be made sandwich men.
government officers are to be covered
with "stickers' and private letters arc

flag will be changed to suit some Of
the hired press agents who will hav,
charge Of the work.
All this should be stopped. Thu
loan should be advertised in a digni
fled. worthy manner through suci
J channels of publicity as are recognize,
by the best business executives OF tn,
country.
Even the gct-rich. quick promoter
know better than TO appeal for none,
through such routes as are proposed
by the new publicity bureau of tn
treasury department.

Since the publication Of the state

The increase Of deposits in our

TEN QUESTIONS
Literary DigeSt.)

How can the Christian church "in-
spirc people as successfully as the
state does?" Can It lead men to offer
themselves up with the heroic self
aban donment that Is exemplified on
thousand Of miles Of trench-lines OF
Warfare This is the wars challenge
to the church. The Churchnaan New
York; believes. Organized Christianity
is face to face with a new set OF aues-
tons which must be answered. There
are fresh claims that have to be met,
new dilemmas that have to be faced.
strange errors that have to be refuted.
new truths that have 70 be absorbed"
The change In the conditions fronting
the church are well presented. In the
opinion OF the EpiscopalIan editor. BY
a series Of questions lately drawn UP
by an Anglican churchInan and scholar
now serving as n military chaplain.
They are quoted from The Challenge
(London) as follows:
Il. II Is no longer question Of the
relation OF Christianit to agnosticism.
or OF theism to secularism, or Of the
rise Of some new academic faith. A
rival popular religion exists and
nourshes.
80. 1t Is no longer question as TO
what was the real history underlying
the Old Testament. It Is now a ques-
ton. Arc the Jews Of any religious
! value to US at all? Is not their sup.
posed contribution great Illusion? If
it is not. what is to-
"3. It is no longer question merely
concerning forms of Chrtstology, an
cient and modern. and OF New Tesla
ment Interpretation. but Of whether
Christ has for us In any sense the
value of God, or whether he Is merely
a remarkable teacher OF a bygone aGe.
Absolutcness of Christianity.
| -. 1t is no longer a question. Which
past centuries are 10 be the standa I'd
OF faith. ceremonial etc?' but Can we
look back at all?'
IS. II is no longer question whcth.
or tho visible church exists. That Is
almost taken for granted. II Is a aues-
ton whether 1t Is bound to n certain
form. or whether 1t is an organism
free to develop in the future.
&c. n is not question whether We
arc to have an open or restricted
Bible. II Is seriously doubted whether
We are to confinc ourselves to the
Bible at all as a unique sacred book
-. II Is not a question whether the
Sermon on the Mount contains Tho
essence OF Christianity or not. bu,
whether even granted that, II Is some.
thing which VIC still admire. and
whether the larger families OF nations
can be taught to cooperate within tht
area Of its ideals.
IS. II is not question whether
miracles ever happened. or when the.
came to an end. but whether they hav,
over ceased to happen.
80. The nature of Christ's presenc,
in the Eucharist is less a subject fol
inquiry than the question whether
Sacraments and public worship and tn,
observance OF Sunday are necessary a
all, and If we have not outgrown then
why we should retain tAcm.
10. II is not n question whether Coz
is Almighty In the old popular sens
OF the term: for the notion of limite<
God holds the field. II Is n question
as to the nature of his limitation 8
Are they self.imposed or not?"
