Urges YOUR SUPPORT
(By Y. M. c.. A. Committee)

(Dy 1 M. ". "A. SOluMlLLcCJ
Help tha-boys to keep clean ir
their army life. Help them to fight
the battle against sin. The greatest
help you can give them is to helI
the Y. M. C. A. war fund that will
build and equip a home within reach

ly counsel will aid them in the
struggle against licentiousness and
vice. A soldier in the trenches of
France told his companions this
story of the parting with his mo-
ther:
''The day I left, my mother took
me alone into the kitchen and put
both her hands on my shoulders,
saying, Son, let me see your eye.
I'm not afraid of bullets or rigid
military discipline. I'm proud to
have my boy, give his life for our
country, but I fear most the awful
moral conditions. Can you come
back, If God permits you to return,
as clean as you are now? When
you do. return, we'll come into this
kitchen to stand as we are now.
YOU will not need to tell me If you
are clean. I'll see it in your eye
Can you keep clean, my boy? Can
you do it for your mother?'"
This story is only repetition Of
the counsel given by the mothers
of our Bemidji boys when they left
home to serve their country.
It is,. the duty Of every Bemidji
citizen, to help with their dollars
to support the only substitute for
home within reach of our soldier
boys who are fighting the battles of
their country. Don't wait to be call
