ALL SAINTS DAY
''Here are they that keep the COM
mandments of God, and the faith of
Jesus" Revelation, XIV:12.
All Saints Day. November lsD falls
this year on Thursday, and there will
be celebration of the Holy Commun-
ion in the Church, at 1890.
The design of the Church in appoint
ing this festival is chiefly to honor God
in the holy example Of His saints, and
also to encourage US who remain yet
upon the battle-ground, to fight the
same 'good fight of faith" AS the
Church cannot assign special day for
every saint and martyr, she here in
cludes them all in one common festival.
All Saints Day possesses charm that
is all its own. 1t is ii great day on
which we are invited to remember our
beloved dead and to thank God for the
good examples of all those, who, having
finished their course, do now rest from
their labors. AS we advance along
life's pathway and friends whom we
knew and loved in the flesh enter into
the spirit world, we think more than
ever of the Church Expectant of which
they form part. All Saints makes its
appeal to the entire human race. Let
US keep the day as the Church would
have US and as our hearts suggest.
Sunday is the anniversary of the
Bishops Conservation. The Rt. Rev.
F. J. Kinsman, was consecrated Bishop
of Delaware, on the Feast of S. S.
Simon and Jude, October 1903, in
Trinity Church, Wilmington, Del.
THE SECOND LIBERTY LOAN ISSUE
AS Scoutmaster of the Local Troop
of Boy Scouts of America, we would
like to say that the Scouts are active in
securing subscriptions, and have the
blanks in hand for this purpose. The
boy getting ten bonds from ten indi-
viduals will receive a Medal from the
Treasury Department. One Scout,
Edwin Mcdowell, has already received
medal for his efforts in securing sub
scribers to the first issue Of the Liberty
Loan. If a Scout calls on you for
subscription help him if possible.
The Liberty Loan seems to be about
the easiest way there is for loyal Amer
leans to help their country in the task
that is now before it. There are other
ways of helping, making demands upon
time, upon strength, upon the purse to
say nothing of those who are making
the supreme sacrifice of all in giving up
loved ones dearer than their own lives
to 60 at any moment to the front. All
of these ways of helping cost something
and those who pay the price, do it glad
ly and willingly, realizing What is at
our country has had to meet since her
hour of independence. Ia all such sac
rifces, the cost is felt every day, per-
haps in every waking hour The ser
vice rendered is commensurate with the
cost involved. The Liberty Loan offers
u way of helping the country in which
only the minimum sacrifice is necessary
to do service altogether out of pro-
portion to any little inconvenience in
viewed. To make the safest ossible
