ONTARIO'S BOYS AND GIRLS
ASKED TO AID SUFFERERS

To the children Of Ontario and
vicinity the general committee on
Community Christmas tree want
every boy and girl TO have Joyous
Christmas. If any Of you know Of a
boy or girl who is liable not to re-
celye a Christmas treat we would
be pleased If you would report it 20
one Of the pastors, or Sunday
school Supt., or o school teacher or
supt. Douglass. or one Of the editors.
We want you all TO have a good
Christmas but while YOU are doing 80
we want you to think of the 100000
orphan children In the Bible lands
who will have no Christmas unless
we help send II to them. We are not
spending a large sum of money this
year for candy treat, because we
feel that you would rather this
money be sent TO those other child
rem. and we know that you will want
to help with the Offering. so we are
giving you all the chance.
President Wilson says, Reports
Indicate that OF Orphans alone there
are more than 100000, besides
women and other dependent chi'd-
ron. reaching a total OF more than
100000 destitute survivors. Tho
situation Is so distressing as to make
a special appeal to the sympathles Of
all" We are now witnessing IN this

the three ancient races OF Christen- .
dom. All because they have re-
peatcdly refused to give up Jesus
Christ for Mohammed. These are
the eoplc who stretch out their
hands TO us for sympathy and aid.
To-day millions OF men. women and
children are dying for lack OF food,
clothing and shelter. An old gen

MERRY CHRISTMAS

The observance of Christmas as the
day of the birth of the Savior. though
there is no evidence of it's really being
such, is by common consent, pleas
ing and profitable custom, and it is
moreover, the one thing in which
Christians of all denominations, with
but few exceptions, actually concur.
In almost every other particular;
creed, doctrine, rites and ceremonies,
there is almost infinite diversity of
opinion and practice; in regard to the
propriety of making>the alleged day of
our Savior's birth, a holiday, there is
substantial unity and, by some means
or other, the birth of Christ has been
so impressed upon the worlds customs
and manners, that every event in it's
history, social, governmental and per-
sonal, must, necessarily, be connected
with that important event as the orhs
OF the solar system are with the great
luminary. Thus Christ is the light of
the world, and all our affairs are con-
nected with Him as the planets are
bound to the sun by the law of gravita-
ton. In every letter we write, every
deed we execute, every item of bust.
ness we transact, custom has made
it necessary and unavoidable that we
should connect the transaction with
the truth of Christ. And it is a
significant fact that the nations that.
thus recognize the Savior, in even an
incidental manner, are those most
advanced in intelligence and civiliza.
ton - those that are most powerful
and prosperous, those that really
govern the world. The nations that
celebrate the 25th of December and
that designate the present year as
1917, are the favored ones of the
world. That such is the case can be
attributed to no other cause than
Christianity, of which Christmas is the
emblem.
This year, with the horrors of the
cruel world war that is being waged
over there, that has brought about
peculiar conditions over here, will
cause this Christmas to differ greatly
from those just proceeding it. How
ever, as God moves in mysterious
ways His wonders to perform, who
knows that this is not the dawning of
new era of prosperity and happiness,
in which our new national slogan:
"FREEDOM FOR ALL FOREVER"
will not be Sounding brass and a
tinkling cymbal?" So we send our
readers the usual greeting, MERRY
CHRISTMAS!
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1917-12-22
WHAT FOOLS SOME MoRTALs BE-

Every white man in Mississippi
realizes the seriousness of permitting
Negroes to roam about in the South
in the uniform of United States Army
officers" Thus runs a sentence in a
Vlcksburg, Mississippi, dispatch to
the New York World. What is there
serious in this? The colored men
who have won officers commissions in
the National Army were selected be-
cause of superior intellectual qualifi-
cations, they were given the intensive
training Of the Reserve Officers
Corps at Camp Dodge, Des Moines,
Iowa. They were commissioned only
upon merit; and there is no reason
to believe that they will fail to do
credit to the uniform which they are
entitled to wear. That a white Miss
issippian of Democratic faith should
find it a serious matter for any COL
Ored man to wear other than overalls
and jumper or to carry in his hand
any implement more important than
a hoe may we'll be believed. But that
there is anything of real menace in
such thing is ridiculous.

FOOD CONSERVATION.

Lest we forget! We are at War,
and it is not a mere outing like the
Spanish-American War-but a serious
war in which the little things that
each person is asked to do will prove
of as special Importance as the larger
ones. You are asked to make the
small sacrifices, so that the larger
sacrifices will not be necessary.
If one-half of all the colored families
in the United States would use one
teaspoonful of sugar less in their tea
and coffee one day each week, this
little sacrifice would result in the saw
ing of 100000 pounds of sugar year.
Sugar is necessity in this war; If
one-half of our families would use one
pound of -four less each week, it
would save 100000 bushels of wheat,
which could be sent to help feed our
soldiers and those who are fighting by
our side in this war.

Mr.. NATHAN STRAUS is RIGHT

Mr.. Nathan Straus, we'll known
multi-millionaire of New York City,
who is campaigning to raise $1,000, 900
for welfare work among the Jews in
the national service, exhibited the
spirit that should burn in the breast
Of every man, in inviting fifty colored
soldiers OF the national army at Camp
Upton to his home for Thanksgiving
dinner. 1t is stated that he did this
as one way of showing impartiality in
welfare work which he had empha-
sized ought not be confined to aiding
men of only one race, one nationality
or one color. It is claimed on all sides
that this great world war is being
waged to firmly establish a. world
wide democracy, which is only another
name for the brotherhood of man. It
cannot be claimed that this is a white
mans war, as white men constitute
only one-etghth of the cosmopolitan
peoples that are actively engaged in

WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES.

The new war savings certificates
will bear 4 per cent interest, will run
for term of five years and will be is
sued in denominations as low as SIS.
They are to be just what their names
Indicate, "savings"~ certificates, a.
means of investment for small savings,
SO. that the money will be safe and
profitable and at the same time afford
ing the government the use of it. It
is planned to sell the certificates to
the public on the installment plan by
using stamps that may be purchased
and pasted in book for that purpose.
When there are sufficient stamps to
cover the cost of certificate the book
can be exchanged for one. The stamps
will be placed on sale in every town
and city in the country.
The individual who has money laid
by for rainy day need have no hest
tation in converting it into war saw
ings certificates, since the government
will redeem them at any time upon
the request of the holder, allowing in
terest at per cent. Under this ar
rangement the investor in these GER
tificates will have the satisfaction of
knowing that if any emergency should
arise in his family, such as sickness
or death, he could Immediately realize
upon his certificates.
1t is a safe prediction that the war
savings certificates will go like hot
cakes" Their small denomination, the
good interest rate, the terms upon
which they may be purchased, the
fact that they are not subject to taxa
ton when held by persons of small
means--all will make them an at
tractive investment. Working people
