AN APPEAL.

A joint appeal to the people OF
Louisiana and Mississippi to con
serve both labor and materials III

by J. II. Saunders and j. +.
Thomas, State Directors of the
National War Savings Committee.
The appeal is as follows:
1.-The War Savings Campaign is
the most effective means of im-
pressing the citizens of this coun-

support vast army in tbNiie!d
and a great navy at sea aKn at
the same time spend the same
amount Of money we used to spend
before the war for things which
may be perfectly proper to buy
in times Of peace but which are
not necessary to the carrying on
of the great war which we are
now fighting.
TIT is desired to impress upon
the American people that every
citizen must get behind Ithe gov
eminent, which is devotiiSg0its en-
tire energies to waging great
warfare for freedom. This war
fare enquiries putting of men in
the field and keeping them fed
and clothed. 1t requires a pro-
duction Of ships and shells. guns
and rifles. motor trucks. saddlery.
aeroplanes, hopital supplies, food,
and a great variety Of goods, the
output Of which calls for vast in
dustrial plants from one end of
the country to the other, manned
by millions Of men and women,
who serve their country as eff
fectively as our soldiers and
sailors.
IF the American people re-
quire all the pleasant and com
Portable luxuries which they |
consumed before the war, they are

millions of men and women, TO

things which will help to win the
war;"

The End of the War and the
Promise of Peace.

AS I have said the climax of the
war is set in 1918. the establish
ing Of the foundations of perm
anent world peace in 1919. This
! predicted in 1916. The close Of
two thousand years is now ~
fulfillments of sacred and profanH
prophecy index these as the clos
ing years. But unparalleled events.
scenes, reverses and conditions
will come. These shall make men
of iron endurance, and hearten
them with a new faith. Great
movements with wonderful
achievements will be inauguratad
by the women Of the world. Men
of the world have made the war.
but the women Of the world shall
minister comfort, heal and slls-
tain until peace shall come. the
womanhood Of the world VIII re-
set the foundations of Republics
and crown the new era. This Is
the index Of the Sun Rise
Angel" There will be no more
war nor man made DEGREES of in
equality. Amid the crash Of EN-
pires, falling thrones. and the
midnight darkness of the great
panorama of war, God awaits
within the shadow to set His seal
upon the fulfillmnt of His Will.
There is no place for faith-heart-
cdncss. weakly compromise. hoard
ing. or greedilv commerciallzing
Of this crisis Of the world. 1t will
not profit, but will destroy those
who indulge their avaricious
spirit. The world will be cleansed
Of many evils. Prohibition will
obtain, not only in America but
the world. Child labor will be
renowned in all governments.
Equal franchise will become in
ternational. Thru the fires of this
war Capital and Labor will have
economic adjustment. The broth
erhood of Democracy is the leaven
of God, it must leaven the whole
world. and the nation that resists
il shall be destroyed. This war
will make the ethics Of the Nd
tions, the will of God. Autoe-
racy is the religion Of despair.
Thru this cataclysm Of the nations
the Church will lay down her ex-
hausting burden of ceremonial
ism, and with free hands mould
humanity into Republics of God.
Customs creeds, cruelty are pass
ing. Temples Of Justice shall be
purged Of politics. / Governments
shall be formed to serve man
kind, not for mandkind to carry,
as pack on its back. Barriers
Of racial prejudice are to be con-
sumed. dross Of militarism burned
away, letters Of tradition melted |
off. for God is proving man is
greater than institutions. systems.

ice are rising full orbed.
