TEN CENTS A DAY FOR
YOUR SOLDIERS CHEER
BY Mortimer /. schiff.

One hundred and seventy million
five hundred thousand dollars is the
sum asked from the American people
by the seven great organizations work.
ing in cooperation for the welfare and
happiness of the men in our army and
navy. With this sum these agencies
now associated in war service can
carry on their great task of bringing
fellowship and Il touch of home com
fort into the lives of those who have
left home and dear ones TO fight for
their country and the cause of democ-
racy.
At first glance it seems tremendous
sum. even in these days of generous
giving. But considered in terms of the
task confronting us and the number
of men to be benefited, iI is ridic,i-
iously small. Next year our armed
forces will include in the reighborhoOd
of five million men, and divided among
them these millions will amount to less
than ten cents each a day.
Ten cents u day to bring comfort and
happiness to each soldier and sailor
That seems little indeed to give. Ten
cents day for the man who lays his
youth on the altar of his country's
need! Ten cents day for our best
and bravest who have answered the
call to defend the liberties of the
world Ten cents day TO send the
sustaining advantages of wholesome
fellowship and good cheer to the hoy
who went 30 valiantly into that grim
but necessary business overseas. The
sum of $3.50 will cover the expense of
keeping up the spirits of one soldier
for a whole year. inspiring him with
the fine morale that Napoleon called
three-fourths of the battle. To every
stay-at-hOme 1t ought to be worth the
utmost in self-,ieniel to give, for those
who have denied themselves every
thing. to serve our common country.

HEAVEN.
BY RABBI JULIUS !. PRICE.
written for the Advocate


Heaven is the supreme felicity Of
soul made in the image of God. Our
idea of it will always be our con
ception Of what constitutes the sum-
mum bonum or highest good. This
depends on our moral and spiritual
condition. for what a soul desires de-
pends on the state of the love, for
desire is but the going forth of our
love to appropriate its object. If our
conception of that state of things
which we suppose would constitute MS
supremely blest. and fill the measure
of our capacity for enjoyment, could
at once be embodied in reality. that
would be our idea of the celestial
state.
If our Imagination and desires could
assume fixed form and give birth
to living realities. that would be the
heaven in which we are fitted to
dwell. Hence the views of heaven en-
tertained by mankind become an In
dcx to some extent of the inward char
acter. For the conceptions and de-
sires have their birth in the love and
this is what gives quality to the in
ternal man.
But how different is the view OF
heaven entertained by different indi-
viduals and peoples? Those who are
still natural and sensual and are
flourishing in the dismal swamp of
materialism. must have a celestial state
of which the pleasures of sense must
bc the chief ingredient. Our knowl-
edge of heavenly things can never he
in advance of our inward life. The
light which is in us must he the light
of life.

1t is apparent that the above shows

decrease in the number seeking the

points to a period of great transition.
