MOVE BEING PUSHED

In observing next Sunday, proclaim
ed by Secretary McAdoo as Liberty
Sunday" and on which occasion the
interests of the fourth liberty loan are
to be advanced by the clergy all over
the United States, it has been suggest
ed that the churches in Washington
devote their regular collections taken
on that day to the purchase OF bonds.
1t is pointed out that there are thou
sands of devout members of churches
who have "sent their petitions to the
Ruler of the Universe for victory and
peace" who are not financially able to
respond to the patriotic appeals from
the pulpits next Sunday.
1t is explained further that these
less fortunate church members nat
uraliy feel like responding. and that
they would enjoy doing something to
assist in the great national crisis.
Therefore, because of this existing
condition, the suggestion has been
made to some pastors and church Of
ficers to consider the proposal to buy
bonds in the name of the church next
Sunday with the collection money

To Take Up Suggestion.
This suggestion will be taken up by
the subcommittee on churches of the
liberty loan committee of the District
between now and Liberty Sunday. In
the meantime the committee is going
ahead with it's plans to make Liberty
Sunday in Washington red-letter
day.
Working in cooperation with the
liberty loan subcommittee on
churches, headed by Byron S. Adams:
all the Washington clergymen and
several hundred laymen, representing
every congregation in the city. have
been forging ahead in the church

ture sent out and several hundred
thousand dollars in pledges already
have been received.

The campaign will reach its height

designated as Liberty Sunday. MIR.
Adams and his committee are putting
forth every effort to have the churches
Of Washington lead all churches of
the country in subscriptions to liberty
bonds.
Preparations for general outpour-
ing of subscriptions in the churches
were begun last Sunday. when liberty
loan addresses were made from prac-
tically every pulpit in the city. This,
coupled with the active campaigns
which the pastors of the various
churches are conducting among their
CONGREGATIONS. will result in a great
outpouring of subscriptions Sunday,
Mr.. Adams believes. in every church

suddenly grew so popular and spread
to almost every city in the United

Many believe that if thing is right
it is right all along the line-it is
right carried to it's last analysis; #
wrong, it is wrong all the way through
from A to T.

becomes the paramount issue" it
will perhaps be the means of Great
