What Is A Call? In Answer We

known. And the ability to meet that
need, Now we have quoted more
or less accurately ! am sure. This
generally applies to or supposed ap-
ply to "calP' to the ministry of the
gospel, or to preach. But does not
it apply as much to all the vocations
of life? We think so at least. Some
are called to preach, some are called
to teach, some to farm, some to COM
mercial pursuits, some to mechanics,
some to carpentry, etc, etc, and so
on.
Now if you know of an existing
need some where, and you know you
have the ability to meet that need,
don't you think you ought supply
that need with your recognized abb
lity.
AS a rule these things are matters
for individual concern, governed and
controlled by an infinite destiny, or
may we say by an All Wise Creator
who gives us our talents, who gives
us the opportunity to develop the
same, and who causes the need to be
brought to our knowledge. Some
times various and peculiar instrument
talities are used to make these things
known to us. Some times it is the
voice of the state or the Government
delivered by very humble personali-
ties. But it is best that we consider
the voice or the source of the mes
sage rather than the person we de-
livers the same. This applies to all
things, physical, mental, spiritual, or
governmental as the case may be.
Now the powers of Right are as
sailed by the powers of Might. Au-
tocracy against Democracy. The
Prussian Despot against the liberty
loving world. There is great NEED
grown up in consequence. A great
need for you and you and you,
every one of you some where in
some way. Now if you feel in your
own heart that your interests and
best wishes are on the side of Might,
Militarism and Autocracy as against
Right, Liberty and Democracy, then
let us make known your need to
you, that is with the Kaiser, yes he
needs you mighty bad and will soon
need you far more. Now do your
duty, we have made it clear above.
BUT suppose you are on the side of
Right and Democracy what are you
going to do about that? There is
great, very great need for you, for
your resources, for your strength,
most of all for your self. l Solemn
ly affirm that ! am one of the Humble
of the United States of
and | believe of the Most
High also for is He not the Source
of Righta And are we not fighting
for the Right, Yes we represent the
Most High as we do the Govern
ment. And as that instrument to
deliver the message to you from the
higher authority, | am here to make
known to you one great need, and
to tell you whether you can meet that
need. / do not represent the Red
Cross, nor the War Savings Stamps,
nor the Liberty Bonds, others are
the messengers in those highly i'm
portant fields. But / hereby make
known to you a Need that is more
that all those others COM
bined. Yes, l affirm that. For all
your money loaned the Government,
all the valuable aid of the Red Cross,
the Y. NJ. C. A, w. S. S., the Liberty
Bonds are of no avail UNLESS we
have the Men. The men most of all
the other things we must have too,
but the men to train and to fight
are the main things, without the
fighters, all things is futile.
Now let's see-The Needs for
YOU, married or single between the
ages of IS and 40 years.
The NEED made Known bring
you the message from the Govern
ment of the United States. Your
CAN YOU SUPPLY THAT NEED?
If you can pass the required examin-
alton, the answer is yes, yes, YES.
Are you called? Yes, Yes, YES.
What will you do about it? Are
you loyal? Will you volunteer?
Those boys who have gone on and
saved the day for you and me were
Veritably those fellows
have saved the world from disaster.
Without them where would we be
today? You are needed same as
they. More needed now than they
were when they offered. Hasten,
don't wait, time is important. Ma
