triotic address and was all inspires
when he entered the refreshment place
for little lunch. As he took his sea,
a man next to him was instructipg
the waiter:
Gimme bowl Of SOUP" was the
order.
Presently the soup arrived, and then
came the occurrence that almost
caused the man from the mountains
to start trouble.
"Do you know what that man did9r
asked Mr.. Ray, in telling of the in
cident. "Why, when the waiter set
that bowl of soup down before him,
he reached over for the sugar bowl
and put four big tablespoonfuls Of
sugar in it. Well, sir, it just went all
over me.
"In the first place, such a mixture
is no fit eating for a white man. In
the second place, the thought went
through my mind of how folks up in
the mountains had to 20 week after
week without any sugar at all, and
how we have been saving and snar-
ing with what we have been able to
get recently in order that there NAV
be enough to let those women and
kids in France and Belgium have
about a tenth as much as we use any,
way. And that big man putting four
tablespoonfuls of sugar in his SOUP
just naturally raised my dander.
Il don't know exactly what | tod
him, but it was enough. We pretty
near had fight, but it didn't ge,
quite that far. That fellow may GO

of them are subjected to horrors that
can't be described; conditions to which
our own land and our own women and
children might be subjected if We do
not win this war.
When we think on those things
and we do not think about them and
bring them home to ourselves as we
should, how little-how very little
have we done or been called on to do
for the war. The purchase Of Liberty
bonds or War Savings certificates is
not gift to the government; that's a
safe and profitable investment. While
one does worthy and necessary
thing in making these purchases, for
the government must have the money,
we are not making sacrifice. We're
really helping ourselves while helping
the country. And yet some of us wait
to be begged to buy Liberty bond or
aWar Savings certificate. And some
growl and complain about the fuel
regulations or the food regulations
complain if they can't buy all the
flour they want, complain if they have
to eat some corn bread or can't have
everything just as they want it.
Think about it! Men dying on the
live, and we complain Of few little
inconveniences. How contemptibly
small it all is. How unspeakably
shameful that, instead of complaints,
we are not ready and willing a ID
seeking to do whatever is asked of
us-and finding somthing to do with
out waiting to be asked. What right
have we to demand ease and comfort
while others are suffering hardships
and privations and giving their lives

cOnveniences.

Writing of the forthcoming Liberty
Ion campaign, Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo says "the one thing that
impresses me and gives me stimu-
lus and intensity of feeling / cannot
describe, is the reflection that as we
60 about our daily tasks here in COM
parative comfort, men are dying every
minute upon those battlefields in
France" Further the Secretary says:
"They are shedding their blood
without reservation or hesitation to
save us and to save civilization in the
world. Our own gallant soldiers are
beginning to shed their blood upon
the sacred soil Of France. Our gal
liant sailors are being engulfed in the
icy waters of the Atlantic as they go
forth in the defense of Americas s
rights in the perilous task of ridding
the seas Of German submarines.
81 want you to reflect today that
upon the speed and efficiency with
which you perform the work COM
mitted to you depends the lives of
thousands Of men and women in the
world, because the more efficient
America makes herself in this great
time; the more quickly she organizes
her might and asserts it upon those
battlefronts, the more quickly this
war will come to a conclusion, the
greater the number Of our gallant SOL
diers and sailors who will be saved,
and the greater the number Of
stricken civilians who will be brought
back to life and happiness again.
The same exhortation applies to
the sale of War Savings certificates
the saving of foodstuffs, helping the
Red Cross, the war work Of the Y. M
C. A. and any and all the agencies
that help in the prosecution Of the
war and that speed up the organiza.
ton for efficient work. To get the
zeal that we must have to do our du
ty we must reflect that while we &C
arout our daily tasks in comparative
comfort, men are suffering hardships
and dying on battlefields that we may
continue to live in comfort; and wom
en- and children in the battle-strickel
zone not only suffer for food and th'
ordinary comforts of life, but man!

Will Double Contributions 70 Con.

Biblical Recorder.
Brother J. L. jenkins has three
large churches on his field, Lumber
Bridge, Parkton, and Green Springs.
Each church has decided to double its
contributions to the objects of the con-
vention next year. Green Springs has
undertaken the support of a native
missionary and raised more than half
of the amount at their last service. We
shall be greatly surprised if such a
field as this does not raise its pastor S
salary. Brother jenkins was very
successful pastor before, but will
doubtless accomplish more in the fu-
ture as he will now be ably assisted
by Miss Kate Watson, whose heart
and hand he recently won. She is a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. D. A. Wat
son and Of Meredith college.
