am not here to talk patriotism to
you. You are all 100 per cent. Ameri-
cans. Neither am I here TO tell you
that the war will be lost II you do not
subscribe to the Fourth Liberty Loan.
You all know that. You all know
that unless we back UP the boys IN
tho trenches, unless we feed them'
clothe them ana furnish them with
tho sinews of war, liberty Will
perish. for the time being anyway.
from the face Of the earth. I shall
not harrow your souls by telling you
about the outrages committed In
France and Belgium. nor talk OF the
Lusitania, OF Nurse Cavell. for you
are all familiar with them. Rather
let us be happy in this our tight for
humanity, and let me tell you how you
can buy bonds, and IL you obey the
law which I shall tell you about you
win have no difficulty in getting your
quota
suppose that most every one here
has ridden bicycle. Do you recollect
the first time you rode. before you had
mastered the art. that II you saw an
obstacle a brick for instance, In the
road, you ran right into 1t? on
course you remember that. And do
you remember that after you had
learned to ride bricks had no more
terror for you and you passed
them by and reached your goal In
safety? You remember that too. But
what you do not know. because you
didn't take the trouble to think about
1t, was that both these acts were
| brought about by a law, a simple law
fixed and unvarying-a law known for
ages-and this Is the law: We 90
uhere 1re tcdtch. In the first instance
you watched the brick and ran into 1t
| with disastrous results, and In the
second instance you watched where
you wanted to so and went safely to
your goal.
| 1t Is my understanding that our
great Master. Jesus tho Christ, was
entirely familiar with this law. that
I'VE go where we watch" and made
Himself very clear on the point. First
He said, "What I say unto you. say
unto all. watch" and then. having
warned us to watch He proceeded to
tell just what to watch and just what
not to watch. He said: Take no
thought of your body" or to resume
the vernacular, He said, Don't watch
your body, don't watch what you eat,
or what you drink. or what you put
on the body, and don't watch for to-
morrow (the future)," for He well
knew that IL you did you would get
into trouble And having told us Just
what not to watch He told us what to
watch. He said: This Is life eternal.

Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent,
or once again to use the vernacular
He said, "If you want to be happy,
well, prosperous and live--for surely
that is living-watch God and His
Son Jesus Christ"
Now. am not here to show you
how to make goal on bicycle.
neither how to make the goal OF eter-
nal life. I am neither an athlete nor
a preacher. but am here TO tell you
how to get Liberty bonds-how to, ar
rive at the goal where you will have
a Liberty bond In your pocket and as
a consequence be able to hold your
head up conscious OF the fact that you
have done your part.
Put the same law into operation.
Watch the bond-watch your bond.
Don't listen to some German propa-
gandist, who would have you believe
that the war is nearly won and that
your money Is not needed-don't
watch that brick. Don't listen to n
suggestion of evil that you will
need some money in the future to buy
the sweetheart ring. or the wife a
} fur coat. or tho baby a pushmobile'
J or a new suit OF clothes for yourself
Don't watch any Of those bricks, for II
you do Il is "Goodby Liberty bond.
But watch the bond. Watch it. and
watch It. and watch It and keep on
watching it. and the FIRST thing you
