American freedom, must have vision
glorious to measure up to the respon-
sibility which war imposes. The young
men lighting our battles were given
their first impulse toward the right IN
the home, and on tomorrow-Mothers
day-the heart of every man in the
service of his country will turn TO
these mothers in love and gratitude
These mothers and fathers as well,
make up the membership of the
churches, and they have made possible
the spirit of better things and that
higher spiritual life which gives more
than human courage to the men who
daily look death in the face without
fear, and with confidence in the resur-
rection to a life immortal.
Praises Y. M. C. A.
"A few days ago I met a gentleman
who is probably the greatest chemist
in America and one of the greatest in
the world. He has a son in France, and
tell you that when a man has a son
in the army or the navy or the marine
corps, nothing else in the world counts
with him. He said, My boy graduated
last year at a leading college, lmme-
diately enlisted, and went abroad. He
is a fine boy, an average American
graduate of a college, keen Intellectual
ly, has lived straight and thought
straight, but he never had taken any
interest in Y. NJ c. A. work and had
never been in one of their buildings.
He wrote back to his mother and SAID,
Mother, l do not know what you are
doing about this war, but l hope you
will give all the time you can to help
the Y. NJ. c. A. 1t is the home touch
to us in France" And most of you
parents who get letters from across
find that the boys have written the let
tiers on the stationery of this assocla-
ton and that they go there for recrea-
ton and for pleasure and for worship,
because these boys are not the thought-
less boys you thought they were They
are serious minded, they are looking
at the eternal verities, but they have
courage and bonniness that never let's
the people at home know how seriously
they regard their conservation to their
country. They have the grim determi-
nation and have felt the need of grip
ping strength and faith in the Almighty
as they go over the top. Let us thank
God and take courage for the young
manhood of America.
I'VE take courage as we send the
boys on the battleships and on the de-
stroyers and on the transports and to
the trenches that near No Mans Land
there is always a hospital and always
heu cross nurses, 10 MINISTER 10 IIeHl
and not only to minister to our own,
but to give their ministrations to the

whether our friends or our enemies.
Thank God that the women of Amer
lea have led the way, and that all over
this country, in cities and in smaller
they are studying and
learning so that as we send a million
men to France they will be ready to
go with them, as we send two million
they will multiply their numbers, and as
we send three, four, five, ten, and
twenty nill'onS If need be, to win this
war, they are backed at home by the.

can thank God and take courage that
American womanhood, which must in
evitably bear the heaviest burden of
sorrow and bereavement, is ready to
sacrifice all willingly and gladly that
the right may triumph.
Following Secretary Daniels address
it was announced that Miss Margaret
Wilson, daughter of President Wilson,
who, it was expected. would attend the
meeting, could not come because she
had made a previous engagement to
sing at Camp Gordon.
Resolutions were then introduced and
adopted. They were as follows:
I'VE. your committee on patriotic
resolutions, recommend that you
adopt as the action of this confer
ence the following declaration:
I'VE greatly deplore the necessity
of war but since, through the
vicious ambitions of German lead
ers it has become necessary for
us to fight if righteousness and
honor are to be demanded among
the nations, we declare it to be the
purpose of the people we represent
that nothing shall be left undone
that will assist in bringing victory
to us and our allies as the repre-
sentatives of the idea that the pur-
pose of government is to secure for
the people the opportunity to pur-
sue the will of God in peace and
security.
I'm the pursuit of this end we
declare it our conviction that all
our preachers are and ought to be
willing to freely offer the use of
their buildings and organizations
for all war purposes consistent with
Christian patriotism.
I'm view of the responsibility i'm
posed upon us by the declaration of
dependence on the churches express
ed by the food administration of our
government we express the convic-
ton that our preachers should con-
tinue to use the regular church
services to impress upon our peo-
pie the increasing necessity for
saving, by every means pos
sible, those articles needed for feed
ing our allies and our forces in the
field
I'm view of many homes of our
church made anxious by the going
of loved ones into the service, and
In view of the many who must
soon pass under shadow through
the natural eventualities of war,
we urge comfort in the fact that
length of life is, after all, not meas
ured by years but by the pursuit of
high purpose. And we pledge both
to our warriors on land and sea and
to our watchers at home our pray
ers that their faith fail not, and
that our Christ and His promises
shall prove for them all their suf-
ficient consolation at all times.
I'VE express our appreciation for
having heard Major Charles Cor
don, chaplain of the Cameron High
landers, Canadian expeditionary
forces, in an address wonderful in
it's pathos and compelling power as
he urged that the allies be ready
to proceed to victory through the
way of the cross

iels. For more than three years the
allied countries, each under IT'S own
military commanders have waged war
against one centralized military power.
They have fought we'll and braveiy,
their leaders have not been wanting in
ability and courage, but there lacked
the unified direction which rs essential
for successful warfare. America, from
its earliest entrance into war, favored
one supreme command of all the allied
forces, but there were difficulties and
some able men could not see the way

We are still having gasless Sun
days and that fact is known by rank
and file of the people, but some OF
our auto owners continue to run
their cars and seem to be waiting
for personal notification regarding
the request. 1t has been noticed
that the same cars are out each Sun
day and they display no placard on
the wind shield or elsewhere to call
attention to the fact that they are
abroad on business and they must
therefore be branded as ''Slackers. "
The citizens Of larger cities have
been acquiescing willingly to the de-
mand and our people should surely
do likewise. This request applies to
all, male and female, young and old,
soldiers and civilians. Soldiers, who
have been under stringent discipline
and used to obeying orders should
surely obey the request of the gov
eminent to assist in winning the war
and helping their comrades across
the water. BY comparison with the
hardships endured by our boys in
the army, it certainly is no hardship
to stay at home on Sunday. If those
who have been driving on Sundays
regardless Of the request knew the
sentiment of the truly loyal people
who have refrained from driving,
