OF wayne COUNTY
WILL BUY BOND

The Wayne county Sunday schools.
which a few weeks ago held Liberty
Loan rallies, special speakers being
assigned to every school in the coun-
ty. are just now hoping to add to the
good work already done by purcnas-
ing a $1,000 Liberty Loan bond which
is to be given to the state association
as representing the pledge OF Wayne
county to the Forward Work" OF the
State Sunday School association.
The Sunday schools in addition to
helping materially the Liberty Loan
campaign by the purchase OF such
bond, will also be assisting the work
of the state organization very mate
rally. E. p. Jones, OF Milton. presi-
dent of the Wayne county association
OF Sunday schools has addressed a
letter to all Sunday school superin-
tendents In Wayne county making an
urgent appeal to carry out the Liberty
Bond plan. In part the letter follows:
II am writing you concerning the
fulfillment Of Wayne county's pledge
to the Forward Work of the State
Sunday School association. Many OF
the schools responded with more than
their apportionment Of ten cents per
their enrolment, some did not quite
make 1t. Several of the superinten-
dents of the larger schools told me at
the county convention last year that
their schools would be In line and pay
their portion. AS yet no payment has
been made by any Of these schools.
What are we going to do about 1T!
have now this proposition to make to
you. Our country is in its third Lib
erty loan drive. This is a patriotic
move that I think no one questions.
Can we add our obligation to our coun-
try to that of our obligation to our
Christ and see our way clear to meet
this call.
THE State association will accept
q Liberty Bond of $1,000 as fulalling
our pledge We have nearly $500 OF
this amount on hand. Will you not
make your payment Of this pledge at
once so We can buy this bond. Don't
you think this will put the Sunday
schools OF Wayne county in better
light before all the people? You
have placed service flags in your
schools. Don't you think the boys Will
think more OF us II we put our dollars
on a bond. I'll me ashamed to look
a boy from the Sunday schools OF
Wayne county in the face unless we
can 20 on record of having been back
of him to the limit Of our ability.
Now let us not let another week
20 by without making this effort. Vote
It out of your Sunday-school treasury
or else appoint committee to solicit
the amount. Send the amount to
w. L. Parkins. Treasurer. Milton, Ind
This $1,000 buys Liberty bond and
the interest OF which helps to carry on
the Forward work of the Sunday
schools, and not for one year, but foi
all the years to come.
IF your Sunday school has made its
full payment this concerns you only
in telling you of the Liberty bond
plan.
III the killing Of the Primary de
partment of your school, the outrag
ing OF the girls in your intermediate
department, the Smelling Of your gen
eral and maternity hospitals, the de
+ struction of your own church building
is what is needed to make you see the
call of the hour-but surely this is moi
the case-I know it Is not. II hope
and pray you will put forth every
effort to make this victory for the
Sunday schools of Wayne county.
believe me yours for the cause o.
Christ. T.. +. JONES.
