The success of the Fourth Liberty
Loan shall be the Republican party's
supreme motif of thought and action
until that objective is attained.
Wherever Republicans are to-

shall be a win-the -war meeting.
Just as the Republican partys every
action at all times has been and shall
be determined solely by how we can
contribute most to the wars success,
so now our every thought and action
shall be determined entirely by how
we can make certain the quick over

This is a united country's next

God tabernacles with men today
AS in the far off days of yore,
His habita ton ever nigh,
His roof extends from shore to shore
When morn comes sailing down the
hills
Men dwell within the Fathers care:
When MYRIAD stars the heavens fill
They lift their grateful hearts in
prayer.
God tabernacles with men today
His tent is on the battle held
Where men for Justice bravely fight
God is their everla sting shield.
Though boom the cannons far and near
Though sound the guns-the plafe OF
drum
Ea CHI soldier knows, that he is safe
And to his Fathers house can come.
God tabernacles with men today
They can His very presence prove.
He lives in every noble deed
Lives III the smallest act of love!
How wide His doors! His walls how
high,
They stretch from sun to farthest
star:
To all His children He is nigh
No mortal thing their souls can par!
God tabernacles with men today:
Rejoice, O earth, that lie is mere.
No more mems hearts with anguish
No more the thoughts of pain and
fear!
Men bide in God-Te is their home!
They draw upon His bounteous store.
All of the good they ever dreamed
Is theirs Today Forevermore.

WHAT HOME SERVICE MEANS.

So many questions are constantly
coming to the Home Service Section OF
the Red Cross that few words as to
its objects may not come amiss. The
Home Service Section aims TO serve
the folks at home. 60 bring them
nearer to the man In the neid, and to
bring him nearer to the ones at home.
Sometimes IL means helping to
straighten out a financial tangle, some
times help In the training of the chill
dren, sometimes being a biz brother to
a young lad who needs a bit OF friend
ly counsel. or advising-a Young wife
who may be worried about the coming
due OF the. mortgage and what her
rights under the'inw may be- H.
Then. rmc there are sometimes de-
lays In the mills or lost letters, and
sometimes delays In the allotment, or
errors In the amount which should be
forthcoming. These problems and
many others are being straightencd
out by the Home Service section, witif~
out charge to the families. and with
IN efficiency which Is daily growing
more valuable. More than 100000
calls have been answered.
For those who are worried because
of the non-arrival OF letters cable In
sent InquIring about the mans well

In fact the Home Service Section is
living up to its uame--lt In really the
service OF those at home--it IL trying
to be the father, brother or husband
to those left behind.
