CHURCH IS STRIPPED
FOR ACTION IN LOAN,
DECLARES A MINISTER
Ornaments Must Be Laid Aside. Pres.
byterlan Pastor Declares In
Notable Sermon.

THE children of Israel stripped them
selves of their ornaments from Mt.
Horeb onward" quoted Rev. DR.. G. A.
Hubert in a Fourth Liberty Loan SER
mon last Sunday at Kingshighway
Presbyterian Church. st. Louis. The
text was from Exodus 1876.
THE children of Israel faced the
challenge Of the crisis and prepared to
meet 1t. This Is the day when In the
church, as we'll as in state, 'orna-
ments' must be laid aside. Secondary
things must take secondary places.
1.-THE state Is fighting to make the
world safe for ds.Iocracy. The
church's business is to make democ-
racy safe for the world. 1t is the only
organization which can do that thing.
No other agency has it in Its power to
bring this about.
IA man, to be safe in a democracy,
must have motives which are always
prompted by the right. Whoever has
not these IL a dangerous citizen for a
democracy.
1.-THE church's business Is to save
men from sin, but that is not all.
Quite as much it Is the business of the
church to save them to righteousness
and righteousness Ia active, not pas.
sive.
ave may sit and sing our souls
away but we can never sit and sing
them away to everlasting bliss. Today
the church is at Mt. Horeb. Her chal.
lenge Is unmistakable. She alone has
the equipment. She has always be.
lieved in preparedness for her con.
quests. She must assume the often
sive, and no longer doubt her right to
lead the world in moral and spiritual
Ideals"
DR.. Hubert made a plea for the
church to master the worlds of educa.
ton. Christian culture as against mere
culture, politics In that unselfish serv'
ice shall be the mark of worthiness Of
leaders, industry that life may be con
served, the play, the home and the
slums.
Right now, in the Fourth Liberty
Loan campaign, the church Is at Ho'
reb, the speaker said, and she must
assume the task. She must strip her
self for action and let the world know
for what she stands.
II the church does not rally to the
standard of the government in this
war-and therefore to the standard OF
the Christ-then 1t will v be done
and the battle for righteousness must
be fought over again in the future.

TIE TEN WAR
COMMANDMENTS
Adopted by the French People and
Recommended to All Americans.

The economic and social section Of
the League of Patriots, with headquar-
tiers In Paris, 4 Rue Ste. Anne, has dis
tributed a leaflet urging the French to
enddfe without complaint the ~restric-
lions imposed upon them in the inter
est of their country. The following is
a copy:
/. Do not forget that we are at war.
In your smallest expenditure never lose
sight of the interests OF the native
land.
2. Economic on the products nee
essary for the life of the country:
Coal, bread, meat, milk. sugar. wine,
butter. beans, cloths, leather, oil. Ac'
cept rations. Ration yourself as to
food, clothing, amusements.
8. Save the products of French soil.
lest some day you deprive your father,
your son. your husband. who are shed.
ding their blood to defend you.
4. Save the products that France
must buy from foreign countries. DO
not drain reserves Of gold, which are
Indispensable to victory.
s.. Waste nothing. All waste Is a
crime which imperils the national de,
fense-prolongs the war.
8. Buy only according to your needs
Do not hoard provisions; your selfish
mesa raises prices and d%eprives those
of smaller means Of things in%dispensa.
BILE to existence.
Z. Do not travel unnecessarily. Re
fleet that our trains are, before all,
destined for the transportation Of the
troops, the feeding of the population
/ the needs of our national production.
8. Do not remain idle. According to
your age and your ability. work fol
your country. Do not consume with
out producing. Idleness is desertion
9. Accept without murmuring the pri
vations which are imposed upon you
Reflect upon the sufferings Of those
who are fighting for you, upon thu
m~artyrdom Of the population whose
hearths have been devastated by thu
enemy.
10, Remember that victory belongs
to those who can hold out q quarter o
an hour the longest.
That France may live. she must b.
victorious.
