forcing their will upon the world.
Let the Teutons triumph and the
world will not be safe place for de-
mocracy; but to make it safe place
is not the only expressed place of the
United States in taking up the chal-
lenge Of the Huns, but also the pur-
pose of the other powers who took
up the challenge when Germany sent
1T forth three years and a half ago,
and who for three years and half
have borne the burden of the conflict.
For this reason the present business
of the United States is War-war to
exterminate organized unrighteous-
ness, and to establish peace among
the nations Of the world.
Friends, is your money fighting for
your country-or is it fighting for
the kaiser?
Men, women and children of Amer

needs $19,000,0 0,000--more than the
present worth of all the railroads and

And whose buys a Bond today;
At last across the foam,
Shall bring a lad in khaki clad
To peace and joy and home"
Mary Rigby

Dear Friends and Citizens of Amer
lea:
This war that we have been forced
into is test of Democratic govern
ment. 1t is also a trial of democ-
racy, as to its fitness to survive. A
small group of autocrats within whose
hands are the resources of Central
Europe, is attacking the principle of
the right of people to govern them
selves. Should the United States and
her allies fail in this war there will
not remain on earth a people absolute
ly independent of the dictation of the
Teutonic empires, organized for mill
tary efficiency and bent on using

were $1,000 knitted articles and
comfort kits. $500 articles of new
clothing for French. Italian. Bel
gian. and Serbian refugee children.
and about 5000 selected second
hand or remade articles OF clothing.
The Christian Scientists also have
given $500. 900 to war relief funds
and spent $4,000 for relief in Hal
flax
one American ship has been sup
piled with enough knitted goods
totaling $500 pieces. TO equip all

Der of the knitted garments and
other comforts have been turned
over to the different war relief as
sociations i'm Boston, which are in

instructions and material for use by
themselves and the members Of
their respective teams, who work at
leisure moments at home. Thus
LILO sewers are banded together
for this particular part of the COM
mittee's program and they are
turning out an average o. over 1000
garments a week. In this work,
they have been greatly assisted by
one Of the patriotic manufacturing
companies Of Boston, which offered
and has undertaken TO do all the
cutting required for these garments.
Much praise has been given to the
Comforts Forwarding committee of
the Christian Scientists by persons
associated with other war relief or
CARNATIONS. for the high quality Of
the articles produced and the sys-
tematic manner of their produc-
tons. Nearly 500 such committees
