Marine Jordy said that they were not

Biblical Thrift.

The Scriptures give us many lessons
in thrift. Ezekiel warned the children
of Israel that during the siege of Jeru-
salem they would have to be thrifty.
He said: "Take thou also unto thee
wheat, and barley, and beans, ana
lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and
put them in one vessel, and make thee
bread thereof. "-Ezekiel iv: 0. The
Bible shows that Ezekiel ordered the
children of Israel to eat their meat
by weight, and even thus only from
time to time. Thrift Magazine.

The Pacifist as a
War Worker
r.
D. MINNIE BOYER DAVIS
Of 7hs VSisnsss

Some were paciists before the war.
ers-well, for instance. my friend-or
rather my former friend. Miss Il. She
never did believe In war. When Bel.
glum was invaded and the Hun fe-
r%0clously b%nyoneted babies and viOlat-
ed little girls she still refused to be.
lleve In war. To some Of us war g
ed the most horribly apparent fact In
the world. but still she did not believe
In II. She wns a paciiist and u pncl-
fist. as near us | cnn tell, seems to be
u who has resolved to Ignore war
as long as the war does not hurt them.
She had been for years, and Is still, a
state employee. and at times she hns
been n social worker. one Of those we'll
meaning persons who believe that one
pnrt Of society Is qualified to reach
down and lead by the hand certain
more unlucky parts Of society to show
them the way they should go.
Up to the last minute Of the Inst
hour before the wnr vote was taken my
former friend maintained that we had
nc cause for war and there was no
possibility that we would ever be Ia
the war. Just what went on In her
mind when we took up u stern task
Of checking the advance ~ the Hun |
cannot guess and she has never told,
I wondered II she would stick to her
principles and fight for them. ] no

scrlbed to the Red Cross. She may
have been one Of those who would give
to the Red Cross because In doing Sc
she was not helping the war. Other
pacifsts have said rs much. but even
their tainted" money will help.

Later I learned that my former

lieved that she had been r%egenerate,
and was no longer n pncifst. We ha,

tired of IL. II really took hours To get
anywhere. Living was too high 10
save nny money. She had written nll
the expert stenographers who had mp
piled to her for advice that they should
keep their Jobs In Nebraska. That, In.
deed, the most patriotic thing that Me-
braskans could do was to stay In Me-
braskn even though the government
was "just crying for stenogrnphers."
She was coming back to raise u garden
and a pig e'.d that was the best thing
for all Of us to do. And Mt this time
