: free indeed" 1t is freedom which we
desire above all else in these moment
GUS hours. It is faith in ourselves
ence to our great Captain which will
give US victory, The glory shall all
be His.
Christ
In the camps, on the march, in the
trenches, must be heard and obeyed.
We have been asked to rive Of our
money to make cur boys comfortable
and safe. They gave themselves, even
to the last drop Of blood, for US.
The life of a soldier at best is a
hard one. In addition to his mental
and physical hardships, his very
soul is scorched by the breath Of the
temptof. He needs cur help. We
have been asked to lend our money
(not to give it, We have gone cover
the top" four times, and we will go
over till the foe is vanquished-not
only the yanquished Hun, but the
more deadly foe Of sin--or our last
dollar is gone.
Never Before
have the nations Of the earth passed
through times like these Behold mil
lions of the flower of our land, the
hope, the joy and the pride Of our
hearts and homes, in deadly combat
with the minions Of hell. In the place
of fields Of waving grain, windows
of dead on every hand, instead of
songs Of praise and thanksgiving from
loving lips, we hear curses of re-
venge from clinched teeth, parched
and bleeding lips; instead Of hosanahs,
an army's death-groan; stacks of dead
on all sides; the earth torn; the sea
bloody; the star Of hope hidden by the
vultures Of death and hell.
The Prince of Peace
lie is coming again. He is even
now on the way. Behold, He com
eth; 60 We out to meet him" He
comes over a prepared way prepare
We the way of the Lord"
His Own People
are asked at this time, this week, to
give one hundred and seventy million
dollars, a mere fraction compared
to that spent to destroy lives Of men.
For What?
To press the cup of salvation to the
lips Of our dear boys; to guide their
faltering footsteps as they approach
The well Of salvation; to gently lead
them to One called Jesus in these
awful and potential hours. Hear me,
oh, We men and women "back home"
This is no time to discuss our creeds,
