RED CROSS TO AID
STRICKEN WORLD
Pubic Is Asked to Enroll in
Work Made Necessary
by Peace.
TO CONTINUE TO"sTAND BY"
Answer to Christmas Roll CALI All
That Anybody Neds to Join Up
Now Is Heart and
Dollar.

The Christmas roll call of the Amer
! lean Red Cross has message to car
ry to all the people. And the re-
Spouse to this message should be uni
versal it should come from every man,
woman and child in the country. All
that is needed in a heart and dollar.
The war has left world filed with
ruin. Peace must restore, rebuild, re-
construct, recreate what war has de-
stroyed. More than that, for hundreds
of millions of human beings, rescued
from social slavery and political bond
age, there must be revealed new
ideals, efficient methods, sufficient or
ganizatiOn.
AS the army and navy were the will
of the nation modified for victory in
war. so is the Red Cross the soul of
the nation modified for service in
peace.
Even after the formal terms of peace
are signed it will take months, even
years, for our present work to be COM
pleted The sober task of withdrawal
cannot keep pace with the tense strain
Of the accomplishment when first we
rushed our mighty army across the
water to save the liberty of the world.
We have two and a quarter millions
of men overseas, flung there with un-.
dreamed of speed. 1t will take three
times as long TO bring them back. So
long as one regiment remains, the Red
Cross, as always, WILL STAND BY.
All over our land there are soldiers
homes in need of information, of coun-
sci, of sympathy and comfort. Until
the boys come home, until all these
families are reunited the Red Cross,
as usual, WILL STAND BY.
On hundred hard-fought fields
there are heroes graves to be identi-
fed, marked and honored-and here
at home are thousands of hearts to
be comforted by the knowledge of
where their loved ones are sleeping.
So long as sorrow comes into these
homes, the Red Cross. as ever, WILL
STAND BY.
But now the world is calling us to
m even greater task.
Belgium, northern France. Serbia,
Koumanla, Montenegro, Armenia,
Syria, and Palestine have been laid
waste-ravished, robbed, depopulated.
The flaming tempest of war has left
them in ruins. The natural resources
have been exhausted and destroyed.
Cities, villages and homes are rubbish
heaps. The very soil has been torn
into sterh!ty. The machinery of life
has been shattered and disorganized.
The people themselves have been herd
ed like cattle and driven into servitude
or exile.
In Russia conditions are beyond de-
scription. To war and its ravages
have been added the terrors of revo-
luton. anarchy and brigandry. The
country is wallow of dishonesty and
licensed brutality. In spite of any
thing and everything the allied nations
can do In the way of relief, millions
Of human beings will starve to death
In Russia the coming winter.
Conditions are almost as bad in Ar
menia, Syria and Serbia.

Sign of the Love Divine

Along life's thorny road.

A ministry of light.

TIE FARMERS GOLDEN
OPPORTUNITY

Nowhere in the wide world has
anyone profted from the war more
han the American. farmer. Prices o.
cotton, rice, sugar, grain, livestock
Unlike the farmes of France, Of
20 sell are higher than he ever dream
ed of-and the end is not yet.
Unlike the farmers of France, Of
italy, of Russia, and of other coun-
5ries in the war, the American farm
ar can go about his work, sowing III
me spring and feeling secure that
lis fields will not be overrun by the
enemy before harvest; reaping in the
.irm knowledge that his stored grain
will not be seized by ruthless invad-
er.
'Tis true the farmer has his
,roubles. Help is hard to get and
he cost Of production goes up every
month by month. What the farmer
las to buy also advances continually
ia price, but the farmer, unlike the
city dweller, can, [ ne desires, pur-
:hase very little and still get along.
lis living is right on his farm. What
ae purchases elsewhere is largely IN
he line of luXuries. He can sell
low, while prices are high, and buy
ater, if he wishes, after prices go
Iown.
In fact it would be wisdom if he
,ollow this plan. Cut down on the
purchases Of luxuries and save for
he next period of depression. That
S just what the United States is ask
jng him to do in connection with the
War Savings Campaign. The world
needs food-all that can be produced.
The government needs money-all
hat can be had. Let the farmer pro-
luce the food and supply hungry
world, and put his money-part, at
east from every load Of produce he
sells-into government war saving
stamps.
The security is the best n the
world; the interest rate is good; the
War Savings Stamps cannot decline
n value. The men, women and child
cen who own them are insured against
adversity.

REV. PRENDERGAST
CATHOLIC PASTOR,
!. GOES To V|CkSbURG
Pastor of Our Lady of the Gulf Bade
His Parishioners Goodbye From
Pulpit on Sunday Last
THE CHANGE A SAD SURPRISE
Bishop Gum Has SO Willed it-Rev.
Father Gnelch, of Canton, Ap-
pointed as Successor

Rev. Father John NJ. Prendergast,
pastor of Our Lady Of the Gulf and
of the different missions Of this vicin-
ity, preached his farewell sermon
from the new pulpit of the church of
Our Lady of the Gulf on Sunday
morning last at both masses, and
with much feeling bade his parishion-
goodbye. He did so with deep emo
ton and there was hardly a dry eye
in the congregation assembled on
both occasions Of that morning.
Father Prendergast, for the excep-
ticn of six years, when he served in
different capacities at other places
and not emitting when he served as
chaplain at Santiago in Cuba during
5he Spanish American war, has been
connected with the Bay st. Louis par
isll fer the past twenty-one years, and
for eleven years, succeeding the la
mented Rev. Father Blanc, served
most zealously and his administration
a successful one as pastor of the local
church.
While here the church was destroy
ed by fire and from state Of chaos
following one Of the most disastrous
fires in the history of this city, he
set about at once and built the church
which stands today as an imposing
monument to his administration to
say nothing of his spiritual labors.
The church, with its cathedral-like
proportions, one of the largest and
handsomest in the State Of MISSISSIPPI
pi, represents a value Of 100000 Or
more, with a comparative small debt
overhanging, which by a system intro
duced and installed by him is auto
matically paid off, and it only ques-
ton of time when the obligation will
have been removed.
Father Prendergast has been aD-
pointed by Rt, Rev. Bishop Gum to
he pastorate OF the church at Vicks-
burg, to fill 4 vacancy caused b.
death, the appointment taking effect
at once, and in his stead Rev. Father
Gmelch, Of Canton, Miss, has been
appointed. While Rev. Father Prem,
dergast left during the week to as
viii not arrive until some few days
yet. In the meantime Rev Fathers
Costello and McHale, present assist
ants, will administer to the spiritual
and business interest of the parsh.
A delegation, headed by Hon. jos,
T. Cazeneuve, and representing thc
parishioners, called at the rectcry
Wednesday night and presented Faith
er Prendergast with purse as Z
slight token of their esteem and as
an earnest Of the esteem in which hc
was held and to express the general
regret which exists on the occasion
of his going away. Similar visits
we're made by other delegations rep
resonting societies OF the church and
handsome gift was also made by
the colored parishioners.

THRIFT SUNDAY

Sunday, February 8 has been
designated Thrift Sunday" and it is
expected that every church in Louisi-
ana and Mississippi will observe the
day with special programme includ-
ing a sermon embodying the idea of
the War Savings Stamps.
The Louisiana State Thrift Com
mittee at New Orleans has received
letters from numerous clergymen in
various parts of Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi volunteering to assist iG the
Thrift movement Ministers of
Waterloo, Iowa, have issued a joint
circular urging members of the
churches to buy thrift stamps and
one church alone bought S3,O25
worth of stamps.
Many churches in Louisiana and
Mississippi have arranged special pro-
grammes in which children play q
prominent part. Uncle Sam is rely
ing to a large extent on the assistance
of boys and girls in the Thrift cam
paign and already they have turned
many millions nto the treasury at
Washington.
The State Committee believes that
churches will reach the substantial
classes to which the Thrift stamps
will appeal, both as a means of serv-
ing ones country and making good
investment. The ministers in the
two states will show that the United
States government is in no sense
begging but that the Thrift stamps
are a frst-class business proposition.
Following up Thrift Sunday" will
be Thrift Day." February 4, when
the work done in the churches the
day before will bear fruit.

to create a stock company for the
purpose Of carrying on theforthcom
ingHancock County Fair on plan
whereby something of permanent
nature can be constructed, of ample
accommodation for exhibits. The mini

mum at S2,500.0O. The stock is val
ued at $500 per share and all public
spirited citizens Of Bay St. Louis apd
the county at large should subscribe
to this undertaking. If we are to
boost our county and make it
the progressive county that we would
like TO have it, we can do no better
thing than endorse a move of this
kind. We must do it, if we are TO
line up with other progressive COM
munities. Petitions are being circu-
