A 100 PER CENT. LOYAL AMERICANA
100 PER CENT. LOYAL CHURcHMAN
A 100 per cent. loyal American is one
who serves his country in every posi-.
bic way. He is ready to bear arms if
need be; he buys Liberty Bonds, War
and Thrift Stamps; gives to and works
for the Red Cross. and denies himself
those foods which are needed by our
soldiers and the Allies. A 100 per cent.
loyal churchman is one who serves his
church in every possible way. He is
faithful in his prayers. regular in his
communions. participates in public wor-
ship every Lords Day, does his bit of
church work and does it well, and sup
ports the church to the best of his
FINANCIAL ability. 1t is as important for
US to be 1OO per cent. loyal churchmen
as it is for us to be 100 per cent. loyal
Am :ricans, for the church is Christ's
executive agency for bringing in Gods
Kingdom Of peace and good will, of
justice and righteousness A Stacker
In the church today is in the same class
as a Stacker in the nation, for men are
coming to realize that the Christian
Church is the most useful and perma-
nent form of community service to be
found anywhere.
One IF the most encouraging signs of
the devotional life of St. Anne's is the
fact that so many Of our people evil
IDENTIFY make the altar and the sacra-
ment thereof the centre of their wor-
ship. This is as it should be. The
Blessed Sacrament is indeed the
church's power house, stored with GRACE
and help and comfort and blessing for
al, and thrice blessed will be the under
taking that is dated from the altar.
Don't neglect your communion.
The War Litany is said in the church
every third Sunday morning, the proper
intercessions being inserted in the Lit
any service, and the booklets contain
ing tha War Intercessions are distrib-
uted for use from time to time. The
men st the frept tave g right to the
united prayers Of the folks at home.
and we must not neglect this privilege
and duty.
TYRANNY VERSUS LIBERTY
Soon the German Nation will offer to
its people the ninth issue of its Tyranny
Loan. The United States offers the
Fourth LIBERTY Loan TO Americans
this month. Thus both nations will be
tested at the same time and the Ameri-
can dollar will compete with the Ger
man mark. hut this gove rnmeat plans
the greatest loan Of history. 1t is ex-
pected to be greater than Germany's
eighth loan and a billion dollars more
than Great Rritain's Victory Loan of
Ave billion. which ia the largest yet
floated in any country. So stupendous
an undertaking as the Fourth Liberty
Loan requires the most careful planning
on the part of every American, of
whatever age or condition of bank-roll.
The time to meet the call of the Fourth
Liberty Loan is N0N, ana ths way to
asaet it Is by preparing program of
Saving. The Germans are busy right
now ON their loan. Are you preparing
for your?
