There are, doubt, a great many people who
would like subscribe to the Third Liberty Loan for
larger than their present available cash just
fes and who would borrow money from abank
for that purpose. The Equitable (THE STRONGEST

in this situation and presents plan similar in most re-
spects to that is in general use in England and
which met with general approval in this country when
announced here by the Equitable 1t is in entire accord
with the policy of procuring wide distribution of Lib
erty Bonds and encouraging individuals everywhere to
pledge their savings to meet the cost of the war.
Under this plan subscriber pays approximately
10 per cent of his subscription in cash and to
the amount every six months until 10 nstaments
have been paid. The Equitable Immediately buys from
the Government Liberty Bond and holds it for delivery
to the subscriber when it is paid for in full If the sub
scriber dies while the contract is in force the Equt-
able Immediately delivers the bond fully paid to his
widow or beneficiary, and IN ADDITION pays to the
widow beneficiary nearly the entire amount of the in
salmens that have been paid in Ito be eXactthe amount
returned will be the full amount paid with interest at
the rate allowed by the Government, less the
amounts applied to pay for the life insurance carred).
The insurance carried adds so little to the total
cost that unless the subscriber Al years of age
the total amount actually paid in by him during the
ive-year term will amount to LESS than the face value
of the bond. In other words the ACQUIRING interest up
the bond will more than pay the insurance premiums

NO PLACE IN AMERICA
FOB R0-GERMANS

At the closing session Of the New
Jersey Methodist Episcopal Confer
ence held at Atlantic City recently,
Bishop Henderson, of Detroit, sug-
gested series of patriotic meetings
throughout the churches Of the land
TO strengthen the morals of our peo-
pie who have not yet awakened
to the fact that we are in the war,
or have any conception Of what it
means"
'Tf we weaken in this fight, we
are licked now, and we deserve it,"
'The month of May is to be a
month Of universal patriotic serv-
ices and revival meetings of pa
triotism throughout the United
States"
"Tell the people," said Bishop
Henderson in continuing his adj
dress, "why we are in the war, and
what the duty of each one is. 1t is
a tragedy that the Christian
churches have been so slow to real
ize the possibilities of this war
There is a demand for Christian
leadership outside of the canton
ments"
Bishop Henderson called atten-
ton to the many duties that church
members have to perform in addi-
ton to the work of the chaplains
and others at the environments, and
he suggested that it is the duty OF
every one to get Immediately in
touch with the War Council should
anybody of pro-German tendencies
be found in his community. And then
he added:
"Let us locate, eliminate and
exterminate every pro-German in
this country"
Bishop Henderson rightly stated
the case. We have not seen it put
better by anyone. 1t is worth re-
peating:
'Let us locate, eliminate and ex-
terminate every pro-Geman in this
country"
That is the teaching which should
go forth throughout this land.
Pro- Germanism is pro- Hellism. Pro-
Germanism is direct cooperation
with the forces that are numbering
our men and will murder hundreds
of thousands and perhaps millions
before we are through with this
task; and every pro-German
thought, or word, or deed, put
forth in this country is in direct
cooperation with these murderers
of our loved ones.
Bishop Henderson is also right in
saying that the failure of the Chris
tian churches of this land to realize
the possibilities of this war is in
itself a great tragedy. That has
been one of the most serious phases
of the war. Standing before the
most fearful immortality, the most
awful crimes which have ever dark
ened the pages of human history,
IA large proportion of the ministers
and of the religious papers of the
country held their peace and said
nothing. The time has come when,
in every church in our land, there
should be patriotic services to
awaken the country. Many church
es need to be more thoroughly
aroused to the real meaning and
the magnitude of this war, for
among some of them there is still
to much apathy on the subject, due
to lack Of knowledge of what the
war is and what it means.-Manu-
facturers Record.
