Railroads and Public Must Work
Together to Meet War S Demands
By FAIRFAX HARRISON Chairman Of Railroads War Board

During the coming months American railroads
will face the greatest transportation problem in their
history. The war demands have increased the rail-
roads burden virtually overnight by millions OF tons
of freight. Some conception of this may be CLEANED
from, the fact that the additional service demanded
this year is equivalent to carrying l2oooooooooo tons
Of freight mile Moreover, frankly, the railroads
will have to handle it with inadequate facilities cars
locomotives, terminals, all the other equipment track

VIII mark a crisis i'm the great world
conflict. And very much depends up
on the manner in which we, the citi-
zens of the United States, observe the
day If we will enter into the exer-
cises of the day with a spirit of rev.
erence, will humble ourselves before
the God Of nations, and in the name
of Jesus call on Him for help. we
may expect help. But if we remain
Indifferent and careless, and regard
the day simply as one Of rest from Ia
Dor to be spent in selfish pleasuring
rather than in devotion and worship,
the purpose for which the day has
been proclaimed will be frustrated.
God will be Knocked thereby and we
Will treasure up for ourselves wrath
In the day of wrath and righteous
judgment of God"
God must not be triiied with. He is
sovereign. His will is regnant. His
purpose in indefeasible. And he the
great God has made Jesus the cruel
fed, both Lord and Christ. He has
delivered all things into the hands of
Jesus, and has given him plenary
power not only in heaven, but also on
earth. Moreover he himself, God, has
sworn, the word has gone forth from
MS mouth in righteousness, and shall
not return, that unto Jesus every knee
shall bow and every tongue Shall
confess. And what God has thus de-
creed will be. Nothing on earth or
under the earth, no power of man or
demon, can prevent it, Jesus is Lord.
he must be acknowledged as Lord,
and he will be sooner or later. Even
his enemies will yet bow before him
Jesus is today the great world figure.
and he must be recokoned with both
by potentates and people And
therefore it behooves us, the creatures
OF God, now in the day of grace to
acquiesce in Gods decree, to confess
Jesus as Lord, and to implore the for
giVeness Of our sins both national and
individual. If we do this we may ex-
pect the God of righteousness to
heed our cry and to fight our battles
for us.
Kiss the Son lest he be angry,
And ye perish in the way,
For his wrath will soon be kindled."

Mrs E. w. Dabbs. county chairman
of Welfare Work reported that she
had sent out fifty letters asking as
many ladies from the county to meet
with her on Saturday to more def

tion according to school districts i'm
stead of townships.
Mrs. Horace Hardy, chairman of

Mrs. S. A. Harvin, rural chairman,
gave reports from several townships

great as to prevent their coming to-
gether often. She reports much in
terest throughout the couny in Red
