ual needs of the people the less court
cases, inmates of jails and crime.
And this means lower taxes, less bur-
den and more prosperous people.
Every dollar invested in a church in
Liberal is a we'll invested dollar and
will yield rich returns to the citi-
zens of the town.
The Church offers service to all the
people.
Everybody is not welcome at the
theatre, the hotel, the lodge or the
clubs. Even saloon would not well
come Methodist preacher. But the
church welcomes everybody. 1t is
the one building that is dedicated for
the service of the whole people. 1t
looks after people from birth to bur-
ial. The babies are on its cradle roll.
The children are trained for citizen
ship tomorrow. The young people
are given wholesome social life. Ma
ture men and women burdened with
care and strife find comfort and the
upward look Aged ones are helped
in the eventide. And the last tribute
to life is offered by the ministry of
the church. A modern church helps
the nedy, comforts the Borrowing,
trains the young, provides fellowship,
moulds character and keeps high
ideals burning in the breasts of all.
These things are worth while as civ
ilization itself. And dollars invested
in such institutions are the best in

the church life that are very valuable
to society. Among these we may
consider the educational uplift, the
delightful social life, the forming OF
proper standards of living, scriptural
I teaching, music, all of which are i'm
mensely valuable. And these by
products alone would justify every
, dollar that is invested in the church
Ii is an Investment in Life
And after all this is the big invest
ment. The world has been engaged
in destruction for four years, but no
one will doubt but what the conser-
walton of life is the bigger thing.
Liberty, liberty for all the world for
which our boys have been fighting
is nothing more than the saving of
the millions to larger life. This ma
ton feels that it has we'll invested
billions in this task. But the greatest
investment in life is to ground it on
the Sermon on the mount and put
into it the spirit of calvary for SER
vice. In short to Jesus Christ to men.
This enters into the deep resources
of life and gives steadines to the will
fortifies thought and directs the pur-
poses of life to high and holy ends.
This really saves men to bring all
that is high and worth while in all the
realms of his life. And this is the
major business of the church. If
this is not worth your support then
civilization itself is not worth while.
We urge you to invest your money
in such institutions knowing that in
so doing it will be a rich investment
for your own life, for your family,
for your community and for your ma
ton. Look at the pictures of the pro-
posed building in one of the down
town show windows. Circulate the
value of such a building in our
midst doing its work for hundred
years in the lives of men. And then
give not as charity but as an invest
ment to this enterprise.
Next week we want to make final
announcement about the financial
rally and the services to be held.
Read again the articles that have ap-
peared the last two weeks. Be ready
to have a part in this great work for
the kingdom of Christ here in Liberal.

THE NEW METHODIST CHURCH
(By Rev. A. M. Wilkinson


Last week we tried to show how
the new church can be built. We
ask you to think with us now of the
value of such an institution. Some
people seem to thing that money CIV
en- to a church is like dropping a
nickle in the hat of the blind man as
you pass by. They never figure that
a church is an institution that pays
big dividends to the community. But
it is. And we doubt if any institu-
ton pays any bigger dividends for
the money invested.
The church is an economic force.
We study the question of taxes
and the cost of living. But what
causes high taxes. Well graft, dis
honesty murder, lawlessness, etc.
The next time you pay your taxes
turn the receipt over and see how
much you have paid to keep up the
court and police forces of the nation.
What will reduce this bill? Nothing
but new and better ideals and char
acter. The church is the institution
that produces better men and women.
1t is the most economical police force
service that is rendered in the state.
1t costs far less to keep men from
going astray than it does to bring
them back and compensate society
for the harm they have done. The
state policies a man outside and pays
for it out of the public treasury. The
Church puts a policeman inside a
man. And one inside is worth doz-
en- outside. The surest way to re-
duce taxes is to support the church
in making right kind of men. The
more modern church plants we have

FROM JAMES WRIGHT


Liberal, Kansas,
Dear Cousin

from you the other day. Mail is one
thing we boys here appreciate, es-
pecially from homefolks or kindred.
This is a great life over here. 1t
seems to agree with me for | am get
ting most too fat to breath. / am
having to work pretty hard however.
Am driving large five-ton Pierce
Arrow truck and it is no child's play
keeping control of such a large one.
Have not been sent up to the front
with load of rations yet, but expect
to go every day. Six miles is as
close as l have been yet. The noise
on the front is very plain from where
| am stationed.
This morning l am off in a town
that was once in the hands of the
Germans. 1t is some "shot up" town.
Everything is certainly torn up. |
am over here for a load of food. Am
sitting in the back of the truck now.
I wonder if it is getting cold in
Kansas yet. 1t is certainly cold over
here. My hands are so cold | can

Wish | could go to church service
again just to see how l would feel.
Haven't been inside Of church since
about the first of July. Can't tell
when Sunday comes over here unless
you just remember it is Sunday.
Guess | will be able to get load
in a moment so good bye for this
time. JAMES.

DARKEN GRAY HAIR,
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens
So Naturally that No
body can tell.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when II fades. turns gray, dull and
lifeless, Is caused by lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color. that beautiful
dark shade Of hair which is so at
tractive. use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition Of other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for a bottle OF "Wyeths Sage
and Sulphur Compound" which dark
ems the hair so naturally, so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell II has
been applied. You Just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with II and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound Is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, II also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives 1t
an appearance Of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound Is q delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and a youthful ap-
pearance to the hair. II Is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention OF disease.
