LABOR MUST
CONSECRATE ITSELF
TO GREAT TASK
A Labor Day Message From
w. B. Wilson, Secretary
Of Labor
MANY RECORDS
HAVE BEEN BROKEN
The Glory Of 1t All Is Labor
Has Vizualized Needs Of
Armies And People

This Labor Day finds America at the
greatest crisis in history. The ma
ton is engaged in the greatest war the
world has ever seen. and upon the re-
suits OF this war viii depend the fate
of humanity for centuries.
We have sent a great army abroad
to cooperate with the armies OF our
allies. Our navy is clearing the seas
OF the German submarines. Our men
in blue and khaki have won glory by
many heroic deeds: they have helped
10 infiict upon the foe crushing de-
feat which. we hope. may prove the
turning point of the war.
But whether it does prove such de-
ponds as much upon those who remain
al home as upon those who go abroad
to fight We have no fears for our
soldiers In France. provided we can
keep them we'll fed. well clothed and
properly equipped; they have already
shown themselves more than the equal
OF the Kaisers best troops.
Upon this day. of all days. we must
sconsider seriously the problem before
us az home We must maintain our
armies i'm the field at the top-notch
lighting strength, and We must supply
the needs of our allies and the stary-
ing people OF Belgium.
This is day or which Labor must
consecrate itself to great task-the
task OF winning the war. For this
tremendous duty halfway measures
will not suffice. There must be abso-
lutte loyalty and devotion TO the ma
tons cause-these, / believe, our peo-
pie have already shown beyond a ques-
ton But more than this, there must
be a clear understanding of the great
crafty IT,
Maximum production is the goal for
which we must strive. With every
workman giving his utmost strength
and will power, we shall attain It..
The task win not be easy. nor the eff
fort small; but we have no choice. To
save all that we hold dear. we must
work work. work for the boys in
France and the allies One phrase
sums 1t up: Work as you would
fight
The coal miners are doing that.
They have produced the greatest
amount of$oal in history, despite the
heavy loss of men through enlistment.
Many records have been broken in
shipbuilding. Great industrial plants
are producing material for the army
at unprecedented speed The Nash
vile powder plant, the greatest in the
world. was completed three months
ahead OF time
One workman made record by
driving 4S75 rivets in one day Only
a short time afterward. the mark was
passed by another who drove 5000.
Now we are told that a workman has
driven 5000 rivets in one day. Such
deeds as these show the spirit that an
imates our people and have served as
examples to stimulate the whole great
body OF Americans TO nobler tasks.
The glory OF it all is that labor has
visualized the needs of our armies and
our peoples and its own relation to
those necessities Labor accepts that
responsibility enthusiastically. loyal
ly With our splendid army on the
battle field of Europe. reinforced by an
efficient industrial army in America.

CANNING-BY ALL MEANS

1t is the policy of the Food Admin
istration to encourage home canning
with out the use of sugar whenever
possible but canning, by all means!
The largely increased foreign de-
mands just made upon our sugar sup
ply do not give US the amount for
this purpose that we had anticipated;
but under any circumstances sugar
used in preserving goes further than
in any other form for bodily require
ments.

DRAFT BOARD DOCTORS
DENIED WAR SERVICE

DIR. Walton H. Hopkins, who has
made application for military service
overseas. will probably be denied this
service because the government de-
sives ohold all physicians who are
serving with the draft boards upon
that important duty. DR.. Hopkins
some weeks ago made application for
service, but has so far not received
his detail. However, he was on Satur.
day notified that in all cases where
physicians were serving with the local
draft boards their services in that
capacity are considered of such inn.
portance that the government will no,
remove them for other work.

center of the world is where we
happen to be; but the center
moves when we move, which
proves that it wasn't any true cen
ter, after all. Something like that
can and does happen in the
THOUGHT WORLD, and I think
you and a few other honest and
well-meaning people have been
taken in by it. If you could de-
tatch yourself from yourself and
stand off far enough in time to
get a proper perspective you
would see how impossible your
claims are.
The fiddler stack in whose
shadow weare standing looks big,
while the mountain fifty miles
away looks small. The death of a
cow in our own barn lot is a more
tragic event to us than the death
of a Senat Dr. in Washington. It is
all a matter of perspective. Aheap
bigger things than you and | have
happened all along down the line
of time, and the reason they don't
look big to us is because we are
far from them. You and | look big
and important to ourselves be-
cause we are NEAR OUR.
SELVES. But to the people of an
other land or another age we
wouldn't be a fly-speck."

Now What Can a Feller Do?

Well, folks, how are you all
getting along by this time? | am
still alive and kicking, but some
thing is always bobbing up to
interfere with my plans AS most
of you know, | have been hoping
and planning to give you a weekly
Good News, and | was expecting
to start the weekly not later than
some time in September.
But now what do you reckon?
Uncle Sam comes along now and
tells me that | mist go and reg
is ter and stand the examination
for army service. So you see If |
should have to 60 to the army
right away, there would be no
use to start the weekly paper. It
places me In q rather uncertain
position, and / don't know what
to do. Of course | might fail to
pass the physical examination, or
| might get an exemption on ac-
count of my invalid wife's condl-
ton. But until these things are
settled I can't be absolutely GER
tain about starting the weekly.
So it looks like we will just
have to hammer along like we
have been doing for awhile yet.
| am sorry things have turned out
this way, but it can't be helped.
I will do the very best | can just
as long as / can, and that's all
anybody ought to expect of me.
Another reason Why it seems
impossible to start the weekly
now is the fact that the govern
ment IS now going to require al
publishers to reduce their con.
sumption of paper IS per cent

HOW DOES TT STRIKE You,

If you think this dope I am Civ
ing is something new that T
have just gotten hold of and
thought it would do for a sensa-
ton, you are badly mistaken.
1t may be sensational to some
folks, but it isn't new at all. It in
as old as the Bible, and the fact
that you didn't know it was in
there amt my fault.
Millions Of people have believed
these things for a long time, and
millions more are beginning to be-
lleve them these days. It is no
new revelation to me, but has
been gradually unfolding before
ny eyes for several years. | have
been just on the verge of launch
ing this campaign two or three
lines before, but decided the time
was not quite ripe for it.
Especially since the Great War
started | have been convinced that
We were in the closing scenes Of
This age, and [ have not felt salts

mouth has watered" more than
once to say the things that I am
aow saying, and at last they are
said. That is, some Of them are
said. There is plenty more to say.
This is a mighty big subject, and
IS the hurrying stream Of events
rushes on it will get bigger.
Now, Mister, if you believe it Or
lon't believe it, I want the priv
llege Of talking to your head
about a quarters worth, anyhow.
By that time you will either de-
tide that I am a fool or that you
are one, and maybe both Of us
will learn something.
Now come! Get up a big club
and send it in. And if you think
that way about it you can tell all

Now, dear readers and friends.
this is a personal letter to you. ]
want you to regard it as just a.
personal and just as important as
if I had written it direct on my
typewriter and mailed it to you in
a sealed envelope under a three
cent stamp.
What do you think Of the line
of talk / am giving you this timei
Ii you believe my New Message
contains something that the peopl
ought to read and think about
then | want you to appoint your
self as a missionary to help spread
it among your friends. Tote this
issue around in your pocket and
read it to people you meet and
ask them what they think about
it. You will find more people
thinking along these lines thar
you might suppose. And if you
happen to strike a few who have
not yet begun to think on these
things, this paper will wake them
up and put them to thinking.
The whole human race today il
aware of the fact that this old
earth is passing through a great
crisis, and that SOMETHING OF
f~ar-reaching. consequence to the
people must be the result. The
human mind is in a questioning
attitude, wondering if this really
is the end, and the old cut-and
dried conceptions Of what is going
to happen in the wind-np are be
ing changed rapidly.
Hence the time is ripe for this
New Message, and l want you te
help me spread it into every nook
and corner Of this broad land. Il
is going to take a great deal Of
money to run this thing under
present conditions. Print paper
costs about twice what it former
ly did, and some kind of war ta1

/ SEE TO HIM, sEZ /.

1t seems CnaC | am always get
ting into arguments. Well, maybe
that s what { am here for, Any
way, | like it very well. | now
find myself locking horns with a
good friend over some statements
in a book he has written. The
book is called The Candlestick,
and | want to testify that in the
main it is a mighty fine book and
a mighty true book. 1t undertakes
to prove some of the very same
Bible truths that Good News is
hammering away on, and it looks
to me like the job is we'll done.
But in my opinion the writer
made one bad bust. He claims to
believe that he and his book were
definitely foretold in prophecy.
He puts himself up as a parsonage
big enough to have been seen by
the prophets away back yondel
three or four thousand. years ago.
To my mind that throws a damp
err over the whole thing. 1t spoils
the good impression that the book
would otherwise have made.
Somehow it sounds boastful and
egotistical to me. | have told the
author in a personal letter just
how | feel about it, andit JUS oc.
Cured to me that a part Of the
letter I wrote to him might be oil
interest to others. So l am print.
ing it here:
THE only criticism I have tt
make on The Candlestick is the
one l have already made-name
ly, in regard to the places in The
book where you claim for it tha'
it was f >retold in prophecy, ant
that the writing and publishing
of it was a direct fulfllment Of
prophecy. AS | see it. that is claim
lug a little too much. A Thousand
other writer's might make TIN
same claim for their books, AM
with just as good reason, and the!
would all be wrong. In fact doz
ems Of writer's have made sucl
claims and I believe them all to b
laboring under a delusion. Tn
fact that Jesus Christ locates
Himself in prophecy and boldl,
pointed out the places that refer
red to Him, is no reason you an.
[ can do the same. He was in Their
to point out, but you and | ar
not. He was a God, but you and
are poor weak mortals just lik
countless millions of others. ] al
