Heaven or Hell, Freedom or Slavery:
Which Do You Choose?
S (Reprinted from Manufacturers Rec
ord, Sept. 2s. 1879
Liberty bonds stand for freedom
and Heaven.
Germany stands for slavery and
hell.
Which will you have?
Germany is fighting to enslave
mankind and make of all the world
hell under German domination.
America and our Allies are fighting
TO save human freedom and make q
Heaven on earth.
The battle is on; We will have one
or the other.
To the extent that you back our
nation in every way in your power
and buy Liberty Bonds to the utmost
stretch of your ability you are work
ing for freedom and Heaven.
To the extent that you fail to do
your share you are helping Germany
in its effort to enslave mankind in
an earthly hell, ruled by the vilest
brutes that earth ever knew.
You cannot shirh your individual
responsibility without being traitor
to your country, a traitor to every SOL
Iier who has offered his life to save
you and yours, a traitor to outraged
womanhood, traitor to God and to
all mankind
No one else can do your duty.
L you knew that the Liberty Loan
would be oversubsccibed a hundred
fold, your duty to subscribe would be
juSt as great as though you knew the
needed amount would not be raised.
What others do does not relieve
you from your responsibility any
more than the religion Of your neigh
Dor relieves you from the respcnsi-
ssihty Of a religious life, nor any more
than the protection by a neighbor of
his family through life insurance re-
leases you from obligations to pro-
-tect your family in the same way.
In buying Liberty Bonds you are
helping to buy liberty for our country
and all mankind
IN buying Liberty Bonds you are
protecting your loved ones from the
Fearful crimes wreaked by savagery
upcu the women and children Of Bel
GUM and France.
In buying Liberty Bonds YOU are
standing by the millions Of our be-
loved boys who over in Europe are
being blinded and manned, and smur-
sdered in your defense and mine.
In buying Liberty Bonds you are
doing infinitely more than making
the world safe for democracy, for you
are helping to make the world safe
for your wife and your daughter and
your mother, and the millions Of 9th
er women whose honor would be gone
If once the German beast broke down
tsa barriers Of armies and navies
ub;cs. have stood between us and a
made NJ Germany hell, or made
In nelp' GeG af6IIn
IN buying Liberty FeQSs you a.s
making it possible for ciSSization II
beat back barbarism, for CnkSsSes@lty
to drive back atheism, for the civ1ilz-
ed nations to punish the nurderers'
the outragers, the manglers OF oaoles'
the highwaymen, the looters, the free
booters, the destroyers of temples.
the wreckers of cities, the bully OF
the world, the only people who glory
In war as a holy thing and preach
frightfulness as a duty.
These are some Of the things which
Liberty Bonds mean, and unless you
buy to the utmost of your power you
become a Stacker, and a Stacker,
whether financially or physically, is
cowerker with the men guilty of all
these beastly crimes.
Which do you choose?
Will you stand by America and its
soldiers?
Will you stand by our devoted Al
lies?
VIII you stand by outraged France
and Belgium and Italy and Serbia by
buying Liberty Bonds; or.
VIII you be false to all that is sacred
on earth, false to man and to Heaven?
There is only one true answer pos
sib,eI and deep down in your heart
ysu should make your answer before
Almighty God, and vow:
Il will buy Liberty Bonds to the
last dollar I can invest for world
sa AVIATION from German damnatloa.
