A Natura1-Born Salesman.

Postman Richter. the present leader.
is, according to attaches of the post
Office, a natural-born war savings
stamp salesman. Richter's mail route
is a small but most fertile one. He
has both sides of New York avenue be-
tween, I4th and 18th streets. In this
block he has two good sized office
buildings-the Evans building and the
National Savings and Trust Company
building. He cannot count upon the
Bond building. as it is now a govern
ment proposition.
Despite the fact that his designation
number is '13." Richter is positive that
he will win the s1o0 prize in this contest.
AS he puts it. he already has the Cen
fury" in his vest pocket. He had hardly
made half a dozen calls yesterday before
a business man in the Evans building
purchased $200 worth of the savings
stamps. and at noon a clerk in the Ma

Soldiers have found that wrist
watches cut queer antics. One man tried
several and found that they all stopped
shortly after placing them on his wrist.
He took watches from comrades and
these also stopped, though keeping per-

watches run fast on one arm and slow
on another. No explanation has as yet
been offered.

NEXT GREAT DRIVE BEGINS
JUNE II AND CONTINUES
II DAYS

The sale of Thrift Stamps and War
Savings Stamps has been going stead
lily on for several months, but, on
June Id a great drive is to begin in
this movement. South Carolina, il
seems, is behind all the States in the
matter of the sale of stamps. This is
not the usual place that South Caro-
lima occupies, and. if it is true now. it
will not be so for long, we feel sure.
All over the county the drive should
go on, and should gather momentum.
We feel like saying to the small in
vestor: "This is your time. You may
not have bought a $4,000 Liberty
Bond; that looked big, too big to han
die. But you can invest Csc at a time
in Thrift Stamp, and when you get
enough of these you can then convert
them into War Savings Stamp. Go
right on buying stamps Get ready
for the big drive and then buy more
than ever.

feel it now! If the strong, upstand-
ing men of earth ever stood straight,
they should plant their feet anew and
stand as they never stood before. If
prophet and seer ever dreamed
dreams and saw visions, this day
should witness the very f1ood-tide if
revelation. If the man of foresight.
Judgment and reason ever had a mes
sage for humanity, this is the day
and hour when his lips should be un-
sealed and his words should come
with the hiss and crack of a whip.
If virtue, truth, mercy and love are as
sets of the human heart, this is a
day in which they should adorn the
life. Only fools and knaves can stand
by today and say: "What shall we
eat? What shall we drink? Let us
have music and dancing" This is a
great day, very great day, for the
whole earth has come to Judgment.
All the tribes of the earth are upon
the brink of a new creation, a. Gre
alton that will reign for centuries. We
are at the open door that leads to
green fields and to gardens overflow
ing with beautiful flowers or door
that opens out upon dreary, sun
parched desert. We stand before
door that leads to a beautiful palace
or grim prison. Which shall it be?
We are finding God or we are being
bound more firmly by the devil. When
this war is over we are going to enter
upon devout worship or discard it al
together; men will be more unselfish
than they have ever been or they will
sink to lower depths of greed and in
justice. Children born into the world
now are coming into the fullness of
a day that no children heretofore ever
experienced or they are coming into
one in which the lowering clouds
darken the whole heavens. Which?
1t all depends upon whether our ma
tion more fully finds God or loses Him
altogether. Without God, materialism
reigns, and in a world of materialism
there is no hope for humanity. Ma
terialism can and will build up
mighty machine, and it may have the
semblance of civilization, but it has
no soul. 1t will grind to powder, it
will wiring blood from human hearts;
it will give us world whose despotic
ruler is selfishness and whose end is
destruction, for the essence of all sin
Is selfishness, and sin when full
grown, brings forth death.

NEVER AGAIN THE SAME

A man, having gone through any
one of the many deeper experiences of
life, emerges from it a changed man.
He is never just the same. He will
be stronger, better man, or, he will
be weaker, poorer one. Having
looked into the issues of life and death
his soul is either expanded or con-
tracted by the experience. Every
crisis leaves it's mark upon a mans
character. If there comes some great
sorrow into his life the result will be
an expansion or contraction of his
soul. 1t will lead him into broader
sympathy with his fellows or into a
more complete selfshness. Reverses
in business, the Illustration of cher
ished plans, sudden and marked
changes in environments leave a man
marked for better or for worse. but
never the same. He will soon develop
into a better or worse man. Hav-
ing had the deep waters stirred pro-
foundly the subsiding will not reach
the exact level that marked them be-
fore hand. 1t is fact that mature
men laugh less than young men, and
this is because the deep experiences
of life have left wrinkles in the soul.
A man, having thoughtfully examined
a human skeleton can not thereafter
glory in the mere beauty of the flesh.
for he must needs see the hidden
ghastliness as we'll as the attractive
covering.
AS it is with individuals so it is
with nations. A great crisis in a ma
tion's life will leave it's mark. The
frey trial will leave pure gold or a
heap of dross. We can not emerge
from the present great war and find
ourselves just where we were in the
beginning of it. We must come out
with clearer vision or with eyes that
see not so well as they did: wn will bo
in possession of an exnanded soul or
Of contracted one. Our own nation
must find its heart or lose even the
capacity to feel, for the experience is
so GREAT, so complete, so thorough.
and so radical that the results are GER
tain to be tremendous. Out Of the
world-wreck we are going to come
forth spiritualized or completely ma
terialized; our people are going to
find God or lose Him more completely:
brotherly love, fellowship and right
eousness are going to be exalted or
they are going to be submerged deem
er than ever under an ocean of selfish
ness and greed. If this be true, it is
crucial time. IF the preachers ever
felt the call to preach, they should
