 The Liberty loan is primarily to obtain money and finance, the war savings teach nation to invest saw ings in order that the government may have and spend the money, for sup port or the army. The thrift stamps draw per cent. interest compounded quarterly, payable in 1923. They are not subject to taxes, federal, state or local, need not be recorded upon as- sessors' blanks and are the best secur- ities in these troublous times.
 If you have bought S8 war savings stamps at $4,5a each, and one thrift stamp at 25 cents, you have com plete1y equipped one solder Twenty five dollars sn thrift stamps make one government bond.
 At the close of her address, Mrs. Chase read General Bordeaux S speech at the funeral of the first American soldiers to fall on the French front. and added that, if as Americans we might stand by the graves of these young men, who died for our ideals, we would never feel sat isfied unless we had done something to support their brothers in-arms.

 : Gen. William A. Aiken and Mrs Charming Huntington remarked on these resolutions, which were unani- mously adapted.
 It is to be distinctly understood that this new procedure does not mean an end of the association by any means. but simply a cessation of the usual monthly activities, until times of peace shall warrant 8 return to the customary routine, which has been so much enjoyed by every member of the association.

 Following the model garden discus sion, Miss Louise B. Meeeh spoke briefly on the Liberty Loan. Everyone is determined to do all he or she can to heln the situation. The govern ment says that food is ammunition, and bonds helps feed and equip our fighting men. If anybody thinks he cannot afford to buy bond. To all such, the administration says, the only way we can win the war is to do what some people say can't be done,
 No loyal Amerlean, on reading the latest casualty list of AT American soldiers, dead or wounded. doing their duty in France. can fail to realize how imperative it is, that we all must stand by cur government, and keep on buying bonds which mean protec- tion and aid for the men who are fighting for us "over there"
 Miss Meech concluded her talk by reading g poem, Take The Loan, written in 1861 by Edmond Everett Hale, when, at the beginning of the Civil War. the people were urged to invest in government bonds, What was true in 1861 is true in 1918 Pa triotism that counts, is the patriotism that does. not count cost.
 Mrs Albert H. Chase next gave an interesting talk on Thrift Stamps. The Liberty Loan campaign and the War Savings movements are no more risks than the super er-dreadnoughts and destroyefs. Both are authorized by congress-parts of the same financial system, intended to supplement each

SENIOR BIBLE CLASS
 MEETS AT Y. M. c. A.
General Secretary Hill Leads Diseus- I. sion on The Spirit of Sacrifice.

On Tuesday evening the regular session. of the Senior Bible class was held at the '. M c, A. Tine subject of discussion was The Spirit of Saeri- foe, the scripture used being Romans 12: 1-11. %1
 The following thoughts were brought out:
 That the present condition of the world calls for real sacrifice en the part of every individual That while the men who so to the front sacrifice a great deal, there are those at home who in q sense sacrifice fully as much -the mothers, for instance.
 The spirit of sacrifice has splendid effect upon those who manifest it.: they become bigger and hTeader men.
 Paul urges us to dedicate OUT bodies to the service of God, and this means to sacrifice to the limit for those about us. Every member of the body must be brought under the con- trel of the Holy Spirit if we would be the man God expects us to be. It is easier to live for Christ than to die for Him.
 There is nothing more reasonable than the service of Jesus Christ, and the surprise is that so many refuse to serve Him.
 It is not enough to simply avoid evil, but we should ahhor and hate it.
 The man who is not siothful in business, but who Is fervent in spirit and serves the Lord, cannot fail either in temporal or spiritual things.
 The attendance at the class was larger than usual, The general see- retary led the discussion.
