THEN HE SAT- DOWN

A visitor to the village school said
to the children: II want to tell you
of boy l once knew. He had good
father and mother, and they did all
in their power to make him happy.
But the boy was thoughtless and
selfish; he frittered away his time
and never thought of the future.
Today, instead of filling an honor
able and useful position in life,
where do you suppose he stands,
children, as a MANI" HE stands
before u.s." shouted the boys and
girls in unison.

THE OATH

Bv Kenneth Graham Duffield. in tht Memphis Comercial-Appeal. I will not drink from a German cup,
 Or eat from a German plate; l will not deal with a German man,
 All foul with German hate. I'll use no drug with German name, That's grown on German land. I'll eat no food and drink no beer
 If made by a German hand. I will not use a German tool
 Razor or knife or saw. will not trade with a German shop
 That lives by German law. l will not sail on German ship,
 Where German songs are sung; l will not breathe, where Gods clean al
 Is soiled by German tongue. I'll not forget those awful deeds
 To girls and little boys; No more I'll hang on Christmas trees,
 These bloodstained German toys. will not take Germans word
 He'll break it if he can. There is no love in German heart
 Or faith in German man. This is my oath: When war is done. % I'll swear to keep it true; And since I know you feel the same,
 I'll pass it on to you.

|DR. BYRNES TALKS
 ON THE SABBATH
Pastor Takes Up Sunday Moving Pic
 ture Question in His Regular Sermon Last Night

pr. Thomas P. Byrnes in his regu- lar Sunday evening sermon at the Strand theatre last night discussed the Sabbath and Sunday.
 Dr. Byrnes said in part:
 Jesus laid the foundation for broad, free, human Sabbath when he said that the Sabbath was made for man. not man for the Sabbath. So far as WIG can learn from the New Testament Jesus did not ratify the old Sabbath or establish new one. He let the matter take such turn as it might by the free choice of his followers after he had gone The modern world does not take seriously the Oldg Testament reason for the Sabbath-namely, that God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh. because we
 know now that the world was not cre- ated in six days.
 tThe evolutionary conception of cre- ation has extended the time of crea- tion to millions of years; in fact science finds that the job has not yet been completed Nor did God rest on that first seventh day, nor on any first or seventh day since, So far as We can see by the movements of nature God goes on with his. toll and labors witt his movements on Friday, Saturday and Sunday alike. The sun shines. the rain falls, the grass grows. the winds blow, the lightning flashes, the forces of nature and the eternal activities of God pay no attention to mans Sab baths and rest days. This fs only to l say that the Sabbath is human insti- I tuition, 10 be observed by man and hu | manity in such way as works to hl- l man welfare, and the greatest goot

DISLOYALTY WILL
 NOT BE TOLERATED
 ON POLICE FORCE
Chief Shirley Addresses Open Letter to Police Department in Refer ence to Unpatriotic
 Utterances

Disloyalty or anything that remotely approximates it will not be tolerated on the police force, it was made plain yes- terday in an open letter addressed to the police department by Chief of Police T.. J. Shirley The letter, which is self explana tory, follows:
 "Police Department. q am informed that some policemen have been talking against Liberty Bonds saying that money paid for them was used for luncheons and other expenses. For the benefit of all such misinformed persons, will say that not cent of money was spent for lunches or other expenses by the government in Liberty Loan drives Such expenses were paid out of fund contributed by the citi- zens of Birmingham.
 Ut is very improper at this time Tor any citizen or other person to make de- rogatory. remarks with reference to any movement by the government to win the war.
 Ut would be very embarrassing to us all if any officer were arraigned for unpatriotic talk at this time.
 (Signed) TT. J. SHIRLEY,
 "Chief of Police" " sP. S.-Any proof of violation of this order will be sufficient cause for dis missal from the service

At present, the weather has been a bit disagreeable but we are comfort ably billeted and we'll cared for. I re- ceived long letter from brother and one from mother some few days ago. They were of course, enjoyed very much I had just returned from my first trip in the trenches. It was my first and only experience so far. As you know, the greatest battle of the war is now on Some think it will be the turning point of the war. l hope so, at least But after the sights we have seen over here, one can't have a doubt long about being over here. It is a duty and every man who has a part in the downfall of the Kaiser will be proud O. it. Those who do not live to see it, will have loved ones who will be proud of their sons and brothers who fell to assist such a cause.
 q am sure feeling fine now. We have a noncommissioned officers club started, and I want to ask you to send us all the magazines you can get. I want papa to go to the editors of all newspapers and ask them to send us copies of their papers. Anything you

 Here are some Of the extracts from a letter received yesterday:
 q have only a little time tonight. but will write you a brief note to let you know that I have received the fruit cake It came March 26, and was in perfect condition. The waxed paper around the cake had not even been torn, despite the fact that the wooden box was splintered. l need not tell you that I enjoyed the cake im- mensely. 1 invited number of oth- CT officers in to help me eat it and without exception they alI stated that it was the best they had even eaten It was, beyond a doubt It was quie surprising to me that it could be so good after travelling around so long I was really glad that it had not come sooner, for it has been quite a treat to me and my friends after dln- ner for the past three days.
 q received last Saturday a box Of smokes from the people at the office. So you see that my patience is being rewarded, for during the past three weeks I have received many packages and letters long lost. All of them l think will eventually get back to me. I even received an Age-Herald yes terday, so as the good book says. My cup runneth over with joy for all things come to him who waits, or words to that effect

WORKERS TO KEEP UP DRIVE UNTIL CLOSING HOUR-SUB- SCRIBERS TO LOAN URGED TO MAKE INITIAL PAYMENT TO BANKS AT ONCE

Unusual activity will mark the clos ing week of the campaign for the Third Liberty Loan and all the working com mittees will redouble their effort to go over the $1O,0o0O00 mark set by the general committee for the Birmingham zone. There will be combing' of every section of the zone and an effort will be made to solicit every one residing in it's boundaries.
 The importance of those who have sub scribed for bonds so far. to immediately call at the bank and make the initial payments is emphasized by the several chairmen having the matter in charge, as any delay may mean loss and con fusion in determining the actual amount of bonds taken by the people of this district.
 Chairman F. M. Jackson states this is highly important and urges the pur- chasers of the bonds to lose no time in making the necessary arrangements with the several banks. He is much grati- fled at the outlook for successful week, having made a tour in many sections of the zone recently and reports a decided readiness of the people to aid the gov ernment in the purchase of Liberty bonds.
 Mrs. Solon Jacobs, chairman of the Women's State Liberty Loan committee, states that the women workers will keep up the drive to the very last moment and with renewed determinatics to break all records in the sale of bonds tnls week. Mrs. Jacobs has received the most encouraging reports from the county chairmen of the state committee and states that the outlook of the closing week is most promising.
 Harry W. Coffin, chairman of the Greater Birmingham committee, also wished to urge purchasers of bonds to make immediate arrangements with the barking institutions so that there will be no big rush during the last day or two of the campaign. He states that while his section of the zone has been well covered, there will be let up in the work until the final hour of the cam paign.
 Mrs. Crawford Johnson, chairman of the Women's Jefferson County commit tee, and Mrs. H. U. Sims, chairman of the Women'ss Greater Birmingham com mttees, state the workers will make this week one of unusual activity and that every effort will be made to pass the mark set for the zone by substantial amount.
