The Churches are Beginning to

From the beginning Christianity has
called Itself religion for all races and
all countries. but. to business men ac-
eustomed to big things IN the business
world the missionary efforts Of the
church have seemed very feeble Even
now missionary collections in the United
States 90 not average soc per member
a year With such small snm the
church has been able TO send out an al
together inadequate number of mis-
slonarles and these have bad TO do
their work with very poor buildings
and other equipment In fact, the
missionary work of the average church
is SO small that X IL usually turned
over to the women and children. and
the men of the church take little or
ne interest in It. Missionary work is
attracting little or no attention here at
home ana making very little impress

something worth while. or quit If

Two More German Helmets
To Be Given Away.

w. S. Daniel, County Director of
Publicity for the Victory Liberty
Loan Campaign. announces that there
will be two more German officer he'll
NETS given away during the campaign.
To the bond salesman that sells the great
est number of people will be given one,
and the salesman that sells the largest
amount of bonds in dollars will be Civ
en- one.
These helmets. together with very
handsome uniforms, were carefully
stored in the Rhine cities, all ready to
be dispatched on short notice to the
German army at the front the moment
they would be needed for the triumphal
march into Paris. 1t was the plan of
the Germans to discard their battle
worn uniforms and helmets at the
gates of Paris and enter the French
capital resplendent in new uniforms
and these gorgeous helmets. They
had planned a great triumphant entry
into the city as lords of creation, but
something got in their way and the
party was never pulled off. What got
in their way was the AMERICAN
doughboy.
These helmets instead of adjoining
the heads of parading Germans are
now being offered as souvenirs to the
American people. Shouldn' I We un-
hesitatingly buy these VICTORY
Bonds when we think of such wonder
