TO AID NATIONAL
THRIFT CAMPAIGN
Pastors Asked to Have Special Sermons
Next Sunday to Cooperate with
Treasury Department.

Next Sunday will be Thrift Sunday.
Throughout New England and the rest
of the country churches in every de-
nomination will cooperate with the
savings division of the treasury de-
partment in further perpetrating the
lessons of sane saving, wise spending
and safe investment 9 Thrift will be
the text of pastors. June 20 is set aside
to aid the National Thrift campaign.
A message from Secretary Glass Of
the treasury department, setting forth
the reasons why the government is
fostering the spirit of thrift as per
manent American characteristic, will be
received by the congregations and read
from the pulpits.
In a letter to the pastors of all de-
nominations, Harold Braddock, national
director of the savings division, states
the need of assistance in this great
movement for peace-time patriotism. 1t
reads in part:

press upon the members of the organi-
cations connected with your church the
desirabilitv of careful saving for some
worthy object. 1t would seem that, in
the organizations which are DESTROYS
for saving for this purpose, it would
be to their interest to be enrolled as
government savings societies. The saw.
ings and thrift stamp securities offered
by the government are so safe and SC
accessible to the investor of such small
amounts that we feel that they should
be we'll adapted to the needs of any
church organization. We also feel that
if the members of these organizations
