original plan: but the board obliged to de-

impaired the efficiency of the building. They

CAPTAIN TELLS WHY

Captain Squires. Professor Mill
tary Science at Bethel College. Rus
sellville, Ky, in poem has toll
why he believes that he as well q.
other Baptists should have par
in the Baptist as Million Campaign
Especially does he feel that the
pledges should be signed. One OF
the things about the campaign the
! Baptists are now launching is the
fact that 1t is enlisting all people
everywhere. We are glad to quote
part of his poem:
i've been a member of the church
nigh on to forty year
And have always done my duty as IL
did to me appear;
I have tried to be a Christian like I
wanted folks to know,
That | followed in His footsteps
just where He'd have me to go.
But today I got to thinkin'-when
discussin' that campaign
Somethin' up an hit me sudden like
i saw things mighty plain;
For compared with other kinds of
Things felt guilty when
thought
What I'd laid on religion was lot
less than | ought.
i've been ev'ry thing but preach
I'm a Baptist thru and thru
And without the church, ah. breth-
rem,
! don't know what I'd do;
| have gotten all the benellts-it is
there I've sung and prayed
But considerin' all these blessin's.
what a little ! have paid.
Tive been wrong-that' sure as
shootin' but | saw my duty
plain.
Twas like bein re-converted when
| boosted that campain,
l had the money in the bank-and
there's thousands more like me
Who've been stingy bout religion
| reckon thoughtlessly.
But | signed that paper, brother,
and ! made them fggers shine
For somethin' sort o told me all
that money wasn't mine;
didn't want to have it said that all
| did was save,
so | fin'ly paid it in lump--to the
Lord His share | gave.
Let's do our duty, Baptists. and
Wen make our church worth
while,
And give it chance to do its work |
in regular Christian style;
Let us set a higher standard by put !
tin it on its feet
Let's go over the top a singin' and |
make that job complete"

RULINGS
ON REINSTATEMENT

A series of decisions issued by
the Director of the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance with the approval
of the Secretary of the Treasury
provides more liberal conditions for
reinstatement of lapsed or Cancelled
insurance.
The provisions of Treasury Deci-
sion No. AZ, allowing eighteen
months from the date of discharge
for reinstatement upon payment of
only two mont premiums on the
amount OF insurance tC be renstat
ed are retained. That decision is
liberalized, however, by a new pro-
vision that men out of the service
are permitted to reinstate by mere
ly paying the two months premi-
ums without making a statement
as to health at any time within
three calendar months following
the month of discharge.
the date of discharge have elapsed,
a statement from the applicant to
the effect that he is in as good
health as at the date of discharge
or at the expiration of the grace
will be required together with a
period, whichever is the later date,
written application for reinstate-
ment and the tender of two months
premiums on the amount of insur-
ance he wishes to reinstate.
In order to give all former SER
vice men whose insurance has
lapsed or been Cancelled, a fair
chance to reinstate their insurance,
including men who have been out
of the service eighteen months or
more, and who are therefore barr
ed from reinstatement under the
former ruling, a special blanket
ruling is made which allows all eX-
service men to reinstate their in
surance before December 81, 1914.
provided that each applicant is i'm
charge or at expiration of the grace
period, whichever is the later date, >
and SO states in his application. OF
course il is necessary that he ten
der the two months premiums on
the amount of instance he wishes
to reinstate.
Service men who reinstated their ,
insurance by payment of all back !
premiums prior to July 25, 1919, (
when the decision requiring pay
ment of only two months premiums
went into effect. upon written appli-
cation to the Bureau may have any
premiums paid in excess of two ap-
piled toward the payment of future
premiums. For example, if after IA
policy had lapsed for six months, "A

no official reason has been given
out for the President s refusal to

to be because Of the Iattcr's i'm
