Partnership

Every citizen of the United
States is a member of the firm,
a partner of Uncle Sam. No
one has been given the right to
withdraw from the partnership
simply because the war is over,
and no one will seek to with
draw. The duties of partner
ship were checrfully assumed
during the war; the shoulder
to. shoulder attitude of all class
as and sects made combined
action the power that it was,
and won the war.
Good times are on the way.
The heavy government ex-
penditures-the expenditures of
the firm-are daily decreasing
and the necessity for the huge
quantities of war supplies that
each day of the war brought
about has stopped as suddenly
as it began.
1t is true that for many
months the war costs will still
run high. The bills maturing
for supplies already used, be-
side those contract for, the con-
tinuing costs of building ships
planned and under course of
construction and the mainen
ance of the army and navy
mean that the governments
war bills are not all paid. In
fact the government has been
anticipating the Victory Liber,
ty Loan for several months by
borrowing from the banks to
pay current maturing bills. By
the time the loan is received il
will virtually all have been ex-
pended, so there is no argument
necessary in regard TO the ur'
gency of the need.
But the bills now being paid
are in large part those made
during the conflict :. "lasi

of the war has meant increased
prosperity for the United States
and the firm. Great Britain

p. m.
a good many of us are church
members. a good many of us
are not. In either case we take
for granted that we are intelli-
gent, refined, or at least sincere
i'll being what we are.
Yet not , per cent. of us have
really won our religion for our
selves. We are what others
have made us. None of us can
plead our responsibility, or our
decency as virtues in the sight
of God. a virtue is something
which has been won by person
of his or her own accord. De-
cency and responsibility we may
have Inherited. We are cntitl-
ed to no reward for anything
but maintaining and keeping up
appearances. We have won
nothing.
After all, then, large ma
jority of people, church members
and non-church members alike,
really have no religion but that
of Keeping up appearances, and
very often, sad TO say, there is
more real courage shown by
more deep sincerely witnessed
in the non-church member.
Sometimes, though, the latter
does not feel under the obliga-
ton to keep up appearances,
and SO he or she can afford to be
more sincere, more true to self,
more honest with others.
ALI, if we, all of us, only rec
ogni1ed the living facts of real
religion we would all see imme-
diately that we were members
one OF another, and that, after
all is said and done, the artiii-
cial distinctions established BY
men along religious lines are not
real, not vital, but superficial
and fancied! a real church
member is the man or woman
who knows and does what is
right To the best of their light,
WHO believe in God and in Jesus
Christ, and makes that belief n
matter Of deep conviction opera
tive in life.
Look some of these artificial
church members in the eye
Look at some of these pretended
non-church members straight
forwardly. Then you will sool
learn to know the really good
the really worthless in boil
classes, and YOU may call God t,
witness that you have at las
abandoned all obviously falls,
and futile ways Of Judging PEG
pie according to their purely
outward behavior and prctcn
tions. God is no respector o.
persons, but He knows where you
stand.
