FOURTH ROLL
CALL AMERICAN
RED CROSS SOON

Beginning with Armistice Day, the
Fourth Red Cross Roll Call will con-
tinue until November 25th during
which time it is hoped that every men,
ber now on the list will renew and
that thousands more throughout the
United States will join the organiza-
tion which has never ceased its ser
vice to humanity since the close Of
the great war.
Since rehabilitation, the "Greatest
Neither in the World" has kept in
constant touch with the families of
100000 soldiers and sailors and ma
rines. This service has embraced al
mos everything from supplying first
aid to seeing a man through to bet
ter job. Besides this. the Red Cross
flCod, fire, tornado or other unavoi6-
able disaster in $50 stricken commun-
tiles. 1t has helped to feed and
clothe thousands of helpless children
ia Europe and other countries who
otherwise would have been without the
simple necessities of life.
The lCcal chapter has sustained a
home department which has succored
not only service men and their fam
: lilies but many others who were in neeC
of such attention as only the Red
Cross under trained workers knows
how to give.
7 Imperial county will not allow its
membership to shrink when there is
still such great need in the world.
Fifty per cent of the annual member
ship will be retained for use by the
home service department while the
balance will 90 into the general treas
ury to be used in case of disaster
elsewhere.
The executive board of the Imperial
Valley Chapter is organizing for the
Roll Call which will not open in this
county until November 14th. 1t asks
all to prepare to renew their member
ship when the committee calls, or il
NOT a member, join this year and con
tribute a mite to the organization
which never fails or falters when tn,
call comes.

The Pilgrim and Puritan God

*The first immigrants to New Eng
land were called Puritans because
they took the Pure Word of God,
found only in the Bible, for their edu-
ton and guidance in conduct of faith
and morals, also for their civil law.
They left old world Traditions in re-
llgion and government behind them,
because they are mostly or totally
pagan after the manner of Grecian
and Roman mythology, limitations and
substitutes for pagan worship.
They did not worship Mary, the
mother of Jesus, who is a substitute
for the Greek Minerva, the goddess
of the mind, also a substitute for the
Roman Venus, the goddess of Love,
nor Juno, the goddess of heaven. They
did not worship the Peter, Tor any of
the apostles, nor images of these men.
They did not even bring with them a
painting o image of Jesus of Nazar-
eth to adore and worship, because
they believed such a substitute for the
image of the Roman god, Jupiter, and
Greek god Zeus. They followed the
First Commandment, not to worship
images.
Their god was Jehovah, the spirit
ual God of the Jews, as found in the
Ten Commandments and the Mosaic
laws, which was their covenant. AS
the Jews fled from the tasks and per-
secutions of the Egyptians, left
their pagan traditions behind after
430 years of slavery, the Pilgrims and
Puritans took the pure word of Jeho-
yah as given to Moses and the proph-
cts and made a covenant like Jacob
and formed a new government which
has grown into these United States
patterned after the first republic
formed by the Children of Israel on
the moral code of the Ten Command
ments and the statutes, ordinances
and judgments found in the pentateuch,
the first five books of the Bible.
When the people, lawyer and judges
get a full knowledge of these books
and leave off the pagan traditions of
Greece and Rome, both in law and
religion, the government of Democ-
racy will be secure, as found by the
Pilgrims and Puritans.
We hope this will give our readers
a faint idea of the God the Pilgrims
w%orshipped and came across the ocean
at the approach of a cold New Eng
land winter for freedom. AS bold a
venture as the sons of Abraham made
when they left Egyptian slavery be-

=Americanization

These facts about principles and
policies of the Pilgrims are published
to instruct our readers on American
ization. The principles, religious and
political, a people should know to
govern themselves. Those who are
not competent to govern themselves
need a king or a pope.
Americanization is the great prob
lem today, not only to inform new
corners, but many whose parents came
generations ago have little knowledge
of why they came and what we should
know today to maintain a democracy.
The religious liberties for which the
Pilgrims and Puritans left England to
enjoy and the political liberties for
which our forefathers fought in 1776-
SO, were granted the people in Eng
land many years ago. Hence King
George V commends them. Today
King George v is the royal figure
head of Great Britain. Lloyd George
is the mental director of the Empire
voted by Parliament elected by the
people.

world" .
One reason for this may be found
in the statement written by Robinson
and Brewster to Sir Edwin Sandys:
at is with US as with other men
whom small things can discourage or
small discontentments cause to wish
themselves at home"
The Pilgrims made important con-
tributions to modern life. Their ad-
vanced ideas of democracy helped not
only this country but influenced Eng
land and Europe. Their social and
economic legislation has served as a
valuable basis for the legislation of all
time. Their principles of community
life and service were far in advance
of anything that eve most modern
teachers have advocated. They ap-
piled the Bible to the common facts
of life in a most practical fashion,
making the Book more real and vital
to the everyday man.
But undoubtedly their best work
was done in the field of religious lib
erty and in their insistence that every
man stands before God as an indi-
vidual, with all the rights and privi-
leges of any other believer in the
world-no matter what his ecclesi-
astical or political position.

Failing prices On hogs, wheat, corn
and cotton is b~ankrupting thousands
of farmers in the South and West.
Twenty-Five State banks have failed
in the Dakotas within the past ten
weeks, most of them since the election,
when the farmers expected better
prices and markets.
They don't know that Wall Street
controls the present Congress and fur
nished the inspiration to fight Wilson
ism and bring contraction to make the
dollar high and prices of production
low.
Senator E. S. Johnson, of South
Dakota, has written President Wilson
for relief to his constituents. He re-
piled:
"Your message refers to unsatisfac-
tory conditions resulting from the fall
of prices. | regret to find legislation
has not provided me with powers
which would be serviceable in the
matter"
The President appealed to the people
in 1918 to elect a friendly Congress, but
they did not do &c. An unfriendly
Congress has done all possible to
hamstring and discredit the admin
istration. Write your Congressman
what is the matter.
Another Populistic political storm
similar to 1926 is brewing in the
West. Watch for it in the election of
1922.

Gossip From Trenton

The Republican sweep which went
over New Jersey in common with
many other States at the recent gen.
eral election has resulted in the pro-
viding of an interesting personnel in
the House of Assembly which will be
organized for 1921 session of the
Legislature. There will be fifty-nine
Republicans in the House and one
lone Democrat. Among the former
will be DIR. Walter G.. Alexander, a
colored physician, of Essex, two
women from the same county. Mrs.
Jennie C. Van Ness and Mrs. Margaret
B. Laird and two ministers, the Rev.
Warren Patten Coon, also of Essex,
and the Rev. A. Lincoln Moore, of
Hunterdon. Also there will be an
other unsual feature about the make
up of the Assembly, it will include
twelve Republicans from Hudson
County. The lone Democrat is Harry
Runyon, at present the Mayor of Belvi-
dere, Warren County. In the Repub-
lican landslide Warren was the only
county to keep it's Democratic faith
and elect a Legislative delegation OF
that political persuasion.

Plymouth Rock, 1920

By George Edward Woodbury.
'Blest Rock of our foundation! thou hast
been
The holy text of freedom; the whole
land
Hath heard thee speak; henceforth
thou shalt stand,
A tower of sacrifice on all sides seem
A monument of what the soul may
mean
In humble men, obeying heavens
command;
Freedom to worship God was all they
planned
Nor knew DER thee that Eagle hung
serene
Blind Milton saw ~mewing her mighty
youth
Who suns her pinions now mid
Shast's SHOWS;
She scars and bathes in ray of dawn
ing truth,
And in the gateways of earth's
morning glowsr
Her mighty breast absorbs the wild
worlds war,
Nor tempest swerve her flight, nor
oceans bar.

President Wilson'S Last Message

President Woodrow Wilson, whose
term will expire next March 4th, sent
his last message to Congress last
Tuesday. 1t was brief. 1t began
with a eulogy on democracy and a
plea for the United States to be the
world leadership and use the national
influence to spread it over the world,
as this nation is the final test of the
peolpe to govern themselves.
He urges economy in government,
a budget, a reduction of war taxes and
freedom for the Philippines.
Because of his feebleness in body,
but not in mind, he did not appear be-
fore Congress and deliver his message
as has been his custom.

THE LANDING OFTHE PILGRIMS
December 20, 1920

The breaking waves dash'd high
On a stern and rock-bound coast;
And the woods, against the stormy sky
Their giant branches toss'd;
And the heavy night hung dark,
The hills and water DER,
When a band of eXiles moor'd theil
bark
On the wild New England shore.
Not as the conquerer comes,
They, the t~rue-hearted, came
Not with the roll of the stirring drums
And the trumpet that sings OF
fame
Not as the flying come,
In silence, and in fear
They shook the depths of the deserts
gloom
With their hymns of lofty cheer.
Amidst the storm they sang,
Till the stars heard and the sea;
And the sounding aisles of the dim
woods rang
To the anthem of the free.
The ocean-eagle soar'd
From his nest, by the white waves
foam,
And the rocking pines of the forest
roard-
This was their welcome home.
There were men with hoary hair
Amidst that pilgrim band;
Why had they come to wlther there,
Away from their childhood's land?
There was woman's fearless eye,
Lit by her deep loves truth;
There was manhood's brow serenely
high,
And the fiery heart of youth.
What sought they thus afar?
Bright jewels of the mine?
The wealth of seas, the spoils OF
war;
No-'twas a faiths pure shrine!
Ay, call it holy ground
The soil where first they trod!
They have left unstained what there
they found
Freedom to worship God!*
