THE BADGE OF HONOR.

There come times in the history of the
American Red Cross when everything
is out go-that is, lavish expenditure Of
funds is made for the relief of distress
of MANY kinds such as hunger, loss Of
homes. replacement of clothing and
household effects and working imple-
ments lost through fire, flood. hurricane
and the like.
could not he continued indefinitely IN
less there were periods of replacement
of funds; times when the Red Cross
treasury is reflled ter being emptied
for the relief of the distressed, in order
that it may meet the next demand-a
demand that may come without a mo-
ment's warning in any of the American
possessions or in any part of the world,
for the heart of the Red Cross is as
bjg as the world and its helping hand
stretches far and withholds not.
One of these times of replenishing the
Red Cross treasury is with US of St.
Croix right now. The 1926 Roll is now
being called and it behooves every one of
rs to do our little part, to say to the
Red Cross I'VE are here again to do our
bit in order that you may do your great
work of relief when the next great emer-
oency arises. For it stands to reason
that preparedness is the keynote of Red
Cross activity. 1t cannot wait to gather
no resources after the emergency has
arisen. 1t must be ready beforehand to
spend with generous hand the resources
already in the treasury.
So. now, let US respond quickly to the
nresent call of the Roll and let US with
hold not our little mite or our more liber-
al contribution, both of which are so ne.
cessarv to the continued work of the
great mother Of the World.
The Red Cross button is a badge of
honor. Be proud to wear it.

LARGE AUDIENCE

s'Seven new recruits came forward
for membership last night at the
Christian church revival, besides
which a number were baptized at the
close of the service" Rev. Tolbert
F. Weaver announces. Evangelist A.
Ted Goodwin spoke on the subject,
from Malachi 3:5 "Will a Man Rob
God?Y The speaker said in part:
"To make big steal of earthly
goods is bad enough, but to steal
from God is the most henious of
sins. Man can't, these days, get
away with any sort of robbery, for
whatever is done in secret will be
brought to light, the day of judg-
ment will see full justice meted out" "
said the evangelist, and he illus
trated minutely how it is impossible
for man to get away from his sin
or crime.
Man commonly robs God in the
following ways" said the evangelist;
"by robbing God from worship, by
robbing Him of money and wealth.
by robbng Him of money and
wealth, by robbing Him of recogni-
tion and glory due Him." Here the
speaker deplored the fact that often
church people would enter in a great
parade with banners and uniforms for
a fraternal order or lodge and could
not be induced to give God such
glory. He remarked that "many peo-
pie invested all their spare time
practically for all kinds of man made
institutions and gave only the leav-
ings to the church. This is not
right" said the evangelist, "for the
Bible says, Whatsoever you do in
word or deed do all in the name Of
the Lord Jesus.
The evangelist did not attack lodges
and fraternal orders but emphasized
that great wrong is done by Chris
tian people sometimes placing these
things before the Kingdom of God
and giving only the leavings of time
and money to advance the cause of
Christ. He then mentioned the sin
of robbing God of service that is due
Him.
The evangelist closed his sermon
to the large audience with stirring
exhortation to render unto God the
things that are Gods His subject

the story of the dissension that

seems that they believed that John
was being favored to their disad-
vantage. They noticed that during
the conferenceh he always sat at
the right of the Master which in
those days was the place of honor.
They were very much disturbed, and
after discussing this matter among
themselves decided to present their
case to Jesus. They approached him
and said, Lord, who is the greatest
among us?' He answered them by
saying, in effect, Let him who would
be the greatest among you be the

years, said that no one could live in
Cochise county for the length of

wanting to get back. In speaking
of the inspection service, he said that
it employed 535 men who are re-
