Praise His Holy Name for this priv
ilege. We have clear evidence that
to worship the Lord on this res
direction day is harmonously pleas
ing to the Lord, because of His
early disciples, assembling on the
first day of the week. Jesus Him
self stood in the midst of them and
pronounced: Peace be unto you,' -
and after eight days again Tor the
next Lords Day. the disciples
were within. Jesus again appear
ed and pronounced the same bless
ings. All in all, the Lord blessed
these first meetings on the first
day of the week, and no seventh
dayist can deny this fact. (See
John 20:19-26) Whether this offer
still holds good or not, we pity
such teachers, who are undoubt-
edly honest but conscientiously
deceived, and greatly misinter-
prets the truth of the Bible. May
we distinguish between such tea
chers and their sermons. Granting
that the heart is better, than the
head, he would perhaps be amazed
at the erroneous doctrine, and
doubtless be the first to abhor and
renounce it in the dust of repent
ance, could the scales drop from
the eyes, for which we indeed hope
and pray.

not only the return of money lent
to 1t but its repayment with inter-
est at any time it is needed.
1t is easy for you TO figure out
how much you should lend to the
Fifth War Loan. If it should fail,
the war would stop on the eve of
glorious triumph. Our enemies
would take a new lease on life.
Our armed forces abroad would be
unable to fight, or even to come
home.
Our liberties would crumble.
With them would go your freedom,
your earnings, your capital. Your
loss would be 100 per cent of your
present assets; with heavy indem-
mites on your future. Your chill
dren would have no future at all.
So your losses would be-say
1000 per cent. Any part of that
will be getting off cheap.
The Fifth War Loan is not really
a loan to the government. 1t is a
loan to yourself. 1t is your chance
to go forth to the battle field and
flight by his side" 1t is golden
opportunity TO Invest in Victory.
Make it your business to attend
to this business without delay.

Invest in Victory!
Buying War Bonds now is really
borrowing security. II is Lending
to the Loan. You can combine the
patriot with the promotoE Your
gift is thrift.
The world is on fire; and your
home and you life and your busi-
ness would all go up in smoke if it
weren't for Uncle Sam, the Fire
man. Making this so-caned loan
is as if you handed your loose
change to the fireman who fights
the blazes to save your home, and
climbs a ladder to save your life;
and as if you added:
Il expect this money back, my
good man, with interest. Also,
may call on you at any time to
pay it ALL"
In ancient times and in tyran-
nies, when rulers went to war they
simply seized whatever they could
find without mercy or promise of
return. Where the citizens have
had some rights, they have been
implored to pay war taxes and
make war loans for their own
sakes and the nations.
In our own wars our people have
been besought to lend enough to
enable their government to save
them.
Back in 1890, the colony of Mas
sachusetts found itself without
funds to pay off the soldiers who
had taken part in the expedition
against Quebec. The taxes were in
arrears. There were no banks and
no borrowable money. So the col
ony printed paper money and call
ed it bills of credit to be of equal
value with money" This was four
years before the Bank of England
was established for the same pur-
pose. And it was the beginning of
paper money with all its sad his
tory in all our early wars. In our
Washington said it
took a wagOnload of money to buy
a wagonload of vegetables.
The first Revolutionary Loan was
rather fantastic. In 1775, following
the outbreak at Lexington, there
was so little powder that when the
new Commander-in-Chief, George
Washington. learned of the dearth,
he almost tainted. So the Conti- I
mental Congress, with only imagin-
airy authority. desperately issued
paper notes which were not for
mally legalized till over a year
later-if then.
In financing our Revolution our
women did what they could, mainly
by sacrifice and management. But
in 1850. the ladies of Philadelphia
raised the then enormous sum OF
