Why Go To Church?
"The churches keep alive the sense
of the greatness of humanity. If I did
not go to church for anything else I
should go for this. The sermon might
be stupid; then I should not listen to
it. The prayers might not suit me;
then I should pass them by. The mu
sic might grate on my ear; I should
try not to hear it. One would be
there greater than the temple; great-1
er than its liturgy, its prayers, its
priests, its ritual—my brother, Man,
bowed before my Father, God.”

Greater food crops aud the practice

Houston as measures to help reduce the
cost of living. American families, be
estimated, wasted in their kitchens an
nually more than $700,000,000 worth
of edibles. There was nothing In the
situation to Justify hysteria, however,
he said, because there was no real
shortage of food in this country.

Enlist Your Dollars
In the War
In this time of our country’s crisis an idle dollar is
as much a “slacker” as an idle man. Are your dol
lars doing their duty?
The Liberty Loan of 1917” invites the immediate
response of the American people. Every dollar sub
scribed will help make it a success. The quicker the
better.
Armies of dollars are an absolute necessity for
national defence. Unless the dollars at home
stand back of them, the soldiers in the field can
not do their utmost to protect our households
and our freedom.
