"Now that I have no interest ex cept a* a private citizen it .may have .some weight to express myself. A I'nited States sector just now is a very important individual.

"It is not merely a quest ion ot t te military defeat of Dermnny. We will <|o that certainly within the next *ew months. It. is the dawn of a new j world era: Russia, the Balkans and the Orient are in a seething ferment and stable government must be established there before a lasting peace can collie. "By common consent of mankind everywhere, the nations have adopted \V oiid row Wilson as their mouth piece and spokesman. "Before it is all over we may have the I'nited States of the world: at any ,-ate the world cannot get along now without Woodrow Wilson. He may have to accept a third term. "He must certilihly be placed in some dominant position where he can still utter the thought of Christendom. It would be a shame and disgrace- to send ? man to the senate who. bad bitterly attacked Mr. WW son personally and who was utterly unable to appreciate Ins wonderful breadth of vision until an unholy desire for otlice caused the scales to fall from his eyes. ??Surround Kx-Ciovernor Blease with the projection afforded b> senatoiia privileges and be can and will do a vast amount of harm.

In this particular movement every Baptist is under obligation to do his best to make tliis. effort a great suc cess. To make the task as easy as possible ami In order not even to seem to be in conflict with the Government in its sale of Liberty Bunds and War Stamps, they are going to accept Liberty Bonds and War Stamps for cash, and will make all notes payable in Liberty Bonds and War Stamps. These bonds will not be put on the market during the war. By; this method a man can ?*rve a double purpose with bis money. If ho puts a hundred dollars in Liberty Bonds. H will he worth a hundred dollars to his Gov ernment and if he gives this bond to the schools it will he worth a hundred dollars to them! Hence, the one hun dred dollars will do two hundred dollars worth i ? f work !
