Only the one reason was given several, times that “ she felt she was saved because she always asked Jesus to help her when she was in trouble and that showed she loved Him. “ Then if you were down town and needed to know what street car to take and asked a big policeman to help you, would that be a sign of your love and relationship to him?” gently asked the worker. “ Why, no,” was the answer with a faint laugh, and now the way was open to present Jesus as the One who died for her, Who rose again, Who lives to intercede and is coming again in the glory, and it was a joy to see thé new expression of peace and comfort replace that of dissatisfaction and unrest. IT MAY BE YOUR DODLAR! Every man, woman and child in the. United States has war work to do. The duty of those at home is to provide the wherewith to fight, for those who have gone, or are going, to France. There is a firing line for the stay-at- homes and that is in the War Savings army. Thrift will win the war, for by it, ammunition may be purchased, by means of the money saved and loaned to the Government. If you are not on the firing line of your district, seek and take your place at once. The hoarded dollar is a slacker dollar. The ill-spent dollar is a slacker dollar.
