Buy Bonds Now—
Allied forces are on the verge of launch
ing decisive offensive actions in the war.
Great numbers of men, and vast amounts
of equipment must be transported over
great distances and must be supplied with
^yhat it takes to win.
The Fourth War Loan campaign begin
ning tomorrow is to finance those opera-
tions.
All of us want victory, early victory, and
there is something each of us can do to
bring a )Out early and complete victory
with a minimum loss of lif e.
Those who have money, those who are
earning money, can certainly help to fi
nance the war.
The troops in the battle zones who
bravely face the enemy and give their
lives for the cause of freedom and righte
ousness can’t understand why people have
to be begged and persuaded to buy War
Bonds. There certainly is no risk attach
ed. The bonds are just as good as the
money, and better, because the bonds have
guaranteed interest and money not put to
work is like buried talents.
In Addition to helping to bring about vic
tory, the bond buyer is helping himself.
And it helps him in more ways than one.
It provides for future security and pre
vents inflation. Inflation is the enemy of
all, so when you put your money into bonds
you are warding off inflation—keeping
the wolf from your own doorstep.
People of Wilkes are asked to buy $843,-
000 in bonds between now and March 1.
The large investors can’t make the quota,
but about a quarter of a million must be
from small purchasei's. Every person who
can buy a bond from $18.76 up is called on
during this campaign to help finance the
war, prevent inflation and provide future
security through savings.
V
A Crusade—
The Methodist denomination has taken
the lead in promoting a crusade for a new
world order.
In simple language, a lasting peace
based on the principles of Christianity is
sought following the present global con
flict.
The crusade was started by bishops and
other leaders of the Methodist church and
the entire Methodist denomination is per
meated with the idea that a lasting peace
mart follow this war.
in order that the public may be ac
quainted with '/hat the crusade seeks, we
publish as follows the ‘Six Pillars of Peace’
as set forth in the churchs aims:
’ 1. The peace must provide the politi
cal framework for a continuing collabora
tion of the United Nations and, in due
course, of neutral and enemy nations.
2 . The peace must make provision for
bringing within the scope of international
agreement those economic and financial
acts of national governments which have
widespread international repercussions.
5. The peace must make provision for
an organization to adapt the treaty struc
ture of the world to changing underlying
cohditions.
4. The peace must proclaim the goal of
autonomy for subject peoples, and it must
international organization to as-
suze and to supervise the realization of
ttat end.
6. The peace must establish in principle,
and seek to, achieve in practice, the right of
ividuals everywhere to religious and
iiltectual liberty.

wounded at an advance base.
With the consent of the commanding
medical officer, but unknown to anyone
else, this marine, while at the front in the
South Pacific, pretended serious illness
■Two days later he was in a hospital on the
edge of Henderson Field, Guadalcanal. A
tag on his shirt marked him as a severe
case of septic ulcer. He received no special
treatment. He was handled exactly as
other evacuees were handled In the plane
ambulances out Of the combat arei^.
He was loaded onto a transport plane
with seventeen other sufferers and within
a few hours was installed in a fully equip*
ped base hospital with a staff of 400, each
physician selected for preeminence in his
field. After revealing his identity, this
inquisitive marine received permission, to
stay a while and observe. In his own words,
he saw “ a number of delicate- surgical
operations, a wide variety of fracture
treatments. Life-sized X-rays were taken,
teeth extracted, dental plates made. A
group of specialists prescribed and fitted
glasses. Physical therapy experts restor
ed the use of injured nerves and muscles”.
He also saw intensive treatment given to
serious bums and skin infections, as well
as skin and bone grafts. When he was
through, he realized that centuries of med
ical learning and research have been con
centrated in one vast, amazingly efficient
effort to prevent the loss of American lives
unnecessarily in this war through lack of
medical attention.

before we had thought much
about Santa Claus' annual visit,
the postoffice department was
saying to get Christmas cards
mailed by Decenuber 10, along
with all other domestic holiday
mailing. , ^
Now to us, Deoember 10 usual
ly means the first dhte to think
about Christmas and. casually
think of getting some Christmas
cards "In a week or two”. But
to us procrastinators It was un-
belleTsble that .the cards should
be mailed by then.
Now here in the middle of Jan
uary people are urged to get Val
entine cards In the mail.
Next thing you know it will bo
too late to send Elester greetings,
and we expect the fourth of July
to be moving up to the first of
May. Wouldn’t surprise us most
any day to see some kind of dead
line about mailing for next
Christmas, and .ads will be saying
there are only so many shopping
days before Christmas.
But there is one thing you can
count on being as usual. Nine-
tenths of the people will file their
income taxes at the last pilaute
before March 16.
SINNING AND SUFFERING
When men sin they suffer. It always
goes together. God has said in His Holy
Word: ‘‘Be sure your sins will find you
out”. (Num, 32:23). We see people in the
hospital whose sin has found them out.
They have violated the laws of God and
nature until it has brought on disease, suf
fering and death. Many are in the insane
asylum whose sin has found them out.
Their sinful indulgences have wrecked
their mental faculties. Many are upon beds
of affliction in their homes, while others
are suffering, as prisoners and criminals,
whose sin has found them out. There is
loss of peace, joy and happiness all over
the earth; loss of health, friends, money,
houses and lands, and loss of jobs and posi
tions, all because the sins of men have
found them out.
Multitudes of people carry a guilty,
lashing, gnawing, tormenting conscience
as they go through life, and suffer mental
ly. physically, morally, financially and
spiritually because their sins find them out.
In other words, the sins of their hearts,
souls and lives cause their sufferings. It is
sad; it is deplorable: ‘‘Fools make a mock
at sin.” Prov. 19:9. Instead of repent
ing of their sins that they may be forgiven,
and have favor with God and His rich
blessings upon their souls and lives, they
mock at siq and wickednes.s, toen go on
carrying their miserable burdens, plodding
their way hellward.
We see drunkards sinning and suffer
ing; gamblers sinning and suffering; liars
sinning asd suffering; rogues, thieves and
rascals sinning and suffering; dishonest
men sinning and suffering; adulterers and
adultresses sinning and suffering; pro
fane men and women, boys and girls, and
swearers and blasphemers sinning and suf
fering. We see gossipers and tattlers,
talebearers and those who spread evil re
ports, sinning and suffering. We also see
pleasure-seekers, evil, worldly people sin
ning and suffering. Fathers and mofiiers,
husbands and wives, also sweethearts, go
along life's pathway sinning and suffeitog.
People leave God out of their lives and
^omes, and go’ tiurqugh the world
ing, suffering, suffe^g as a coi^qatedo;
0 sinner, tuni'to Gqdt Quit a£&ing and
suffering. Realize th at your greatest suf
fering will be in eternity unless you tuim ^
Jesus.. Why not come to Him now?
