St. Matthew 20:28. Christianity is more than just a philosophy ? it is a way of life. Unless as Christians we are ready and willing to live as it teaches us to live, to act as it teaches us to act, to follow so far as it is in our power the example of its Founder, unless we are prepared urselves Christians, going occasion- to do these things, then calling o ally to church, acknowledging our beliefs, is without meaning and without purpose. I ? Hon. Walter Nash, New Zealand Minister to Washington. Bond Buying To Invasion Tempo THE new U. S. Treasury Payroll Savings Cam * paign has begun and is already rolling up re sults. The appeal conies to every earner on a pay roll to "Step up Payroll Savings To Invasion Tem po", and every citizen is having brought home to him that his money is needed to hasten victory. The faster supplies pour over to our fighters, the sooner will the whole horrible tragedy be over. Every day it is becoming more apparent that not only is there need of maximum production with a unity of effort, but that events are happening to show how everything depends upon what individ uals and groups do from day to day. To cite a few instances: Coal miners striking under leader shipr'of certain individuals is holding up production of steel. Enor mous losses of manpower and machinery are rolling up. This brings comfort to the enemy who is preT pared to slaughter our troops when the invasion of Europe begins. Race rioting instigated by certain leaders in De troit and other places has caused demoralization and death where peace and united effort are vital to the large war industries thus delayed. This news right now is good news to our enemies. In Washington, the government is trying to stem the tide of inflation which would immeasur edably cripple this nation's home economy. When there is more money to spend than things to buy, inflation is here unless means are used to arrest it. Inflation in America would help the Axis in Europe. That there are sinister forces working behind the outbreak of strikes and riots, there can be little doubt. There are always selfish and disloyal forces within seeking to defeat the purposes of a nation fighting for its life. This is part of the war at home. This is the battle we art fighting, Buying bonds is the great service that every private in the civilian ranks can render. Many peo ple have more money through big wages than they ever had. Your country asks you tojend this money to help win the war rathier than buy scarce arti cles and thus incr ease the menace of inflation. This is one simple, understandable and supreme contribution that the average citizen with a steady paycheck can make so that our men can finish the job of this war and come home. Payroll savings are now $400,000,000 a month. $200,000,000 more payroll savings a month is need ed and available. What will you do about it? Your country asks you in this campaign to "Figure it out for yourself." Vacations, But Different \17HILE the people are being asked not to travel ** unnecessarily, and the gas Shortage limits range of places of vacations, still there is no sug gestion that everybody does not need a vacation. The Christian Science Monitor, published in Boston, Mass., has these wise and encouraging words to say on the subject which apply as well to 'our readers "Vacations are just as important today as ever ? perhaps more important. Busy war workers need respite from the drive of their jobs. Everyone is stepping 4long at double-quick time, whatever his work, and a pause for normal rest and recreation is the sensible thing. "People went on vacations before the days of to go without a car? or even a train. It take* & little the automobile.

But no one need feel discouraged. It's quite possible that Americans may make new discoveries in their own home territory. They may find staying-put an enjoyable novelty. "Some have already spent their vacations Vic tory Gardening in the backyard, and found the new experience not unpleasant. There are mountain trails for some of those who hike and who have mountains at hand, and bicycle tours for those who are for tunate enough to have a wheel. Fun isn't something at the end of the rainbow. Vacations aren't mileage contests, and this year offers just as many oppor tunities for enjoyment as ever. They're just different ? that's- all". ' Rev. L. R. Akers of China Grove, who is conducting a series of spe cial services for young people each evening at 8 o'clock, June 20 to through 27, at the Methodist church. Home Letters Should Be Cheerful, Says Weimar Jones of ,OWI The Office of War Information in Raleigh offers these pointers for hanvefolks writing to soldiers, sailors, and marines ? based on sug gestions gathered in a survey among servicemen at home and overseas.

FATHER Too oft^n he has gone unglorified: The Father of the family who stays Hard at his tasks? a counselor and guide. Taken too much for granted through the days; Bearing too many burden 5 all alone, And sacrificing much that he may give Pleasure and joy to those he calls his own, 1 Longing for safety for them while" they liv,e. He asks so very litfle in return, Expects so little, and goes on his way ? And yet at times I think that he must yearn For* more appreciation. Why not say Some loving word to make his great -heart glad ? Tell him how much that you ap preciate His constant care, s^nd say: "I love you, Dad ? " Oh, say it now, before it is too late!
