London, Sept. 21. The greatest war
budget in the world's history was in
troduced in. the House of Commons
today by Reginald McKenna, Chancel
lor of the Exchequer, as another step
toward financing the war, which U

with even in the comparatively re
cent estimates of David Lloyd Georga,
the munition minister, necessitating
in this budget the third since the out
break of hostilities, : the most drastic
and far reaching taxes in the history
of the country, and involving evaii
free trade. I
Hereafter automobiles, bicycles,
moving picture films, clocks, watches,
musical instruments, plate glass and
hats will pay a tax of 33 1-3 per cent
ad valorem, though, as Mr. McKenna
explained, the objects of such taxa
tion are "purely temporary and with
out regard to a permanent effect on
trade," being primarily designed to
discourage imports and remedy the
foreign exchange situation. j
Spirits and beer which have been
the "subject, of so much "agitation re
mained untouched by the new sched
ule. The principal blow fejljon in
comes, the existing tax on incomes
not only being jumped forty per cent
but its scope widened so as to catch
even -workmen earning as little as V 4
weekly. The very wealthy must con
tribute to the government more than
one-third of their revenue. The one

; The rate on telegram' M;-'.
is twelve cents for twelve words is in
creased, to eighteen cents, and there
is also to be a proportionate increase

The sugar . tax, .though largely in
creased, will mean only an extra pen
ny per pound burden for the j general
public, for the sale of all sugar is now
regulated by the royal commission,
which will reduce the price to' refiners
and dealers. . - W
General debate on the budget is yet
to be held, but it was apparent that
Mr. McKenna's suggestions were re

he would have occasion to call on the

SECOND BAPTIST REVIVAL)
GROWING IN INTEREST DAILY
AND
MUCH GOOD IS BEING
ACCOMPLISHED.
The revival meetings being held in
the Second Baptist church are growing
in interest and attendance.
The following is a synopsis of Mon
day J evening's sermon by Rev. Mr.
Wheeler:
Text Ps. 142 : 4, 'Jo Man Cared of my
Soul." Because of the lack of inter
est manifested in him the Psalmist
during the perplexities and trials of
his life cried out of the anguish of his
soul "No man cared for my soul", or
as the unoriginal reference has it "No
Man Sought After my soul." Have not
the j lost soulsc 'about us the right to
feel as David did? Have we as chris
tians shown any concern whatsoever
about the lost condition of men? Do
we care for the souls of the lost? Do
we seek to find the lost and bring them
to Jesus. At the" judgment bar of God
I expect to hear those who are banish
ed from the presence of God cry o-.it
"No man cared for my soul." Our
soul staggers within us as we observe
the indifference and unconcernedness
of the christian church in the dying
souls of men.
Sinner here tonight, you may feel
that those who profess allegiance to
Christ have no interest in you, and
you may have Just cause for such a
feeling,' But listen, I know there are
some who are interested in your
SOUlS. '. ;; " '
God the Father is interested, for He
is calling you to repentance. Ezk.
33; 11: j"I have no pleasure in the death
of j the: wicked, but that the wicked
turn from his wicked way and live.
Turn ye; turn ye, from your evil way,
for why will ye die?"
Jesus Christ the Son of God is con
cerned about your souls. He is calling
you to turn from sin unto Himself.
Matt 11:28: "Come unto Me all ye that,
labor and are heavy laden and I will
give you rest. 111s aeatn on tn?
cross is the greatest manifestation of
His interest.
The ' Holy Spirit is interested. Rev.
22:17: "The Spirit says come." He
called about'three thousand at Pente
cost, and has been calling men ever
since. He calls you tonight. He is
interested in your soul.
The redeemed church is interested.
The visible church a a whole may not
be, but the church that has been pur
chased by the blood of Christ the
conquering triumphant church which
will one day sweep into glory is in
terested in your soul, and thus calls
on you to come to Jesus. Rev. 22:1::
"And! the bride says come," and the
bride is the living church of God.
The lost in hell are interested it.
your souls. The rich man, when hi
found that no comfort could be given
him asked that a messenger be sent
from I heaven' to warn his brethren to
flee the wrath to come. If your father
is in hell tonight, he's interested. If
mother is in hell, she's interested. If
son, daughter, brother, sister, they ara
interested.
! The redeemed in. heaven are int?r-
ested. Jesus said there isjoy in the
presence of the angels of God over one
sinner that repenteth. If the redeem
ed in heaven rejoice when our soul
turns to God and salvation, then sure
ly, they are interested in your soul
If father is there he is interested. If
mother, she is interested. Brother,
sister, son, daughter, they are inter
ested.
Will you not hear these voices call
ing you to salvation tonight, and turn
to Christ and live? The Father, the
Son, the Spirit, the Bride, the redeemed
church, the lost in hell, and the re
deemed .in heaven are interested .a
yourBouls. Will you come to Christ
and salvation?
Several .responded to the invitation
and gave themselves to Christ.
. Last night Mr. Wheeler preached
from Amos 4 : 12 : ' "Prepare to meet
Thy God." r
He first gave proofs for the exist
ence 'ot a God. .Then he told the peo
pie that this God was a great God, a
Holy Godr and a God of love. Njxt
he said all must meet this God. And
also that it is a greater thing to meet
this God than it is to meet anything
that comes to us in this life. Then
he asked the . question, Are you ready
to 'meet- God? If not prepare now tc
meet thy God." -We make preparations
to! enter social, political and various
other kinds of life, but are we pre
paring to meet God. This is the one
essential. ' Trust Jesus tonight and be
ready when the summons shall come
to you, to meet God in peace.
" Mr. Wheeler, will preach tonight on
the ; subject,- "The Second Coming of
Christ." All are invited.

TIMES - GOOD III GERMANY
DESPITE YEAR OF WAR
Rigid Organization and Discipline
Given as Cause; $2,250,000 Raised
in Loans Since Struggle
. Began.
Washington, Sept. 21. Economic
conditions in Germany after one year
of war are described in a report com
piled by the American Association of
Trade and Commerce in Berlin and re
ceived today at the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce. It says tb.3
financial' record has shown "the re
sults of rigid organization and dis
cipline," and draws particular atten
tion to the fact that Germany has
raised $2,250,000,000 In war loans, and
the Imperial Reischbank has accumu
lated a gold reserve of $600,000,000.
"The change of the entire economic
activity from its peace conformatioii
to one of war," says the report, "has,
with the aid of the Reischbank taken
place rapidly and thoroughly. The
establishment of the official loan
banks and credit institutions has pro
vided credit accommodation in abun
dant measure. It is significant that in
the past war year, when Germany was
not only in a military but also in an
economic sense confronted with supe
riority of hostile forces, the issue of
industrial securities did not come to a
stop. Besides the official new corpo
rations, quite a number of new corpo
rations having no war connection hae
been established. Many existing con
cerns have increased their capital
stock. "
"From the outbreak of the war, up
to August 1, 1915, altogether, $125,
000,000 have been invested in new irJ
existing industrial undertakings, aa
against new issues of $250,000,000 in
1913. During the month of July, 1915,
$10,000,000 were" invested in industrial
undertakings.
"This result is overshadowed by the
amounts reached in the subscript!:)
for the war loans, as after seven
weeks of war $1,125,000,000 were paid
in and after nine war months $2,250,
000,000 had been paid.
'The enlarged field of the Reicch-
bank activity was followed by a
healthy strengthening of the gold cov
er, and at the end of the war year the
gold cover reached $600,000,000 as
against $312,000,000 on July 31, 1914.',
