America is coming of age.

The nation’s hundred years oi
democracy have been but the prep:
aration for its manhood.

It is a cheap jibe to say that America was
unprepared for this war. It has had the mightiest
preparation in the histo'ry of nations. For over a
century Destiny has been preparing in this New
World a spirit of triumphant Democracy. Such
a spirit cannot be made. It must be grown, inbred.

On this Western Continent Destiny has been
training the young Galahad for the rescue of
the world.

Nature has an antidor .: every poison.

 

, Every one of our wars‘ has been for the same
purpose: to liberate the common man.

The Revolution of 1776 was to get the privi-
leged class of England off the backs of the Amer-
ican Colonists who were redeeming this wilderness.

The War of 1812 was to rescue American sea-
men from oppression.

The Mexican War was to. liberate the settlers

of Texas from the whimsy cruelty of Mexico.

The Spanish War was to save the people of:-
Cuba from the tyranny of the Spanish Government. '

Every time our army and navy have gone forth
. it has been to clean up some filthy autocracy.

’ But all‘ofzour warshave been but a preparation
for“ our present task; We didinot realize it. No
man foresees his Destiny, no nation foresees its
mission. Yet the life of euery nation, as of every
man, is a plan of God.

God has been piling up riches on this con.
tinent until we are the wealthiest nation in the
world. He has been sharpening our inventive skill

and our business ability. Our training has been
intensive.

Now God says, “America you are come of age.
All I have done for you is to prepare you for the
present conflict, for your real work. Go forth and

”make the world a. decent place to dive in.”-

At this time every son of America is called
upon to'do his utmost. The slacker is a traitor.

We are sending men across the ocean. merrwho
are physically and mentally the pick of the world, i
an incomparable army. But th’emen at home must

backthem up. .

It 13 as much our solemn duty to put our money
into the Fourth Liberty Loan as it is the duty of
the soldier to stand firm at his post in battle.

This Fourth Liberty Loan 13 to be our supreme .

effort. God helping us. we shall not be found

wanting. Let us subscribe all We can. and a little
more.
