LAY SERMON
Roosevelt said that extravagance
rota character; it's hard on the pock-
etbook also. Thrift Stamps and War
Savings Stamps are the best medicine
for a sick purse. A flat pocketbook
flattens out one's chances for suc
cess. War Savings Stamps will make
that same flat pocketbook bulge out
like it had had a Christmas dinner.

A. young lad the son of a promi-
nent Texas business mnn hnd ju-t
been operated upon in the St. Paul
Sanitarium at Dull. The surgeon
hnrf done their work and the patient
nl ill deeply under the Influence of
the anaesthetic whs carried mux lo
his room. The father of the Ind with
the old fnmily physician had brought
the boy to the sanitarium the day be-
fore from sn Kast Texas town. The
case was especially a desperate one
made doubly so by the trip and the
unavoidable delay. The mother was
left at home on advice of the physi-
cian. The father followed the old doctor
out of the room where his son lay al-
most lifeless Taking the doctor by
the hand and looking him straight in
i the eyes he said: "Now Frank no
dissembling. 1 want to know my
boy's chance for life. Our old
friendship entitles me to get a truth-
Iful answer. You were present dur-
! inir the operation and you know all
the circumstances of his illness and
you know it is probably my fault that
the case was allowed to progressto
the nresent desperate condition. You
iknow how I love that boy and you
know what his denth will mean to his
! mother. But I must know the truth.
i Will my boy live?".
I The old doctor hesitated a mom-
ent and said.
j Bill your boy has one chance and
lone only. The surgeons thinks it a
I slender one. I do not. Under ordi-
nary circumstances your boy would
i not live forty-eiirht hours. But do
'not tremble so old friend I feel sure
j the one chance will pull your boy
ithrouL'h. Here is his chance. Bill: I
have been a physician in your family
and his mother's family for more
than fifty years. I know the blood
that flows in your boy's veins snd
there is not a drop stained by dissi-
pation on either side for generations.
Your boy will have a hard hard fight
vou mav despair many times but in
ithe opinion of the old family doctor1
that know all about you ne v.'in win
the fight. And he will win. Pil be-
cause you and yours have seen fit to
live right." .
The father said afterwards that
what th old doctor toid him f at day
as he I'rrened I" the hiiwy breathing
and minus of his son in the next
room paid him the greatest dividend
he had ever received in his life. Tiie '
boy Is now a healthy youngster in (
the State University.
The object of the sermon today is
to try to prove that it pays to be a
gentleman. Marshall News.

Inviting Opportunity
In ready funds is the magnet that will draw opportuni-
ty not once but many times to the thrifty man's door.
The funds need not be necessarily large. There are op-
portunities of all sizes but the possession of capital no
matter how limited implies the presence of other desir-
able qualities such as business sense stability ambi-
tion. By starting a savings account with us now you
will soon have suffiicent savings accumulated to enable
you to welcome opportunity when she knocks while
without money you may not even recognize her.
