The 6th "War Bond sale in
Denison will toe formally
launched next 'Monday to last
through Dec. 6th, the goal be
ing $1,330,0010., with the local
head announced as Henry Et-
111. James, the Apostle speaks ter- This is the third tirae
of pure religion lying in the
fact that one goes about visit-
ing in the homes of the afflict-
ed ones.
To send flowers and woll
wishing notes to those who are
confined in their homes with
illness in one form or another,
is to be a ministering angel and
Etter has been drafted for this
important job and he announces
his committee are ready for their
respective segments of the city
and that he is confident the
fullest hacking will be given the
effort to1 back the boys.

there's no mistake about it. No and when comes to manifest
matter if the recipient does have
flowers in their own yard and
many greeting cards lying about
the house—just to receive them
from those who are thinking of
them means a volume in bring-
ing a ray of light into the
pick room.
For those who are forced for
the time being to look through
the window and see others pass-
ing iby in good health and in
full command of their walking
habits is something the siok
would giWe a great deal to be
able to perform for themselves-
So, those who are able to com-
mand the full powers of their
limbs and other mefnbers of the
human body which permit us to
enjoy this good old world around
us is something some of us
have to be denied before we
ing its patriotism, I believe it
can not be beaten by any city in
the country. We have not onlj
raised our quotas on time be

quite confident of history re-
peating itself in this effort a*

Etter stated 'Monday.
Chairman Etter this week an-
nounced his advisory committed
which will have charge of detail-
to cary through the campaign in
an efficient manner. The group
announced Monday is as fol-
lows, with othees to be added,
if needed:

fully appreciate it. And to Loomis, A. G. McRae, J. W-
those who can command such
faculties and who can be an
angel of mercy in ministering
to the sick in any form is one
of the better ways to show
that we appreciate the good
health we now enjoy.
The Christ did not intend to
remedy all physical ailments and
open all blind eyes and unstop
deaf ears and cause all lame to
walk or he would have not have
passed by so many of them
while here in the flesh. But
the fact that He did handle some
of such cases at an instant com-
mand while among men, was to
indicate that He had power
over organic life and human
frailties and physical weakness
and inhibitions, and some day in
His own way, He will see that
His power is exercised over all
such. That is the great lesson
in miracles, and to those who
are not able here and now to get
relief from their short-time inhi-
bitions, there h to come a day
when pain and physical handi-
caps will be banished and eter-
nal day will exclude the night.
Meantime those who carry rays
of happiness into homes of the
s<ick are touching the borders of
the garment of Him who "went
about doing good."
