Not a great while ago when the clock struck eight at night every light in Athens flashed out. For the moment the entire city was in darkness, total darkness; every head was bowed; every thought was heavenward bent; every indi vidual stood upon the bridge which spans the chasm ’twixt time and eternity. It was the Hour of Prayer, and all Athens prayed. They prayed for our boys who were in danger, and they prayed as they had never prayed before, that these boys might be spared. They prayed for the boys who sleep eternally on shell-swept fields that they might sleep in peace and their souls be where there is no war and no wounds. They prayed that the war would soon be over and a right eous victory should bless the world, and their prayers WERE ANSWERED. Prayer is the handmaid of re ligion and there’s only one kind of religion worth while, and there’s only one kind of patriot ism worthy of the name, and that is the religion and the patriotism that stands for service—service to God and service to country go hand in hand— the connecting link between Heaven and Earth. The four Liberty Loans, which were necessary for preparation for equippment, presented the cost of war. Te fifth or Victory Loan represents the cost of victo ry. The four loans, w hich were nec essary to make the fifth a glorious possibility, represented loans made to our Government when from the skies above there rained shot and shell, and from the earth beneath, there burned the pitiless fires of hell, merciless demanding their toll. The four Liberty Loans repre sented loans made to our Govern ment when homes were saddened and hearts were sickened. They represented loans made when Foch and Pershing, Haig and Pe taiu stood with their backs to the wall. Now comes the fifth and the realization of our prayers—the cost of victory. No danger now from lead swept skies; no danger now from murderous bombs in the ocean s depth: r danger now in trench or <•• i . a lie guns are silenced; the dogs of war are chained. Victory, an honorable victory, sweeps sky and land. Victory, an honorable victory is caught in the ocean’s spray and bathes, like glistening dew from heaven, the shores of every land and clime. Yictory, a glorious victory, that makes every star and every stripe in America’s Old Glory anew song anew inspiration, and anew theme. FOR THAT FLAG HAS DAREI) THE FIRES OF HELL AND STANDS UNSCORGHED, FOR THAT FLAG HAS RECEIV ED HEAVEN’S BENEDICTION AND STANDS GOD-BLESSED. Now comes the call—it is vic tory’s call—the price of peace— with honor. Our government is calling for a loan to pay the price, and it is your debt: it is my debt; it is the debt of every man, and of every woman, and of every child whose hearts are attuned to the anthem, “MY COUNTRY ’TIS OF THE.” Will you lend your money as freely and as unselfishly as you did in time of war? YOU WILL IF YOUR PRAYERS ARE SA CRED. YOU WILL IF YOUR PATRIOTISM IS SINCERE.
