WHAT SHALL YOUR ANSWER BE? (By Richard H. Edmonds, Editor Manufacturers Record of Baltimore) “America is made up of 100,000,000 units of individual men and wo men. It has been well said that God does not know America as America, except as he knows YOU and ME and EVERY INDIVID UAL who in the aggregate comprise America. “YOU are America to the extent of yourinvividuality. YOUR re sponsibility in this world crisis is exactly the same as that of Ameri ca as a whole. “America must put forth every ounce of strength to save itself, but America will fail to do this to the extent that any single individual fails to do his or her duty. “Viewed from this angle, are YOU truly an American or are YOU merely a hanger-on, shouting perhaps with the crowd, but doing no real effective service in this, the greatest crisis since man’s creation? “Go deep down into YOUR soul before YOU make answer to your self, to YOUR country and to YOUR God to these questions: “What am J personally doing to uphold the Government, to equip and sustain cur soldiers and to lighten their burdens? “What sacrifice am I making to match the sacrifice of the soldiers who give up home and endure untold hardships and offer their lives to protect me? “What am I doing to increase the output of the things heeded for war or to sustain the nation in its stupendous task? “Am I seeking personal gain of higher wages, or shorter hours, or larger profits merely for MY OWN individual selfish interests? Am I consecrating every ounce of my strength, every power of my being toward arousing the nation, toward quickening latent patrio tism into a living flame, toward increasing food production or lessen ing food consumption and or toward the building of ships, the increased output of steel and iron and coal and chemicals and machinery, the expansion and at the same time the conservation of transportation facilities by rail, water and highway? “Am I adjusting my family expenses by cutting out every unnec essary thing that the money thus saved may be dedicated to the na tion’s use through Liberty Bonds, Red Cross, Y. M. C. A. work, re ligious activities or War Savings Stamps? “Am Ia mere casual looker-on, an unthinking beast, with no real ization of my own individual responsibility to God and man, or am I consecrating all that is in me, all my powers of mind and body, to this great task, the most momentous to which mankind has ever been called? “Am Ia shirker, a slacker, a physical, mental or financial coward, or am Ia man or a woman into whom God has rea?ly breathed the breath of life in its larger and divinest sense?;’ A COUNTRY WORTH FIGHTING FOR IS A COUNTRY WORTH SAVING FOR Thrift Stamps and War Saving Certificates For Sale Phone or Write us Your Subscription to the Third Liberty: Loan AT YOUR SERVICE THE JACKSON NATIONAL BANK R.
