One of the finest constructive activities of the American Red Cross tn
the war was Home Service in the United States, the friendly connecting link
between the soldier far from home ami his loved ones. This branch of the
work which under the peace program of the Red Cress will be expanded to
benefit all who need the assistance it can provide, is directed by scientifically
trained social workers. Since instituted Home Service lias assisted 800,000
soldiers’ and sailors’ families. This photograph shows one of Hie Innumer
able Home Service Information bureaus where service men and their families
could bring their problems for solution.
T —
European mission, Dr. Love made the
following statement outlining the pur
pose of the commission:
“When tho call came to help save,
promote and secure democracy in Eu
rope there came a louder call to help
save, promote and secure evangelical
Christianity in Europe. That which
alone will now preserve and perfect
the democracy for which crave men
have died on the battlefield of Europe
is the Christianity of the New Testa
ment. Southern Baptists can not long
er profess New Testament Christian
ity and decline a challenge like that
which is now presented to them to
bear witness to their faith among the
peoples of Europe. Our people never
before faced such a challenge and such
a responsibility.
Os course we can not go to the men
and women of Europe who have been
stripped of earthly fortune and reduced
to direst necessity with a message of
Christian love and brotherhood if we
decline in our abundance to carry
some substantial pledge of our love
and compassion. Mothers will not be
able to stay the crying of their little
ones to hear tis preach if we decline
io practice the gospel or compassion
and feed these little ones and build
fires at which they can during the com
ing winter warm their frosted toes.
Southern Baptists are under the most
solemn obligation to help relieve the
want and suffering of Europe. But if
there were, no reconstruction work in
Europe, Southern Baptists nave mo
tives numerous enough and strong
enough to compel them to make a com ;
plete success of the Baptist 75 Mil
lion Campaign. I would therefore, as
my .parting word to my brothers and
sisters of the South, implore them to
give themselves to this campaign and
carry it to a triumphant conclusion
during Victory Week, November 30-
December 7.”

A good banking connection is of value
along many lines.
It is not alone in the business world
that it will be of immense assistance.
It gives you a real sense of independ

worth many dollars to you.
A connection with an institution like
this one gives you Prestige.

As far back as the first winter of
the war, the lied Cross sent to Serbia
a sanitary commission that effective
ly checked the scourge of typhus, but
after the United States entered the
conflict, the Tied Cross was able, in
August,' 1917, to send a full commis
sion that carried on extensive relief
operations among the suffering ref
ugees of the tortured nation. Hospi
tals were established, the refugees fed,
clothed and given medical attention,
the army supplied with much needed
dental treatment, farm machinery, and
seeds provided to help the Serbs re

Christians Invade
The Holy Land
Southern Methodists Send First Work
ers To Palestine for Sible and
Literature Distribution.
(Special Correspondence)
Nashville, Tenn. —The Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, has the dis
tinction of being the first Christian
denomination to send workers to Pales
tine since the free regime inaugurated
under the occupancy of General Al
lenby.
The Centenary European Commission
of the Church, headed by Bishop Janies
Atkins and Dr. W. B. Beauchamp, have
already dispatched five colporteurs to
the Holy Land. These will be followed
by five more in the next few weeks.
These workers will establish no sta
tions, but will follow the early Metho
dist custom of itinerating over the
country distributing Bibles, tracts and
Christian literature.
This literature will be printed in .
the native dialects, and will be secured
through an arrangement with the Nile
Press in Egypt.
Under the rule of the Turk such a
movement would have been prohibited, 1
but under Allenby there is perfect free-'
dom of religions. The action of the |
Southern Methodists is the beginning
of a vast scheme of missionary actiy-,
ity which will be carried on in the
Holy Land.
Regular Ford Way
Ford Company Began on Starter
In 1911
Henry Ford tested his Starting and
Lighting System on bis own car for
one year.
Ten months ago tbo Ford Motor
Company was not'manufacturing Elec
tric Starters; today the output of its-
Starter Department is greater than
that, of any other manufacturer of
e'ectric starting devices in the world.
Its nearest competitor makes one
thousand a day, whereas the Ford
Company's output is fast approaching
the three thousand mark, two thous
and eight hunche I and eighty-one al
ready having been manufactured in
o m day.
Tae Ford starter and generator —
f>rit is really two separate units —is
not the result o! a new idea er of a
sudden decision. More than eight
years ago Mr Henry Ford's vision
saw the heed, and his electrical en
gineers were instructed to begin ex
perimenting. After seven years of
constant research, which took into
consideration the many different cli
mates in which the Forebear is used,
together with the factors of size and
weigh* and an adaptability to quan
tity production, twenty-three trial
jobs were built. These were tested
in many different ways- Mr Ford
himself used one on his car fora year.
Still the engineers continued their
experiments and improvements.
Then came the order from the
Government for 15,000 three-ton
tanks, each one of which was to be
equipped with two synchronized Ford
Motors. A starter was essential, so
Si he one now being installed on Ford
Icars was eyolved. But, only one
I
^starter and generator was us d to
sturn over the two Ford motors in
leach tank. January first 1919 the
| Ford Motor Company began equipp-
Lug enclosed ears with ibis new start
ing and lighting system Ford en
;aineers sav that ahhough ihc entire
H 1 /■
|system —Sta-tcr and Generator —
j weighs only thirty one pounds, it
5 produces a higher h rque output(con-
I slant rotary motion) pound for pound,
han any other system on the market.
When tlie depart merit for building
j
the starting and lighting systems first
began production, fifty hours labor
was charged to each unit, but now
that machinery and equipment have
| been installed, the time per unit is
| four hours. Two huge armature im
| pregnating ovens have been installed,
reach with a capacity of 1700 every
eight hours. In these oyens the ar
matures are dried, soaked in varnish
and dried again. ISight hours time
is required for this one operation.
The power from the starter to the
motor is applied through the well
known Bendix drive, which automat
ically engages the starter and then,
once the motor is started, the starter
immediately disengages. It is. equip
ped with cilless bearings and needs
practically no attention.
Within another thirty days or six
weeks, the Ford Company expects
to be making enough starters so that
every Ford car will be equipped with
new Electric Starting and Lighting
System, adv

“There is sorrow in the household
It’s desolate and lone,,
For the fondly cherished nursely
Frcm its parent nest has flown.
She has put on robes of glory,
For the little robes ye wrought,
And sho fingers golden harpstrings
Fer tl e toys ye kindly brought-
Now like a pei-1 e nhr > ed,

She is safe in Heaven above,
Safe with n •h? scarce of love,
Forever Eure to dwell.’’
