President Wilson has the privelege of

Millions of dollars were needed to
finance this war, and the people fur
nished the money in elans on bonds
and donations.
Our government entered this war
in behalf of international liberty, in
order that humanity and democracy
might be safe.
' Now that our purpose in the war
has beenn accomplished, there is need
of much money for the peaceful up
lift of humanity, the spread of Chris
tianity, and charity.
^ Three great Christian and charita
ble institutions have requested the
power to furnish the neccessary funds
for the extension of their splendid
purposes.
Many millions hre called for by the
Southern Baptist Association, the
Methodist Episcapal Church South
and the Salvation Army.

Salvation Arnjy, charity and individ

diminished.
Greater than all other causes and
needs, those represented by thsse
Christian and "Samaritan” bodies are
greatest.
The aggregate sum is great, the
purpose is great as is the word of our
CCreator and Redeemer, and is not
circumscribed by creed or denomina
tion.
Millions are asked for, and the mil
