YOUR LIBERTY BOND
By W. M. Lewis, Director Savings
Division.
The United States Government
borrowed money from you to finance
the War. You hold the Government’s
promise to pay you back. This prom¬
ise is called a Liberty Bond or Vic¬
tory Note. On this Bond is stated the
conditions under which the Govern
ment borrowed the money from you
For instance: If you hold a Bond
of the Third Liberty Loan, it states
that on April 15th and October 15th
of each year until maturity, you will
receive interest on the amount you
paid for the Bond. Other issues bear
other rates of interest and other ma
turity dates, all of which are clearly
stated on the Bond.
Now, if you keep your Bond until
the date when the Government pays
you in full for it, you do not need to
worry if, in the meantime, the price
is low one day or high the next. V ou
and Uncle Sam are living up to
your agreement with each other, and
neither will lose by it.
On the other hand, if you sell your
Liberty Bond now, you will find that
the man you sell it to will not give
you a dollar for every dollar you paid
for it. The price has been brought
down because so many people are
offering to sell their Bonds. If the
market is flooded with tomatoes, you
can buy them cheap, but if everyone
is clamoring for tomatoes and there
are few to be had, the price goes up.
The same is true of Liberty Bonds.
Short-sighted people are dumping
them on the market, and wise ones
are buying them.
The best advice that can be given
to the owner of a Liberty Bond is
this: Hold the bond you bought dur¬
ing the war; it is as safe and sound
as the United States Government it
self.
Buy as many more at the present
low rate as you can afford. If you
hold them to maturity, you are bound
to make the difference between whm
they sell at now and their face val¬
ue. You will also receive good inter
est on your investment.
Hold on to your Liberty Bonds
and buy more.

REV. W. F. QUILLIAN SAYS
GOODBYE TO FRIENDS
Mr. Editor:
I will thank you to give me space
for a word of final “Goodbye” to
my friends in Fort Valley. I use this
word in the old Anglo-Saxon sense
of “God bless you” and not to sug¬
gest a sorrowful parting.
Many of the members of my
church were not present at the Sun¬
day services and I want the entire
membership to know that I appro
ciate the many, many kind expres
sions that have come to me and my
familv JrlZ from loZLL manv I sources We have
greuuy enjoyea me privilege or , tnis
pastorate during the three and a
half years that have passed. We leave
only because it seems to be the clear
leading of the Good Father and we
•hall •nan ever ever be De grateful grateiui to to all all of of the the
officials and leaders in all of the de
partments of the church for their cor
dial cooperation in every effort that
has been made for the advancement , .
of the kingdom of Jesus Christ. What
has been accomplished has been due
largely largely to to the the faithful fattnt U and and devoted devoted
leaders who have stood in their
places and have been true to their
high calling.
To the many friends of other de
nominations I would express my sin
para appreciation tor the aplendtd
and gerirous spirit which has been
manifested in ail of our dcnomina
tional relations. It is pleasing beyond
expression to live in a community f
where the people of all churches are
big enough and Christian enough o j
love one another and to rejoice each
in the success of the other.
I have the most kindly feeling for
every inhabitant of this good city, f
have made mistakes. I have perhaps
been unwise in many things but my
motive has ever been to seek first
the interest of the kingdom and the
salvation of souls.
I cannot see each person who had
a part in presenting to me the beau
tiful automobile, hence 1 take this
occasion to say in simple word, I
thank you and each of you. The gift
is valuable indeed but the sp ; rit
which prompted the gift shall be of
priceless value to me and mine. Fort
Valley and her people are forever
enshrined in our hearts.
Let us be true to our God und
when the lingering shadows of our
day shall come let it be said of us
that ‘‘At even-tide it is light.”
Wm. F.QUILLIAN.
RESOLUTIONS ON DR.
QUILLIAN’S departure
Methodists Express Gratitude Far
His Ministry, Grief Over His
Departure, Ask Blessings
On Hi* New Work.
After the regular service at tin
Methodist Church last Sunday night
at which Rev. W. F. Quillian preacl
ed his farewell sermon as pastor of
the church before leaving to take u,
his new work as president of Wesle;.
an College, the following resolution
prepared by a committee of th
hoard of stewards were read a; i
unanimously adopted by a rising vole
of the congregation,
In obedience to the law of ous
Church, the Fort Valley Metheodi
congregation had recognized the like
lihood that at the end of the preseo
year our pastor, Rev. W. F. Quillia:
would be assigned to another station
biit, because of the action
of the last General Conference
making it possible, under certain con
djtion8t for a pastor to remain be
yond the U8Ua , four vear limit> num
berg of our members were hoping
that Brother Quillian might be re¬
turned to us for at least another
year, and definite plans were already
assuming shape for the accomplish
ment of this purpose, when the con¬
stituted authorities laid upon his
bear {; the ea ]] a sphere of great
use f u i ness an d opportunity as the

H a | that it could not be denied. Thu
our hopes and plans had to be aban
doned, and our purpose yielded tt
the needs of this institution.
Under the leadership of this mm
of God this Church has made re
markable progress in every way.
The financial and material interest
of the Church have advanced unti
in the light of present day records
the efforts of a few years ajsro seem
very small. There have been large
numbers added to the church roll,
bringing this congregation to a po¬
sition as one of the foremost church
es, not only in our immediate Con
ference, but within the bounds of
Southern Methodism.
But far above all this in impor¬
tance is the spiritual life and power
of the church. All thinking people
among us recognize the fact that
numbers of our people are definitely
committed to the highest ideals and
standards of Christian living; that
there is a growing spirit of sym¬
pathy and Christian love which
holds large promise for the future
of the church in a spiritual way;
that we have now such a note of f
solidarity and unity among our mem- 1

HOTEL TYBEE will be under the
t 0 f Captain Edgar L.
who for the past fifteen
has been manager of the fa
Seashore Hotel at Wrightsville
has had a ]arpe force of
busily engaged in painting,
bership as we have not witnessed
for years past; and tnat today
Valley Methodism has come to
place of greatest strength and prom
ise she has ever occupied. We would
not be understood as in any sense
making these statements in anything
of a spirit of pride and boastfulness,
but the rather in a spirit of the ut
most humility and thankfulness to
God for His mercies to us, and in the
spirit of a mighty resolve to move on
to greater spiritual victories and
achievements.
However, we do not recognize
these conditions, and we desire to
make grateful acknowledgement of
fact that these things have been
made possible for us largely because
of the leadership of this servant of
God, to whom we bid adieu tonight
as our pastor. In these three and one
half years of his ministry this Church
has been blessed in that we have had
for our leader a man, not only edu
cated, cultured, refined, of singular
balance af judgment and splendid
administrative qualities, but one so
piumble, so sincere, with such a
breadth of vision, such discretion of
conduct and of statement, such adap
tability and fitness for every ser
vice laid upon him, as to win the con
fidence and love of an entire mem
bership, and to bring us all to realize
'hat no man could do these things
except God be with him. We have
rnlv enjoyed that blessing and in
-ration which can only come from
ebjg led by one whose will has been
wholly yielded to God and whose
whole heart and life is filled with
:nd directed by the Holy Spirit.
And so we affectionately attest
hat in all of the pastoral relations
-in the pulpit, in the work of the
Sunday School, in the Missionary
vork of the Church, in the F.pwortb
League, in the snecial work with the
•hildren in the Junior Church, in
>ur homes, as a friend and helper
in times of sorrow and grief, in
very one of the acts of service and
ellowship to which he has been call
>d, Rrothar Quillian has responded
so readily and capably and withal
<o sympathetically and considerate¬
ly as to win a place of warmest Chris¬
tian affection and regard in the
hearts of all.
Likewise, in the larger work of
Methodism—charged with special
work during the Centenary Drive for
funds and also in connection with
the Centenary Evangelistic Cam
naign in our schools and strength and colleges, to labor he j
found time i
with such marked measures of suc
■ess and with such tokens of Divine
ipproval as to single hint out as one
of the very strongest, men through¬
out our whole connection.
It is not strange, therefore, that
even though yet a young man should
he called to this*.place of such high
honor and dignity, the Presidency
of Wesleyan College, this magnifi¬
cent institution which lies so close
to the heart of Georgia Methodism.
Besides all of this our friend
md brother has so identified him¬
self with the life of this community
through his excellent service in all
>f the war activities and through
his identification with the education¬
al and civic interests of the City
(hat he has established himself as one
of the most valuable citizens among
us.
Naturally then we feel the keen
esl sense of disappointment and loss
that at least the term of the present
pastorate might not have been com¬
pleted. However this call seems to
be directly of God and of such wis¬
dom just at this *• * e that, though
grieved and disappointed at the re¬
moval of our beloved pastor, we
cheerfully and joyously acquiesce,
feeling that we could not do less
than exhibit this evidence of our
interest in and regard for the wel
fare Wesleyan College and the
great work that is there being done
renovating and enlarging the proper¬
ty. The grounds have been beauti¬
fied and many lovely flowers planted
in the beds between the Hotel and
Railway Station.

hesitate to predict that the same in

( same character of success that have
characterized his service and minis
try in the past will attend Brother
Quillian in the discharge of the del-i
icate and important duties
ing upon hint as President of this
great institution of learning,
Inasmuch, therefore, as these
things be true, and that with to
night’s service the ministry of Bro
ther Quillian as pastor of this eon
congregation closes,
Be it resolved that the membership
of the Fort Valley Methodist Church
does hereby give expression of the
profoundest gratitude to Almighty
G6<C for the faithful ministry, the
staunch and helpful citizenship, the
warm friendliness, the capable and
spiritual leadership of Brother Quil
lian in our Church and community,
bringing to us such a (wealth of
blessing and inspiration and hope,
Resolved further that while feeling
most keenly the loss and grief inci
dent to the severance of the delight
ful relations existing between us as
pastor and people, we accept this
change as the fulfilment of God’s will
and ' purpose, and in that spirit re
ioice in the opportunity that is thus
afforded to Brother Quillian in this
field of larger usefulness and ser
vice.
Resolved further that the whole
•hurch pledge to Brother Quillian
our earnest prayers to the end that
Good's best blessings of wisdom,
-race and strength may be supplied
‘o him in the discharge of the im
nortant work he is now to undertake
■is the leader of the educational for¬
es of our State among young women
of our church; and that likewise
every member of his family may con¬
tinue to be the objects of God’s grac e
and blessing.
Resolved further that a copy of
these resolutions be furnished to Bro¬
ther Quillian as a token of the high
esteem and tender Christian love in
which he is held by every member
of this church; that the resolutions
entered upon our official minutes;
and that copies be furnished to the
Leader-Tribune and the Conference
organ for publication.
