who is chairman of the National Lutheran Committee for the welfare of soldiers and sailors, was in town Saturday and Sunday and part of Monday. His object was to look over the U. S. Hospital here which will soon have from 800 to 1,000 patients and to arrange to send a pastor here to minister to the institution. After seeing Major Davis and his staff it is very sure that this pastorate will be established.

Other pastors will be provided by his organization for Kenilworth Inrt and Azalea and also Hot Springs if that place is made a hospital, which seems likely.

We bid you Godspeed and want you to realize that every loyal man and woman in America is praying and will continue to pray that you and your millions of comrades will return home to your loved ones after you have won a complete victory for your country and for all humanity.

Ferguson's Address Young Soldiers of 'the American Army i I congratulate you on your good fortune in being within the age limit, so that it was possible that you could be selected to protect the sacred rights and honor of your country; to defend the lives, homes and liberties of your countrymen. We who are so unfortunate as to be either too old or too young to share your great and glorious privilege congratulate our selves that we have such a splendid body of young manhood as you and as those gallant boys who gone before, and those who shall soon fol low in your footsteps to represent Old Haywood" in this the of wars. You have, and you should have, more enthusiasm and a greater in centive to fight, and if necessary to die, than the flower of the English and French nobility when they started on the first crusade to capture the sepulchre of Christ from the hands of the infidel. They were fighting and sacrificing their lives for a most worthy ideal You are to Aght for a stern reality. If you are victorious you will per petuate civilization and the freedom of mankind.

Defeat mean barbar ism and slavery. Yon will meet foe more cruel, barbarous and depraved than the infidel who defiled the-vacant grave of oar Lord and Hi holy city more than 700 year ago. I shall not nsult you by advising and admonish ing you to do your duty. Ths most of you are the descendants of the 'men who won the battles of King's Mountain and Guilford Court House, and I wish to say, by way of parenthesis, to this audience, some of whom arc not familiar with the genealogy of pari people, that there is more Revolu tionary stock in Western North Caro-. lina, according to population, than in.

any other section in the Union. Your fathers and grandfathers, for four years, louowaa ie ana rfscaava on i the bloody fields, of Virginia, and Ij know that tne same quality oi and. undying love of country burns in your hearts with equal intensity as- it id in that of your aires. With such ancestors we have right to that your heroic deed on the battle fields of France will reflect honor ea year state and nation and bring everlasting fame to yourselves. You and your American comrades, the time.

L. (By Jesse Daniel Boone) This week will tell the story of who will win the war, And it will also tell the world the fort of folks we are. We must lend piles of money, now, to see the program through; And it must come from millions and not from just a few. The U-boats thought to scare us by coming to our shores To sink our ships and treasure by dozens and by scores, But we are naff righted and with determined zeal We'll put the war loan over, or any other deal. Three times we heard and heeded Liberty Loan alarms And twice responded nobly to the Red Cross call to arms; And when the War Y.

M. C. A. sent out a ringing cry We filled its coffers full of gold and never heaved a sigh. A long pull, a strong pull, from every mother's son, And we will have War Savings week most gloriously won; Let no one lag or falter until we reach the goal; Until world liberty shall come for cv'ry human soul.

The cause to which we lend, today, is great and grand and just, And Uncle Sam, of all this world, is one whom we can trust; So let us lend quite freely before this week shall end And help our fighting armies the cause of right If you can get five dollars for cv'ry four you save. Do yon not think twill save you from a financial grave? That is the proposition to men, and children, too; Who wish to aid our armies and prove themselves true blue. When this old year ahU roll away, so full of blood and tears, May all forebodings also pass, and leave the world no fears Of Germans -or of Kaisers, or things which they have done; May we forget the submarine, the air raid and the Hun. But if we are to reach this state each one must do his share In camp, or trench, or here at home, in rushing to prepare; For those we face are daring men and care not how they fight; They try each day to show as that might is only right. But all down through the ages we see God's mighty hand Protecting those whose cause is just, as He did Gideon's Band; So we have foil assurance, now, that must sorely win; As sorely aa God's goodness will triumph over sin.
