PROPER ATTITUTE.

“I don’t give a damn for church members * who doesn’t hate sin,” shouted Billy Sunday in a Chicago sermon recently. “And I don’t give a damn for an American who doesn’t hate the kaiser and all he stands for.” ’ * We repeat the quotation. We endorse the sentiment because we believe that Americans have not inculcated in themselves the proper spirit of hatred for the baby-killing Huns; they have not fostered real, heartfelt anger at the rape of Belgium; they have not taken this barbarous war to their own hearts. The point is that unless we promptly back up our government in its calls for loans, these atrocities will be at our own doorstep before we know it. Then what kind of Americans are we if we fail to give our full measure of dollars while our sons are giving their full measure of blood, for OUR country? " -
