MODERN THRIFT A. Craig Bowdish, Minister. "Modern Thrift" takes on a great importance in the Unlit of today's war activities. Former attempts at world domination have been compara tively slight and never the work of n carefully worked out ilan. Alex ander the Great died early from dis sipation nnd his generals soon sep arated through jealousy. The Caesars on the Roman hills sent their legion aries far into conquered lands, but the day came when few regretted the advance of Goth and Vandal upon the Eternal City because justice had been forgotten and honesty was neg lected. Charlemagne held only the shadow of Rome's former greatness. Napoleon held all by military' might and the power of his own brain. And his star set amid the clouds that rest ed over St. Helena. Today the world menace is far more serious for it Is the result of a century given to planning and a half century of preparation. The leader is a man of personally clean habits who is obscessed with the idea of Germany's world conquest. He is surrounded by men who give ; their whole time and thought to this, j The whole nation under them has. submitted to have the leaders do their thinking for them. The German menace is a movement that does not rest on the career of any one man. It therefore continues until suppress ed by forces outside of itself. To meet this world crisis the Allied nations have organized the greatest voluntary co-operation the world bv. ever seen. The biggest pooling of interests and property that' the world has ever attempted. 'This has been done and continues in spirit that came into tbd "world In tbe early days of Christianity. In;ihe! fdhding of the early church USe primitive Christians were closely associated together. Believing that their leader, Jesus Christ, was coming again soon, they did not be lieve that they needed to save money or make more. So they sold their possessions, pooled the proceeds and "parted them to all, according as each man had need." This was a new spirit in the world. It has had a real place through the centuries. It has now spread until it includes half the human race that the war for democracy may be won. But we of today must make this co-operation one for production and riving no less than for spending. As a war of nations each individual con tributes his share. The more thrift he exericese the more he speeds the day of peace. The more he saves and loans to the government, the more he hastens the day of victory and the freedom of the world. REASONS FOR THRIFT AND HOME SERVICE By Rev. J. Charles Villers, (Church of the Good Shepherd.) I have been asked by our local rep resentative of what might well be called "The National Society of Thrift" to say a few words on the subject of "Thrift," not alone because he asks it, but because the Govern ment at Washington requests that inch a word be spoken, if possible, 'oui ever' pulpit in the country, at this time. I have also been asked by he local representative of "The Home Branch" of the American Red Cross to say a word in its behalf. First then as to the Home Service Branch. The object of this branch of the American Red Cross, as I see it, is to make our religious faith and fellowship Instinct with life, by rend ering whatsoever service that sym pathy would suggest should be render ed, to our friends and neighbors, who have husbands, or brothers, or sons, bearing the burden and heat of the day in connection with the war, and to whom such service, wisely, and sympathetically rendered, may prove of great assistance. St. James re minds us that one phase of pure and undcfiled religion is to visit and care for the fatherless and widows in their afflictions. The Home service branch of the American Red Cross proposes to do this and more than this. It might well be called the "whatsoever' section of the Red Cross, for there is scarcely anything which conies within the pale of the family life of those whose loved ones are in the active service of our country whic'i will not have the sympathetic interest of those engaged in thif "Home Service." And such servile, if well and wisely rendered, will prove of first importance to the community by the unifying influence it will exert. To be well done it must be done with poise as well as piety, with sympathy as well as pity. It will, I am sure, be so done in this community, nnd its results will be good. And now a word on the subject of Thrift. The times in which we live are critical times. All times are critical times. But some times are more critical than are other times. Such are the times in which we live. We are dealing with questions that have not only to do with the affairs of the fleeting moment, but which have far reaching issues, the very root questions of society. But we are moving forward from day to day with out undue fear and apprehension. We hope and believe that the future is ours not for defeat but for victory. It is, if we all do our duty. If we cannot do all we wish to do, we may do till we can and should do to win the war. War is a great crime against civilization, and against humanity, but this war is a crime for which the Am erican people are not responsible. The guilt of that crime lies elsewhere. There is abundant evidence, and It is constantly accumulating, as to who is responsible for the war. They are responsible for it who thought that by w;ir they could bring the civilized world under their dominance, and who treated nations, peacefully in clined, with contempt and contumely; who laughed at, and derided interna tional laws, and swept them aside as of no moment. Yes, and did even worse, so far as America is concern ed, for they abused her hospitality nnd natience. and by numerous agencies spread the seeds' f Beditlon from one end to thC-oMiV, throughout the country. -Th "made " promises to us which they never kept, and never meant to keep, and excused them selves for. breaking them by the flimsiest subterfuges. It was not un til patience had ceased to be a virtue that America went to war. We nre now at war, and at war with a good conscience, and with de termination never to sheath the sword until the world is Eafe for democracy. Our cause is a righteous one, and for that reason we should be willing and glad to make sacrifices for it. One means by which we can help to win the war is by "Thrift." When we speak of thift we use a word which in de finition comprehends two other words economy and frugality. By yirift we can save money, more or less, according to our circumstanc es, with which to buy War Saving Stamps. By economy and frugality we can go without whatever is not necessary to life and health. And by the same token we can, perhaps, our selves, produce some of the necessi ties of life, thereby adding to the sum total of food that must be sent to our soldiers and sailors, and to those who are our allies la this holy cause, whose lack is far greater than our own. In a pamphlet issued by the gov ernment at Washington, twenty ways of practicing thrift or economy are suggest e. Not all of these are avail able to us of these Islands. But sev eral of them are. These I will name. (1) Avoidance of all unnecessary travel, by rail, by water, or by motor car. (2) By buying clothes not only for appearance but for wearing qual- ities, and by keeping our old clothes in good repair, and wearing them un til they are threadbare. (3) By ab staining from luxuries. Including a: muscments for which we have to pay. What we can save by these means, and by other sacrifices we are urged to put into War Saving Stamps and Liberty Bonds. Of course we must recognize that "all work and no play" trends to dullness and monotony, Recreation is almost as much a need its is food. But any form or recrea tion or amusements overdone makes for "unthrift", and some would say. shows a defect in character. The secret of true thrift is fore thought. It consists not only in sav-' ing, but in investing wisely what we have saved. No better investment can be made at this time by one who loves his country than that which his country asks of him. This war is a most costly one. The monthly bill, we are told, to be paid by the national trea sury will soon be two billion dollars. Stupendous as is that figure, the end to he gained, and that will be gained, is such as will be a blessing to on coming generations. And it is not to be forgotten that when the gov ernment at Washington urges us to invest in War Stamps, and Liberty Bonds, it is not asking us to put our money into a bag with holes in it Rather is it asking us to regard it as seed to be planted in good soil which will be fruithful for others and also for ourselves. Our money is to be put to good use, to high moral purpose the redemption of peoples who, for the moment, at least, are en- Miss Margaret A. Rodrigues of Wai- luku, Maui, whose engagement to Mr. John T. Osorio of this city was an nounced some time ago, has been on a visit to this Island, accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Charles P. Bento, also of Wailuku. They left yesterday on MAUI BRIDE-TO-BE VISITS BIG ISLAND, FUTURE HOME the Mauna Kea for their home on the Valley Island, expressing themselves as more than delighted with what they had seen of Hawaii. While here Miss Rodrigues and Mrs. Bento saw more of the Big Is land and its beauties and points of historical Interest than many resi dents of Hilo have been privileged to enjoy. Their visit included Kalapana, Kapoho, and all of Kau as well as the volcano and its environs. In Kau they were the guests of Dr. A. T. Roll who have recently gone to that dis trict from Hilo. The marriage of Miss Rodrigues and Mr. Osorio has been Indefinitely postponed, awaiting the draft, and Mr. Osorio's status in that call. Al though entitled to deferred classifica tion, since he is the head of a busi ness house in this city, nnd his ab sence will mean that the house will have to be closed, Mr. Osorio did not ask exemption. He is in Class 1-A, and confidently expects to be called Into service next Monday. Miss Rodrigues is a piquante brun ette, nnd made many admirers for herself by her charm and beauty while she was on this island. Ha waii Herald. DELCO-LIGHT 11 uu SS&& OELCO-LIGHT ON THE FARM.'
