"BACK THE ATTACK"
There are approximately 48,000
residents in Huron county, If every-

buy considerably more, the people of
Huron county would subscribe $4,-

If we all buy Fourth Victory Loan
Bonds to the limits of our ability,
our orders for $5,000, $2,000, $1000
$500 and $100 will provide not only
our Huron county objective but a
record to show the members of our
armed forces we are "Backing the

answered fundamentally in one sent-
ence, viz., the highest interests for
a.11 mankind.
Let me illustrate !
Approximately one hundred years
ago, one of the outstanding mission-
aries of the Christian Church was on
his way to the Orient. "Well, Mr,
Morrison," said the captain of the
boat, "do you expect to convert four
hundred million Chinese?" "No sir,"
said Mr. Morrison, "but I believe that
God will."
Mr. Morrison, by Ills answer and
by his life's work as a missionary,
put first things first. Moreover! The
testimony ot China today, re Christ
and His cause, bears witness to the
truth, the imperativeness of first
things first.
Again! Nearly two thousand yam's
ago Jesus was being entertained in
the home of Mary and Martha and
Lazarus, Martha put household dut-
ies, the meals, etc., first. Mary sat
and listened to the words of Jesus.
Jesus commended Mary because she
chose "the batter part:" As choosing
bet'.r0een necessary and Important
'household duties, and listening to the
words of life, Mary put first things
