A VICTORY LOAN
CATECHISM
Q. What is the Victory Loan, 191S?
A . It is Canada's second Victory Loan
and fifth war Loan, •
Q. What is a victory bond? A. It
is the promise of the Dominion of
Canada to repay the lender the sum
panned upon it at the time stated.
Q. What••• security stands behind
this bond? A. The entire assets and
wealth of the Dominion of Canada,
0,; When was the last Victory Loan
raised? A. lei November,' 1917, when
2420,006.000 was subscribed, _.
0, What became ,of that money?
A. It has been used to prosechte
Canada'f part in the war and to finance
and carry on great industries at home.
Q. For example? A. Millions were
spent in raising, i equipping and
sending- forth the Canadian reinforce-
. ments,
How Was the money spent int
home? A. In many ways. The. Brit-
ish Government was given large credits
and out of these great orders were
t.iecl in 'Canada for munitions, wheat,
spruce, salmon, and other things need-
eo bythe army, 1
Q. Why did Great Britain need these
advances from Canada? A. They
were needed to offset Britain's advan-
ces to Canada in army expenses over-
seas.
Q. How does the loan affect the
people of Canada? A. Without it
our war effort would collapse, our
industries would suffer a great break-
down, our manufacturers and farmers
alike would lose their foreign market.
Q. What has the loan done for the
farmer? A. it has bought the greater
part of the wheat crop, and provided
A market at good prices for his dairy
and animal products.
Q. What would have happened to
these products without the losn?' A,
Most of the wheat would have been
unsold, the price would have been
greatly reduced, and the cheese and
bacon would have been a drug in the
market.
Q, Has the Loan established any
new industries? A. it has revived
ship -building and created new and
bustling ship -yards of the shores of
the St. Lawrence and the Great Lakes.
It has brought into being great plants
for the staking of aircraft.
Q. What do these mean to the
country? A. The employment of
thousands of well-paid teen and wo-
men and their development into high-
ly skilled workers.
Q, Does the Loan reach widely in
the distribution of the money? A. It
reaches virtually everybody in Can-
ada. All the great industries are ben-
efitted, while the financial and mer-
cantile classes all reap their share as
middle -hien.
Q. Why is it necessary to raise
the Loan in Canada? A. Because
there is no other place to raise ;it.
Our Allies are burdened to the limit,
anti we onust carry our own load.
Q Why is Germany fighting? A.
To dominate the world and crush
civilization under her cruel militarism.
General Von Bernhardt wrote years
ago: "Our next war will be fought for
the highest interest of our country
and mainkind. World power or down-
fall will be our rallying cry.”
• Q. Why is Canada fighting? A:
To save herself and ciVJlization from
this dastardly attack on the world's
liberty,
Q. What part has money in this
fight? A. While armies of , Wren are
indispensable, no. country can make
"war without "silver bullets."

1. Boys With a Difference (v. 27),_.
Esau and Jacob were in'decided con-
trast. They differed in appearance'
and•cilsposition. Esau was a cunning
hunter, a man of the field. Jneob was
a plain man, dwelling in tents. They •
were born that way. Every .child born
Into the world possesses 'a peeullar.
hent which we call individuality. No'
two are exactly alike, .even twins ilke•
Nsau and Jacob. The wise parent,.
:he wide-awake teacher, the educator,
;Welts diligently to discover that pe -
miler individuality, and to give It di-
rection accordingto the laws of its
tion being. This bent Is the basis of
.erecter. Neither Esau nor Jacob'
Is an Ideal- personality. Both are;
;elfish.
I1. Parental Favoritism (v..28). •
Isnnc loved Esau because he did
:ea of his venison. He ought to have.
levet] him because he was his son;
bit it is n snd commentary upon a fa-
ther that his love for his son had such'
n Lordid basis es thnt of his stomach.
15000, however, was like many today
whose love 1s secured`'through their ap-
petites. Rebecca loved Jacob, though
we are not told why. Perhaps ft was
because of his 'cunning. In this re-
spect he was like his mother, who
prnetIced craftiness to a finish on her
husband. Cleverness is a bond which,
strongle binds together many people.
Many hold the respect of their frtepds•
because of their shrewdness, irrespec•
five of their moral qualities. Parents
should treat their .children alike. To
show partiality is both -unwise and
unjust. Even when children possess
peculiar qualities which call forth pa-
rental affection, it should never be made
manifest tat preference is made.
111. A Birthright Sold (vv. 2P-84).
1. Esau's profanity (Mb. 12;16,17)..
He sold his birthright for a bowl
of pottage. The birthright was the
right of bring,at the iced of the patri-
nrchal family, a position of honor and
influence. as well as being the Inherit-
or of a dnubie portion of tlae father's
estate. This being a gift of God
should not Ino despised. He came from
huntingphysicallyexit:lusted. In this
moment of distress, he thought only
Of that which promised immediate sat-
isfaction. Fie was willing to relin-
gni:1h all claim epo n the future, ii
only his present clesh•e could be grati-
fied. A profane person is one who
for the enjoyment of the present will
forfeit n11 claim upon the future. He
would glndly gain both worlds, but
seeing that mess of pottage he lets go,
of the future for the present. Swear-
lng is profanity, hitt not the most com-
mon. To be under the sway 'of appe-
tite' Is to bo profane. What profan-
ity about us.i For a moment's sin-
ful pleasure men and women are
throwing away Innocence, happiness,
and their souls eternally. This Is
most serious, for acts are irrevocable.
2. Jacob's sunning. It was right that
Jacob should have the birthright, for
it was according to God's .plan which
had been pronounced {v. 28), but his
scheme to get it is to be condemned.
He took advantage of his' brother's
weakness to drive a sharp .bargain.
The same thing is practiced when uu
der the force of necessity unlawful in.
terest is exacted, or property Is•bought
under price because one is obliged to
sell.
To get rich at tie expense of :anoth-
er is
anoth-er.is to practice Jacob's sin. Modern
competitive business methods to a de-
cided extent are of this type. Let ea•eh
one ask: "Is my name Jacob?" The
end never justifies the means. God
said that the elder should serve the
younger. It was his plan that Jacob
should be at the head; but God was
able to bring his own plans to pass.
He did not need the scheming of Ja-
cob
acob and his mother to further his
piens. To do evil that good may come
Is always wrong.

"Do your worst, and 1 will do mine!"
she replied, defiantly: "There is no-
