Chapter LVII: St. Matthew’s Church and the War (2)

Oh, the strain! Oh, the funk that is trying to grip your very soul!

Would to God something would happen! This eternal watching is
fearful.

Then a rustle in the grass; a wave of movement first like the ripple
you hear when a stone is “skipped” on a quiet pond; then an extra
chill in the air: then a glow to the east—’Tis Dawn.

You let loose your “clip” and you fire like mad towards the Hun.
Other sentries fire, and the salvo to dawn gets the whole line.
Thousands of men all along the front start a strafe—a crazy, aimless
strafe—which lasts for only minutes. Then, as if some great unseen
General had whispered a command, men regain their “morale,” and the
rifle fire quietens, and dies away.

The sun struggles up.

A bird on a shattered stump whistles, “Coo, Coo.”

Your blood warms again. You have “felt dawn.” Another day has had
its birth. The rations will soon be up. Relief is coming. The war is
still on, and the bird has showed you that, after all, it is better
to smile than to worry.

God is still in command!

¶ Here is the plan under which many of our clients, setting aside sums as small as $10 monthly, have accumulated $5,000 and upwards with annual additions of more than $300 to their incomes.

¶ You buy through us a security of recognized merit, yielding 6% or more for municipals, 7% or more for Corporation bonds.

¶ You pay $10 a month for each $100 and are charged with 6% interest on unpaid balances but are credited immediately with the full interest on your investment, as paid.

¶ As you proceed with your payments the difference of interest in your favor increases, adding to your income, and as time goes on the purchase of one security after another brings you nearer to independence

WELL SET UP

are the men whose clothes we tailor. The fit of the shoulders is one of the strong points of our tailoring. Our work attracts attention for the elegant lines we give to this part of the Garment.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN

tailor made and ready made garments is one of cut and finish. Not stock patterns, but individual lines are used and the garment fits the wearer and not clothiers’ models.

IF you had a building which brought in to you $5,000 a year, would you have it sufficiently insured?

YOU are a valuable property, producing thousands of dollars a year and that revenue will cease at your death. Are you sufficiently insured?

_How long should a man support his wife?_

Some men say “As long as he lives.”

Most men will say “As long as she lives.”

That support can be made sure by Income Policies of the Mutual Life.
