An old copy of "Asia" contains an exceptionally interesting description of Bolshevik loader, written by Mioissage J.

Lenin is not of the proletariat, knowing it as he does, he framed a programme which would appeal to it.

PRESIDENT WILSON SAYS:

"And when you give it, gire absolutely - all that you can spare, and don't consider yourself liberal in the giving. If you give with self-adslation, you are not giving at all, you are giving to your own vanity but if you give pntil it hurts, then your heart-blood goes into it."

has been said that St. Andrew's Society is allocating too much of the War Bond Drawing recepta to War Charities. Just think for a minute of the War and not of the Drawing; think of the tragedy beyond words which is being enacted on the battle front think of the vast relief organisation and the money that is needed to upbold it, and think of your own duty in the matter. No, we are not giving too much powe are not giving enough.
