And when the centurion heard it, he went to the chief captain and told him, say* ing, What art thou about to do? for this man is a Roman. And the chief captain came and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? And he said, Yea. And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained 1 this citizenship. And Paul said, But 1 am a ROMAN born.” This was nearly two thousand years ago. Paul boast ed of his citizenship. He was “a Roman born”. We are born citizens of the United States, the great est nation that the world has ever seen. Are we also proud of our citizenship ? Do we value it for what it is worth ? Our country is calling on us to subscribe for Liberty Bonds. Are we doing our part? The banks of Eugene have arranged so that any stu dent can purchase a $50.00 Liberty Bond by paying $5.00 down and $5.00 a month for nine months there after. These bonds are the best security in the world. Every student should own a bond or at least have an interest in a bond. If you belong to a fraternity or sorority and do not feel able to meet the cost of a bond yourself, see that your society purchases a bond and that you have an interest in that bond. In future years it will be a pleasant memory to you that you have helped in this national crisis.
