; dr.-ss from the sounding board was
| very distinctly heard. His enuviin'llt,
on the criticism that the I'nited States
as a neutral nation, should not have
sold ammunition to the belligerent
nations, was. that there was a law on
our statutes allowing the U. H to do
this. Now should the first efforts of
peace abiding citizens l^e to annul
this law? It seems to me these ammu-
nitions had better he kept at home
until we are ready to disarm.
l'lx-President Tnft Is touring the
South in the interest of the V. M. C.
i A. and the army cantonments. Tho
life of the usual soldier Is well order-
ed and full for each day, with the
diversion consistent with their duties,
on a visit to the ward of convalescent
soldiers at the Base Hospital, 1
found tho soldier boys eager to solve
the problem of the cause of and the
ultimate conclusion of what this win
means. In every boy's view you see
the tendency to serve his country as
a Christian soldier, as a duty as they
see It without malice that so often
ae.cenuates the war spirit. It was my
privilege lo stand by the bedside of
nearly fifty soldier patients. In one
afternoon and discuss these topics
with them and also add a word of
cheer now and then and when tin
evening shades of life fall, I shall
want no dearer memory than of that
afternoon. when I clasped their
hands In motherly sympathy. In the
I February issue of "The American.
I Harold Hell Wright writes, "Tie
Sword of Jesus." This article was giv-
en Inn by an officer at Camp Travi .
exp11 -sing his Interest. The article of
course is forceful, coming from tie
iien of one so popular and prominent
land shows deep conviction but Is it
'riot the conviction of militarism? Did
Lcbrlst come to bring the sword to
flirht literally or to prick the con
science of mankind with the sword of
the spirit which Is the Word of Hod
And so this War has already resolved
Itself into the proposition Am I a
Soldier of the Cross?

prices. All A-1 spall of mules thai may
