cooperating With Slough Campaign
Editor, the independents:
Dear Sir:-Since my Christian ex-
perience l have heard some wonderful
sermons which have stirred me to great
enthusiasm to live closer to God but
since the Slough campaign | have
learned many things which help me to
live still closer.
Oh, how our eyes have been made
to see the wonderful mysteries of God!
How we have been made to see our up.
risings and our downfalling! Yes, some
have seen theirs to such an extent
that they began to knock at DIR. Slough,
as though he did it, forgetting that
God was back of it all.
A dog never bowls until he is hit.
So it is with so many people. They
can It stand it when God uncovers their
sins, so they begin to knock and say
all manner of things about him. L
have been hit and awful hard, too, and
when l found the shoe fit me | put it
on, and it wasn't too large or too
small. And thanks be to God for it.
then is when | found myself wanting
and went to God and got right with
him.
Remember brother, sister, you are
fighting against God and his work, and
some day you must face God with i'll
You must answer for the deeds done
in the body. When we begin to knock
and knock it only reveals what is in
our own heart
Why my friend, you are uncovering
your own sins. Are you so blind to
the facte Wake up brother, sister!
Cleanse you, and make you clean, and
then only can you see to pull the mote
out of your brothers. eye.
DR.. Slough is man sent here, not
only through my prayers, but many 9TH
ers, and | want to thank him from
the depth of my heart for every word
he spoke from the platform, His life
and the lives of the party have been an
inspiration to ME. May God bless them
in their noble efforts!
THANKFUL.

DAY COACHES FOR

Mass Meeting Held at College and Com

for Assisting Europe's War-Strick-

Chambersburg, Dec. 9.-Further plans
for the relief work for the war suf.
ferers which was begun when o generous
supply of garments was collected by
the students and sent on the Jason, have
been launched at Wilson College. A
mass meeting of the students and fac
ulty was called yesterday to hear the
recommendations of the committee
drawn from the Christian Association
and Consumers League which has been
considering Wilson s opportunity and
Wilson duty in connection with the
relief work.
Three committees, on sewing, knit
ting, information and finance, were ap-
pointed. The committee will organize
the work which is to cntinue through
the year, though especial emphasis is
to be laid upon the necessity of active
interest now. The need Of the Belgians,
the organized means of supplying their
needs, and various means through self
denial, open to every student, by which
Wilson College as a community can
bring aid, were discussed.
If fewer parties are given, fewer
sundaes consumed, if day coaches in
stead of parlor cars are ridden in as
the students start out on their Christ
mas vacations, and if box lunches are
taken instead Of meals in the diner, it
was suggested that at least $3.50 may
be saved by these few forms of self
denial.
The number of students in the organ
department of the department of mu-
sic has increased more than eighty per
cent. this year. Five organ pupils held
positions as church organists. On De-
cember 5, DR.. Samuel McCune Lind

return to college after New Years. This amount,
together with the generous donations of gar
ments already made by the young women, would
constitute very material contribution for the
Belgians.
To give up Pullman seats, dining car luneheons,
sundaes and parties doubtless constitutes no small
sacrifice, but it is practical form of self-denial
that can be adopted by college and school girls
generally without imposing any actual hardship
on them.

WILSON COLLEGE GIRLS SELF DENIAL

= The girls of Wilson College, Chambersburg
moved by sympathy for the Belgian war sufferers
(have decided on plan Of selfdenia to raise funds
Tor the cause which can be adopted with practical
results in the form of dollars and cents by the
girls of other colleges of the country who may be
equally eager to relieve the distress in the stricken
kingdom across the seas.
The Wilson College plan is one that is designed
to be put into effect just at this time of year when
the students are preparing to return to their homes
for the Christmas holidays, and we give it special
publicity in the hope that it may be adopted by
the girls OF other colleges and boarding schools.
The plan announced at big mass meeting of
the Wilson girls and includes the suggestion that
when they go home for the holidays they ride in
day coaches instead of Pullman cars and that they
take box lunches with them instead of buying
costly meals in the dining ears. The idea, of
course, is to give the money thus saved to the
colleges Belgian fund. The further suggestion
was made that the girls eschew sundaes and sim
liar delicaeies dear to all young women, and that
they hold fewer parties during the time they are
at home in the Yuletide
1t was estimated at the meeting that by the plan
suggested fund of $3.50 could be raised by the
Wilson girls between and the time for their

CHILD'S PLAY IN WAR

The belligerent nations are doing their worst to
harm one another's commerce, and have been maxi
ing foolish moves in that direction. Many
of the reprsals and embargoes of recent months
have been little less than child s play The gov
ernments at war now beginning to find out that
they cannot hurt the commerce of their opponents
without harming their own industries, so interde-
pendent are the peoples of Europe for their neces-
sites.
Not so long ago. when Germany and Austria
Hungary feared that their sugar might reach Great
Britain, and sweeten the food and drink of their
even to neutral countries. Then the sugar growers
and merchants raised a cry, because they had more
sugar on hand than they could dispose of in the
local markets, and too much sweetness was sicken-
ing.
The German government accordingly relaxed to
the extent of permitting sugar to be shipped to
neutral countries. Then, Notwithstanding the pro-
hbition by the government of the Netherlands
against the export of the German sugar from that
country, the sugar began to find its way to Great
Britain, and the Englishmen were indirectly paying
money to the German merchants
Of course the British government could not stand
for that, so they prohibited the import of sugar
from Holland. Yet Holland send the product
to this country to relieve dependence on Cuba,
and Cuba can then supply Great Britain, and Great
Britain will only be spiting itself by causing the
delay.
There is but one logical reason that we can think
of why England does not want sugar from Europe.
We know nothing, of course about the composition
OF the sugar, but we notice that when a house was
ralded IN Rotterdam the other day from which men
were exporting cocoa to begerent countries, there
was found sawdust in great quantity, which had
been helping to make up the cocoa

BRUMBAUGH AND THE ORGANIZATION

When GovernOr-elect Brumbaugh returned yes
terday to Philadelphia, after his southern trip in
which he got a good rest following his vigorous
political campaign, he indicated, according to a
Philadelphia morning newspaper, that he is not
going to start fight with the leaders of the Re-
publican Organization, at least for the present.
DR.. Brumbaugh, moreover, discreetly silent on
the subject of the identity of the he will select
for his cabinet and he let it be known that he will
not announce his selections until next month"; or
when he assumes office.
DR.. Brumbaugh assumes a sane attitude in max
ing up his mind to come to the capitol without a
chip on his shoulder. He evidently is not coming
here determined to be at odds with the leaders of
the party that made his election possible simply
because they constitute the leaders of an organi-
cation" He was quoted as saying Organization
is necessary to all things. Without organization no
results could be accomplished
DR.. Brumbaugh, by his campaign utterances, has
pledged himself to accomplish something. He has
promised certain necessary reforms. He can ac-
complish far in this direction by working in
harmony with the organization so long as the or
ganization shows disposition to help him do what
is right; so long the organization honestly and
earnestly endeavors to help him carry out the
party's platform pledges to the letter and in the
spirit in which the public accepted them. So long
as the organization does that there need be no
quarrel between DR.. Brumbaugh and the party
leaders
There is nothing on the surface thus far to indi-
cate that the organization plans to thwart Dr.
Brumbaugh in what we believe to be his honest in
tention to do what the party promised. If the
organization does undertake to prevent the fulfill
ment of those pledges then it will be time for Dr.
Brumbaugh to fight and fight hard.
