AN INSTRUCTIVE LECTURE
Delivered by Prot. Philip n. Hembdt.
Saturday Evening, Jan. ~.

Those who attended the lecture nj the
Methodist Church, Saturday evening.
ON Wits or No Wits We're benefited
thereby, 1t was plain practical talk
by man who had made himself mas
ter of his subject. He showed by many
examples that success in life comes not
by luck or by chance, but by giving
heed to the things necessary to bring
success. Preparation for the tasks TO
be accomplished and strict honesty in
thought and act bring true greatness.
Wits are those who rightly prepare
themselves for opportunities which may
arise, and being prepared by study and
otherwise, succeed where others fail,
The lecturers advice to young and old
to give heed to the serious problems of
life ana to bring to their solution the
powers which God has given them, was
good and wholesome.

Headquarters of the Army of the
German Crown Prince in France Via,
London), Nov. 2o.-Here in the for
est of Argonne, where the German
crown prince, Frederick Wilhelm, has
his headquarters as commander-in-
chief of the fifth army, is to be found
what is probably the most remark
able fighting in all the long battle
line from the coast to Switzerland.
By special permission Of the crown
prince l was permitted to visit and
spend day within his lines. This
section of the battle line is exceed
ingly unique. In some places the
foremost German and French
trenches are within $50 feet of each
other. The main lines are separ-
ated by no more than 1900 yards
and extend through the forest in
which there has been so much des-
perate fighting.
The crown prince, smiling and
cheerful, received me at his head
quarters. While at the breakfast ia
BILE he remarked:
You will see something today you
will not find in any other section of
the theater of war"
