THE AWFUL TOLL
OF DEATH IN WAR
Spreads a Shadow Over
Warning Countries.
MANY DEATHS OF THE HEART
Broken BygFearful Strain In
Homes Made Sad BY
BereavementS.
TIME NOW FOR BRAVE HEARTS


In countless homes throughout
Europe are heard lamentation and
bitter weeping. Millions yea,
hundreds of millions-refuse to be
comforted because their loved ones
have gone down into the Valley of
the Shadow of Death, from which
many will never return. Husbands,
fathers, brothers, sweethearts have
said good-by, and to millions per-
haps il will be earth's last good-by
to all that they hold dearest, to all
| that is more priceless to them than
all material things. On many a
battlefield the Grim Reaper will take
his heavy toll. Thousands perhaps
a million or more, Will die in
awful suffering without any loving
hand to ease the pangs of torture,
while many other millions will be
maimed for lfe-some with limbs
shot away, some with eyesight gone,
some doomed to agony as long as
| life lasts.
! When our loved ones pass from
us after everything that science can
suggest has been done to lengthen
| their stay and ease their pain, we
bow before the awful visitor, Death,
and with burdened hearts and bow
| Il ha N
abiding faith in that eternal life
beyond the grave, take up lifes
work again But on the battlefield
the dying, torn and shattered by
the awful power of the weapons
! that mans ingenuity has furnished
for killing man, must suffer the
tortures of agOnies of pain amid the
horrors of the dead and the dying
all around them.
For every death of the body on
these battleiields there are many
deaths of the hearts broken by the
| fearful strain and the overwhelming
sorrows of mothers and wives and
sisters and sweethearts and other
loved ones who will go down to the
grave with bitter weeping. unable to
find comfort in any thought of ten
der ministrations or last words of
love and hope of meeting beyond
the grave.
This war, so unspeakably unnec-
| .f,,I IL,
incomprehensible in any real reason
for its existence, ought surely to
give pause to the nations of the
earth, and men and women ought
/ everywhere to unite in prayer that
in some way its fearful march be
halted and in some way peace be
brought back to Europe and tens of
millions be made to rejoice that
their loved ones are to be saved
from the useless sacrifice which has
already cost so many lives and
broken so many hearts. And surely
1--we should pray that this country
may forever be saved from any spirit
or war. and that its people and its
officials may forever remember that
soft answer turneth away wrath,
and that the world is to be conquer
ed not by might but by right. Worth
less is the commerce and the wealth
of the world when weighed in the
balance against death and broken
hearts.
Peace hath her victories no less
renowned than war, and the victories
of peace lift mankind to higher
life; they bring JOY instead of sor-
row to every heart and home. Well
may this nation and every other on
Bonded knees pray that peace may
soon come to Europe. and that we
shall forever be known as peace
loving and peace-preserving nation.
