There was great decrease in the
customary railway crowds of civilians
visiting their homes for family re-
unions. but almost the usual number
of trains was running. The cars We're

thousands of volunteers from the
training camps and a considerable
contingent from the continent had
two or three days for a holiday at
their homes. and the whole country
seemed to swarm with uniforms.
London run Of Soldiers.
London was full Of soldiers. Con-
spienous among them were several
thousand Canadians from Salisbury
plains. Christmas in London Is Sab
bath-like because all the theaters are
closed and the hotels and public
houses keep Sunday hours. The few
hours Of daylight. however, were al
most brief. which is a rarity In an
English winter. and the soldiers and
sailors appeared to find amusement
in tramping the streets and the parks
from the fashionable west end to the
suburbs.
Family parties taking ain afternoon
stroll. generally had youth in khaki
or blue as the central object. escort
ed by admiring relatives. Dinner in
the big hotels was notable for the
presence of the military and an un-
usual feature was the presence of
men in non-commissioned uniforms,
even privates mingling with officers.
Christmas Presents Plentiful
All ranks of the troops at the front
and in the home camps were loaded
down with presents. Princess Mary's
fund for Christmas gifts amounted to
nearly sS00 00e. while there were nu-
merous funds for tobacco. puddngs
and ofher hIxuries raised by newspa-
uers and societies.

One way to Master Your Dificulties.

One Way to Master Your Difficulties
In the February Woman's Home Com
panion, Charles Il. Jefferson, pastor OF
Broadway tabernacle in New York City
writes an entertaining and helpful arti-
Gle entitled "The Uses of Biography" in
which he shows how study of the lives
of the great Is of practical use to the
individual. Following is an extract:
Life everywhere has a tendency to
become monotonous and sordid. We all
fall into foolish ways of thinking and
unhealthy ways of feeling, and we need
the healing touch of lofty souls. Fortu-
nately for us, such souls are always
within our reach. We may live in a
city, or in q hamlet, or in an isolated
farmhouse among the mountains or on
the plan, but no matter where we are
We can when evening comes sit down
and commune with the immortals. The
homes of the upper four hundred may
be closed to us, but we are always at
liberty to dine with the kings and
queens OF history. 1t is amazing that
so many men and women throw away
their opportunities to walk and talk
with the great. If It be true that man
is known by the company he keeps,
then there is many person who has
reason to be ashamed of himself. A
book is nothing but man or woman,
and if one invites into his home fashy
and trivial and vulgar writers-the
scrapegraces and dabblers of literature
he indicates by his choice the manner of
person he is. Evil company doth cor,
upt good manners" as Paul reminded

WASHINGTON'S WISH
MAY BE FULFILLED
Provides for $500,000 for a

Washington, Feb. 27--George Wash
ington's wish, expressed in his will, that
university of the United States be
established in the District of Columbia,
may be. fulfilled by bill introduced by
Senator Dillingham; of Vermont.
The bill provides for the incorporation
and establishment of such university
in the District of Columbia "to provide
the facilities for the higher and the high
est possible instruction in the sciences,
arts, and letters" to provide the amplest
facilities for research and investigation,
and, in short, to create great national
university which shall stand at the head
of the educational system OF America.
Various bills on this subject have been
introduced in the past. This bill is in
tended to be an Improvement on all pre-
vious measures. 1t represents the prod
uct of much thought and conference
among senators interested in education
and among educational leaders through
out the country.
The sum of not over 100000 is APP
propriated to procure grounds and erect
the necessary buildings. The sum of S5,-
1000 is set apart as fund.- the income
from which may be annually used fos
the university.
President Wilson, being an educational
man himself, is expected to help along
the movement. In the past the move
ment has suffered because only a small
group in Congress could be interested in
IL. Now its promoters believe the time
is ripe for action.

BARNES COUNTY GIRL
Welded IN ENGLAND

1t is rather unusual to read news of
Barnes County people in English pa
pers but the marriage of Miss Sadie
Shaw formerly of Hastings which was
chronicled in the western Morning
News" of London, will, we think, be of
general interest as the father, Vernon

An interesting little ceremony took
place at the London office of "The

when A. A. Moyes, a member of the
London editorial staff, was presented
with a wedding present, consisting of a
handsome case of silver fish knives and
forks and case of silver fish carvers,

SPECIAL UNION MEETINGS

Reverend w. J. Wright was born of
Scotch-Irish stock in the Western part
Of Pennsylvania. His early life was
about the same as that of most boys
brought up on farm. AS soon as he
had finished the high school, he en-
tered Bethany College at Bethany,
West Virginia from which institution
he graduated with honors. It is relat-
ed yet in that old college village that
lively bunch of youngsters held lead.
ership there during his student days,
and that he was very prominently iden-
titled with them. He enjoys joke, a
good story, human companionship, and
although slightly crippled from boy
hood, enjoys outdoors sports. Shortly
after graduation, he was married to
jeanette Harris and has been a sue
cessful pastor at Mt. Healthy, Wash
ington, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Enid
and Franklin, Indiana. During his va
cations, he has conducted evangelical
services in almost every state in the
union and since he has become regu-
lar pastor has been Obliged to deny
dozens Of calls for this form of SER
vice every year. The Valley City meet
ing is the only one he will conduct this
year. He was born in a section of our
country that has been the center of re-
ligious enthusiasm for several Of the
larger denominations and was in close
acquaintance with the leaders in the
religious reform for which his church
stands. It is essentially and az
excessively evangelistic. He likes to
tell the old, old story in every varying
new ways. Two things keep him from
the career of an evangelist; His love
Of family and his belief in the greater
opportunity of the pastorate and the
more enduring results Of work in that
relation. The meetings under the
leadership Of Mr.. Wright will be held
in the Armory beginning the fourth of
March and continuing for three weeks.
