were made by MIR. Thompson from
South Portland, a visiting member Of
the 9. A. f. Mr.. Thompson was a
comrade Of the late Albert H. Frost,
for whom the local post and corps are
named and was present at the battle
of Gettysburg, where Mr.. Frost met
his death and with other comrades he
assisted in the burial Of Mr.. Frost on
the battlefield.
Mr. Thompson said that when he
heard Of the taking up OF the remains
of Mr.. Frost and the re-burial at
Winthrop there had been in his mind
doubt whether the right grave upon
the battlefield had been found and if
it were really Mr. Frost who had been
brought back to his native town, but
enquiries from the men who assisted
in the removal and their description
Of the grave had set his doubts at rest.
This little personal anecdote by the
comrade of the brave and honored SOL
dier was very interesting TO his hear

(By the Religious Rambler)

For several months there has been
quietly spreading in this country and
abroad q new movement that aims
at world peace and new fraternity be-
tween the warning nations. 1t is not
merely one more peace plan. In
stead, 1t lays down a religious basis
so fundamental that many active
Christians feel toward it as conven-
tional churchmen must have felt to-
ward the basis laid down by Francis
of Assist.
The promoter of the Fellowship in
America is DR.. Henry 7. Hodgkin, a
British Friend, long a missionary in
China, and one of the influential
| figures at the Edinburgh Worlds
Missionary Conference. He is q
member of that body's Continuation
Committee" which is sort of high
court of Professionalism, and of the
Worlds Christian Student Federation
DR.. Hodgkin has lately spent two
months in this country, enlisting AM
orleans in the Fellowship. 1t is known
that many men and women of nation
al prominence have united with DIR
Hodgkln, but the movement purposely
abstains from the use of a list o1
names. There is no effort being made
for what is called "a large inactive
membership" Headquarters have
been opened at 125 East Twenty
Seventh street, New York City.
Accepting a Law of Love
The story of the formation of the
Fellowship of Reconciliation in this
country is best told in the words ot
one of its own active men: This steI
has been taken by a group of mer
and women following a two-day con,
ference recently held at Garden City
Long Island. Those who attended
the conference, though representing
various faiths, were drawn together
by a common feeling that the time
was ripe for a deeper Interpretation
of the Christian Message. They were
| distressed not only over the tragedy
of the war but over many present so,
cial conditions, as well, and were dis.
turbed by the confused utterance Of
churches and Christian leaders. After
the most serious consideration ot
what was involved, the conference ex.
pressed its conviction that love as re.

Cincinnati. o., Feb. 1o--The Cincin-

considering it's proposal to invite the
Illinois Athletic clubs star athletes to
come here for the associations mod
ern Olympic games at the armory
February 81. Since the announce
ment that the famous Chicago ath-
letes wanted to come to Cincinnati
the Y. M. c. A. has received storm
of protests from local athletes.
II think it is an injustice to bring
a body of men Of national reputation
here to compete in our carnival"
writes one athlete. IF the Illinois
club sends such men as Joe Ray,
George Burgess, H. Franz, O'Donnell,
Schriver, Bond, Parker, Noonan, Rich
ards, Ahern, Koehler and Brodt here,
I doubt If any of the local clubs will
win one of the local events"
This is the first time that local
athletes have openly protested against
inviting Chicago men.
