Il last, it had statesman.
| Then the man began to be solicited for articles
by magazine editors. He studied and he wrote
He even did some thinking, Thinking made hin
observe. And observing made him wonder. And
wondering made him pause
He asked himself what he had been doing
through all those successful years With shame
| he realized that he had been speaking patitudes
and that he was himself nothing but an echo He
resolved not only to think for himself but to
| speak for himself. He would make himself
worthy OF the trust that had been given him. The
people he had long cajoled with meaningless
phrases he would try to tell the truth to and he
| would serve.
| Slowly and carefully he started At first people
did not realize the full meaning of the things he

passed before his vision When each new world
appeared he felt that all those other worlds had

time since his awakening, he had the sense of sec

he found to be mere patchwork. II there was to

All they needed was to be reminded. They had
the solution in their hearts. Now it must reach

Joyously the man went out to proclaim his dis
covcry. But to his Amusement. instead OF winning
friends it made enemies. Nearly all of the faithful
adherents fell away. At the mention of his name
they would burst into fury OF indignation. Thew
applied to him cpithcts that aroused fear and

 REAL SITUATION AT LAST

tual defeat; but the English have cor taiuly got to settle on their leaders and quit Swapping horses in the midr ele of the stream
 Personally the significance of the war is becoming more and more real to me. Yesterday learned that ono Of the few English fellows whom I had learned to love was killed in the as- sault on Hohenzollern redoubt during the English drive. Shrewsbury was fine man, a student of merit, gentle man and q Christian. Think of the 20 years he had spent in the prepara- ton for lifes work and 1t Is all over in moment Then one of my first lecturers, Captain Webster, was re- gently wounded. The freshman who sat opposite me in hall my first term, I happy go lucky Irishman, was also re- gently killed.
 "The casualties among the officers are proportionately much greater than among the privates. So it is not strange that when the former go out they never expect to return. I was talking to Marsden just before term opened. He is il tiny fellow from Lancashire. but he has a heart of gold. He was leav- ing for the front. He said he never eX- pected to get back and told me good by for good It is heart-breaking to thus see your college chums and friends go out to almost certain death. But such Is war God grant that tho time may not be far distant when such a world tragedy may become tmpos- sible.

CHRISTMAS SEALS
 ARE BEING ISSUED Packages Mailed Out to Huntsville, Mobile, Mont
 gomery and Anniston

The Alabama Anti-Tuberculosis league has begun issuing the seals for use this year. Packages have been sent to Mobile, Montgomery and Anniston The league is receiving many new of fers of service in many counties. Others are falling in.
 Plans are on foot to make a record sale this year throughout the state Il will begin on Thanksgiving Day and run till Christmas.
 In view of the vast work undertaken sby the league, and by certain local as ssociations every citizen is asked to put "a seal on all mail leaving his or her house of office during this period. .s The seal serves not only as a means of income but as an expression of sym pathy and an advertisement of the anti tuberculosis movement
 Hundreds of infected persons have been strengthened or saved by the edu- cational work alone Many more have been directly treated in the sanatoria But it is impossible to guess how many thousands have been saved from in lection by the work of local associa- tions, through their nurses and teachin g propaganda.
 The Alabama league comprises all local workers and strives to develop new lines of local work everywhere It's most pressing object now is to promote county hospitals through the new state tuberculosis commission.
 Temporary offices of the league are at 1912 Empire building.
