EDITH CAVELL

THE world has never forgiven the
burning of Joan Of Arc.
4 The world will never forgive the
murder of Edith Cavell by the German
government.
It will be long before the thinking, feel
ing people of the world will even recover
from the sickening sense of shock caused
by the story of her shooting. 1t will be
long before there will be any answer to
the question "How could the Germans do
this thingp'
Edith Cavell was not even convicted of
being a spy.
She had tealed wounded soldiers, Ger
man as well as others, and some who were
counted as prisoners Of war, she had helped
to escape.
But she had not done the work of spy
in the credited sense-and the work she
had done as nurse had been wholly help
full and humane and wonderful.
Will the world never grow away from
the age of crucifxion?
Must those who follow the teachings of
Christ and His work for humanity always
suffer His death?
There has been nothing more horrible
among all the horrors of the past year
than the execution of this woman.
Germany can make no reparation-that
is one of the hopeless conditions of this
dreadful deed.
Every effort Germany may make to JUS
tify her act must fall futilely and fruitless-
ly upon the current of public opinion.
There is nothing, not even the paltry
excuse that the woman had been guilty
of the violation of a military law, which
can justify this breaking of the law of
Christianity which is bigger and broader
and more basic than any man-made law
ever written.
The sex of the victim has no place in
this feeling of utter condemnation by the
unlocking world. Had man done the
work Edith Cavell had done for the wound
ed of all armies, he should have received,

A teller isn't mean,

His thoughts are mostly good and clean
Out fshin';
He doesn't knock his fellow men,
Or harbor any grudges then;
A feller's at his finest when
Out fshin';
The rich are comrades to the poor,
Out fshin';
All brothers of a common lure,
Out fshin';
The urchin with the pin an string
Can chum with millionaire an king;
Vain pride is forgotten thing

A teller gifts a chance to dream,
Out fshin';
He learns the beauties of a stream,
Out fshin';
An he can wash his soul in air
That isn't foul with selfish care,
An relish plain an simple fare
Out fshin';
A teller has no time for hate,
Out fshin';
He isn't eager to be great,
Out fshin';
He isn't thinkin thoughts of pelf,
Or goods stacked high upon shelf,
But he is always just himself,
