Bishop Nuelsen. of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. describes in n let
ter to his home mission board a re-
cent visit to SaXony He says:
1 visited a number OF our churches
in the Industrial sections of Saxony
and had great meetings At one place
our roomy church was crowded TO
the utmost a whole hour before the
time set for the beginning Hundreds
of people had 20. turn back and we
began the meeting AN hour earlier
AT another place dozens of people
who had walked through the rain for
more than three miles had to turn
back because there was absolutely no
room. Even the altar space and the
aisles were completely filled with peo-
pie who stood there all through the
service.
Among the thousands of people that
listened to the message during the
last weeks there were many who are
out of work and there was hardly a
family but who mourncd the death of
one or more members More than 100
of our Methodist men. mostly heads
af families. hay been killed in bat
tie. many more wounded. and some
are missing. Who can fathom the
agonies of those whose husbands.
fathers. brothers are missing?
shall never forget the sad eyes
of the good Methodist woman who
told me that her husband had been
missing" for four weeks. nor the
| tone of voice of another who showed
me letter from her son, written on
the eve of a bloody battle. in which
he writes: This may be my last let :
ter" Since that he is missing" And
yet the faith of these good people
and the spirit OF utter self-abandon-
ment is simply marvellous. No wall
ing. no complaint, simply a sad mat
ter-of-fact experience
Our Methodist deaconesses are hero
ines. Aside from the many. who are
| tending the wounded in the hospitals.
there are about two dozen of our
girls on the front. Immediately be-
hind the firing line.
The few letters that have been re.
ceived from them reveal deeds of
heroism and hardships equal to the
| most renowned feats of warriors.
Think of those girls on the cold plains
of Poland, sleeping night after night
on the bare ground. counting them
selves happy when they can procure
some straw to sleep upon: being un-
able to change their clothes for three
weeks: going without food for a day
and night in succession; giving the
last morsel of bread to Il hungry SOL
der and not tasting bread for five
days: walking for miles. sometimes in
the dark of the night over muddy.
bottomless roads; being ready at any
hour, day and night. to render first
| assistance to horribly mutilated SOL
diers, at times In places where burst
ing shrapnels would endanger their
own lives. or fighting not only dis
ease but also unspeakable filth.
Truly, l never realized as much

dure and perform as I did when /

AS fades the leaf in Autumn time,
With colors beautiful and sublime,
So fades away this earthly life,
Amidst the battle and the strife.
These bodies soon must fade away,
And back to mother earth decay;
While gradually the process blends,
Until at last in death it ends
We fade away as do the leaves,
While death his countless hearts bereaves;
AS from the tree Of life we fall,
Each moment some must heed the call.
To others we must give our place,
When at the end of ife's great race
We pass away our Lord to greet,
With loved ones there whom we shall meet.
With varying colors the leaves do fade,
And gently on the ground they're laid
So each of US will fall at last,
Before deaths cold and wlntry blast.
But like the leaves we rise again,
Which truth the Bible makes SO plain;
So on that Resurrection morn,
new life in us will be born.
So may we all with prayerful heart,
Remember that soon we must depart
AS does the leaf this Autumn day,
No matter how we long to stay.
And now, dear friends, this fading leaf,
Has taught our hearts in lessons brief,
That we in time must fade and fall,
So let 1t be welcome call.
And then in realms of peace and love-
In that Celestial land above
Well never fade as leaves that fall
But find in Christ our ''ail in ALL
