in while you strike soldier who
has seen something and can tell
about it. He is the twentieth man.
With the others everything is iunl-
bic of yells and explosions and rum
ming and falling and awakening in
hospitals. A captain with a frac-
tured thigh in hospital here was
one of the lucid ones. Said he:

vance everybody knew the assault
Was to begin at s:i5. The artillery
preparation had been wonderful and
the men were really impatient to
get away. You can't blame them
either, for 1t is no fun holding your
hands and waiting for a thing like
that
Some of them lighted cigaretts
which they rolled themselves with
fingers that didn't tremble a parti-
Gle. Some lighted their pipes two
minutes before the charge. There
was a little joshing but the noise OF
the cannonade discouraged talk.
Looking down the line saw my
lieutenant drawing on his white kid
gloves He was very young and this
was to be his first charge He want
ed TO do it properly, in Saint-Cyrian
style Had been close enough l
would have ordered him 10 take
them off. Hundreds of Saint-Cyrian
cadets were moved down at the
beginning because they insisted on
wearing white gloves. 1t was the
marriage OF youth and war and
the grooms must need be gioyed.

2. He is terribly in earnest, and all
the world likes that quality also
though it is unfortunately trifle too
scarce.
3. His methods, language, gestures,
facial expressions, all his actions, are
strikingly spectacular; in truth, he is a
whole circus in himself, and four
ringed circus at that! This cause alone
would make him draw, for everybody
likes to be amused.
A. In speech he is graphic-he talks
pictures-and is witty, dealing much in
terse, barbed epigrams, which common
ly pierce tn the marrow of the ques-
ton, and serve a more serious purpose
than to stir to laughter only. These
keen barbs together with his peppery
criticism, he bestows impartially on
down-and cutters, and on D. DIS and
bishops, on sinners in silks and broad
broadcloth, not less than on sinners in
faded coats or drab dresses-an another
quality all men applaud.

into his 10000, electrical energies, till
he becomes an irresistible dynamo of
spiritual power.
This same phenomenon was shown in
the case of the great Whiteield who
stirred all classes with a power none
could resist. The critical Franklin
tells In his autobiography how he
came with the determination not to be
carried away like the vulgar crowds,
and yet he too succumbed, re-
solving to give, as he says, first few
coppers, then his small silver, till quite
swept off his philosophical feet, he
ended by emptying his whole purse into
the collectors basket!

WILLIAM A. SUNDAY

PILLY Sunday, 1.-THE baseball evan
gelist" is the most notable revi-
valist that has appeared in America
since Moody.
He has addressed many thousands in
the big cities throughout this country;
and it is said good results have always
followed his labors, such as wide and
deep reformations in public and private
manners and morals.
One of the conceded tests of the
genuineness of the Wesleyan converts
in that second Reformation of the
eighteenth century, was the fact that
they began paying their old debts!
They say Sundays converts are also
doing that! It's tough on our human
nature to say that the highest test of
mans religion is that it goes so deep
as his pocketbook!
They also say that hosts of drinking
men, touched by Sundays fiery words,
abandon their cups, and that in his
wake he leaves closed saloons by the
score! In fact, that his preaching has
aroused the bitter hostility of the gin
mills and of the liquor interests gener-
ally.
His coming to Denver and Pittsburg,
cleansed their Augean civic and politi-
cal stables as though some moral Her
cules had passed that way! Now he
is attempting his biggest task to re-
form Philadelphia which city, perhaps
comes as near being Satanic headquar-
ters as any in the Keystone state unless
it be Harrisburg during a session oi
of the Legislature.
They have built him a huge wooder
tent seating 20, 200 where on last Sun
, day in his three addresses he spoke tC
so, 900 peoplel He captured those vas
t throngs, disarming as he usually does

THAT GERMAN 'sKULTUR"

MYTH barbaric ruthlessness the
" the Germans have already de-
molished dozen or more of the finest
Cathedrals in Europe, some of them
with wanton malicicusness "a Ong
others, that artistic marvel of Gothic
architecture whose beauty is hallowed
with the historical associations of the
centuries, Notre Dame at Rheims.
We have heard much about these
German protagonists of the new, ''Kul-
tur" which they boasted was to uplift
and enlighten mankind meanwhile it
conferred upon their only worthy race
universal dominion. But alas the
burning of churches, in which this novel
''Kultur, of higher civilization seems
to specialize; the needless sacking of
cities, towns and villages; the lombard
ment of defenceless cities whereby in
nocent women and children are slaugh-
tered wholesale; the dropping of bombs
upon sleeping thousands of non-combat-
ants-these, and other like barbarities,
have signally failed to convert skepti-
cal world to this new TeutOn gospel of
''blut und eisen."
The latest laurels these brave war
riors have won was in shelling three
coast towns in England wherein they
killed few dozen peaceful citizens, IN
cluding number of women and children
whose heads, we read, "were knocked
off'') and the pounding into yet greater
ruin that ancient landmark, the Abbey
of Whitby But somehow this 'tfaith-
less generation and that includes

-ifails to be convinced Of :he beauty of
the Lew gospel by these Illustrations of
its workings.
IF Italy follows Portugal in aid of the
allies, Rome may count on seeing St.
Peter's come tumbling about the Pope
head when the Germanic hordes gel
there.
Indeed, Gen. Edelsheim, member Of
the Kaiser's War College, has also, like
Bernhard, written book showing how
Uncle Sam may be given a taste of this
''made in Germany" evangel of BLOOD
and iron.
