DEVOTED HIS TO GOOD WORK
Devout Little Johnny Would Give His
Penny to Buy Bibles for
Poor Kids.

The little visitors at Aunt Mary's
were Helen, age six, and John age
four. They played keeping grocery
under the piano, envelopes, books and
other articles representing the stock
in trade. They took turn about as
grocer and customer. The grocer bore
the name of Mr.. Popcorn.
"Mr. Popcorn" said Helen, have
you any rabbits this morning?"
"Yes'm," answered the polite grocer.
"Are they nice and fresh?"
"Yes'm."
Then you may give me a good, big
fat one for Is cents"
During lull in the grocery trans
actions Aunt Mary gave each of the
visitors two cents-two cents In real
money.
And what are you going to do with
the money!" asked Aunt Mary.
I'm going to put my two pennies in
the bank" said Helen.
And l." said John, "T'll buy candy
with one penny"
"And what will you do with the 9TH
er penny"
And John, who has been impressed
by the missionary talks at Sunday
school, answered: I'm a-goin' to give
it to buy Bibles for poor kids" -Provi-,

Quoted" After giving holy communion
to 200 officers and men within a mile
OF the German lines, in schoolroom
the roof of which had been taken off
by a shell, he was told at the end of
the service $50 men and officers from
other regiments were outside asking
for their Easter communion.
Guns were booming hard by and
British aeroplanes were circling like
guardian angels over the service to
guard the attractive target of 1000
men and officers with the Bishop of
London in the middle.
1T made a scene that was very i'm
pressive," said an eyewitness.
France is not alone in its fighting
priests. Reports at the Vatican on
October 9 indicated that there were
$4,000 ecclesiastics serving with the
Belgian, French and Austrian armies.
Russia contributed several thousand
priests and Germany has several thou
sand pastors in it's ranks.
In fact, so great is the number of
priests engaged that Emperor William,
acting on petition of Cardinal Hart
mann Of Cologne, ordered that French
Catholic priests who entered the ranks
as French soldiers and were taken
prisoners should be treated in the
same manner as French soldiers.

IN ARMIES
Thousands Are Serving With the
French Forces.
Fight 6raVely, and Their Presence is
Great Encouragement to the
Soldiers-Many Pastors in
the German Ranks.

Since the middle ages, when bishops
and priors rode at the head of their
troops, every war has had its clergy
men fighting as warriors. The great
war now going on in Europe has thou
sands Of priests and clergymen fight
Ing in the ranks as privates.
1t is stated on definite authority that

bers 10000. They are in three classes
-combatants, priests exercising only
their sacred functions, and those act.
ing as stretcher bearers. In the first
six weeks Of war no less than 219
priests were proposed for the Legion
of Honor; the military medal" was
won by more than twice that number,
and still larger number was men,
toned in the orders of the day."
Nine and half months of war have
increased the number of medal win
ners, those mentioned for bravery and
those who are to lie in the quickly
formed grave until the last trump
shall sound.
In a railway terminus among the
wounded one man seemed to be very
greatly alarmed.
rs there priest here?" he asked
the nurse. 81 want a confessor very
badly"
A soldier lying near by, hearing the
request, said: Nurse, l am a priest;
can give him absolution. Carry me
to him."
The priest was in much pain and
MORALLY wounded. The nurse hest
tated. She knew the ebbing strength
of the dying priest. The priest read
her mind.
you are of the faith and you know
the price of soul. What is one more
hour Of life compared with that?"
Tenderly the priest was carried to
the bedside of the dying soldier. The
confession occupied but brief time,
but when the time came to give abso-
luton he had to say to the nurse.
Help me To give the sign"
The nurse held the quivering arm,
but the priest and penitent died hand
in hand few minutes afterward.
How the work of clergymen in war
is conducted may be seen from what
happened when Maj. Gen. Hubert l.
w. Hamilton died ON the field.
General Hamilton was standing with
group in a covered place." the officer
writes, when a shrapnel shell burst
100 yards away. A bullet pierced
General Hamilton's temple and he
was killed on the spot. No other mem
Der Of the group was scratched.
1T was a fine death, but l know
how the general would have felt to be
taken before his work was done.
THE funeral service was held while
shells were bursting all around. The
din was SO great that the chaplain's
voice was drowned"
According to Right Rev. Arthur
Wilmington Ingram, bishop of Lon
don, who went to the British front to
hold Easter services, it was the most
touching service that he had ever con-

Patriotism Makes Her Wealthy.

Patriotism Makes Her Wealthy.
The other day an old woman came
into bank in Prague and handed to
the clerk an antique savings book,
which showed a credit OF $4S. She
asked whether this would serve for
the war loan, since she had no other
money. She explained that this book
was left by will to her mother. who,
dying, gave 1t to her.
Anyhow" she added timidly, II
would like 80 much to help little
bit"
The clerk took the book and disap-
peared- After a while he came back
and with him his superiors. including
even the president Of the bank. And
then they broke 1t gently to her that
the book dated since 1886 and that
therefore the $4s amounted now. with
compound interest. to about $4,000.
Without her patriotism she would
never have known how rich abe was.
