a soldier OF the Revolution at the age of
eighteen and served till the close of the
war of our independence. At the close
OF the war he spent few years in the
whaling and coasting service. In 1880
he emigrated to the forests of Mont
pelier, purchased and cleared up this fine
old estate. In religion he was Quaker
and was for several years preacher in
the Society of Friends CLARK Sevens
was described as "a prince in appear
ance, but a child in humility and one Of
the finest looking of men" He was a
man of supreme intelligence, and well
balanced But il was his great good
heart that made him conspicuous and
in truth he was great man.

service between East Montpelier and

ton.

side the place. You will run the rlsl;
of partial and perhaps of Il complete
disaster rs the enemy presses on.
q There is very much more than this.
A great town cannot but contain. If
YOU have long occupied 1t. the material
Of your organization. You viii proba-
bly, abandon documents which the
enemy should nos see. You will GER
tninly, III the pressure of such n fight,
lose accumulated stores. Again, the
transverse streets are so many points
of leakage" into which your congest-
ed columns will bulge out and get con-
fused. Again. you will be almost nee
essarily dealing with the complications
of mass of civilian conditions which
should never be allowed to interrupt a
military operation.
In general. to fight in front of n
great town when the chances are
against you is rs great an error as TO
fight in front of marsh with few
causeways. So far rs mere topogra.
ply is concerned, it Is a greater error
still.-From THE Elements of the
Great War;" by Hilaire Belize.

The Great Adventure

Those of us who are still young. or
of life beat strongly, still rejoice in
all the vigor of a mans prime, when
we chance upon an old man, upwards
of 20, perhaps so years, apparently
alizing that for him the summons
must soon come, frequently wonder
with what feelings such man must
regard the immediate future with its
certainty of an abrupt end We may
find enlightment and inspiration in
the words of just such man, the
venerable Lyman Abbott, 80 years
old, editor of the The Outlook, who
has just concluded a series of rem
iniscences OF his long and useful life.
1t is thus this ootogenarian calmly
faces this future:
And | look forward to the Great
Adventure, which now cannot be far
Off with awe, but not with apprehen-
sion. | enjoy my work, my home,
my friends, my life. shall be sorry
to part with them. But all my life
| have stood in the bow looking for
ward with hopeful anticipation to the
life before me. When the time comes
for my embarkation, and the ropes
are cast off, and put out to sea, /
think | shall be standing n the bow
and still looking forward with eager
hopefulness to the new world to
which the unknown voyage will bring
me"
There speaks a brave man and a
poet. For such death has no terrors.
The noble words with which he con-
cludes his autobiography recall Ten
nyscn's Crossing of the Bar:
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the
bar,
When put out to sea.
But such tide as moving seems
asleep, y
Too full for sound and foam, Us

beHndless deep -...---.--.,-~

The mental strain under which the
soldier does his work has also given
the doctors a problem more acute
than it has ever been in the past,
for no war has been waged as this
one is being, and none has presented
snch a continuous succession of hor-
rible experiences to the individual.
Indeed, it is becoming apparent that
there is a whole lot of truth in the
remark that the side with the strong
est nerves will be the side finally to
achieve victory. The doctors have
found that the working of the higher
brain centers has been so disturbed
by psychic shock that the most fam
tastic of decisions no longer causes
wonderment.-St. Adams Messenger.
The foregoing paragraph is from
an editorial article OF health and SAN
itary conditions in the European ar
mics. In this connection, and bear
ing on the same subject Is n letter
which the editor Of The Banner was
privileged to read a few days ago.
The letter was from an American
surgeon in tine Red Cross service
with the allies in northern France.
The letter was in part devoted to the
effects Of The var on nerves and on
the minds of the soldiers. In the early
part of the war the doctors were as
tonished at the number of cases OF in
sanity, especially where she'll fire was
severe. After every severe fight
number of soldiers would be found in
sane. II a bunch of German prison
ers was taking several raving man
iacs would be found among them,
showing that the condition affected
both armies. 1t was thought that a
day or two of rest and quiet would
restore these men their reason but
in many cases it did not 1t is now
determined however, after n years
war, that practically all these cases
fanally recover but it takes months
and the men once so affected cannot
return again to military duty.

GOOD ADVICE.

My advice is that you endeavor
to be honestly rich or conten;edly
poor. In the next place, look to
your health, and if you have it
praise God and value it next to a
good conscience. As for money,
neglect it net, but note that there
is no necessity of being rich, for
there be as many mseries beyond
riches as on this side Of them, and
if you have competence enjoy it
with meek, thankful heart. -lzaak
