TWO LINES OF REASONING

A tiffany of a French soldier" is
being widely quoted. 1t says:
1T you are behind the lines, there
is no need to worry. If you are on
the front, of two things one is cer-
tain; either you are resting in a safe
place or you are exposed to danger,
If you are resting in a safe place
there is no reason for worry; if you
are exposed to danger one ftwo
things is certain, either you are wOnd
are not wounded there is no need to
wurry; if you are wounded of two
things one is certain, either you are
wounded seriously or you are wonded
slightly. If you are wounded slightly
there is no need to worry. If you
arg wounded seriously, of two things
one is certain; either you will re-
cover or you will die. If you recov-
er, there i sno need to worry; if you
di9, you cannot worry
Much so-called philosophy Of his
VT has been Of nature to teach
the soldiers to take what is coming
to them in an optimistic frame Of
mind. The French soldiers litany
really belongs to that class of reason
ing corresponding to our American
saying, Come easy, go easy" The
reckless head / live, tils | die" phil
osophy is the sort that brings indi-
Viduals and nations to distress.
With such reasoning the French sol
der could not have thought of those
al home who were also interested in
Wlether he was exposed OF behind the
lines, or wounded or not wounded,
o. seriously wounded or not serious
ly wounded. eW read of the act of
az British lad woh fell in battle not
long ago in France. He was the heir
t. a peerage, thar of Lord Glencom-
en-. In pocket of his jacket was
found a short note, scratched on
soap of paper. The little sheet was
folded, and on the outer side was the
word Mother" The note said:
This is written in case anything
hapens to me, for | should like you
to have just little message from my
own hand. Your love for me and my
lcve for you have made my whole life
one of the happiest theer has ever
been. This sa great day for me.
High heart, high speech, high deeds,
mid honoring eyes. oGd bless you
ana give you peace"
OF the two ines of thought which
is best-that of the French soldier
whose litany is one to make him reck
less, or that of the little 19-year old
soldier whose comfort in the last hour
comes from true, self-sacrficing pa
tr.otism and whose thoughts, in the
last hour, are for the mother whose
love had made his whole life one of
the happiest there has ever been?
