members out of the Guy IN Kansas ana
Missouri. One of the first to answer

M. There is no doubt in the mind OF
the officers of the battery that orders

the battery inspection by Lieutenant

tillery Monday night. Last night
there was a drill by the non-commls-
stoned officers and the four crack gun

Novelty Review.

1t was an unusual act at the Novelty

son, two Australian woodsmen put
on their tree telling stunt. THE using
of the old time crossed cut saw on
real wood, and the contest of telling
trees by the bushmen gave new IN
sight into the woodsmen's methods.
1t was an act that appealed and will
be remembered longer than most
vaudeville acts.

the monetary cost of the war to
France is averaging about SIT 900, 900

experts that eighteen or so months

duration, because of the financial con-
siderations involved? They would be
too heavy for any of the belligerents
to stand the strain for long.

Terse Comments on the Uniform

deavor, etc, for March 10: Get
ting Power From Our Pledge
Ps. 25:1-14.
Our great pledge requires great
strength in the keeping. For any 9TH

constant presence and power of an
omnipotent Saviour to make such a
VOW would be SacrilegiouS and fool
ishness. But. trusting in the Lord
Jesus Christ for strength we can
! keep even this mighty covenant
I One of the messages of Christian
Endeavor's history has been that re-
ligion is an everyday affair. The
movement has pledged young men and
women to serve Christ at the post of
daily duty. 1t has emphasized the
truth that the desk and kitchen and
forge and pillow may De as sacred as
the pulpit.
The gift of power accompanies the
gift of the Spirit.
/ The labor We spend for Christ un-
consciously works upon our own char
acter. Thus, in this service, We are
accomplishing two tasks-One in our
own self and one by our hands and
! heart. We can therefore offer him
both the deed we set out to do, and
the greater deed that has been
wrought in our own soul.
! In the service of Christ common
! lives become uncommon.
