; Religious Work

A snowy haired man who carried the
first relief to the stricken people of
Belgium and northern France, q fiery
eyed man who fifteen years ago ceased
his work as a widely known labor
leader and founded the Brotherhood
Federation of Great Britain, which en-
rolls 100000 men in the largest Of
mems religious movements-this man
believes the greatest religious awaken
ing ever known will follow the war in
Europe.
William Ward, broken in health from
his work in ravaged Europe and on his
way to the West Indies. where he will
| rest, spoke at Temple Lutheran church,
Fifty-second and Race streets, Phila-
delphia. He will come again next
spring to this country. He plans to
internationalize all Christian move
ments among men.
In Notwithstanding mems Christian
brotherhoods Mr.. Ward believes Phila-
delphia will become the headquarters
or the ''beehive Of activity" for this
hemisphere.
"The great generosity of the United
States, of Denmark, Sweden and Great
Britain has touched only the fringe Of
the misery on the war ridden CONT
nent," Mr.. Ward said. "And that mis-
cry will be more awful than al be
conceived when the al at last ends"
He had to wipe away the tears as he
told of his first relief expedition, which
he led to Lille. Since this twelve
brotherhood expeditions have been
made, and most Of these he has per-
sonany directed. He said, 'Old men,
women and babies-homeless, friend
less, gaunt, famished, starving; the
barbarity, the deviltry, Of war; the
summation of human m~isery-this was
what l saw when l alighted from the
train at Lille" He told of a Lille
brotherhood meeting attended only by
women-wives, sisters, daughters Of
men at the front.
They sang the old hymn l heard
Sankcy sing forty years ago in Man.
CHESTER" he said, "'Hold the Fort For
l am Coming, Jesus Signals Still,'
They sang it in sound of the guns, for
battle was raging near at hand. That
was Christianity"
Before the war, he said, chapters OF
the brotherhood in England, France,
Belgium and Switzerland had planned,
''hand in hand,' to go into Germany
and establish chapters there.
The mex ten years will witness the
greatest Christian awakening the world
has ever known. Europe will be swept
with the fires Of revival.
Thousands of pounds sterling and
thousands Of tons of food and clothes
have Deer carried to Belgium and
France by Mr. Ward. Free freight
age was the relief gift of English.
French and Belgium railways, and
British warships were furnished by
the government for shipping the relief
stores across the channel.
Although he said he was not at all
superstitious. he told Of having seen
two churches. the interiors of which
had been wiped out by shell fire, but
with golden cruci6xes standing un-
touched Upon the affairs.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO
THE 'PoSSUM HUNTERS?

What has happened to the 'possum
hunting fraternity? That is a question
that IS aEitating the minds of GER
tain citizens of this city, but more
especially that, of Colonel Sidney
Suggs.
Now, be it known that Colonel Suggs
was reared in Mississippi, where the
'possum was one Of the staple vege-
tables Of barter and trade, and in his
early youth acquired the habit for
'possum and 'taters that has clung to
him all these years, and which ap-
pears TO be growing as he approaches
nearer "the valley of the shadow"
Therefore. when a man meets him
on the street and makes a solemn
promise that he is going to bring him
two fat 'possums, properly dressed,
for his Sunday dinner and then fails
to appear with the aforesaid and the
same, the Colonel is somewhat peeved
and was heard to make few remarks
about the degeneracy Of the race, and
particularly that portion of the hu.
man family which devotes some of its
time after simmons" are ripe to
capturing the juicy quadruped that
has been vastly instrumental in max
ing that region south of the Mason
and Dixon line famous.
But to resume: One day last week,
Joe Williford, whom everyone recog-
nizes to be the 'possum king of this
state, met Colonel Suggs on the street
and informed him that by Saturday
he might expect two fat 'possums as
lrecounted above. All the week Mr..
Suggs had planned for the feast that
was TO be. and even in his dreams,
like the old darkey OF the story, could
almost upon awakening wipe the
grease from his lips. He even told
all his friends about this coming ban
Quet, and regretted that he could not
invite them, because there were to be
but two 'posusms, and everyone knows
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1916-12-17

that Colonel Suggs is not very deli
cate when it comes to 'possum and
'taters, which are the chief articles
on the bill of fare. But alas for fond
