TRENCH RAIDS
 GOOD FUR THE
 LITTLE FELLOW
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

Republican A. p. Leased W,rei
 BRITISH HEADQU UARTERS France, July 9-"Good for the little fellows" expressed the feeling of the whole army when the "Bantams" in one of the neatest of trench raids took a machine gun from the Ger mans. No commander is prouder of his men than the commander of the Bantams; no battalions so thoroughly have the good wishes of the whole army The idea of the Bantams, unique among the armies of Europe was Lord Kitcherer's. If little men wanted to fight for their country why shouldn't they. Put them in an or ganiZation by themselves and give them a chance
 No man over five feet three was ac- cepted Short men who had been | turned away hy recruiting sergeants in the early days of the new army ] formed the first battalion. As it was | success. others followed At the l front they were brigaded together; ! and the visitors to a certain portion of the lines sees sturdy short-legged men marching along the roads and 1, keeping guard in the trenches.
 ] Many jokes have been passed about them. It was even suggested that when they went into the trenches somebody would have to hold them mp to the parapet to fire. But the bantams answered that Napoleon and ! Lord Roberts were little men: and the bantams have made good. Other bat talions take fatherly interest in them and admire them for their pluck
 Instead of having to hold them UT to fire when they first went into the trenches, the difficulty was to keer them from showing their heads too much. They have the advantage oI being small targets and they are com pletely sheltered in a communication trench where another mans head would he exposed. Most of them arc

GOOD SERVICE
 AT FIRST M. [.

The Rev. G. Bromley Oxnam. who is supplying the pulpit of the First M. T.. church during the absence of Dr. R. c. Harker appeared before the congregation in his initial sermon yes terday morning Rev. Mir. Oxnam chose for his topic subject "The Three Driving Forces of Christianity" and delivered a strong forceful sermon.
 The Rev. ONnam is a. young divine of pleasing personality and an able orator and should become very popu- lar among local churchgoers. Fol lowing is the sermon:
 The mighty church of God needs cleansing as did the Temple in the days of Jesus" said Rev. MT. OK nam in his sermon yesterday morning Preaching on the subject, The Three Driving Forces of Chris tianity" he said in part:
 "The three driving forces of Chris ! tianity are love. righteousness and | Christ The kind of love that Jesus preached was concrete, q love that expressed itself in action, a love that ! found its natural continuation in good | deeds, kind words. and sunshine smiles The world is calling today for a love that does not lose itself in words. but constantly bears fruit in | action.
 | "Righteousness-The word is fight | ing strong The righteousness society needs is not the restricted sort of righteousness often preached. but a | righteousness that finds it's way into | all the activities of man. into his business. social, political and religious life. What this world needs today is a tidal wave of righteousness. The | fighting forces of the world will not 1 line up with the church of God until | the great principles of justice and righteousness shall become embodied within the lives of every member. The man who has money wrung from the blood cries of q thousand girls in the sweat shOp-that man cannot enter the doors of righteous church and stand in the presence of Christ as His servant Aye, deeper yet the man who has slipped in, cannot remain when the church is flooded with the light of righteousness. Too long have we used his money. But the money Is red, dyed in the blood of sufferers, dOubly dyed it is dyed in the black ness of hypocricy. But not only that man, the man who has received honest pay for eight hours work and has worked but seven, doing shoddy work at that. shall not enter here. The light of Gods righteousness would bind him. Too long has he lived ir the black night of cheatery. Oh that God would save us the terrible burder of carrying the unrighteous!
 "The third and greatest of the driv- ing forces of Christianity is Christ
 His personality is the dynamic force
 that enables Christian to express hi
 love in action, that enables him t'
 practice righteousness. Just as tn
 waters playing in the fountain vii
 reach no higher than the force behin'
 them is strong. just so in the Chris
 tian life will the Pilgrim gain n
 greater victories than the force be
 hind him is strong That force
 the Man of Galilee. the Carpenter O
 Nazareth, Jesus Christ The mes
 sage of the pulpit today is for me
 and women and children to embed
 within their lives love, righteousness
 and the spirit of Christ When thi
 shall have become a reality mankin

What time the yet unconquered north Pours to the wars her legions forth, For many wrong to strike blow With mailed hand at Mexico! The volunteers, An, where are they Who bade the hostile surges stay.

Where, undismayed amid the shock Of war, like Cerro Gordo's rock They stood, or rushed more madly on Than tropic tempest OCT San Juan? On Angosturas crowded field Their shattered columns scorned to yield And wildly yet defiance pealed Their flashing batteries threats: And echoed then the rifle crack As deadly as when on the track Of flying foe, of yore it's voice Bade Orleans dark keyed girls rejoice. Blent with the roar of guns and bombs How grandly from the dim past comes The roll of their victorious drums, Their bugles joyous notes, When over Mexicos proud towers Ana the 1alr valleys stOried bowers, Fit recompense for toll and scars, In triumph waved their flag of stars An, comrades of your own tried troop, Whose honor ne'er to shame might stoop, Of lion heart and eagle swoop But you alone remain;
