Guns Literally Sweep The Ground.

Since the introduction OF the modern
quick-firing gun and the perfection of
"time" shrapnel and high-explosive
shells, new and scientific methods of frapid
firing have been developed in the French,
British and other armies.
When a rapid and overwhelming fire is
wanted, the range is found, and the
ground within the limits of the prescribed
area is swept from end TO end with tor
nado OF fire. In the French army this is
called rafale Ia squall or gust. II is
series OF eight rounds per gun, each two
rounds being laid 10 burst 100 yards
farther than the last, thus sweeping an
area OF say 400 yards with rain OF shrap-
mel or devastating series OF high-explo-
sive shells. Sweeping" fire is series
of three rounds per gun, one in the origi-
nal line, one TO the right, and one 10 the
left. This is also, and Significantly, call
ed moving" A further combination is
called "search and sweep"
As showing the marvellous skill OF The
French gunners, il is said that they can
fire over 20 rounds per minute or 43
rounds TO sweep an area OF 600 by 200
meters in Is seconds. rate unequaled in
any other army. The probable result OF
such fiery blast would be, in the case OF
shrapnel, that 10 per cent OF the men and
Is per cent of the horses in that area and
not under bulet-proof cover would be
hit by separate bullets.
Time was when The commander OF
battery stood near his guns and shouted
commands to his gunners. Today tile
artillery officer may be two or three miles
away, directing operations by telephone
from an observation post in view OF the
enemy's works. The observatory may
be ruined house, tree trunk, a she'll
crater, or haystack, and from this point
he observes the accuracy OF the fire OF
his battery and telephones instructions TO
the gunners in the rear, altering the range
when necessary and communicating any
enemy movements, so that the shells Sool
find NEW mark. instruments OF precis-
ion and careful calculations are, Of course,
necessary to fight battery in this man
ner, many allowances having to be made
for the differences in height, distance and
angle between the battery commander
and the guns under his charge.

The ProdigaI Girl.

We alf have heart for the prodigal boy.
Who was caught in sins mad whirl.
And we we lcome him back with songs oil Joy
But what of the prodigal girl2
For the prodgal boy there's an open door,
And fathers bounteous fare,
And though he is wretched and sick and poor,
He is sure of welcome there.
But what OF the girl who has gone aStray
Who has lost in the battle with sin ?
Say. do we forgive in the same sweet way
We have always forgiven him2
Does the door stand ajar as il TO say
Come, enter, you need not lear
I've been open thus since you went away,
Now close to the second year 2
Or do we with hand OF hellish pride
Close and bolt the door.
And swear. while heaven and earth abide
She will enter here no more 2"
Oh. Christ. il seems we have never learned
The lesson taught in the sand.
For even yet the woman is spurned
And stoned in christian land.
Down in the slough we hurl her back,
Then turn around with a SMILE
And welcome the boy from the sinful track
Though he may have been more vile.
We all have heart for the prodigal boy,
Who was caught in sins mad whirl.
And we welcome him back with songs OF Joy
But what OF the prodigal girl

To Win Battles

10 Win Battles
"You won't bring prohibition to this
state with any soft, soothing method.
Get out on the housetops and shout
In November, 1916, Michigan is go
ing dry"
This was the political method pre-
scribed by the Rev. Eli j. Forsythe
in his address in the tabernacle,
Woodward and Mclean avenues in
Detroit. More than 1000 persons ap-
plauded long and loud as he continued:
1.-THE only way to fight sin is to get
out on main street and shout where all
can hear. Sin can't fight in the open.
1t ever chooses the dark holes for its
base. l understnd that some of the
dry campaigners are talking about
soft sort of milk and water campaign.
That's not the way. Get out in the
open, shout and fight.
"Some ask me if / would allow the
women to vote. Why, I'd give woman
the ballot so quickly it would make
your head swim. If she had had
square deal, she would help to vote
Michigan dry next fall. Why shouldn't
a woman vote? Whenever / happen
to see some poor mother dragging her
children in the tabernacle, think how
much more she should be allowed to
vote than some 'whiskey-soaked bum
whose only advantage is that he
wears whiskers and trousers.
"The liquor question is certainly
more important to mothers than to
anyone else in all the world. We
read the wicked flee when no man pur-
sueth, but sin would run whole lot
faster if there was an active, united
church on the job.
"Cut out this denominationalism
which has developed to such an acute
point that the world laughs. There
is one town in Michigan that has $50
inhabitants and seven churches. Can
you imagine it? / don't think the
Lord gives two hurrahs whether
you're a Baptist, Methodist or some
thing else. Are you a Christian and
are you doing the Lords business
That's the thing.
eve needn't worry now about pre-
paredness against any earthly enemy.
What we need is preparedness to
meet God Almighty"

Today's Poem


Let Us Be Better Men
Let US be better menl
Let us find things to do
Saner and sweeter than yet,
Higher and nobler and truel
Let us be better men!
Let us begin again,
Trying all over the best we know
To climb and develop and grow.
Let us be better men!
Whether with pick or pen,
The labor we do is q work worth
while
II our hearts are clean and our
spirits smile,
And out Of the ruck and rust and
stain
We make some growth and we mark
some gain
Let US be better men!
In a world that needs so much
The loftier spirits touch
Let us grow upward toward the light
Welded to wanting to do the right
Rather than welded to human might
