To Fathers and Mothers.

The call for our boys has come, and
may we haye the strength and faith of
Abraham who when called to take his
son Isaac and go into the mountains
andt here offer him as burnt offering.
With a heavy and aching heart, he
obeYed, trusting IN that God who had
never failed him. Up and up he climb
ed. The way was rugged and steep
but never faltering because his duty
was to obey. The top at last was
reached, and all things were made
ready and l imagine as we bid our sons
obey the call and go, so Abraham felt
as Isaac said, Father, where is the
lamb for burnt offering?" What but
faith in great and loving Father could
answer in time like that. God in his
wisdom had prepared an offering and
the boy was saved. Our hearts are
heavy with the weight of sorrow as we
bid our boys obey and march them off
to this awful, hellish war. But let US
have that faith of Abraham that stood
the test of ages and brought him to the
highest pinnacle of faith. We will find
him who gave his own beloved Son that
we through him might live, IN some
mysterious way his wonders to perform,
has prepared sword of peace and love
to conquer the world and our boys will
be returned to US unframed.
A MOTHER.

A JOYOUS FAREWELL.

All hail to our soldier boys who
leave tomorrow to join their COM
rades in arms!
Every loyal American is envi-
GUS of the privilege given the
sons of Garrett county in having
an opportunity to vitalize anew
for the entire world the spirit of
Washington, Lincoln and Nc
Kinley-the spirit of democracy
and freedom!
Mothers and brothers, wives
and sweethearts bear striking
testimony to the travails of Civ
ing to the nation the best of her
sons-the boys who leave to-
morrow, the boys who have gone
before, and the boys yet ready
to rush forward to their
country's call.
May the music of their going
never cease to cheer those left
behind!
Their going enkindle8 within
those who miss them most a
more fiery patriotism and ardent
desire to be up and striking for
their God, their native land and
her thrilling traditions.
Those who haev made the most
costly offerings stand ready to
make still greater sacrifices!
Eternal vigilance is the price
of liberty!
Good bye! Good luck God
bless youl
And pity for those left behind
who do not respond to the cry of
democracy and freedom for re-
lief from the crushing heel of
autocratic kaiserism.

To my Friend and Teacher:

what you and the high school did for
me. l used to feel pretty sore when
you disciplined me but l know now it
was for my own good.
Life is pretty dull here in the bar
racks. We can't even sass" our
teachers l am studying civil engi-
neering with the mapping and survey
ing division of my company and can
already draw a creditable military map.
About half the company is composed
of veterans of the Haitian and Santo
Domingo Wars, and some few of the
Spanish war. Il was quite an honor
for Joe Rathbun to be among the first
to land in France, and the school ought
to feel proud of him.
