THE GREAT DIVIDE
Rr MRS. G. II. MATHIS

evil and fit to fill the place of Mystery, Babylon the great, the mother of har- lots and abominatons," and Berlin to be the Babylon. the Kaiser the great beast, the kings the heads, the generals the horns, and the army, the image, and the masses of the German people, the sea from which they arise.
 They are certainly fit to bear any like ness of sin and degredation that words can frame or mind picture, and yet they seem to De totally lost to the power Of discerning the depths to which they have fallen. The deception of satan is theirs.
 Ine power of right is to triumph with a great manifestation of wrath when Jehovah stretches his arm in battle. May that come quickly, even now!
 The cycles of the earth are measured by great changes. the food, the Ten Commandments, the coming of Christ, and the baptism of fire or the coming in of the spiritual reign. This appears to be the coming in of the spiritual, the baptism of fire when evil shall be ban nished from the earth with all that means. We can only read and try to judge.
 If this should be the great divide spoken of in Scripture. we may know that the prophecy is fulfilled in that no nation or people was expecting it. and every nation is so stunned by the dehu- manized German that all failed to realize that he could be in reality the beast of Scripture, the very instrument of the devil He has forced that conclusion therefore we hope for his utter ruin by the hand of God combined with power and effort of all people everywhere who fear God and love the right We fight beside tie son of God. who will lead us to victory. The earth will roll on in joy and grandeur free from sin and evil. We may be standing in the twilight of eternity, but let us steady our souls. We hear the whisperngs of joyous souls as the echoes of the waves of time float in from the shores of universal love Today we stand in battle array doing our best for God and native land, tomorrow we may hear the crash of dissolved em- pires, for we know that over it all un' seen stands God and in Him we trust He is able to deliver and avenge.

beginning to realize the stupendous task we have ahead of us, and the near CT we get to the scene of action the more we feel the responsibility You people at home do not know that the
 war is on, and won't realize 1t until
 you see your men returning with legs

 I would consider exchanging places with any of those or with the richest man in Montgomery. It is a great eX perience, and I would not miss it for anything in the world.

  It is a great cause we are fighting for.
 A mans patriotism does not really get stirred up until he hears of the mag nificent things the English and French l are doing, and hear from men who | have seen it all what beasts these Ger mans are.

They can't last much longer, and believe they are going to begin to crumb1e on the western front

STORIES AGAINST
 RED CROSS TRACED
 TO GERMAN SOURCE

Mrs. W. s. Lowell, Secretary of tn Birmingham chapter of the Red Cross has called attention to the work o German propaganda in Birmingham il the following for nal statement:,
 Tn an announcement by the Red Cross Christmas membership com- mittee, the Sweater Lie was de- nounced. Every member of the Red Cross has by this time heard the story of the note in the pocket.
 "A patriotic woman knitted a sweater for the Red Cross In the pocket she put note, giving her name and address. In due time she received note from a man in Bos- ton, thanking her for the com fortable sweater, and telling her that he valued it highly. as he had to pay g for it.
 The originator of this story did not know that Red Cross sweaters are made without pockets
 About a month ago, I was told that an old lady in Ensley had knit ted sweater for her son who was in the army. In the sleeve she had sewed a s10-bill. She brought the garment to the Rer Cross and re- quested the ladies in charge to send it to her son. The son never received it.
 "The originator of this story did not know that Red Cross sweaters are sleeveless.
 Yesterday it was reported at one on the booths where Red Cross mem- berships are being taken, that an- other lady in Ensley had knitted sweater for the Red Cross, and sewed s In the hem. This sweater likewise disappeared.
 The originator of this story did not know that Red Cross sweaters have no hems.
 These absurd stories would not be worth noticing, but for the fact that they have affected peoples feelings for the Red Cross, and there are many who are unwilling to work for the Red Cross when they think the soldiers may never receive their gifts.
 We have MT. Davison's own sworn word for it. that every article made for the soldier by the Red Cross goes to soldier, and that soldier never pays one cent for them.
 Every member of the Red Cross is requested to investigate stories of this kind, and to trace them back to their source. They will probably find, as has been the case in the in- vestigation of the second of these stories, that the originator was a German sympathizer.

MONTGOMERY BOY
 WRITES PARENTS OF TRIP TO FRANCE

Lieut.. Julien Strassburger, son or Col and Mrs. strassburger, and nephew of Col. Marcus Well and Ben Well Of
 Birmingham, who is now with the
 Rainbow division in France, has Writ
 ten the following interesting letter 10 his parents:
 Somewhere" Thursday. Nov, 1917.
 Dear Mother and Father:
 Well, we are on our way over. We
 left our last stopping place the date or
 my last 1etter-Friday-a we are now in what is called the submarine dan ger zone" We sleep with our clothes on and life belts with us at all tlmes' It Is quite a peculiar feeling to reallze
 that YOU may get torpedo under you most any time and find yourself swim . ming in the water. I don't think there is ,ny great danger, however, as we Fhave our life-boat drills twice a day 1 and can very easily be rescued, should I the test come. The Canadians have l the loss of a single man. So you see how safe we feel. C deleted by i censor.) It is pretty sight to see them sailing along, going through various maneuvers, which is very interesting
 to observe. Major Carroll is in charge | of the troops on our boat, while Col onel Screws has sailed with the rest of the Alabama boys, on another ves- 1 se1.
 1 The voyage so far has been very pleasant We had some pretty rough weather yesterdayJ but I haven't ex- 1 perienced a sick moment since the trip l began; in fact, I have enjoyed it i'm
 mense1y. There are several English off, l fcers on board who have given us lec- lures and instructions on the situation and what we may expect. We are now
