Consumption
BY SARA ROBERTA GETTY.

Conscription! One hears the word
upon every side, and probably no other
word has so stirred the hearts of the
people of this nation in years. 1t is
with various and conflicting emotions
that we see our young men, the little
boys of Yesterday. prepars to answer
the great call for service to their coun-
try, and ours. They are the flower of
Americas young manhood and it is
hard to see them go. The pinched
drawn faces of the mothers and wives,
the anxious fathers and sisters, the
sad-eyed sweethearts, all testify elo-
quentlv to the sacrifice that is being
made.
Yet, back of the knowledge of the
tragic necessity for the sacrifice is a
feeling of pride in our boys that they
are able and willing to serve as did
their forefathers in the cause of Right
and Justice. They do not fully under
stand. perhaps none of US do, yet they
give unquestioning obedience. Theirs
not to reason why, theirs but to do and
die" and they go, willing to do their
part, even though it means great per-
sonal inconvenience. impaired health,
and perhaps loss of life, and we are
proud of them and honor them. these
boys of ours, as we send them forth to
do their duty, even though it entails
such great danger.
The path of duty is not always a
flower strewn one, but whatever the
danger. God, who is omniscient and
omnipresent, as well as tender and
loving, will guide, direct and shape our
destinies for His best service.
1t is Omar Khayyam who says:
I'VE are no other than the moving row
Of magic shadow shapes that come and
| go;
Just helpless pieces of the game He
plays
Upon the checkerboard of Nights and
Days"
Helpless it is true, in ourselves, but
while we too may often feel a longing
to grasp this sorry scheme of things
entire, and remold it nearer to the
hearts desire" yet we know that God
permits sorrows and calamities that
good may come of it. And how much
more helpless we would feel were 1t not
for the knowledge that He knows and
cares!
Our boys are just as closely watched,
whether at home or in the trenches, on
land or on the deep, We know this is
true, no matter what may be the out
come, and those whose duties keep them
at home can play just as important a
part in thus great world drama as those
who are at the battle front, If they but
will, and through our united efforts
peace may soon again be within our
borders God, speed it! May there
come through this common sorrow, a
closer feeling of .kinship and response
bility toward our fellow men, and d
broader brotherhood! For there could
be no war strife if each of US today
would follow the example of the Prince
of Peace who said; "A new com
mandment give unto you, that We love
one another.
