tire strangers, and the battle for the
"noncom' position will be on before
the men get to know each other TOO
well. The friendship of the old DAYS.
generally long founded by the time
promotion came around, were too often
bar to discipline. The situation made
1t hard for the man pushed up and for
his old side partners in the ranks.
This accounts. of course, for the lone
~ life of the top sergeant, that most
efficient king pin in our line troops.
In the new army the top sergeant in
many cases will be there" long be-
fore he has made any deep friend
ships In the ranks, and the task all
around will be easier.
This should be encouraging to that
great body Of disappointed young men
who for one reason or another could
not make the first training camps. and
are too young for the second. If not
drafted they can enlist directly with
the knowledge that they will have
their chance for commission along
with the brightest men Of the regular
draft.

Origin of a Popular HYMN.

The following illustration given BY
d. l.. Moody suggests the true origin
OF p. p. Bliss hymn, LET the Lower
Lights Be Burnlngw A ship on Lake
Erie, bound for Cleveland harbOr, was
overtaken by a storm, and as they
neared the port the pilot could only
see the upper light-the light from the
lighthouse streaming to them through
the storm and darkness. The lower
lights were not burning-the pilot
could not see how to steer into the har-
Dor. II was impossible to sail back
again upon the lake; the ship had TO
go forward and for the want of tbe
lower lights along the shore the vessel
now at tho mercy Of the huge, roaring
waves, was dashed to pieces on the
rocks, and many of the crew perished
before help could reach them. p p
Bliss was associated in those eorlv
days with ID. l.. Moody in Christian
work, and he must have heard Mr..
Moody use this illustration, which
gives n beauty to its meanlng."-Chris-

: JAPANESE KNOW NO PRIVACY

| The Bay Of KiZuki is n Japanese
watering place and, like any wafer
ing place in America, it has a fine
sandy beach stretching half n mile be.
tween two long green hills and q great
hotel and casino and good fishing. In
addition TO these things It has n sacred
temple and n wonderful rock.
The hotel is sufficiently different
from any outside the Orient. for its
every room is open TO the street, and
You may see at a glance dozens Of
families playing, eating. sleeping. The
japanese do not know privacy rs the
Occldent knows It. They go about all
things openly. Which has led some
observers to call them a nation OF
monkeys and others to say that they
are the most natural people in the
world.
All day ut KiZuki bay the people will
diSport themselves as man has dis
ported by the sea since before his
memories began. The water will be
filled with splashing figures and the
air with the shrill voices of children
and women, the deep outlaws of men.
There is music. too, Of the japanese
sort. and men put out In boats to fish
and sail in the safe little harbor with
In the arms Of the hills.
But the event Of the day comes in
the evening, when the sun drops into
the bay. turning It into gold. and the
protecting arms Of the hills are
In night. Then does the lone
rock spire of Kizukl bay stand out in
a silhouette of majestic curves against
n fiery sky. And all the people come
TO look and admire. For to even the /
japanese the severe beauty
or rock spire against a sunset skv
Is solace and inspiration.

be day of smiles. tOmOrrOw's still in
