A part Of Christs mission on earth
was to so expose the shame of false
hood that those who did not live the
truth, might become heart sick and
seek refuge from the pending death
awaiting them. His words were not
always pleasant to the sinner in his
lost condition, yet like the surgeon, he
knew the patieats need and proceeded
to act and speak accordingly.
AS followers of Christ we are to
ever pattern his example in dealing
with sin and sinners. Truth is to be
spoken, but it is very important as to
the manner in which a thing is said.
I'm Luke 1897, we read that Chrst's
enemies said that he was gone to be
guest with a man that is a sinner,
Here we find the literal fact spoken,
but at the same time a falsehood i'm
piled. They had spoken in derisiOn
and not from the standpoint Of love.
Sometimes men fail to accomplish
their desired end by the very manner
in which they proceed. The great sue
cess in temperance work of recent
wears is the result of exposing the eff
feet of alcoholic drinks upon economy,
health, true happiness and moral con-
ditions instead of abusing the men who
made Eaeir living in the business.
President Wilson has made it very
plain that we are not fighting the Ger
man people because of a hatred to,

CHAPTER ".

The stamp act congress" In
New York in 1856 created SO
much opposition in the colonies to
the stamp act that the British par
lament repealed it in 1865, at the
same time reaffirming Its right
to tax the colonies.
The next year a tax was placed
on glass, paper, printers colors
and tea. These taxes aroused pro-
tests which resulted in the Boston
massacre of 1910, when soldiers
fired on unarmed citizens, and in
the Boston tea party of 1873
when colonists disguised as In
dams threw a cargo of tea into
the harbor.
The first battle of the revolu-
tion was fought April 10, 1775,
when unorganized farmers at Con-
cord and Lexington compelled the
British to retreat to Boston.
The continental congress of the
colonies met in Philadelphia in
1774 and sought peaceful solu-
tion, which parliament refused.
The congress then raised 20, 900
colonial troops and placed George
Washington Of Virginia in charge,
On June II, 1875, British stormed
and captured the colonial posi-
tions on Bunker (Breed's) Hill,
Boston, with SO severe a loss that
the battle was In moral effect a
colonist victory.
The British were besieged In
Boston all winter, and had to
svacuate in the spring, retiring to
Halifax by sea.
after the Boston retirement
Britain sent in 1875 an army of
$4,000 men, including 1900
German mercenaries, to quell the
rebellion.
On July 4, in Philadelphia, con-
gress adopted the Declaration of
Independence, drafted by Thomas
Jefferson, which declared the unit
cd colonies to be independent

battle of Long Island, and New
YORK fell into British hands.

Around Oppy and Arleux It was

never-ceasing clashes.
Stream of Prisoners.
The armies on both sides sway
ed back and forth in the strug-
gle. But the latest report to-
day showed the British in pos
session of half of Oppy and all
of Arleux-and beating back des-
perate German counter ! attacks.
Around Gavrelle Haig's often
sive was still gaining ground. A
steady stream of prisoners from
this bloody angle were being
shifted back of the lines.
To the south, as part of his
gigantic push, Haig's troops were
thrown toward Greenland Hill.
They struck hard and fast at
massed German forces - and
swarmed over into German
trench running south of the
Scarpe.
Forest Moved Down.
There they stuck fast, despite
tremendous blows launched by the
Germans. Not even literal melt
ing away of the German attackers
in the face of murderous machine
gun fire and the steel curtain OF
British artillery stopped the des-
,perate enemy counter thrusts. The
German losses are staggering in
these attacks.
At the present moment, the
most bitter fighting, however, is
apparently in PROCESS In the woods
to the west of RoeuX-just above
the Scarpe. The forest was lit
orally being moved down by ar
tillery fire and the moss stained
red with rivulets of blood as the
Germans madly attacked, were
locked in bitter conflict, then
thrown back-only to reform and
attack again. Meanwhile the Brit
