PASTOR PRAISES SERVICE
OF D. C. "BOYS IN BROWN
Rev. John Compton Ball Asserts
They Showed Real Meaning

the pastor declared, land it stands for
unitedly standing, for unquestionable
service and unlimited sacrifice in up
holding the flag of the free and the
home of the brave"
The pastor then pointed out that it
was to this big service the boys in
brown gave themselves, by surrender
ing positions. severing home ties
shouldering the musket and following
the flag.
by the mercy of God they are home
again." he added, and we would be
ungrateful if we failed to give them
welcome, recognizing their sacrifice and
rejoicing in their safety
The pastor then referred to the crisis
now facing the nation, averring: THE
war cloud hangs low. Plots and coun-
ter plots threaten and we need to en-
phasiZe love for country. loyalty to fla g
and readiness for service. We know
not what day or an hour may bring
forth. but we know that we ought il
prayer prepare"
He also gave as his belief that the
United States. if it should enter the
world strife, would be the deciding
factor
Acting on the suggestion made ir
some quarters of the country, the pas
tor said he favored the plan to give
to France s1,O0O.OO0.0oo. TT will prove

Signs of Spring

| saw robin on the lawn. be-
fore the second month was gone.
] said to Sarah Jane, my frau,
THE winters on its last legs
now! Well may we chortle,
Sarah Jane! The winter brought
us dearth and pain; it taught you
what privation is, and filled
nv bones with rheumatic. But
spring, dear wife, will shortly
dawn saw a robin on the lawn !.
The birds are wise; the robins
know just when the wintertlme
will go. One robin knows more
weather lore than human proph-
cts FIVE or four, so, when such
birdlets | behold, | know we'll bid
farewell to cold, that winter is an
also ran-and l secure a palm
leaf fan. Cheer up, cheer up! SO
help me John, ] saw robin on
the lawn" But Sarah Jane, she
said, said she, This is the thing
that puzzles me: You've seen,
with tears and spirit aches, thou
sand times. that signs are fakes.
You We never seen a sign come
true-that is, ii you desired it TO;
and vet one ao.bin on the lawn con-
vinces YOU that winters gone. |
won't believe that spring has
come until the hees begin to hum,
and there's no robin. Gagged or
free, can work that sort OF bluff
on me" WALT MASON.
