THE DRAFTED MANS REPLY

My friend, you who volunteered.
And did not wait for the draft
Why harbor hard feelings against us men
Who are doing cur little half?
Why should you shame us, Brother,
We who were forced TO go fight?
Perhaps we had reasons fer waiting
Reasons which were just and right.
When we are in the trenches, Brother,
Fighting side by side,
Will we who were drafted be afraid?
DO you thing we will try to hide?
Do you think, my friend for a minute.
That we will not do our share
And stop as much of the ,kaiser's lead
AS any Volunteer who is there?
And in later years, my dear Brother,
When you and 1 sit by fire.
VIII we quarrel about the glory due US;
VIII we each call the other a liar?
No! There will be no distinction;
And your boy, who sits on your knee,
VIII not be prouder of his old dad
Than my boy will be of me.

A certain rector just before the service
was called to the Vestibule to meet a
couple who wanted to be married. He
explained that there wasn't time for the
ceremony then, but said he, IF you
will be seated, I viii give an opportunity
at the end of the service for you to come

The couple agreed. and at the proper
moment the clergyman said; ''WiIl those
who wish to be united in the holy bond
OF matrimony please come forward?'
Whereupon thirteen women and one

Marching as to War,
With the Cross of Jesus
Going on before" etc.
Have you ever heard that wonderful
hymn blared forth by massed bands =?
Have you ever listened to your regi-
mental band play it on their way to or
from Sunday church service? Have
you ever felt the thril-the cold chill
creep up your back until it came with
a rush to the very roots of your hair,
when you heard it as you marched on
parade in the old home town? 1t there
anything more inspiring in it's march
ing rhythm-its words and simplicity
of meaning? Has it not been the old
reliable of band leaders for years to
bring a clap from an unresponsive au-
dience? Does it not appeal to you as
the battle hymn of the hour-the very
thing we need-that extra something
not expressed by bayonets or bursting
shells, but the human dynamic force
back Of them inspired to an over
whelning victorious strength.
We will not have time to sing it in
the trenches nor going over the top
but we can sing it and have our bands
play it as they march through the
streets of America, England. France
italy and Russia on our way to the
front It viii proclaim to nations ev-
erywhere that America has a divine
objective.
Let US then sing it everywhere, on
the march, in divine service-in our
hearts. Let it grow and kindle within
US. Let us thorough lyunderstand our
objective in that song, so that no mat
ter what the experience or sacrifice
may be we will stick to our task with
that tenacity which has ever marked
American victory. Therefore let the
bands sound off-The Battle Hymn Of
America:
Onward Christian Soldiers!
Marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before,
Christ, the Royal Master,
Leads against the foe
Forward into battle
See His banners go.
