Conditions Vastly Changed.

The men Of tho second quotas will
find conditions much different at Camp
Meade from those that existed when
the first drafted men came In. Then
the buildings were little more than SIS
per cent completed: roads were moth
ing but rude trails for the most part !;
laratories and latrines were not COM
pleted: clothing was not to be had; ra
tons were hard to get out of the COM
missary: cooks We're merely in the
making: and, worst of all, the men
were only day removed from civil
life and its pursuits and habits, and
hadn't learned even the rudiments Of
soldering.
Now the barracks to be occupied by tn e
new men are practically finished; there
Is clothing and bedding in plenty for all !:
the commissary is well organized and
has plenty Of everything that goes to
make up the Army ration. and things
are in amazingly good shape, when one
considers the vastness of the task of
providing quarters. clothes, food and
everything else for an Army division.
Best of all, the first selects have been
drilled and hiked and lectured and In
structed until they are now mighty
good specimens OF Uncle Sans soldier
boys. This latter point is going to help
lot in making things easier for the
new arrivals. in spite of the fact that
the new ones will certainly have to
stand for lot of good-natured joshing
from the veterans"

but the mystery is one which reason
recognizes as necessary. Christian
history and Christian experience are
constantly appealing to mans rea-
son. At bottom the most religious
man is the most reasonable. There
fore religion is frequently and happily
defined as "a sweet reasonableness."
Nv. The Service of Secondary Men.
No one would pick out Andrew as
the leader among the disciples. He is
not very frequently mentioned in the
New Testament. That he was inter
ested and sincere no one doubts. MY
point is that he was simply an ordin-
ary, average" man.
Yet think what a great life work he
did. Perhaps it was entirely accom-
pished when he brought Peter TO
esus.. "He findeth first his own
brother Simon and saith unto him, we
have found the Messiah (Which is,
being interpreted, Christi. He brought
him unto Jesus" That is what Chris
tian men ought to be doing today:
bring men unto Jesus" The obliga-
tion is upon every Christian man 30
seek, find and testify to every man
today. None are exempt. All a man
has to do is to give his testimony and
invite to Jesus Christ.
"A Sunday School teacher called
at Il shoe store where young man
of his class was clerk, and found
the lad in the back part of the store
arranging shoe-boxes, and there he
urged him to become a Christian. This
teachers influence led him to Christ.
The lad was Dwight l.. Moody, the
great evangelist who led a multitude
to the Savior. Here is what Mr..
Moody said about the results Of per-
onal Christian work: Away up the
mountainside there is little spring;
1t seems so small that an OK might
drink it up at a draught. BY and by
becomes a rivulet; other rivulets run
into it. Before long it is large
brook, and then it becomes Il broad
river sweeping onward to the sea. On
its banks are cities, towns and viii
lagos, where many thousands live.
Vegetation tiourishes on every side,
and commerce is carried down It's
stately bosom to distant lands. So If
you turn one to Christ, that one may
turn hundred; the hundred may turn
a thousand. and so the stream. small
at first. goes on broadening and deep
ering as it rolls toward eternity"
