Raising Y. NJ. &. a. Fund.
Mr.. White, who is "A foreign secre-
taly OF the Y. NJ. c. A., came to Tulsa
70 hclp in raising fund for the vel
fare work in American concentration
camps. This is the work which Presi-
dent Wilson has designated as the
associations share in the war. To

red front of war, told the most
graphic tales of its horrors that have
ever been heard in Tulsa. He had
been to Gallipoli. to Mesapotamia, to
France, and his simple word pictures
of what he saw with his own eyes
made the blood OF his listeners run
cold.
Administer to Souls, Too.
Then in the same straightforward
way he told of how the association
was meeting this greatest oppor-
tunity to work for suffering man
kind that had ever come to any or
ganiZation on the face of the earth" !"
and how by administering to the
bodies OF men they were administer

Mr.. White spoke humbly OF the OPP
getting thru its work to carry to the
enemy the beautiful message that
there was no hate in the heart of
America for anything but the evils
OF absolutsm and that the message
she brought to Germany and her al
lies was not the message of the sword,
but the message of democracy and
the love attendant upon 1t.
TO Return To France.
lie quoted the words OF Sir David
Realty. commander OF the grand fleet,
TO the effect that lasting peace would
not come when Germany was beaten
to her knees. but when the hearts of
Germany and England and all the
nations Of the world were cleaned
and they returned TO the paths long
ago pointed out by the Savior of man
kind.
MIR. White will soon return to
France.

Life earthly is full Of disappoint-
ments The horizon seems too narrow
with advancing years. and hope be
shut out. Let the sadness sometimes
forget itself i'm eternal promised JOY.
The hopes that look for satisfaction
within these mortal years often fail.
often they do not If we. with patience,
wait: but whether they come or tarry
here below, the great hope is beyond
reach Of peril. There shall finally be
no disappointment.
In Christ's gospel life uncnding and
heavenly has been brought to light.
And we are His witnesses. The stamp
OF a Saviors cross we would put upon
carths pains, and hopes postponed,
that the seal of our Lords rising from
death and ascending from earth we
too may wear building a temple of
victory above the token OF sorrow.
Serenity toward earthly dangers, cour-
age to attempt great duties, hope to
promises to come true-thcse are the
cling to great loves and long wait for
gifts Of our Captain.
Trusting Him we can think Of our
horcavements and losses calmly. and
look forward ioyfully to the certainty
Of His return with our reward For
case comes after toll, and port after
stormy seas, and peace and love and
life after longing; our wandcrings
shall end in Home and the frail tents
Of our wilderness he exchanged for
the shining gates and undying walls
