ANSWERS e eyN GREY

the Grace of Divine Provi-
dence, and no thanks to my
self they we're real men and
not those who hang each kiss
ON their belt as marks OF
conquest. II Is so difficult
to discriminate, for they
come so cleverly disguised in
sleeps clothing, and therein
lies the danger. Safety first.
And somehow I think | lost
Just a little bit of respect

Dear Miss Grey: In fol-
lowing your column the
thought often occurred to me
why your readers seem to lay
such emphasis on the mar
riage question. After read
ing Bachelors" letter,
wondered if my point of view
would be of interest to your
readers.
Although there seems to be
among some people a convic-
ton that marriage is neces-
sary to salvation, have not
read anything in the Scrip
lures that would authorize
that viewpoint, but to the
contrary, / find many pas
sages which clearly indicate
that the duties and cares OF
the married state hinder a
fuller understanding of heav-
en-. One specific instance is
that of st. John, who enjoyed
a more close companionship
with the Savior than any OF
the other disciples. and to
whom he recommended his
mother at the foot of the
Cross. st. John was the only
one who remained with the
Savior during the trial and, to
the end. st. John was not
married. Marriage is OF d.
vine origin, but single bless
edness Is the better part in
my opinion.

TO every one within the radiance ot

can you conceive of the results il
people could be brought to realize
tnat they never add to their own or
the happiness of others by doine
wrong? A spoiled child is never a
happy ore. Is it not far better for
hlm to have been punished at first
than to be obliged to submit to
greater suffering in after life? Par
ents know this. Object lessons can
be seen every day, when parental
will power applied at the proper
time would obviate all this and save
the child. And remember that con.
science is ever on the watch and at
all times ready to warn us of dan
ger-and will power is the only ave-
nue. of escape. 1t is the lever that
G ntrOls our actions and determines
h issue. There are men who have
no will power and if they had would
not know how and when to use it.
Such men are indeed pitiable but
fortunately they are exceptions
but the large majority may by pre-
cept at least set a good example.
We are told in the first book of
Genesis that at the end of the sixth
day God saw everything that he
had made and behold it was very
good, not just good but very good.
Yet how few of us appreciate the
beautiful world in which we live. If
we will only do our best, and after
having done so we may await the
results without much anxiety. But
before the desired results will ever
be realized, before we can hope for
the promised rewards we must do
something-resist temptations-and
don't forget it takes will power to do
it 1t matters not how strong you
may be along other lives, if you are
short on will power you lose. There
is no other way out. The young
man who came to Christ to find the
way aernal life met all the re-
quirements in his case but one; he
was told this: "One thing lackest
thou: sell all thou hast and give to
the poor" Did he do It? No. He
was rich, but lacked the will power
to meet the requirements, and lost.
Conditions have never changed We
must meet the requirements, make
the necessary sacrifices either NOR
ally, socially or financially, as the
case may be. 1t takes will power
to do this and must be cultivated
and put to practical use before we
get any benefit. Then. and only
then, can we hope for reward.

VICIOUS LIES NAILED GOOD
AND HARD

Secretary McAdoo issues a state
ment in regard to the vicious rumors
spread broadcast probably by pro-
German influences to the effect that
the United States proposes to confis-
cate the money on deposit in the
banks. The rumor is wholly without
foundation and doubtless circulated
for evil purposes. In the first place
the government has no power to con-
fiscate the money of depositors in
banks and wouldn't if it had such
power. The only chance for your
money to be confscated would be
through German victory over the
United States or a revolution within
and this will not happen if you do
your bit as loyal Americans. There
need be no fear if we do this and
the rumor is absolutely false and
spread broadcast to deceive the ig-
nOrant.
By keeping your surplus money
at. home you are crippling your gov
ernment; ithe bank is the place
for it and it is absolutely safe there.
Don't give ear to such silly rumors
hereafter.

AMERICAN RESENTS INSULT

A travelling salesman recently wis
tied the Hoffman jewelry store in the
Arcade at Springfield, O., and after
selling bill of goods expressed the
opinion that if there was an election
held now with Wilson and the kaiser
on opposing tickets the German
would get more votes. he returned
a little later to the store and MIR.
Hoffman gave him just one minute
to get out of the store. He failed to
act as quickly as commanded and
he was knocked through a show
case in the store. 1t took two clerks
to keep the jeweler from throwing
the man to the street. The order
which had been booked was at once
cancelled. Mr.. Hoffman is still re-
ceiving congratulations from his
many friends throughout the city

THINK OF HIM COMING HOME
AGAIN

Grieving American mothers who
have seen their boys march away to
what seems almost certain death in
war can read figures printed about
the first Canadian contingent and
be comforted. No soldiers of our
country will encounter greater risks
than have those in this contingent.
1t has been in the forefront of the
fighting, as the frequent stories of
its brilliant achievements have prov
ed. Accounts of the daring of its
troops have filled columns. 1t has
undoubtedly lost more of its total
number than the average group of
fighting men, yet the statistics show
that its total mortality ia three
years has been 2,627.
Out of the $4,000 who went across
to Europe in 1914, there are more
than 10000 alive today, and not
only alive but better in health and
better in every way than they would
be if they had remained at the work
in which they were employed at
home.
1t is natural to think about the
fearful risks the boys are to run
when we bid them godspeed and
send them to the training camps,
but if we will bear it in mind that
so far from going to certain death
the chances for any one of them is. 9
to 1 that he will come back. sturdy
and proud of what he has done for
his country, it will help to lift the
load of care while he is gone. Let
us think of our joy when Johnnie

BELIEVE IN THE AMERICAN
SOLDIER

1. believe In the American SOL
dier.
2. believe in his ability to rep
resent nineteen others of America
and myself in the greatest struggle
of all ages.
3. Whatever may be his fate in
the furnace and fury of hell, shall
always believe he did his part with
a free heart, hand and mind, and re-
member that he has gone to a for
eign field where liberty has become
the highest priced goal in the his
tory of all the Woodland where
American resources, American brains
and the American soldier are ex-
pected to accomplish that which
nearly all the peoples of the earth
have failed to accomplish, as yet.
A. I believe, therefore, that l am
morally obligated as a free Ameri-
can. to do all within my power to
make the burden lighter for those
who face death and endure priva-
ton for me-; and to fearIessly face
the supreme test of Americans by
all the world.

INCONSISTENT, UNCONCERNED
ETC.

We have only a very few sub
scribers who seem inclined not to
pay for the paper, although they
are well able to meet their obliga-
tions. We have offered to take
trade if not convenient to pay cash,
and various other inducements, but
these few subscribers seem to BE-
"bomb-proof" against any entreaty.
We fear they are past redemption
and will be eternally lost:
Yet, no doubt these same uncon-
cerned people will sit down to their
Thanksgiving dinner and ask the
usual blessing, little thinking of their
obligations to their fellow-men. Hon.
esty, you know, is close to gOdliness.

TO MY NEIGHBOR, LITTLE DORIS
FIELDS


Doris, little Doris,
With eyes so shy and sweet,
Loaned to US a little while
To love, to bless, to keep.
eff 64iiff Of God, dear little DeFis~
Was this precious life Of thine;
Earth cannot bestow such treasure
God alone gives life divine.
Were the angels with thee always
'Midst thy joyous happy days, -.
That a smile was ever lingering
Round thy lips in sleep or play.
Did the angels whisper to thee
Loving thoughts the whole day
long,
Filling all our hearts with sunshine,
Filling all our lives with song?
Just a little bit of heaven
Was thy stay with US below,
Just little bit of heaven
In the hearts that love thee so.
This old world and that above us
Do not seem so far apart,
Just little path to follow
Since our Doris went to God.
