THE NATIONAL ARMIES

due to an oversight on the
make up man the following was
omitted from the editorial of the
above caption on editorial page
To the men of the National
Army, however, belongs a glory
even greater, for they have
followed the call of duty and
sober sacrifice. To them romance
and adventure offer little COM
pensation. They are laying their
positions, their futures, possibly
their lives upon the altar of
patriotism without hope of re-
ward. To insinuate that such an
army will be regarded as inferior
to the other units of the service
and treated with less consider
alton is the mark of one who, if
honest, has little opinion of the
intelligence of the War Depart
ment and little idea of the temper
of the men, who for love of kin
and country and liberty are 60
ing to renounce for space their
pursuit of individual happiness
and 60 down, without murmur
into the valley of the shadow of
death that the nation may live
and that men and women and
little children everywhere may |
be freed forever from the curse
of the German system of govern
ment.

A Surprise

On Tuesday, July II, Raleigh
L. Topping was agreebably sur
prised when Mr.. Emmons Mason,
who formerly lived in Rosemary
but since has joined the country's
colors, went to his home in South
Rosemary and asked to be bap-
tiled Immediately. He was dress
ed in his sailors uniform. His
remark to the minister while
dressing ready to be baptized
was: II am ready to go to France
Germany or anywhere else that
my country needs me and spill
the last drop of my blood in her
defence, but | didn't feel right
without joining the church and
being baptized before CO."
The car was waiting to take
US to the water, driven by Hayt
Dickens. The only other witnesses
were his mother, Mrs. A. s..
Mason, his sister, Mrs. W. E.
Tewter and his brother, Bruce
Mason. Reverently and solemnly
the service was conducted at the
waters edge.
A scripture lesson, hymn and
prayer and then the minister took
his confession saying: DO you
believe with all your heart that
Jesus Christ is the Son of the
Living God and your Saviour"
he answered that heidi and then
both went down into the water
and the minister baptized him,
coming up out of the water the
minister offered a short prayer
for dismissal. !
Mr.. Mason has justbeenassign-
ed to the U. s. s. Bulgaria.
This is one of the German intern
ed ships which Uncle Sam is 60
ing to use for a supply ship.
