been killed in action and two more are

The letter also states that at the pres

JUDGE NOT

This is a time when people should be
more than ever careful about their
judgment of others. Everyone who
has experienced a funeral in the fam
lily, knows that at such times there is
apt to be a quarrel. This is because
the relatives are all on a nervous
strain and say and do things on a
high tension. The world is now eX-
periencing a kind of universal funeral
and a great deal of trouble can be a.
voided if we make up our minds to ov-
erlook shortcomings. This is forgiving
sin and it brings the greatest bless
ings to all concerned.
Let us give everyone the credit of
doing the best he knows how and then
not criticize him for not knowing bet
ter. ''To know all is to forgive all
''There is now no condemnation to
them that are in Christ Jesus.
The trouble the world is now in is &C
cording to prophecy only the beginning
of sorrows. "After the war, the fam
inc, and after the famine, the plague"
Every heart will be tested and every
one must give account for every idle
word before he is accounted worthy
to enjoy the blessings of the new race
and the new earth. So each of us
has much to do. When one turns the
search light on his thoughts, testing
them by the standard of Love, he finds
it necessary to get very busy. The
beam in his own eye becomes suddenly
SO big that he cannot see the mote in
his brothers eye.
The book of Jonah is a great comfort
because it shows that awful things
may be avoided even though they have
been prophesied under the inspiration
of the Spirit. Everyone may follow
the example of the people of Nineveh
and thus remove the curse that comes
to the children of Adam.
If we complain of our sorrows, we
shall only get more. 1t is the law SO
let US learn the law of Praise and
Thanksgiving Count your blessings
and they increase"

to Berlin, will devOutly rejoice in

soil. It's a long way from Berlin to
Washington, via Switzerland, Spain
and Cuba, especially when one has

Until he has personally detailed all
circumstances to his chief, Pres. Will
son, Gerard will not talk. His only
public expression on his arrival here
was that he had had no knowledge
of Foreign Sec'y Zimmermann's plot
to align Germany with Mexico until
word of that conspiracy reached the
liner Infanta Isabel by wireless.
From others of the ambassadOrial
party it was learned that Gerard
months ago advised the United
States of Germany's intTigUes in
Mexico.
It rests with Pres. Wilson whether
the full story Of GeraTd's life in Ber-
lin and. his impressions of Germany
shall be given the American public.
He is known to have ready for sub

amazing details.

Delavan National Bank, who had all their
photographs on his bureau, had asked me
to go to sixteen successive Friday night
entertainments at the Country Club,
where they went to examine each others
dinner gowns and to one-step with the

ladies-very nice young ladies, the nice
Chicago-schooled daughters of the rich

REV. BILLY SUNDAY.

Rev. Billy Sunday, who came into
public notice recently as a baseball
player, is now making fame and for
tune as an evangelist. He has adopt
ed the style of the late Sam P. Jones
and according to reports has attract
ed bigger crowds than the famous
Georgia evangelist ever did in his
palmiest days In New York, where
the Rev. Billy is now conducting a
meeting, he invited his hearers to the
mourner'S bench in this unique and
impressive manner:
Come on, you" God-forsaken de-
generates; come on, you forces of in
EQUITY in New York that have made
the church cuspidor and doormat
to wipe your feet on; come on, you
traducers; come on, you assassins of
character; come on, you sponsors of
harlotry; come on, you defamers OF
God and enemies of the church, come
on, you bull-necke6, Deetle-browed,
hog-jowled, peanut-brained, weasel
eyed, four fushers, false alarms and
excess baggage"
And many in the congregation plead
guilty to the fearful indictment by
promptly and hastily responding to
the invitation.

MUSICIANS OF FIFTH MAY
HAVE TO TOTE STRETCHES

Atlanta, Ga, April 20.-Atlanta's
musicians in the Fifth Regiment OF
the Georgia National Guard, as we'll
as musicians in other cities who be-
long to National Guard organizations
are going to find themselves toting
stretchers in and out of the trenches
of France, if the war goes on long
enough for the United States to send
over an army.
That is, they will if their experience
is anything like the experience of the
musicians in the bands of the armies
of France and England and the other
countries involved in the war. For in
modern war there is little place for
the stirring strains of martial music,
except behind the lines and out Of
range of the enemy's artillery.
OF course they use the bands in
marching men to take positions on the
fighting front, and when divisions are
withdrawn for rest and recreation be-
hind the lines their bands make music
for them, but most of the bands have
been turned into stretcher-bearing or
CARNATIONS in this great war.
