THE REV. MR.. DAGER'S HOME
GOING

In our last issue we gave short
notice of Brother Dager's death at
Wooster, o. Through the kindness
of Mrs. J. w. Raine we take the fol-
lowing account Of il from letter
written to her by an intimate friend
Of the bereaved family:
Mr.. Dagger was in perfect health,
so far as any one could see. Mon
day evening, September 81, when
they were out visiting some OF the
neighbors, and he was just as gen.
ial and full Of fun as ever. He re-
tired as usual. complaining Of no
discomfort, but wakened the family
in the night with fearful groans.
A doctor was called at once who
succeeded in relieving his agony.
The doctor thought it acute indi-
gestion; but just before six o'clock
a. m. another attack came and in q
few moments he was gone.
Providentially, DR.. s. F. Johnson
and Mr.. Good were here, waiting TO
sail for Africa with him. The date
of sailing has been postponed twice
and they were now hoping TO sail
during the first week OF October.
The two co-workers took charge Of
all the sad details and have been q
wonderful comfort TO the entire
family.
Mrs. Dagger is surely being upheld
by Divine power in answer TO the
great wave OF prayer that is going
up for her.
The service was a beautiful one,
triumphant. The pastor OF the
church, Doctor Houston OF Detroit,
and Doctor johnson all spoke. A
quartette Of men from Africa sang
THE Sands OF Time" and "The Glory
Song"

RECOGNITION OF REV. CHARLES
STURGEON KNIGHT

Recognition Of the ability and
popularity of Rev. Charles Spurgeon
Knight as an Evangelist came re-
Gently in the form of a certificate
Of membership in the Association
Of Evangelists in America.
This organization includes the
noted Evangelists of the country
Lyon. Chapman. Williams, Bieder-
wolf. Billy" Sunday, and many
others.
Only men of recognized ability and

Dear Editor
As am a Citizen reader, I would
like to say a few words in regard to
our Red Cross Nursing Service.
Being a student in Berea and also
living there, I feel greatly interested
in the welfare OF our soldier boys,
especially our Berea and Madison
County boys. | expect, within the
next month TO leave Lexington for
France as Red Cross nurse.
think am the only nurse from Mad
ison County who has volunteered
nursing service abroad, and I feel
it my patriotic duty to do my bit
for our country, and for our soldier
boys, during their suffering, be it
ever so small. ! feel sure mothers
and fathers as well as friends and
loved ones would feel very much re-
lieved il they knew their boys were
being cared for as they would be at
home. ! feel sure If they are near
our Base Hospital, number forty,
that they will receive good care
and kind treatment: as our unit is
made up of Kentucky men and wo-
men.
The Red Cross workers have my
best regards as they are doing a
noble work and something that is
within the reach Of US all, as every
bit means so much when surgical
supplies are so few. Hoping to hear
from any of my friends at any time.
Yours respectfully,
Alberta r. Mitchell, r. N.

II. l.. McMurray were the speakers
OF the hour.
Doctor Green opened the discus
sion with an appeal TO our patriot
ism, making clear the battle is ours
and that there will be no peace I'M
I'll there is a complete finish. The
world must be made safe for de-
mocracy and Germany must learn
for the first time the meaning OF
freedom. He flung a dart OF criti-
cism at Washington hitting a cob
BILE" Stone and a broken" Reed OF
Missouri which pleased the audi
ence.
Mr.. Wallace followed, citing the
German idea Of ruling the world;
how they miscalculated the strength
Of Belgium and our helplessness al
the outbreak Of the war. Our boys
in France are now backed by loyal
citizenship in which patriotism
must live or this republic will die.
We must do what we can for the
cause at home.
Mr.. Russell very emphatically pro-
claimed the fact that We are in the
war and we must fight our way out.
Mr.. McMurray based his talk on
a Bible passage. and effectually de-
Tended his point, waxing quite ora
torical and the most spirited Of the
speakers.

FAREWELL CONCERT BY MILL
TARY BAND

Never before have Berea people
been so pleased as they were over
the Military Band Concert given by
the boys of the Second Regiment.
More than a dozen Of the twenty
eight pieces in the band were Be-
rea boys. For more than two hours
they held one Of the largest audi
ences ever gathered in the great
College Chapel. They rendered
their program in the most skillfui
fashion under their efficient leader,
]. Paul Edwards. This was the last
time for them to appear before the
public in this capacity. The re-
ceipts for this effort TO secure mon
ey to improve their instruments
amounted to more than si35.OO. II
was a great success throughout. In
day or two after the concert they
were transferred to Camp Shelby
near Hattiesburg, Miss, where they
are. now enjoying camp life in the
sunny South.
They were rendered three recep-
tions during the day spent in Berea,
at noon in the Vocational Chapel,
where they had the joy Of eating a
good dinner with the Navy League
Girls; and again at the supper
hour on the lawn Of the Edwards
home prepared by the mothers OF
Berea; and after the concert fare
well gathering was held in the
beautiful home OF Mrs. Ernberg.
The day will be long remembered
by the boys as well as By their
many friends.
