LET US SACRIFICE TO MAKE
THE WORLD BETTER

There Is something worse thai
death. and that is an empty life.
This thought is emphasized in let
ter written from France by Eric L
Thompson. to his mother and father
In England. dated September s. 1915
The boy had been fatally wounded
Here are his last words:
September s, 1916.
Dearest Mother and Father:
You are reading this letter because
have gone under.
OF course know you will be terribly
cut up. and that 1t will be long time
before you get over 1t, but get over it
you must. You must be imbued with
the spirit Of the navy and the army
to carry on" You will still have
dear little Donald, who Is safe. at any
rate for some while. II he should
ever have TO go on active service
somehow feel that his invaribIe good
luck will bring him drought.
You must console yourselves with
the thought that I am happy, whereas
II had lived-who knows?
But for this war and all the others
would have passed into oblivion like
the countless myriads before us. We
should have gone about our trifing
business. eating. drinking. sleeping,
hoping. marrying, giving In marriage,
and finally dying with no more
achieved than when we were born,
with the world no different for our
lives. Even the cattle in the leld fare
no worse than this. They, too, eat,
drink. sleep. bring forth young. and
die. leavin gthe world no different from
what they found 1t.
But we shall live forever in the re-
suits of our efforts.
We shall live as those who by their
sacrifice won the great war. Our
spirits and our memories shall en-.
dure in the proud position Britain
shall hold in the future. The meas
ure of life is not its span but the use
made OF 1t. l did not make much use
OF my life before the war. but I think
have done so now.
Well, I have talked lot of rot which
must have given you much pain tc
read and which will not bring you
much comfort. l had intended to try
and say words OF comfort, but that
scarcely being possible, 1t has drifted
into a sort OF confession OF faith.
To me has been given the easier
task; to you is given the more diff
cult-that OF living In sorrow. Be Of

THE NEW AMERICA

Our ruler is that God alone
Who reigns eternally;
To Him, upon His starry throne,
We humbly bend the knee.
Our marshal is the Prince of Peace
The herald of Gods word,
Who suffered for mankind's release
The worlds redeeming Lord.
Our duty is Gods righteous will,
Whose wonderous plan sublime
The thronging ages shall fulfill
In His appointed time.
Our country is the land of God
America the free;
Where never despot's foot hath trod,
Dear land OF destiny.
Our banner Is the arm of Truth,
Whose ev'ry stripe and star
Defends in brotherhood and ruth
Der whom 1t waves afar.
