Mrs. Amanda Edgar has gotten
the accompanying letter from her
son, Corp. Roy Edgar, now overseas:
Dear Mother:
1 received two letters from you
yesterday and was so glad to hear
from you, and always will be. Tell
Arthur that Leonard is still with
me. You would not know him if you
saw him, as he is as large as 1 am.
1 saw two airplanes battling re-
Gently. l have seen them in battle
before, but was never that close to
them. They were about fifty feet
above our heads. and the American
plane shot down the enemy. l saw
the plane when it was hit, and i'm
mediately it caught fire and burned
up.
Mother, l am going to try to help
them win this war and hurry home
because 1 would love to see old Cam
bridge and all the people there, and
think my desire will ge gratifed
soon. l have been in the trenches
twice since l have been here, and am
out now in a rest camp. All we have
to do is eat and sleep, and l am
afraid when l get home l won't want
to do anything.
When l get back 1 will tell you all
about France, Cor we have hiked ov-
er nearly all of it. We get the
praise of being, not only the best
regiment in France, but the best in
the world, and believe me, it makes
me feel fine. for 1 think that is
something to be proud of, don't you?
We have been paid off four or five
times, and always in French money.
There are only a few towns where
we can spend American money.
l have received a letter from the
Baraca Bible Glass, and sure was
glad they thought of me. L will be
glad to hear from them at any time,
and will answer all the letters l can.
Remember me to all my friends.
Your loving son, ROY.

What is The Meaning of This
Victory?
l. l feel sure that it does not
mean, as so many have thought, the
end of the world. l cannot think
that Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God,
the Prince of Peace, will allow His
coming to be heralded by the boom
ing of guns and the outrages Of
brutality. These terrible things are
behind us, and l believe that the
world will be given time to rest and
reform itself before the closing
scenes of her history
2. 1 believe that this is the dawn
of the worlds new day. 1t is the
new birth of nations, and the day of
the worlds renovation. The Chris
tian nations have their fingers on
the worlds pulse today. They are
diagnosing her case, and they will
administer the remedies for the
worlds diseases in succeeding gen
erations. Let us believe that the
dawn of a new and glorious morning
is breaking over the hilltops, and
that the light of the Sun of Righte-
CUISINES swill soon drench with hea-
venly glory every mountain, hilltop,
and valley to the uttermost parts OF
the earth, and scatter forever the
darkness of oppression and brutality.
3. This allied victory and down
fall of monarchies means years OF
reconstruction and rehabilitation. 1t
will take years Of Christian thought,
patience, toll, and prayer to rebuild
the nations and lift them up to high,
noble, and righteous living, but such
is the glorious task, and the pros
poets are bright.
A. The victory means responsible
lily upon the victors, and largely up
on the Christian church. I've are the
salt of the earth; but if the salt hath
lost his SAVIOUR, wherewith shall it be
sailed? 1t is thenceforth good for
nothing, but to be cast out, and to
be trodden under foot of men" The
Lord is counting on His people as
the worlds antiseptic, to purify,
cleanse and sweeten human society.
and to life the world back to god.
Somebody recently said concern
ing Germany's cry for bread: Let
them starve." But that is the Prus.
sian spirit, to crush which We sent
our boys across the Atlantic over two
million strong, at tremendous cost.
If We withhold food from Germany,
now that she is down, and willfully
let innocent women and children
starve for bread, what better are we
than the Germans, whose cruel and
merciless conduct we initiate? Let
US hold to the spirit Of humanity,and
do all in our power to uplift the
world. We are called upon to be the
salt of the earth. but if we lose our
SAVIOUR, we shall be good for nothing
but to be cast out, and to be trodden
under foot Of men. These are the
testing days of the church, and of
the principles of liberty, which we
love SO much.
