HAPPY isl Ne man who finds a task
to occupxs4As mind and his hand"
Hov 80 the words Of the famous
hb- poet and author! And how
.sahy more human beings will realize
this when the war is over. To fight
and 70 give are great educators. To
fight d4til one goes down from loss Of
blood, faint and in agony gives one
slimpses Of things worth while which
he might never have attained. To
give in q good cause. for our own de-
scendants or for the future Of man
kind as we are given to see-to give
until our wounds are painful and hard
to bear-is another form Of acquiring
a grasp on something infinitely better
than selfishness.
We are so constructed as to develop
against resistance. We make prog
ress by exertion and the overcoming
Of obstacles. We give until it hurts"
and receive, in bigger minds and
hearts. more than we give. We point
to Russia's plight as almost impossi-
ble of solution because Of the 'igno'-
rance" of the masses. and yet how far
in advance are we that we should
smite our breasts and thank God that
we are what we are?
The big lesson we all need, and The
lesson we get out of suffering of war
wounds and war sacrifices in treasure
and those dear to US. is humility and
recognition Of our human level, re-
gardless Of what we see in others to
convince our ignorant minds Of their
inequality. \
Our boys" are from all grades Of
society, criminal and clean-sou!ed.
feeble minded and intellectual. all
herded together in common cause and
all looking alike to the Creator, who
sees beyond our vision. Out Of their
shaking together and the sufferings.
their mind tortures and their physical
pain which comes to all alike, "our
boys" are coming back with broad
ened visions which we can only meet
by equal sacrifice and equal accep-
lance of our own level with common
humanity. regardless Of wealth" Of
"honors," or mental "superiority."

noon | went to Hyde Park where n
shrine was erected in memory of the

tirely Of flowers, over 1000 Wreaths,
so that will give you some idea OF
how large it was. The next day |
went to Scotland. l went first to
Glasgow and then to Edinburgh. l
guess I saw almost everything there
was to see and then I went back 0
London, where i spent the last two
days Of my leave. l was sorry when
it was all over and I had TO come
back here, but Of course good things
can't last always. Anyway. had a
real good time and that is the main
thing.
Well. what do you think of the war
now l guess we have the Huns on

will keep them that way.

SOLDIER BOYS

Capt Roland +. Findley, who was
severely wounded in France, arrived
in Houlton Saturday for a four
weeks stay. Capt. Findley seems to
be in good spirits and although he
gets about by the use of a crutch he
says that he can for a short time
walk without the use Of any support.
1t was during the second battle Of The
Marine that Capt. Findley received his
injury. He says that there were
many casualties. He lay in shell
hole six hours before receiving care.
He has been in New Jersey in base
hospital for few weeks and he
speaks in the highest terms Of the
work being done by the 103rd regi-
ment and speaks very highly of the
work being done by Col. F. NJ. Hume.
About 80 members Of the Shiloh
community are now in some form Of
government service. Several Of these
are in merchant marine, and others
are expected to seek employment at
the Bath Iron Works. Several are
holding responsible positions in war
work in various states. Rev. Frank
w. Sanford, their leader, has urged
his people not to seek exemption but
enlist if possible, and if they could
not, to offer themselves in some sort
of war work.
