Bible Saves Life of American
Lad From Hun S Bullet.

With the American Army in
France, May 26 (by A. P.)-
Many stories have been told since
the beginning of the war of lives
being saved by Bibles, but the
United States probably will have
the distinction of being the first
country to have actual possession
of a bullet-punched Bible, which
saved the life of one of its sons,
William R. Wilson, a 19-year-old
soldier of Newcastle, Pa.
Young Wilson is alive to-day
in a hospital in the rear of the
American sector in Picardy and
rapidly recovering from a minor
wound. A Bible and a small
trench mirror, which he was ac-
customed to carry in his left
breast pocket. DETECTED a Ger
man sharpshooter's bullet from
his heart.
According TO his friends Will
son. who is an orphan, had been
in the habit of reading the Bible
daily. He was resting in the
rear lines last Sunday, with his
Bible as his only comfort. He
was ordered in afront line. where
a sharpshooter's bullet felled
him. Comrades who carried
him off found that he was suffer-
ing only from a flesh wound in
the breast, thanks to his Bible
and the trench mirror. through
which the bullet passed. A sec.
ond bullet struck him in the arm,
but this wound is not serious.
Wilson says he is going to pre-
sent the Bible to the United
States as soon as he is discharg-
ed from the hospital.

Jams makes the following replyl
and pays a tribute to the work
of the Red Cross:
Nashville, Tenn,
May %, 1918.
Mr.. B. L. Quarles,
Dear Sir;
Replying to yours of 10th inst
in regarn to the Red Cross chap
ter of Jackson county occupying
my storehouse, say yes, on
your terms.
The Red Cross is the most
wonderful organization in history.
Most powferul for good than all
the military organizations now
in deadly conflict on battlefield
of Europe. They have done
more to knit the world together
for peace, for love and for mer-
cy. than all other influence.
Even the women have been
known to go on the battlefield
and help to bear away the wound
ed and administer to their needs.
| look to the Red Crosse influence
as a large factor in breaking
down the murderous war spirit
of Germany and establishing
world peace for democracy and
liberty on the terms our chief
executive, Woodrow Wilson has
offered.
Very respectfully,
]. A, Williams.
