WHAT IS THE CHRISTIAN
REL1GI0N1
BY Miss Stella M. Haley

What is the Christian religion
This is a question which we ought
all be able to answer, especially dur
ing a week Of revival. We who arc
Christians, in trying 10 win other
souls TO Christ should be able 10 tell
clearly what the religion is we are
urging them 10 accept.
The Christian religion is the belief
in Christ, belief in all He said and did
II is the only true religion. II is not
an imagination originating in the
minds Of men, but power direct from
heaven. A Divine power which
human nature could not create out
Of its own resources, and ut was
designed TO impart TO human ma
ture a new life and a change in its
Utmost principles"
IL was this Divine power which
made us willing TO enter This war
in the cause Of humanity and God.
u is this power which has inspired
countless millions TO enter the SER
vice OF their Country and their
God to die, if need be, that their fell
lowemen might enjoy the freedom
which God intended they should
have. This is obedience TO Christs
command, Love we one another,
even as | have loved you"
The awful suffering and misery
OF this war will not have been in
vain if through IL the Spirit Of
Christ shall prevail. IL will be but
a preparation for the great day
when every knee shall bow before
Him and He shall reign King of
Kings and Lord Of Lords.

THE GREAT SCHOOL

Many times our fathers, mothers

other, What is John learning in
the army2" Now, John is learning
something. He is attending the
greatest school Of the age. He no
doubt will be unable 10 tell you all
he has gotten by experience when
he gets n furlough home. Don't be
alarmed II he doesn't tell you very
much. You see difference In him
already, and he will never be able 10
tell you all. But the most beauti-
ful thing about IL all is that IL will
gradually be seen through his life.
He is now in the greatest school in
the world. What he is getting now
is worth two TO one times as much
as what he would get at an ordinary
school in short time. He is learn
ing TO do things, and 10 do them as
they should be done. lie is learn
ing TO do them with a snap and with
a smile. He is learning 10 do team
work.
In fact the National Army is
great team. all working together 20

dragged on this terrible crisis. Many
men were taken from their homes
and business, having no time 10 fix
up their business before leaving.
or course this is weighing ON their
minds. With all this. these men
have seen their need and have gone
into the game with full force. II Is
remarkable how rapidly these men
have grasped the situation and how
each has learned his individual i'm

they have learned 10 do good work

nearly 125,0OO,O0O.O00 cubic feet, or
20 per cent. the former record, estab
lished In 1915.
The average price OF this gas at the

Of Sls,915.0S7, or 1876 per cent, In total

Credit for increased production OF
natural gas In 1915 belongs, in the or
der given, TO West Virginia, Oklahoma.
Pennsylvania, California. Louisiana,
Kansas, Texas and Arkansas, which
together produced 132, 600, 600 900 cubic
feet more gas in 1916 than In 1915.
Significant increases, important local
ly. but unimportant as affecting the
production Of the entire country, are
credited to Illinois. New York, and
Montana. In only two states was
there significant decrease In the
production of natural gas In 1915. The
rapid exhaustion Of the prolific Cleve-
land field, In Cuyahoga county, o., re-
suited In loss of some 90 billion
cubic feet In the total volume pro-
duced In Ohio, and the steady decline
of the old fields In Indiana caused a
falling of Of 0.6 billion cubic feet in
the output OF this state.
The general increase In the produc-
ton OF natural gas In the United
States In 1915 is attributed principally
TO an enormous expansion OF the cas-
Ing head gasoline industry In all nat
ural-gas producing states and to a
greatly augmented demand for natural
gas as fuel by industries engaged In
the manufacture of munitions of war.
The influence Of this demand is shown
In the increase In the volume of gas
and In the increase In the value OF I

to lower the average price per thou |

SACRIFICE
BY Dewey L. Lawson

An open sacrifice or deed Of
bravery usually wins applause.
We canonize the martyrs who de-
fled the world and died for their
beliefs; we erect a statue 10 the man
who rushes into a flaming building
and gives his life in order that
others may live; and. we admire
him who publicly sacrifices his own
pleasures and ambitions for the good
Of his fellowmen.
Yet, after all, the sacrifices which
stand out before all others, and show
their doors to be mighty Of heart.
and mighty of mind" are those per-
, formed in secret, without hope OF
any remuneration. The man that
takes part in a heroic act before the
eyes Of men is repaid in part by the
praise and respect of the world; but
he who makes a great sacrifice for
a good cause. and has only himself
as witness TO it, has his own real
ization Of doing his duty for no
mercinary reason. But above all,
he has that added feeling OF closer
communion and friendship with
God, which is infinitely greater than
honor or praise.

lean Second corps, which fought with

closing days of the war.
The field marshal's message to the

"Now that you are leaving the Brit
ish zone wish again to thank you
and all, the officers, non.commissioned
officers and men, on behalf of myself
and all ranks of the British armies i'm
France and Flanders for the very gal
liant and efficient service you have
rendered during your operations with

ION Sept. 20 you participated with
distinction in a great and critical at
tack, which shattered the enemy's re-
sistance on the Hindenburg line and
which opened the road to final victory.
"The deeds of the Twenty-seventh
and Thirtieth American divisions,
which took Bellecourt and Nauroy, and
gallantly sustained the desperate
struggle for BOny, will rank with the
highest achievements of the war.
"The names of Brancourt, Fremont,

and energy of yo'1r attacks. am

Rupture Comes Over Revival Of Die
pute Regarding Provinces Lost

Santiago. Chile, Nov. 27.-The
Chilean congress has officially GEN.

patriotic" because he made speech
before that body expressing hope that
the difficulty with Peru could be set
tied without war. "a :
Washington, Nov. 27.-Hostilities
between Peru and Chile appear to be
possibility. -.
Peru has withdrawn her consular
agents from Chile as the result of
popular demonstrations, resulting from
a revival of the dispute>over the prov.
fnces of Tacna and africa, which Chile
took from Peru in 1883. As Peru has
no minister in Chile, withdrawal Of
her consu1s constitutes 4 break in
diplomatic relations.
It was believed probable here that
the United States or one of the South
American nations will offer to mediate
the difficulty. 1t was also regarded
as possibility that Peru and Chile
would carry their dispute to the peace
congress. ,..r.
When Peru conceded Tacna and Ari-
ca to Chile at the end of the four years
war in which Peru and Bolivia were
completely defeated by Chile. pleb.
iscite was to be held at the end of 10
years to decide the ultimate disposi.
ton of the province. The plebiscite
has never taken place and Tacna and
AFRICA has been the "Alsace-Lorra1ne"
of South American politics ever
since.
