Of Jesus duplicated ten thousand
times by common, wayward mortals
on the battlefelds of France; they
have regained what the American
preacher was in danger of losing
belief in the innate nobility of the
average man.
In those very acts against which
many a parson in his home pulpit
shot his birthstone oratory, he now
gladly participates. He is becoming
what every parson should be-most
engagingly human.
One Sunday not long ago a z. NJ.
Q. A. secretary met a Methodist
preacher, also a secretary, going
across a Trench field, with a baseball
bat under one arm, a large bundle
of cigarettes under the other, and a
Bible sticking out of his pocket. The
parson stopped, somewhat embar-
raised.
II don't know he stammered,

that Tralick, the negro. would turn
in his order TO the clerk and receive
an order check. which was supposed
to go to the customer. Instead of that,
il is alleged, the waiter would proceed
to raise the clerks check TO just what
ever figure it seemed the customer
would stand for. When the checks
were cashed, it is additionally claimed,
he failed to turn in the money, and
after being under surveillance Tor
some time the sheriff was called in
and the negro arrested. In preiimi-
nary hearing before Justice Will L.
Johnson yesterday he was held for
trial.

ITO native Yankee who can still

xest the more or less willing habit
Of listening to two long sermons every
Sunday and of saying your prayers
before you get into bed. There may
be some clergymen remaining in
America who still consider these two
habits as absolute essentials of godli-
ness, but to the American preachers
now in the war-zone religion has
come to mean something vastly differ
ent and greater.
Oh, these war parsons-how they
have dropped the shackles of confin-
ing creeds; how they have revised
the simple philosophy of Jesus-the
simple philosophy of service to ones
brother man. / have seen them under
heart-breaking circumstances "over

preachers has suddenly gone far
