question. Are you as good as Jesus

CENTRAL MESSAGE
Is THAT OF MERCY
The parable Of the Good Samaritan
brings us many lessons. bu: .ue cent
message Is that OF mercy. II is =
pai"ble upon which all our charitable
societies are founded. and IL tells us
must forget our own troubles In seek
ing to help others in their troubles. l.
draws the contrast between the Jews
OF Jerusalem and the people OF Sa-
maria. for the Jews hated the Samari,.
ans. 1t is hard TO learn from AN en-.
envy. yet Christ teaches US we must b.
Kind to everybody. 1t is poor thing
for us to look down upon anybody. !:
God should treat US as some times We
treat each other we would be In a
sorry coalition. Then we learn that
charity should be personal thing. We
must give Salts part. and :,

Of ;he strong helping the weak II all
who are strong would only help tho

place to live in. The horror OF the
German dictum. Might makes right"
is not alone the cruel barbarism of &C
tion to which il leads. but tho utter
ruin IL must bring to life. To give lii.
for the salvation Of others is the
heavenly way since Christ came from
Heaven to do this very thing.
The quality OF mercy Is not strained:
II droppcth like the gentle dew of
heaven"
Blessed are the mcrciful. for they
shall obtain mercy. said the Master
Note. too. that this mercy was contin-
ucd. II followed the matter up. for
the Samaritan took the injured man
to an inn. payed for his board and
promised TO come again. So much Of
our charity work fails because 1t does
not go far enough. We play at II in
stead Of completing it The glory Of
our Lords mercy is that II no; only
pardons. but blesses. Christ follows
vs. up with His gifts and hnaliy brings

AMERICANS GO OVER
 ARGONNE DEFENSES
Germans Attempted Counter At tack But Were Repulsed By;
 Heavy Artillery.

With The American Army in Cham pagne, Oct g (By The Associated Press.)-In their operations west of the Argonne forest the Americans have penetrated more than two kilo- meters beyond the line between. St. Etienne and Orfeuil.
 Heavy French and American artil- lery preparation preceded the ad- vance of the infantry.
 Soon after the activity started the Germans attempted counter attack but were repulsed by the allies ar tillery.
 Several airplanes cooperated with the French just north of St. Etienne in beating off the German infantry and machine gunners. .. .
 The principal resistance was with machine guns.
 The troops advanced over. yellow clay ground and the clay, blending with khaki. made the American uni- form difficult target for the Ger mans. ';
 The Americans went over a slight slope through stubby spruce and pine trees, feeling perfectly at home. the country resembling their native heath in the southwest. ,;
 In the regions where the French and Americans advanced in this sec tor, more than a hundred tanks were used.
 The Americans reported that they had reached their objective in less than three hours.
 The French on their right and left. kept abreast and also arrived at their destinations ahead of schedule.

DEMAND PUNISHMENT
Bv Associated Press.

By Associated Press tinate peace terms, London newspa- pers refer to the outrages still per sisted in by the retreating Germans, and unanimously demand reparation and punishment for these, as we'll as for other German outrages
 The Daily Telegraph says: "The evacuation of Belgium will not undo the crime of 1914. Preparation to the fullest measure must also be made for Belgium has the first claim on Germans resources for the unspeakable outrages she has suffered"
 The Morning Post says:
 indemnity for Belgium should be made as heavy as possible and Ger many made to feel the weight of her transgressions by the necessity of paying for them
 The Post suggests the war indem- nifty should include the handing over to the allies of the merchant ships which Germany has been building The Daily Mail demands Germany shall be punished with the utmost severity for the wanton destruction of French towns and the other news papers endorse this demand E, The Daily Express eounsels the stoppage of raw materials to Ger many until all accounts have been settled.

AMERICANS TAKE
 1,5O0 BOOBIES IN
 VERDUN SECTOR

With the American Army North west of Verdun, Oct. 9. (10:25)- Complete reports show that the Momelle Notifications have been oc- cupied by the Americans.
 To do it the troops had to storm the redoubtable hill 269 which hill 26" was captured a half hour later.
 The advance here and there has heen momentarily checked by fierce resistance and the stiffest kind of niachlne gun fire, but the Americans had so resolutely gone after their objective and the advance artillery llrlng had been so complete that nothing could stop them.
 More than fifteen hundred prison- CTS had been captured up to Tate this
 These were confined in the cages afternoon
 ana more were coming in.
 From a strategic point of view the victory was more important than at first appeared
 From just north of Romagne and east and west of the point carried by the American troops there is nothing but level ground and no more serious enemy Qualifications to encounter.
 Ideal conditions for the Americans are in prospect and the Germans have lost a large part of their strength-their tremendous fortifica- tlons and concrete pill boxes.
 After an intense nineteen hour bombardment which nearly destroyed the shattered the German defenses, the American infantry began it's ad- vance at 8:30 o'clock.
 All along the front a heavy mist was hanging and aerial observers were unable to report for several hours whether the attack was suc- cess or failure.
