LaFne, where other survivors were
landed from the vessel, is on the

For some time the Tuseania has
been under charter 10 the Cunard
Line and she is the fifth big vessel of
the Cunard Company lost since the
war began.

American port to France. Several
American transports, however, have
been torpedoed on the return journey

When the Tusoania was first put IN
TO service her appointments for the

could carry $50, We're sumptouous.

The first and second class staterooms
were situated on the bridge deck and

Ii IS probable, however, in view of
the eXigencies of the situation, that
the steamer has been stripped of most
of her luxurious fitting in order to
take as great a number of troops as
possible on each voyage.

The Christian motive in social life
stands for thoughtfulness:
For | was hungred, and We gave
me meat: | was thirsty, and We gave
me drink: | was stranger, and We
took me in:
Naked, and We clothed me: | was
sick, and We visited me: ] was in pris-
on. and We came unto me."-Matt.
25:S5-36.
and the King shall answer and
say unto them, Verify | say unto you,
Inasmuch as We have done it unto
one of the least of these my brethren,
We have done L unto me. Matt. p:
40.
The worldly motive is this:
And there was also strife among
them. which of them should be ac-
counted the greatest."-Luke 22:24-
The Christian motive in social life
stands above all else for service, and
in this Christ have given Us the su-
preme example:
And he said unto them, The kings
If the Gentiles exercise lordship over
them: and they that exercise authori-
ty upon them are called benefactors.
But We shall not be so: but he that
is greatest among you, let him be as
the younger; and he that is chief, as
he that doth serve.
For whether is greater, he that
sitteth at meat, or he that serveth
is not he that sitteth at meat but |
am among you as he that serveth. F"
Luke 22:25-27.
HE riseth from supper, and laid
aside his garments; and took towel,
and girded himself.
After that he poureth water into
a basin, and began to wash the dis
ciples' feet, and to wipe them with the
towel wherewith he was girded. -
John 13:4-5.
Given the Christian motive in soci-
al life what il will accomplish?
1t will take Mary Scissor and put
her in the midst of an African harem
and prevent her, even one, being
molested or injured or hurt in any
way. but make of her ruler of right
eousness and a winner of souls.
Il will take David Livingstone, and
give him power over degraded human
ity in the heart of Africa, and also
access to the hearts of the noble and
great of the civilized world, and be-
stow upon his body after death, the
greatest honor conferred upon an
Englishman-burial in Westminster
Abbey.
Given the christian motive in social
life We may all do something to make

IS His custom to test all that we do

SOMETHING GOOD FOR
EAGLE READERS.

We have something good in store
for the readers of the Oxford Eagle.
You will probably observe a change in
the style of the news stories in the
next issue of the paper. We have
employed an experience reporter, who
will assist in getting together all the
news of the town.
While we have been doing our best
to improve the paper from time to
time, the mechanical end of the bus
mess came first for our attention.
The news end of the business. one of
the most important features of the
paper, has to a large extent, been neg
lected. We are glad now, however,
to announce that this important fea-
ture of the paper will have the en-
tire services of an expert in this line.
If you are a reader of the Eagle,
tell your friends that the old sheet is
getting better with age, and that
those who do not read it will be the
losers.
The price Of the ? 1er is S1.O0 per
year, in advance Our of nearly 1000
subscribers we have not a single credit
name on our list. When your time
Is out, the paper is discontinued-un-
less you renew by paying up.
1t IS out intention to keep the paper
at Sl.OO per year. if we can do so
without losing money, and so long as
we can keep a large list like we have

& CHRISTIAN MOTIVE

prayer: That they may all be one;

IN thee, that they also may be In
