Ruth Garrett.

A heavy pail of gloom settled over our
entire community when the word passed
from one home to another that little Ruth
Garrett the four-year-old daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. George E. Garrett. had passed
away.
She was a child that attracted all who
came In contact with her. With hair that
was as sheen Of gold. beautiful win
ming face, tender and loving disposition,
she readily won her way into the hearts and
affections Of all who knew her. We have
been asked and have questioned ourselves.
why her mission on earth was so soon
endedH We cannot tell--we do not know
We only know that God is good, and that
God is love.
The funeral was held In the home of
her parents on Tuesday. July 20, conducted
by their pastor, the Rev. j. j. Ringer, who
from the first verse Of the 10th Psalm
spoke loving words of comfort to those
who were so sorely stricken. The great
gathering Of friends. young and old, from
near and far, expressed the sympathy as
well as the esteem in which Brother and
Sister Garrett are held. Her little body,
on day that was like her life-sunny,
and EMPOWERED In roses-wss laid to rest
In Forest Oak Cemetery, Gaithersburg. Md.
Besides her father and mother. she leaves
behind her brother and sister. Roscoe
and LOrene. There is a vacancy In the
hearts and home Of this dear family that
will be hard to fill. But they know where
to look for comfort. Some glad day they
shall again see their precious darling be-
yond the sunset and the clouds.

closed the part played by the Army hut
and the Army lassie at the front, six such
nuts having already been established in
the newly taken St. Mihiel salient. He
said:
I'VE here at home. sheltered behind their
wall of STEEL must not fail them. The
Salvation Army has followed the flag to
the last firing-line trenches.
Our women have made the American
pie and dOughnut famous as an interna-
tional delicacy. One good woman can
affect the lives of hundred men by help
ing maintain the morale. These agencies,
now allied, are absolute necessities in the
lives of our soldiers over there. Creeds
have been unthought of. We are all bound
together in one grand army to crush autoc-
racy. The Protestant of England fights
side by side with the Catholic of France,
Jew and Gentle, white and black Shall
we be less allied here 7"
Mrs. William Adams Brown. OF New
York, spoke for the Y. W. C. A. Among
her observations was the following
THE Y. W. c. A. is the one organization
composed entirely Of women, working for
women. We have tried, in the words of
Gen. Funston, to put dignity and back
bone into the woman behind the soldier
The morale Of the woman has direct
effect upon the morale of the man. Our
task increases, as the new draft is about
to add to the 100000 women industrial
workers But 1t is not merely the Y. W.
c. A, but the entire womanhood Of America
that is behind this drive to cheer the SOL
der on"
A feature Of this conference was the
presence in sky-blue uniform Of Capt. Lionel
Masson-F Forester wearer of the Croix de
Guerre, and hero of Verdun. He gave the
testimony Of French army men as to the
splendid usefulness Of these war-work
ministrations to the soldiers in keeping up
their fighting spirit. He said:
The soldier needs more than food. The
commissiariat gives him that. He needs
moro than rifles; the ordnance department
supplies him with them. He needs mental
and moral food. These gifts and comforts.
these little services given by the Y. M. C.
A. and the Knights of Columbus huts and
other ministrations are Of real military
value. Let it never be said OF your gifts
what the kaiser first said Of the British
army, a contemplate little army He who
can give and does not is a Stacker"

Baptists Observe Heroes Day."

The request from the Government that
Sunday, September 29th. be observed as
a special day Of honor for the men who
have made the supreme sacrifice" for
country and for God met with hearty re-
spouse from the Baptist Church Of Rock
vile. There are twenty-one men who are
daily remembered by this CONGREGATION and
whose stars occupy place on the service
flag. One gold star is constant reminder
of what these men are daring and doing.
The evening service was finely attended
and the choir and CONGREGATIONAL singing
was feature.
The pastor, Rev. P. Rowland Wagner,
used as his text Mark 10. 1880. and en-
phasized the following points:
l. This colossal conflict has been real
test of friendship, and America has gone
into it at friendships call. No personal
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, no selfish attachments,
no hidden aims. but only desire to be
the big brother" to those in need Of friends
2. The war has proven test by fire,
and our men have measured up to the de-
mands of the hour. This melting pot of
the Nations has shown. beyond doubt, that
America raises men Of brain and Drawn
who will not shrink or shirk when weighed
in the balance.
8. The results already attained reveal
the ultimate triumph of freedom, the I'M
folding process of Gods plan has been
evidenced, and the United States of Ameri-
ca has stepped into the warning, making
possible future United States Of the World
in which will dwell righteousness, peace
and brotherhood. The little child, like the
small nation. will be guaranteed fair
deal and Christ will be enthroned in hearts
and homes. Thus our boys in khaki and
blue, leaving home and Preside, city and
country, bank and bench, have experienced
and standardized new ideal which must
be paralleled in our spiritual warfare. They
.over there" and we lover here" will thus
form perfected whole, which, in the might
and majesty Of our King, will do much
toward curing the worlds sore spots in this
generation of time. and shamed, indeed,
the country, community, church or citizen
that allows others to do their part while
they stand by and merely criticise, con-
denim and chirp. Let each do, dare, die,
if need be. Let no man take thy crown. ="
