Pm back again, I've taken in my
washing, irored the handkerchiefs
and stock ties, pressed my good
breeches, then retreat and supper, and
our wood supply nearly exhausted.
A long Sunday evening and cold night
to live through.
After supper it was about dusk, and
something had to be done. We
couldn't steal from the kitchen or
mess hall, they are wise to us and
had it locked or under surveillance.
when this cold spell commenced. there
were couple of thousand soldiers
in the trenches. The powers that be,
didn't get wise to themselves and take
the boys out until a couple of them
had died. We were taken out the
evening before the storm started.
But the fact that there was no men
in the trenches meant that we could
cut across them into "No mans land"
and cut down a tree. You see the
war was called off until sunny day.
Over in "No mans land" was the
pearest trees, there was an order
against cutting them down, but we
had no wood and it was getting dark,
and regulations don't mean so much
after dark.
1t seemed that we jumped a hun
dred trenches. We had choice of
oak or pine, but from past expert
ences we learned that green pine
wouldn't burn. worth a darn, so we
picked out nice young white oak.
After saving it down we sawed a
piece off of the butt Of it. / know
that kind Of wood, but the boys in
sisted on cutting off twice as much
as | wanted them too, consequently
we broke all Of our belts trying to
drag it away. We finally buried it in
the snow for future reference and
chopped off bunch of branches and
was satisfied to drag them across
all those trenches. We have them
sawed up and we're comfortable.
When we went it was beastly cold
and d foot of snow on the ground.
Not having any gloves yet l pulled
on my rev bed socks to keep my
hands warm, then when / got back
here your package was lying on my
cot. The bunch Immediately pounced

The wristlets of course are just it,

Norway has been spared from war,
but it is hard time for the small
neutral states in Europe. They are
too weak to go to war. They would
be only little taste for the enemy.
They are in no way prepared for war.
The few warships they have can be
done away with ir a half hour. A
country with such a coast line as
Norway has, as may easily be sup
posed, lives by the sea,-in fishing
and in trade with other countries.
More than three hundred boats have
been sunk for us during the war, and
new ones are sunk every day and
many day, since the German block
ade. America will only let us have
food, if we, in exchange, bring food
to England and France, and to come
out on the North Sea is to mean to be
sunk. A great many lives have been
lost but Norwegian sea men are will
ing to make the sacrifice, to get food
into the country,-food and fuel. Oh
what time will the world learn to
whom Him, who is the Prince of
Peace.
When Sievert was in America
took lot over in our name, and have
since been making payments on it.
We have potatoes and few vegeta-
bles there, but it lies three English
miles from where we live and it is
hard to go back and forth to work it.
| have been wanting to put up little
"hut" as they call them here. where
Esther and / can live ALI summer, as
it is also much healthier there than
here in the city in the warm weather.
This week the carpenters are going
to begin on it. Think, it will cost
about $4,000 just that little bit of
building. But it will keep us both
from starving, to be able to raise a
little food there. 1t is Gods good
gift to us. l don't know where the
means are coming from to pay for it.
but as it is a dire necessity and God
has promised to supply our needs, 1
know it is going to go through. l
viii send you little picture of it
when it is finished. / love this coun-
try and this people and have no wish
to leave them. We are working in
the interests of "Peace on earth, good
will toward all men," and that is what
the world needs.
Esther, our baby, is thirteen years
old, and begins next week after
vacation in higher school. She
learns so easily and wants to be a
teacher.
How big your boy is, and your little
girl, who was not born when | was
there, is now large girl.

Interesting Letters

From Mrs. Lillian illness in
Christiana, Norway. Mrs. illness is
sister of our tOwnsman, Alva Burt,
and this letter was written to a sis
ter in Marshalltown, Iowa. 1t is
printed in full as it will give some
idea of Che suffering, the trials and
tribulatiOns of the inhabitants of the
small neutral countries in Europe.
have received your letter, it was
long time on the way as it has been
opened by censor, but received it al
right. am glad to hear you are all
well.
Our dear Emily passed from this
life February 18th.It was over two
months before we heard of her death.
Her husband wrote and sent pictures
taken the day after her burial. The
one was her husband, Fred Linness,
kneeling with their little girl beside
him by the grave, covered with the
loveliest flowers as only California
has in a February month.
He stood over Emily night and day
the last two weeks, tho they had a
nurse. They knew what true love was
as few do. He was everything for
her and she for him, and they al
most worshiped their baby girl
But she had to leave it ALL She has
had so many hard things to pass
through in coming to a strange coun-
try alone, and now she had nice
home and all she could wish. But
Gods ways are not our ways, and yet
His ways are the best, the very best,
If we could only see them in their
right light. Three of my children
are now on the other side, and l only
have three left. Emily died trusting
in Him who died for us, and my
Agnes fairly sprang to Heaven, so
great was her delight that "God
would really have her already" as
she said over and over, o how ripened
she was for heaven full of love and
purity. My baby boy was only a
month old. The three / have left are
good faithful trusted girls, loved by
all. God has been good to me with
my children.
Beulah and Lilly are at present in
the same family. They are such good
friends that they can hardly be away
from one another. Beulah is parlor
maid and Lilly nursegirl. Lilly was
in a clothing store seven months last
winter, but food is so costly that we
can hardly have them at home, as
they can only clothe themselves with
the salary they have there, so we
thought it best for them to take
places in good families where they
are able to have more food.
