: and that by her own sons. The British
government has African troops in
France today Some Of these men have
been brought from jungle homes in
northern Africa and placed in the CEN
ter OF civilization and these surround
ings will have a great bearing on their
lives. These men like our own boys
have the uplifting surrounding that is
furnished by the Y. NJ. G. A. and other
such organizations. They are taking
their place cn the field and are prov
ing themselves TO be true soldiers.
When they return home they are bound
TO seek higher things and not be salts
fed 10 live as heretofore. The Kaiser
and his helpers cannot check Gods
plans, and we know the missionaries
now in Africa will welcome such a
flood OF Christian men TO Africa. Yes,
these African boys are being helped,
mentally, morally, physically and spir-
itually.
The Executive Committee as well as
West C. e. Society, OF which this young
man was a member. greatly regret the
loss Of William Foulke in Christian En-
deavOr work He was always on the
Job and worked with untirlng effort
in the City Union Lookout Work bring
ing il up 10 a standard worthy Of no
tice. He was always willing 10 do his
part, whether in state. city, or local
Society work, and he has written sew
eral topics for the paper on very short
notice. Yes, we regret having him go,
but we are proud OF him and we are
sure "Bill" will have a strong influ-
ence upon the boys with whom he
comes in contact. We pay this trib-
ute TO The second vice-president OF the
City Christian Endeavor Union. Mr..
William B. Foulk, who left last Monday
for Camp Meade.
Endeavorers the calling Of the young
men and even our young women Is
steadily reducing the ranks Of the @. r.
In this city and that means that we
who are left must do a little more
we must unite our efforts.
Gods work shall not be halted, re-
member that the agents Of sin and vice |
never sleep and where we think we are
strong let us be on guard because there |
may be something come up which may |
break down what has been built up. |
Yes, IL is true that we are all busy,
but let us not neglect so great a work,
Gods work is the most important work
of the day.
