vxIERENT the French war pictures
w shown last night at the Bellevue
stratford simply wonderful? But so
dreadful too. II does make one sick to
think what our boys have to face and
go through before victory is finally ours
(as II surely will bel We have only to
be brave and "carry on" to win in the
end.
We hear of the vandalism, OF the havoc
wrought by the retiring Germans, but we
do not realize 1t until, as last night, We
see a huge orchard in bloom, and every
tree hacked In n circle three feet above
ground (which means that the sap cannot
continue to flow and the tree must die in
a years timel. Or the interior of the
chapel Of the Cathedral Of Rheims. where
every French king spent the vigil of the
day Of his coronation, a mass of ruins
with only a bit of the reredos remaining
Factories, manufacturing houses homes
trees--all utterly ruined and devastated
by dynamite, firebrands and shell shot
Really 1t was too utterly awful, and so
real being reproduced in the actual colors.
1t seemed as If one could scarcely breathe
with the horror of it, until the end. when
There were thrown on the screen some re-
|productions of sunsets over the battletields
land from the tower of Rheims Cathedral
And it flooded ones soul with comfort and
hought that God is in His heaven and
the mere setting of His sun can bring
beauty of such stupendous magnitude over
he devastated regions. how much more
ian He bring out of all this sorrow in the
ives Of His poor people. if We but trust
m Him to bring it all right, and. in the
Meantime, do our part, remembering the
aging that God made us without our
p-operation but lie will not save us with
it our cooperation" ."
